SAW A TRAIN COMING.

The Thrilling Tale OF q Man on .
Railroad Bridge.
The train was passing over a high
trestle work on an Ohio railroad when
man who had been smoking his cigar in
silence suddenly observed:
"Ah! gentlemen, but have cause to
remember this spot all my life"
Anything happen to you here?" ask
ed one of the quartet.
Indeed something happened. 1t was
two years ago this month. was visit
ing my aunt in that hamlet at the other
end. One day wanted to come over to
the big stone quarry, quarter of mile
farther on. 1t was near cut to take
the track, and so l took it."
"And met trainr' exclaimed voice.
Yes, had reached the center of the
trestle, which is ninety-fve feet above
the cruel rocks, when l heard the whis-
tie Of locomotive, and moment later
caught sight Of freight train rounding
the curve. There was only one possible
way of escape"
And you-you"-
L SelZeQ u. InOugn CONSIDERABLY
ratified l did not lose my presence of
mind. Dropping down between the
crosspieces l swung clear with my feet
and hung on with my hands. You can
judge of mans feelings with almost
hundred feet of space between his feet
and great mass of jagged rock"
"Great Scotti How long did you
hang there:"
about ten minutes"
But did it take the train that long to
pass over your
"Oh, no."
"Then how was it,"
"Why, the train side tracked at the
other end, you see, and hung on until
one Of the brakesmen walked out to me
and said if l wasn't in the circus bust
ness to stay I'd better get out of that"
But don't exactly see."
ooh, there is nothing to see. / got off
the bridge all right. with three hours to
spare before another train came along.

mas this extraordinary woman been
awarded the intense fattery of imitation
by her sister women She has for years
been the cynosure of all eyes: the despair
of the graceless, the admiration of the
beautiful. She has shown women the
superiority of mere dress over mere
beauty. 1t is to her that fashion is in
| debted for the long wrinkled mousque-
taire gloves, the full plastrons of lace
and ribbon, the rufhed gabets and other
paraphernalia devised expressly with the
object of concealing angles that should
have been rounded curves All the
modes, in short, which by some strange
ly Illogical sequence have since become
apparently the exclusive property of the
genus fat woman sprang from the divine
Sara
AdeIna Patti, who makes the preser-
walton of her complexion as much life
study as the preservation of her voice,
has by afhxing her signature to sundry
skin beautiiers done more to assure
their sale and ready adoption by fash
ionable women than could have been
advertising.
When Mile. Aimee began her career in
this country the exquisite texture and
the artistic design of her silken stockings
became a topic of conversation every
where. Shops were ransacked, orders
were given. and eventually silk stockings
of the most extraordinary styles were
given boom such as, will venture to
say, they never had before, and possibly
may never have again. There is one
fashion in vogue which originated with
a successful actor, Mr.. Dixey. it was
he who introduced the buckled shoes
now worn by all our bellies, and having
done this, it seems to me, he is entitled
to share a portion of the honor formerly
enjoyed by the deceased Mr.. Montague,
the inventor of the famous "Montagu
curls."
Irecollect well the blonde craze in
spired years ago by Christine Nilsson.
The white skin and pale hair of the
Swedish singer turned the brains of half
the population. 1t was the day of the
blonde. She reigned supreme until the
auburn haired lady dethroned her. The
auburn haired lady rules still.
II is part Of an actress business to look
well. She must not only be dressed
to perfection, but she must have an ire
proachable complexion and a good fig
ure. Fancy Juliet with red nose or
pimples. Imagine Camille with badly
fitting corsets. Who would sympathize
with the woes of any stage heroine who
had mustache?
The actress. knowing all this, is par
ticularly careful to take care of herself.
She leads as regular life as she can
outside of her professional duties; she
battles and diets and conforms to the
laws of hygiene. Consequently she is
often younger and prettier than the so
ciety miss who keeps late hours and in
dulges in every sort of irregularity.
There is an art of living as well as an
art of dressing, and it must be conceded
that the actress, generally speaking,
understands both to perfection.

CHICAGoI Nov. 25.-To appreciate the
real danger with which the settlers of Da-
kota are threatened, Col. j. A. King, gov
eminent official who comes from The seat
of the.threatened war, says it is necessary
to come to Chicago. In talking of the mat
ter to-day he said: "Oh, yes; there are a
lot of soldiers there. suppose they might
as well be there as anywhere. But as far
as any need existing for their presence,
we'll, / don't see it. One would imagine, to
read the reports, that the noise made by
Indians sharpening their scalping knives
could be heard miles away, and that for a
mar not b%aldheaded to venture within the
redskins reach would be tantamount to
Disagreement for life. But the contrary is
true. Anyone car go right into their
midst, witness their ghost dance and come
away feeling much as if he had been to a
theater, and quite as free from molestation.
The Indians, when spoken to about their
threatened outbreak, laugh as you would
were you asked il you contemplated
threShing Sullivan"

OMAHA, Nov. 4.-Dispatches from Pine

antics. Little Wound is the only one now
out. He has deigned no reply since the
