There IL little girl residing In the
eastern suburb OF BellefountaIn who is
endowed with wonderful presence OF
mind. She is scarcely six years OF age,
but she possesses a sound Judgment as
the majority OF full-grown people. Re-
Gently gentleman of this city was
driving n spirited horse by her home,
when the animal took fright ut a rock
by the roadside. Despite all the driver
could do the horse stubbornly refused to
pass the rock. The more he was urged
the more he plunged and reared. The
littl girl stood at her gate an interested
spectator. At length, realizing the dan
ger the driver was In, called out:
"Wait, mister! an I'll come and sit
on the stone SOS the horsey can't see
it.n
And no sooner had the words passed
her lips. than the little darling ran from
her yard right up to within a few feet
of the maddened and frightened horse,
and took her position on the rock.
"Now," she said, after drawing her
skirts over the stone, and folding her
little hands, Maybe he will CO."
The driver forgot his own peril SO alb
sorbed he became in the heroic act of
the little girl who came to his rescue.
If she lives, and we hope she may, a
brave and useful woman will have de-
veloped from the little girl whose be-
ginning is so full of promise.-Bellefon-

Wonderful Endurance.

All the experience ofsuffering at sea
can hardly have furnished an instance
of greater endurance than that of Nc
Garry, one of the survivors of the Alas
kan, who was buffeted six days on a
frail raft, over which the sea was con-
tinually breaking, till he was thrown
ashore on the beach near Coos bay.
Probably not one man in million
could 20 through that ordeal and live.
Without food and without drink, save
as he could catch few drops upon a
a piece of board as the rain fell upon
him; continually in the water or
drenched by the waves, while obliged
to use all his strength to hold on to the
raft with his benumbed hands and
chafed and weary arms; carried into
the surf after six days and nights spent
like this, thrown ashore on breaker
that left him on the beach still retain
ing strength enough to crawl to place
OF succor and safety the story presents
an example of endurance and fortitude
that excites wonder and probably never
has been surpassed. Portland Oregoaai'

HE GREW RICH.
A Sample Instance of How Western
Fortunes are Made.

The ease with which fortunes are
sometimes acquired is well illustrated
by the following story told by Denver
(Col.) man. Said he:
"Glve a man energy, business tact
and foresightedness, and he will prob
ably succeed anywhere; but, in the
West, he is liable to acquire fortune
almost at once. 1 remember small
city out in Kansas when it was but a
village. I was the proprietor of the
the only dry goods store in it. One day
I was visited by dusty, foot-sore tramp
a good looking young fellow, but indis-
putably tramp. He had just struck
the town after a walk of many long
miles. He asked me for money, but I
told him he ought to go to work and
earn his living.
1.-THE young fellow went away, but
my rebuff had evidently set him to
thinking, for in an hour he came back
and said: 'Ifyou'll lend me SIS will go
to work. I saw that the fellow was in
great earnest and said: What security
have I that you will repay me?' Come
with me- said he, and I'll bring back
my security with me-
III rather liked the honest face of my
new acquaintance, and l lent him $5
on his promise to bring round his secur-
ity within an hour. Before the time
had passed here came Mr.. Tramp
wheeling barrel of apples; he rolled it
up to my store and through it to back
room, where he deposited it with the
remark, Here's your security He
opened the barrel, and taking a dozen
apples in his hands, went out in town.
"After awhile he returned minus the
apples, but with few nickels jingling
in his pockets. He took a gunny bag
and went away with larger supply OF
apples. In a dav or two he had retailed
all those apples at large advance on
the cost price. Then he borrowed $40
of me and built small rough board
shanty in vacant lot adjacent to my
store. Here he established a market,
and was soon dealing not in fruit alone
but in groceries and other provisions.
1.-THE town was just starting on a
boom, and Mr.. Tramp was sharp enough
to seize the many opportunities afford
ed him for making money. The coun-
try round bout was sparsely settled
and the farmers would come from eigh-
ty miles away to sell the products OF
their land. They would aim to reach
the outskirts of the city just before
night and camp out there, ready to dis
pose of their goods bright and early
next morning. My friend the tramr
got into the habit Of driving out tt
these camps and buying up everything
right there, and he was soon control
| ling the market OF the town. In short
within eight months this young man
whom / first saw as q tramp, was wortI

money, hand over fist. He is now one

A Wonderful Globe.

