MRS. SAMUELS' PASS.
Why the James Boys Never Robbed a Han
nibal & st. Joe Train.

Denver News: During the reign of the
James boys in Missouri it was observed
that the train of the Hannibal 4 St
Joe were never molested by the james
boys or their banditti. Trains on
every other road near kearney or
Kansas City were periodically robbed.
The It Joe road seemed to be inva-
riably protected from their visits. 1t
was all due to an annual pass. One
day while in the office of the general
superintendent at Hannibal, News
report tersaw list OF persons to whom
annual passes were issued. Among the
number was the name of Mrs sam
uels, oi kearney, Mo. This station
l. "A primitive settlement OF HOUSES
that resemble match boxes, white
washed. The place i, known in his
tory. however, a. the home of Jesse
ami Frank James, the famous out laws.
"llow'S that was asked oi thc
superintendent in at oni-hmcnt. when
1t was recalled that Mrs Samurl- was
none other than the one-armed step
mother of the noted train robbers.
"MN dear boy. responded the rail
way official, with suaVe smile aud
an eNuberant twirl OF his massive
watch chain, "that annual pass saves
the II. Joe road thousands of dollars.
and our trains. as You know. are
never molested 10y the james boys
We have carried her for years and will
continue to do 81 as long a. We turn a
wheel. she has the only life pass on
the road.
Not long after wards, when Frank
James was pardoned, and walked
around Kansas city In the last Stages
of consumption, he was asked about
the little incident, and responded feel
ingly:
We never boarded Il. joe train
/ Just on that account. The kindness
shown our crippled mother, and the
refusal of the road to run specia
train of Pinkerton men to surprise H.
[ touched the hearts OF both Jesse ano
myself. That j. why We never both

MEN OF MIGHTY MUSCLE.
A Man Who Juggies with $50 Pound Dumb
Bells and Another Who Lifts l,442
Pounds with HIS Hands Alone.
New York Sun.1

OF all the strong men living the sup
posed king OF them all is now perform
ing at the Aquarium in London.
Eugene Sandow is the name OF this
wonder, and if he has really done all
he claims his name will 90 up on
Fame's siGn-post alongside that of
Samson. Saudow IL 2:j years of age,
was born at konigsberg, and has been
an athlete since he was able to walk.
When entering a competition he usu-
ally weighs between 200 and 2O5
pounds. Recently he accepted the
challenge OF Samson, the strong
man." and his pupil, who are giving
exhibitions OF strength in London.
The way in which Sandow played with
the 13O-pound weights, snapped steel
chains. broke heavy iron strips and
bars, and broke chain bracelets like
so many pieces OF twine, made the
Modern Samson" stand agha-t.
His chest measurement is 4jl inches
and his biceps 81 inches, but during
a trial the biceps enlarge inches or
more.
America has some strong men, too,
who can hold their own against most
fOllltfS. Ofti1lOSI among them Is
Louis Cyr. Canada's Hercules, who
has record which has hardly been
approached. Cyr's height is , feet lOl.
inches. he is 26 years OF age and he
weighs 323 pounds. one of his feats
il to put up IA dumb-bell weighing 2i5
pounds from the platform to the
shoulder and from there up with one
hand. He also claims that in March.
| $50. he lifted a platform on which
were Il number of men, several dumb
bells and Il barrel of flour, the whole
weighing 2,31s pounds. lie also
claims to have lifted $500 pounds OF
pig iron.
Among the strong men in America
who are likely to meet and compete
