Two Miles a Minute.

A runaway railroad train on the
branch Of the coast division from
Aptos up to the Iona Prieta lumber
mills created Il sensation along the
line OF the road Sept. 13. Eight
empty cars broke loose from the
engine ut Monte Vista, about eight
miles north of Aptos. The road
from Monte Vista to Aptos is u
heavy down grade the entire dis
tance, and the cars, soon after start
ing, affirmed IL tremendous rats of
speed. and pnsscd through Iona
Prieta at mile a minute.
The flying cars kept ON the track
until they had gone the entire eight
miles to Aptos. Here four of the
cars turned on to the Min track
without damage, two running us far
us the high bridge mt the west end Of
Aptos, and the other two stopping
near the station. The other Jour
cars dashed off the track and were
smashed into bits.
the kept on tho track
for eight miles mt such IL speed over
a curving mountain road il wonder
full. No one wns on the train at
the time it started, and no one
was injured, the only loss being the
four wrecked cars. Railroad men
claim the train made the eight miles
in four minutes.
The down passenger train from
Santa Cruz, bound for san Francis.
co, had u hairbreath escape from de-
struction. The passenger train had
passed the place where the runaway
came into the main line hut q minute
and n half previously, One of the
wrecked cars struck ~ cypress tree
forty feet high and n foot aud n half
in diameter and laid it fat almost
tearing it from the ground.-Cor.

He Got Enough 20 Eat.

In one of the lea,lirs,llotcls n few
days ago one of those laundering ill.,
dependent farmers was the star fig
ure III very amusing incident. He
came in and sat down ut IL table
where was breakinsting and began
studying the bill of fare. The printed
list of catntlcs confused him not q
lite, but he made Il bold bluff ut
the waiter and then leaned back in
his chair satisfied that he would
soon have IL good breakfast. But he
drew IL blank. He had made Il bad
choice from the bill of fare and did
not get enough to keep IL squirrel
IRON starving. He put tout otsight
in II iiily. lie was still hungry and
began to figure on some way to get
another deal. He examined the card
tor few moments and then hogan
trying to catch IL waiter. But they
all were busy and did not notice tile
furnished tillcr OF the soil.
He tapped with his knife on lis
plate, CHILLED "hey, thcre!' and tried
to pluck their sleeves. 1t was no go,
and his efforts remained UNDECIDED.
Finally, driven to desperation, he
put his two thumbs in his mouth
and whistlcd. Such ~ whistle, too!
1t could lave cen heard mile.
The walters jumped us ii they had
been shot, and tw.' nervous Indies
screamed n little. The solemn head
waiter and two or three of his MINI
bic assistants ran to the old man,
who calmly said: II wish you would
pass the victuals again. didn't get
enough lie soon had enough
around him, and the head waiter
kept an eye on him to see that tie
supply remained good.-Exchango.

two weeks before the date of tho
hanging party of st. Louis people
came that way. Among them was
lone female about so years of age,
who was greatly concerned about
the salvation OF the Indian race
When she learned that Hickett was to

some tracts, and n day later came
to me and said:
1t has struck me TINT l would like

you he kind enough to hand him

j, OF course, agreed to do SO. 1t
was a very fine album, costing not
less than $40 or $12, and every
page was still blank. passed it in

wanted. He called for me in about

when she reappeared there was a

Some correspondence then pissed

Kate continued to improve, and

We had sufficiently revealed our

We had assured him that we would

of His friends there: Also, that if he
wanted to resign we would arrange
that, and there should he no diff

The night of the supper arrived
and all the guests arrived but those
from the East. All snt down to tile

In the midst of the jollity hurried
footsteps were heard, and Capt. Sim.

old Captain.
Charlie stared for one moment,
then with n glad cry OF "AIy wife! my

rushed from the table and he and
Kit met in II long, rapturous en-

Then followed mutual greetings
and introductions. and all suit down

young man with confusion in a mock
heroic eulogy, to which Charlie replied
very feelingly and with tears in his

gay company broke up. the heart OF

tain sounds as other sponges do
liquors. So that when they wish to
ask somethingor confer at distance
they speak into one of the sponges
and send it to their friends, WHO,
having received it, press it gently

A Fine Tree.

Thegrandest sycamore tree in New
England, perhaps, is at Newton, in
Connecticut. 1t is 50 feet high, 81
feet in circumference and the crown
casts a shade 100 feet in diameter.
The foliage is so dense it is ilnpossi.
BILE to discern n ray of light falling
through it, and twilight reigns al
the summer beneath it. The leaves
are 5 inches long, about 4 inches
wide and are of a beautiful glossy
hue. When the wind rustles the
leaves the sound they make is like
that of falling rain. The blossoms
are large and like silk floss, and fall
ing cover the ground inches deep
with an elastic role that is like Il
wonderful snow white silken carpet.
The giant tree liz n lnndn.., ark in all
the region, and is visible to u person
on the hilltops miles away, Il vast
dark pillar overlapping all other
trees.-Cor. New York Sun.
