passengers were Injured, the fireman serious
~ hurt and the engineer was instantly killed.
The wreck was caused by persons deliberately
placing Instructions upon the track in such
manner as to secure the derailment of the
train. The work was done by skillful hands
and showed a thorough knowledge of rail
reading, the bars of o cattle guard near by
being torn UP and fastened on the rails after
the manner Of frog SO as to force one wheel
up above the track, while the other would be
Wedged from the rail-
The train was mixed one containing ten
bOX and two passenger cars with fOrty-Onc
passengers on board. When the train left

In dense wood the engineer, s. r. Moses,
who had his head out of the cab window
pecring ahead suddenly drew it In and said to
the fireman, My God Buffalo, we are gone"
An instant later the engine struck the OBJ
structiOns and bounded off on the ties The
engineer and fireman both stuck bravelv by
their posts, the former whstling down brakes
and reversing his lever
The engine ran along the ties for several
hundred yards, then pitched off The embank-
nent, turning sumersault and landing on
the Smokestack. The engineer, j. B. Moses
was caught beneath its pOnderOus weight and
killed instantly. Fireman A. Ii. CartrelI was
thrown from the cab against box car and
received serious cOntusiOnS of the head and
several fractures of the body, but will recover.
The box cars, which were between the en-
CINE and passenger coaches, were completely
wrecked, being piled up on top of the engine
and tender in the ditch. Several passengers
received injuries, but none of them were seri.
Gus, as the passenger cars remained on the
ties and were not piled up with the Others
The passengers remained at the spot until 2
o clock this morning, when relief train ar
rived and carried them off.
The body Of the brave engineer who refused
TO jump and save his life was taken to Wal
nut Springs where he left wife and several
small children. He had been employed on

watermelon Juice for the Complexion.

Miss Carrie Towpsend, in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat, tells the following:
"I.always have feeling of pity for
girls who have Aorid or sallow complex
ions, or whose faces are despatched with
freckles, looking as if they bad been
about when bran bin exploded. / feel
sorry for them, not because of any harm
that the freckles do, for really I think
them nice, as they are evidences OF a
pure, light and healthy complexion, but
because the removal of them or the sal.
lowness is so easy if they knew how. 1
accidently discovered sovereign remedy
couple Of years ago, which costs next to
nothing.
"Ons day the plumber shut our water
off and / could pet none in which to wash
my face. It was fearfully soiled, and,
looking out of the window just then, l
saw q friend approaching to call on me.
Glancing around I noticed half Of q
watermelon from which the meat had
been removed some time before. It was
partly filled with juice, and I hastily
washed my face in it. The result was so
soothing that repeatedly washed my
face in that mapper. Judge of my as.
tonishment, few days later, on seeing
that there was not freckle left on my
face. A number of my girl friends then
tried it, and the result was great beau.
tifyinp of fcountenances. No matter what
is wrong with the face, the juice of the
watermelon will rectify it aud produce a
clear skim"

The Youngest in America.

Augusta now boasts of the youngest
grandfather in America, and beats the
record in the person OF Mr.. James
Lindsay, who is thirty. i've years Of age.
The story is a romantic and sad one,
and the Evening Ne,gs called at Mr.
Lindsay's residence, No. 1903 Broad
street, last afternoon, but the young
grandpa was not in, being at his daily
work as machinist in the sibley Mills.
Mrs. Lindsay was found, and when asked
if she would object to give fof pdblica-
tiona an account of the story she replied :
e'No, sir. Mr.. Lindsay is the happiest
man in. the town, aud we.will not mind
its publication"
Continuing she said: "1n 1870 James
Lindsay, who was then but seventeen
years old, married me. I was twenty.
one years Of age. A year afterward our
union was blessed by bouncing boy
named William. He grew up with the
times and when but quite a lad ne
resolved to follow his father footsteps and
marry while young. When he was
fifteen years old he became acquainted
with Miss Mary Connora, and on the
21st of June, he romantically ran away
and welded Miss Connors, who was then
only nineteen"
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lindsay's life
has been a happy one, and was made
more SO the first of this month when they
were blessed with a'boy. Mrs. Lindsay,
however, died on the 10th, but the baby
survives. The little one is quite sick
now and is being cared for by its young
grandparents.
Mr.. Lindsay is happy in being known
as the youngest grandpapa in this coun'
try, and, probably; in the whole world
This record will be hard to down.

- According to recent writer, what
Napoleon Bonaparte did with the enoE-
NOUS fortune be left somewhere when
sent to ST. Helena, has since remained
q msytery. In 1872 he told Marshal
Berthier, and also Bourrienne, bis private
secretary, that he had nearly 100000, 600
francs, or $20,000,000 in our money, 10
his personal fortune. That he did not
expend it is certain, for there was no
occasion to do 30. Then, as Emperor,
the national exchequer received and
nonored his drafts. In 1906. Napoleon,
after having enriched all his family, had
$l5,0O0,00O of his own. The money re
ceived from the United States for the
Louisiana purchase he used in re equip
ping the army that fought aud won at
Austerlitz and Wagram. At least So
000,0C0 of that money was never accoun
ted for by the Emperor. Where did ne
hide this enormou, sum? He was by
far the richest man in Europe IN 1919,
and not trace of the money was lett
behind him. The French Government
thinks it has clue. The result will be
watched for with the greatest interest. Inc
fortune is made the basis of a fascinating
and ingenious romance recently issued
under the title of Napoleon Smith"

A Guide to Success.

Business men, especially those who
are thoroughly, prompt and methodical,
are guided by certain elementary Princi-
Piles. In some cases principles are form.
ulated into simple rules, which cover
even the details of conduct. a promi.
nent New York banker attributes bis
success in business to the care with which
be has obeyed these plain rules:
Take time for eating, sleeping and di-
gestion.
Don't worry. Be satisfied with your
work after doing it veil.
Never ask another to do what you
ought to attend to personally.
Shun the slightest appearance of
dishonesty as you would shun the
plague.
Always meet your appointments on
time. Never late. Ifpossible, not much
ahead of the moment.
Don't talk too much. Letyour actions
speak for yourself.
Be honest, even ifyou lose money by it.
Never let business interfere with home
duties.
Remember that money alone cannot buy
peace, nor true friends, nora loving and
happy family.
It's refreshing, in these days of specu.
lation and dishonest dealings, to know
that a man can live according to the
above principles and yet make money
It shows that honesty and business 60
hand in hand.
