Regulations ON Danish Railwavs.

Every one who has Travelled in Denmar x
has noticed the enormous number of guard
houses along the railroads, and the fact that
women usually signal the trains. As meas
ure OF economy man and wife are employed
by the state, the former as track walker and
the latter as guard. The rules specify the re-
lationship to exist between these two classes
of employees, and rules are made to be obeyed.
When it happens that either dies the sur
vivor has just six weeks in which to find
another partner Neglect TO do so is
disobedience, punished with dismissal.
The employment of brother, sister
or servant to fill the vacancy Is not
allowed Tho guard or track walker must
marry in six weeks or leave. A case of the
kind occurred recently near the old town of
Ribe, on the German frontier. The stricken
widower petitioned the government to allow
him an extra week or two, alleging that his
work Of walking all day along the railroad
track did not give him a chance to look for a
wife, but his request was refused as in itself
an infraction Of discipline The hapless
widower had only six days of grace left, but
he did not want to lose his job and went
skirmishing with such energy that before the
end of the fifth he had a new wife tagging

NINE YEARS TO LIVE.
Then Comes the End OF the Wsrld
According 90 a street Preacher.
Freeport Bulletin


Freeport Bulletin.
An individual whose name was not
learned, and whose name matters little
anyhow, occupied agoodly portion of the
thoroughfares Saturday and discoursed
upon new brand of religion of which he
was sole inventor. He came in on the
Central in the morning armed with an an,
tique valse and voice that had been left
out over night and had been blighted by
frost. As soon as he struck the depot
platform he began to address the crowd
and soon twenty-five or thirty had gath
cred around him. He was clad in suit of
dingy black surmounted by rakish derby
hat of the vintage of SO. His eyes were
small and had been set out close together
40 that they might lean on one another for
support. His face was wrinkled out ex>
pressionless. and depending from his
chin was struggling grizzly beard that
looked like hens nest. He talked as
loudly rs the fractured condition of bis
voice would permit. He announced that
he had come as the advance agent of the
heavenly host and would bill the town
during the next few days. The world
would come to an end in just nine years
and seven days and after that the fire.

saved unless some of the crowd repented.
All men were sinners with no good thing
in them; therefore they should repent
and work in the same vineyard as he.
He thought this country was free coun,

erty OF conscience. but he had learned
Inherently since the police had gotten
after him and people sicked
their dogs upon him. The avant
courier went on in this strain for
some time and then shouldered his grip
and went up town. He stopped in front
OF COINS clothing store first and there de-
livered another address, resulted in sew
eral converts. but at the request of their
families their names are withheld
1t is little sad TO think that the world
will come to an end in nine years. This
will kill the political prospects of good

hopeful counteDauces.

constrained to decline according perms-

up in bitter TRADE and proceeded to
camp in the Office for an hour or two.
At last accounts both the mayor and
