Evolving A SToRY.-"Ahw said Smith,
q commercial traveller, to group of friends,
81 was witness to sight just before leaving
Chicago" And then he told how he had
seen a poor German immigrant with his
wife and family of eight yellow-haired
children, how he had become interested in
them, and had learned that they had left
their native land to seek home in the
Northwest. He was touched with the ten
derness of the father and saw him purchas-
ing apples for the children. All the family
except the father had taken their seats on
the train and he was just making change for
his small purchase when the train began to
move out of the station. He made rush
for it, slipped, and then, before the eyes of
the poor family and other horror-struck pas
sengers, his head was taken off by the cars.
Smiths friends were much affected and it
was decided to take up purse for the poor
widow and fatherless children, and this was
speedily done and neat sum presented to
Smith to be forwarded. He, with tears in
his eyes, said:
"My friends, thank you, but can con-
ceal it no longer. That train took off the
rest of the man, and he still lives.
Smith will not travel this week. He is
laid up for repairs. Free Press.
