It is said that some Of the chief railroads
in the country employ special persons to in
form the bereaved family when an employe
has been killed Considering that every year
a small army Of men meet their death ON the
track, the statement is not incredible. An
old railroad man at Reading who has dis
charged this painful Office, gives the follow
ing among other experiences:
"It was only few days ago that went to
a home and found the wife chatting and
laughing with a neighbor's wife while she
was at work among her rose bushes and
flowers She hadn't been married very long.

home She stared at me, became white as a

husband had been killed by striking against

remarked down town shoe dealer to a re-
porter the other day.
patent leather shoes look well and wear
well, if proper care is taken OF theni,n he con-
tinued, "but good many people don't
understand how to take care Of fine shoes.
It is mistaken ida that liberal applica-
tions Of sweet oil will preserve the leather.
On the contrary, it tends to obliterate
the enamel and rot the shoes. Particu-
larly is this true in hot weather.
Some men buy pair Of fine shoes

in few weeks his shoes are not fit to be
worn. hold that patent leather is econom-

every morning is comparatively small
matter, but it amounts to SIPS a year, and
by wearing patent leather SHOES in the spring,
summer and fall person saves enough p

But how can you preserve patent leathert'

and wiping them with a dry linen rag. A
dose of on after the shoes have been wet is

these beautiful gardens, where, during the
warm summer evenings, the tenants sit and

What is said to hnvs beon the largest pop
lar tree in Ohio recently went down before
the woodman's relentless AK to add, If all
goes well, to the contents of a capitalists
purse. This monarch Of the forest had n
traditional age, covering several centuries.
The oldest inhabitant Of Taylorviile, near
where it stood, could not recall a time when
its majestic crown had not outshone those Of
OIL the other woodlawn figures, and when it
WAS not looked upon as the patriarch Of the
forest. 4 trnnl measuring II feet inches
in diameter proudly supported an upper
growth whose topmost point reached a
height Of more than 2l0 feet, The hollow at
the hase widened into coy chamber, whose
diameter was Z feet, and whose odd hooks
and corners had afforded shelter to genera
tions Of prattling children and echoed the
sighs OF a thousand lovers. No bough pro
iected from its trunk below height Of GO
gect, but from thence upward it spread its
majestic shoots in every imaginable direc-
tion. Plainly it was too noble a tree to
stand as the arguments of our times run,
and when it was learned that it would yield
perhaps 10000 feet of excellent lumber, Of
course it had to come down. Some portions
Of it will be exhibited nt tho Cincinnati OK
