Do We Mood Big Muscles?

BY no means. Persons of herculean
build frequently possess a minimum Of gen.
uine vigor, and exhibit less endurance than
very small people. Real vigor means the
ability to digest and sleep well, and to per
form a reasonable amount of daily physical
and mental labor without unnatural fatigue.

THE ENGINEERS STORY. 4
Which Caused Justice to lie Done to the
Extent of Nine Dollars,

Extent of Nine Dollars.
In the smoking car, along with halt
a dozen others of us, was an engineer
who was going down 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 en-
gineersp"
81 have, sir" was the reply.
Been in many s~mash-upsm
"a full dozen, | guess"
amy particular adventure that
might be called wonderful"
"Why, yes, | have one" replied the
man, after rclighting his old cigar
stump. al 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 a Havana.
-"Well. n day about three years
ago | was coming West with the light
ming 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. | had just whistled
for the crossing and put on the brakes
when the coupling between the tender
and the baggage car broke"
81 see, | see" murmured the Judge.
"At the same moment something
went wrong with old No. 40. and |
could not shut off steam. She sprang
away like a flash. and as she struck
the crossing she left the track and en-
tered a meadow filed 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. g. II. road,
and after a wObble OF two settled down
and ran for two miles,
Amazing! Amazingm
Then, at n crossing, she left the
metals, entered a corn-field, and bear
ing to the right, plowed her way
across the country until she came to
our own road again. She had a long
jump to make over a marsh, but she
made it, struck the rails, and away
she went"
"You-don't-say-sow
"a was 10Y behind my train. and,
after a run of two miles. | got control
OF the engine, ran up and coupled to
the palace car, and went into Ashton
pushing the train ahead of me-"
Great Scott! And was no one

mot a soul, and not a thing broken.
The superintendent played a mean
trick on me, though"
How"
"Why, the farmer who owned the
meadow paid the company $lS for the
stumps | had knocked out for him,
while the corn-field mar charged S
for damages. The superintendent
pocketcd the balance of the money"

change.


 She abounds in every community. Her lot is not always a happy one not frequently "a pleasant one. The crape for young hopes hangs cut on her face, and the longing for the unat- tainable marks her air. Brave though she be-and she must have courage to stem the adverse tide of life, there are easy marks of many defeat to humil- fate her, relics of many & despair to goad her. If she is blameless, the vic tim of mans perfidy and selfish neg lect, the years and experience of her life, lonely as it is, though cast in crowded tenements, in bustling msrts or busy streets, discipline her into the highest nature woman is capable of unappreciated self sacrifice. If she chafe under her hard lot, she soon be- comes a creature whom 1t is wisdom and safety to avoid.
 She is of two kinds The lofty spirited girl, whose boast is she will call no man boss, yield her will to no mans dictation, and the tame-spirited one, whose gentle nature opposes no resistance of oppression, flashes back no resentment for wrong, and who sinks under the weight of her own lack of individuality, Is taken at her valuation and eventually discarded by her husband ss & thing of little value.
 A moderate display of dignity, a little timely show of proper spirit and self-respect would have established her value at higher figure, and her husband would have valued her ac cordingly. But she had no spirit and therefore was unequal to the task of properly displaying her womanly in- dependence. If, later along, she saw her mistake and made the effort to re- gain lost ground, she was not ual to the emergency, and each new effort only sunk her deeper into sbject serf- dom, and brought the end she dreaded all the nearer.
 She with the pride and spirit finds her way into the divorce court, and, whether she be the victim of mans tyranny or her own ill-temper and unyieldirg, but misapplied pride, the divorce court is the remedy for her. Not long does she wear the weeds of grass-widowhood once she is freed from the yoke that galled. "There are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught" is her motto, and experience aided by keen desire, its her for skill ful and successful undertaking. Whether she has learned by experi- ence, been tanned by circumstances, grown less irascible by years, or learned to give and take and chafe in silence when compelled to take more than her share, or whether she has found her life's complement in her second venture, her second marriage is generally for better rather than for worse. The bait of the grass-widow who possesses any considerable per- sonal charms, Is . dangerous one to toy with if the man who plays fast and loose with her for his own pas time is not, in his own estimation, . marvin man.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, August 7.--[Special to
The Bee There was very heavy rain
between Norfolk and this city, Cedar and
Wayne counties being in the center Of the
storm The upper branches Of the Logan
are bank full and a washout Is reported on
the Harrington branch. So far as appears
on the Norfolk branch little damage was
done, while heavy rain will be OF great ad-
vantage to grass, corn and other late crops.
The general outlook for crops has been unus-
ually fine. Some threshing of wheat in
Wayne county gave from twenty to twenty
seven bushels per acre.
The grading Is completed and bridging well
under way on the Sioux City & Ogden rail
road, or Pacific Short Line, to Plainview, in
Pierce county. A large portion of the grad
ers on this line have gone to work on the
Sioux City a. Northwestern railroad between
Merritt station and Palisades, where this
railroad is to intersect the Manitoba rail
road, thus making second direct line to
Duluth, and with the Union Pacific con-
tinuous line to the Pacific coast from Sioux
City.
The corn palace festival in Sioux City will
in many respects excel either of its prede-
cessors. The palace will be higher and more
ample The harvest excursions will enable
many to see NeDraska's mammoth crops and
take in this festival.
