THE DYING REPORTERS SPECIAL.
An Injured Journalist Discharges His Duty
in the Face of Death.

1t il not so many years a that Tony
B, the attache of Central Iowa
paper, now defunct, rode out from
Southern Iowa city one bright morning
perched daringly on the brake of fiat
car that was attached to wild freight"
and loaded with iron rails. He was
like other reporters, made up of vices
and virtues-only the first seen by the
world, the latter best known by his in
innate friends. He had been in news
paper work for about SIX years, was
thoroughly capable, and scored more
scoops" than were ever recorded
against him. This in the eyes of the
CITY editor insured his entrance into
paradise.
To make the story short, forty miles
out from its starting point the "wild"
freight, with leap of madness and
terrible crash, went through bridge,
down sixty feet, and Tony sitting on
the brake beam. 1t was over in an in
slant. Such things don't wait for time
to catch up with them. When the con-
ductor of the train (the only one unin-
iured) crawled out of the wreck, his
eyes fell first on Tony, lying across the
side of a dismantled box car, on his
chest heavy rail, his legs crush d, and
dying. Beyond him lay dead brake
man; the engineer was buried under
his machine, and by large bowlder
was the fireman, with a broken back.
Tony was conscious, and, when the con-
ductor reached him, asked for paper and
pencil. They were found in his pockets.
Unable to write himself, he dictated
this, angrily ordering the men who had
come up to let him alone:
&C E., Managing Editor Star,
Iowa: Train through bridge at -.
Was on board and am hurt. Will send
full particulars at once. t. B."
A farmer was secured, who conveyed
it to the nearest station. Then this boy,
true to his duty and not f1inching before
death, suffering frightful agony, and
while willing hands sought in vain to
release him from his position, dictated
Especial" of fifteen hundred words to
ever know. 1t was with difficulty that
he could breathe, and every gasp cost
him a wrench of agony. But he held
death back down to the last few lines.
f'The killed were -" and so on, end
ing with the name of ebony B, re-
porter" AS he ended that his eyes
filled with tears, and he looked up visit
fully to the conductor, who had written
the telegram for him, and who himself
could not keep his tears back. "Tell
my mother" said Tony, ''that d d my
duty; and boys, rush that over the wires
for me. It's a SCOOP" 1t went over
the wire all right, and it was "scoop, y
but be ore 1t was printed Tony was dead.

THE Imagination of a three-year- old

The Mobile Rifles.
A PLEASING AND TOUCHING INCIDENT.


The following little incident, touch
ingly significant of the better feeling ex-
listing between the military people of
the North and South, occurred recently
at Mobile, Ala. A general of the United
States army was on his way from Ari-
IONA to New York, where he purposCd
entering a surgical college to have
difficult operation performed. As the
train with the sick soldier approached
Mobile, his aid saw that he was rapidly
becoming very i'll, and telegraphed
ahead for assistance to convey him to a
hospital. DR.. Hutton, the medical SUI
perintendent of the Marine Hospital,
was at the depot with attendants and a
carriage. The invalid was comfortably
placed in it with the gentlest and most
assiduous attention, but he died within
sight of the building, stranger in a
strange land
The next day DR.. Hutton telegraphed
to the family of the dead officer in Ari-
IONA for instructions as to the disposal
of the remains, and received in reply:
"Bury him where he died"
AS soon as the Mobile Rifles had
heard that,
GA soldier of the legion
Lay dying in Algiers,"
they fastened to his help. But he was
already dead, and it only remained for
them to do honor to his memory. This
they did by taking upon themselves the
performance of the last rites as though
the dead stranger had been one of their
own comrades. They carried him
draped with flags to the National Gene
terry and gave him all the honors of mil
itary burial. In the afternoon of one of
the hottest days of the Southern sum-
mer they marched in procession over
the two miles of dusty road, and as the
sun went down fired a farewell shot
over the strangers grave. Then cover
ing it with flowers, they left him in the
peaceful bIvouac or the dead.
The deceased soldier was a Philadel-
phian, and when the Mayor of Philadel-
phia heard of the "brotherly love" of
the Mobile Rifles he sent them an auto
graph letter of thanks, accompanied by
q beautiful floral tribute.
Surely this little incident is an earnest
of united interests, and proof that

One noticeable feature about Jewish
cemeteries In the south is the scarcity of new

or yellow fever. Statistics show that fewer
OF them die than any ether race from these

scourge In Toulon, only two orthodox Jews
died of 1t, while in numbers they equale,l
fully 20 per cent Of the population. Their
immunity from disease and the certainty
with which they recover when attacked by

diet. They are very strict about following
the dietary laws prescribed by Moses. Isn't
