1T WAS AN OUTRAGE.

In the smoking car, along with half dozen
others of US, was an engineer who was going to
Peoria, and after a time the Judge started to
draw him out by saying
81 presume you have had your share of close
shaves, along with other engineers ?"
II have sir, was the reply.
'Been in many smash-upsY
"a full dozen, guess"
"Any particular adventure that might be
called wonderful"
''Why, yes, did have one" replied the
man, after relighting his old cigar stump.
II didn't think it any great shave myself,
but the boys cracked it up as something
extra"
"Let us hear about it?' said the Judge, as
he passed him Havana.
"Well. one day about three years ago was
coming West with the lightning express and
was running to make up lost time Down
here about twenty miles two roads cross, as
you will see, and there are a lot of switches and
side tracks. l had just whistled for the cross
ing and put on brakes when the coupling be-
tween the tender and the baggage car broke"
81 see, see" murmured the Judge
"And the same moment something went
wrong with old No. 40, and | could not shut
off steam. She sprang away like flash, and
as she struck the crossing she left the track and
entered a meadow filled with stumps."
"Good heavens "
"She kept a straight course for about forty
rods, smashing the stumps every second and
then leaped a ditch, struck the rails OF the ID.
& III. road, and after wobble or two settled
down and ran for two miles"
Amazing Amazing
''Then, at crossing, she left the metals,
entered a corn field, and, bearing to the right,
ploughed her way across the country until she
came to our own road again. She had long
Jump to make over marsh, but she made it,
struck the rails, and away she went"
"You-don't-say-sO!

run of two miles l got control of my eng le,
ran up and coupled to the palace car. and " Nent

Not a soul lost, and not thing broken. The
Superintendent played a mean trick on me,
though"
"How?"
"Why the farmer who owned the meadow
paid the company S1S for the stumps l had
knocked out for him, while the cornfield man
charged 50 for damages. The superintendent
pocketed the balance of the money"

Ninety dollars"
That's for running the road ?"
'sYes"
"And nothing for lying?''

"That's an outrage The superintendent is

YOUTH AND AGE.

There is philosophy as well as wit in DR..
Holmes characteristic observation, in writing
of Julia Ward Howe's seventieth birthday,
that "to be seventy years young is sometimes
far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty
years DID,"
The author of the Battle Hymn" is splen-
did illustration, as was the "Autocrat" at her
age, of both the possibility and the beauty of
being seventy years young" In intellectual
activity, in physical health, in enjoyment of
life and in the power of adding to the pleasure
of others Mrs. Howe is far superior to many
men and women who are forty years old'' =
with all that DR.. Holmes meant to imply by
this deft phrase.
The saying that "a man is only as old as he
feels and woman as old as she looks" is only
specifically true. A man may be old at forty
without being conscious of it. A woman may
be young at seventy without looking it. 1t is
the interest which one has in life, and the zest
and capacity for enjoying it, that tell the story
of age more truly than the record of years. A
great French writer claimed the right to be
congratulated upon having reached the half
century mile post upon the ground, POLITICALLY
expressed, that the period between forty and
fifty is 'the old age of youth" while at fifty
begins 'the youth of old age"
To keep the bloom upon this second youth
is proof that one has mastered the philosophy
of right living. 1.-THE wise man is he who
keeps his child-heart," said the Greeks. The
heart of childhood prompts to activity, to
cheerfulneSs, to winged faith and bright-eyed
hope. 1t is by making wise use of life that
one avoids becoming old at forty, and may
hope to be young at seventy.

She Meant the other Mr.. Jones.

He had never seen telephone-you
can see how old the story is. He had
never.seen telephone, and his friend
was showing him how it worked. 1T
was in his office. He called up his
house and the wife came to the tele-
phone.
MY dear, Mr.. Jones is here, and I
have asked him to come up to dinner"
Then he turned to Mr.. Jones and
said:
Put your ear to that and you'll hear
the answer"
He did, and this was the answer:
"Now, John, told you would never
have that disagreeable wretch in my
house again.
What was that?" spoke ont Mr..
Jones. Women are quick. A man
would have simply backed away from
the telephone and said no more. She
took in the situation in a second when
she heard the strange voice, and quick

Prince William OF Prussia.

The next emperor of Germany, if he
lives, is little Prince William of Prussia.
son of the present Emperor William.
He is an amusing little fellow, nearly
seven years old. When he was six he
was given a bedroom by himself to
sleep in, and this is what he said when
he was promoted from the nursery to
the new apartment: "Oh, that's nice;
now I won't have to sleep with the
children any more" The children that
he referred to are his three little broth
ers, Frederick, Adelbert and Augustus
William, who are five, four and two
years old. These four little princes
love to play soldier, and have splendid
collection of fighting men in uniform,
toy horses, toy guns and toy forts, with
o real, live old soldier to instruct them
in the art of siege and drill and battle
The little princes themselves wear real
German uniforms when they are play
ing. They do not go to school, but
they have a tutor who has taught the
eldest two to read and write. Last
summer the princes had delightful
holiday with their mother at Oberhof,

little fortress was built for them in a
corner of the garden, with tent and
two small guns. The three eldest
princes. who were dressed as officers,
paraded in front of the fort. Then,
while the crown prince beat the drum,
the two young ones marched past, COM
manded by an old soldier, who taught
them how to attack and defend the
fort The other little prince who was
only about one year and six months
old, was dressed in white, with tiny
helmet on his head. He looked on at
his nurses side and clapped his hands
with delight as he saw his brothers
When little Prince Williams
grandfather died he asked at once:
Did grandpapa take his sword with
him?" and when he was taken into the
room where the emperor lay he said:
All! that's right, he always carries his
sword wherever he goes. l am glad he
did not leave it behind"

In the crowded hives of men;
Hart weary Of building and spelling
And spelling and building again,
And long for the dear old river
Whero dreamed my youth away:
For . dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in day.
I an sick Of the snowy seeming
q . LIE that is half lie;
OF The faces lined with scheming,
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor,
would go where the children play:
For dreamer lives forever,
And q toiler dies in q day.
I feel no pride, but pity
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet In the city
But the patient lives Of the poor.
Oh, the little hands SO skilful,
And the child mind choked with weeds,
The daughters heart grows wilful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No, moi from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies Of mart and stage,
/ would fly to the woods low rustic,
And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as Of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away;
For q dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in n day.

because they have not found the right kind