Among the many wonders of the
Paris exposition there is none that
shows more accurate or scientific
knowledge on the part of the makers
than the enormous globe on which the
earth's surface is depicted. The di-
ameter is forty-two feet and the surface
is 525 square feet, and these figures are
said to represent just one-millionth of
the dimensions of the great original.
The scale permits close detail. Large
cities have their outlines and some of
their principal thoroughfares expressed,
all drawn to scale. Everything that
relates to the earth-its geography, its
political divisions, all its means of COM
munication on land or sea-is shown.
The globe is made of stout pasteboard,
in 400 pieces, covered with plaster,
fastened to a skeleton of wrought-iron
ribs, and although it is very heavy, so
finely adjusted is the balance that it
will turn at the lightest touch. If it
were rotated at the same velocity as
that of the earth its movement would
hardly be visible, as point at the equa-
tor, where the speed would be highest,
would move at the rate of only an inch
a minute.-BoSton Transcript.

Memorial Architecture.

An outgrowth of the very successful
constitutional centennial celebration in
Philadelphia, two years ago, was the
meeting of representative of the thir-
teen original states in that city recently.
The purpose of the meeting was to or
ganize movement Tor the erection of
some lasting memorial of the great
events in American history, especially
the successful struggle for independ-
cnce. a committee was instructed to
prepare IA bill to be presented to con-
gress, asking that the ! 100000 loaned
by the government to the centennial
commission in 1876, and afterward re-
turned to the treasury, be given back
again to patriotic purposes, and be eX-
pended for the memorial. 1t is sug-
Fested that the memorial take the form
of great monument to be erected at
Philadelphia, city around which clus-
ter 50 many patriotic memories and
traditions, the scene of so much that
was eventful in the struggle for indie
pendence and constitutional govern
mcnt. There is a monument to the
memory of Washington, the grandest
structure of the kind in this country.
There are monuments to commemorate
decisive battles and great leaders. But
the purpose of this proposed monument
is much broader and contemplates a
permanent memorial of the whole
struggle which resulted in the founda-
ton of the republic. Whether or not
a monument, as proposed, will be the
most satisfactory memorial of this kind
is good subject for discussion, and as
the project will have to be laid before
congress there is plenty OF time to
consider it broadly i'll all its aspects

Canadian Competition.

One of the burning questions of the
day is the competition of American
railroads with those of Canada. 1t
is an important one in that it
raises an issue between the trans
portation aud the mercantile classes
of parts of the country. The railroad
companies of all sections of the United
States are up in arms against it; the
manufacturers and merchants of the
East and South vigorously condemn it.
The Canadian roads are not, they al
lege, even when upon American soil,
subjected to the nterstate-commerce
law, though this contention is disputed.
But thus far they can and do discrim-
mate in favor of some customers and
against others as much as they please.
They settle the long and short-haul
business after their own devices, and,
having the absolute control of their
management, they are enabled to, and
do, give lower rates than the American
lines, to the disadvantage of our roads
and of some of our manufacturers and
merchants. AS a consequence of the
complaints made against them, a COM
mittee was appointed at the last session
by the senate to investigate and report
upon the entire subject The NeiC
York World very fairly states the case,
! 10 respect to its sectional characteristics,
as follows: " A senate committee is in
curing as to the expediency of further
! legislation to correct what is, in effect,
an unfair discrimination by American
law against American enterprise, but
in New England opinion is strongly an
tagonistic to the suggestion. The rea-
son is plain enough. With their unfair
advantage in competition, the Canadian
roads take from our own large traffic
which they could not secure on fair
terms, and this traffic goes to New Eng
land ports; whereas, with equal condi-
tons of competition, it would be carried
by American roads to ports farther
south. The New Englanders are natu-
rally unwilling to surrender the local ad-
vantage, but such considerations should
not weigh with the committee or with
congress-" But it is not only New Eng
land that protests against anything be-
ing done by congress to interfere with
the competition of the Grand Trunk
and the Canadian Pacific railroads.
The West and Northwest are even
more earnestin combating congressional
interference Win lne operations OI
these companies. AT the hearing in
Chicago, it is stated. .,rominent bust
ness men of Boston and other New
England cities testified that " the
Canadian roads were a benefit not
only to New England, but to the
United States generally" All the
testimony there presented was highly
favorable to the continued competition
of the Canadian roads, but if the coun-
try is to have foreign transportation
competition, it should, in respect to the
interests of its own citizens and enter
prises, insist that it shall be carried on
only under conditions fair to the Ameri.
can railroads. It's manifestly unfair tc

former 60 free.-Philadelphia Ledger
