Victoria's Coachman and Horses.

Chicago News.
the service of the royal family of
England. He was in the employ OF
William w., and when Victoria as
cended the throne he was selected as
the safest and most skilful man to
drive her coach when the young
Queen appeared in public. So for
titty-twO years Payne has been the
Queens coachman in London, and it
is said that the Queen is sincerely
distressed because the intirmities
of age necessitate this faithful
servants retirement from active duty.
For more than sixty years Payne was
an attache of the royal household.
He has been provided for handsomely
and permission Is given him to go
and come whenever he pleases. Every
morning the old gentleman makes his
appearance at the royal news, takes
a good, long look at the coaches and
carriages he has driven so many times,
prowls around among the old haunts,
and discourses sagely with the host
lers and grOoms. The old fellow
seems to think that he has propri-
etary interest in the news, and Or
ders have been given that he shall
be humored so far as possible in his
cOnceits and whims.
The eight horses which are attach
ed to the royal coach used upon state
occasions are Of the famous Hanove-
rian breed-big stalwart creams, with
CHASTITY wall eyes: most folks pro.
nOunce them splendid specimens of
equine beauty, but 1 do not fancy
them at all. These horses are still
bred in Hanover, and the severest
pains are taken to keep the stock
pure. If at birth the colt is not pure
cream, or if, subsequently,, it develops
some defect, it is killed. In this way
none but sound and distinct-cOlOred
horses are TO be met with in this pc
culiar cOlOTed brand.

CROSSING THE RIVER.
a Pathetic Little Story Based on
Railroad Accident.
Ben Went to Sleep First, but His Faithful
Rachel Followed Him Quickly-Both
Were Ready to Meet Their Maker
and to Receive Their Reward.

Engineer Dimmick, # the Chicago ex-
press, said he had been in nervous dread
of an accident from the moment he
pulled out Of the Lake Shore depot in
Chicago, writes William H. Maher in
the Toledo Blade. This had made him
unusually careful, but as he reached
Sherman's crossing little behind time
he began to lose his fear. He opened
the throttle of old 80, intending to gain a
few minutes in the remaining eight
miles between there and Toledo. He
started to signal for the crossing just
this side of the trees when, horror! he
saw farmer driving furiously toward it
as If to cross ahead Of the train.
1t was suicide!
Dimmick sent out heart-breaking sig
nal to the brakeman, reversed the en-
CINE, put on air-brakes, knowing all the
time the train could not be stopped this
side, of the crossing, and then shut his
eyes and prayed.
When the engine stopped part Of the
wagon was on the headlight, the horses
were distributed along the track and
two old people were lying near the
fence.
Dimmick was the first to reach them.

ton. The man was undoubtedly fatally
hurt; the woman probably so.
They were tenderly carried to Mr..
Richards house near by, and the ply
sicians were told that if they would stay
found locomotive would be sent back
for them in an hour. They agreed to
stay. The bell rang; travellers hurried
to their places; some with white faces
at the thought that it might have been
themselves; others full of the impor--
lance participation in the event would
give them and their story, and others,
forgetting themselves, thinking only of
the sorrow brought to others.
Mr.. Richards placed his house at the.
command of the physicians. Stimulants
were administered, and when the fami-
ly doctor and the children Of the suffer-
ers had arrived the father was moan

you mustn't think Of it, mother.
You are very badly hurt yourself. You
must be very quiet.
