F. w. Trout Has Leg Broken. Trains
on Time.
Another accident occurred on the B.
& o. at Sir Johns Run this morning.
Five freight trains had orders to leave
Water Station No. IL, and run ahead
of No. 4, and take the siding at Sir
Johns Run. When it was found that
the siding would not hold all the trains,
the front man ran out on the main
track, in order to leave the rear train
in the siding, when No. 4 came along.
For some reason or other the trainmen
of the freights failed to warn the ex-
press and before it could be stopped,
sidewiped the freight. Engine-man
F. w. Trout was caught in the wreck
and had leg broken in two places
and received few slight bruises. Con-
siderable damage was done to the
rolling stock.

The Reason why.

The day had passed in happy play
And twilight comes anon,
And fretfulness asserts her sway
When sunlit hours are gone,
And mother lays her work away
And holds out her arms for one
Her baby boy, who always found
Within that sheltering nest,
When childish troubles most abound,
A refuge and rest.
He does not come, although his eyes
His willingness confessed.
Come. darling!" Mothers cooling tone
Woos softly, but in vain.
"I've lost my baby" does she moan
In simulated pain.
mo, no, mamma, but have grown
And won't be small again"
"But yesterday" his mamma said,
"Jpon my lap you sat;
We read of 'Toddlekins' and Fred
And the 'Boofer pussy cat:'
OF Baby Bunting's ways we read
And the mischief he was at"
The little head dropped very low
And rested on my knee;
And a little voice spoke soft and slow,
In confidential key:
"But yesterday, mamma, you know,
l wasn't in pants, you see."

conversation ensued between them later

II say, Arthur, what was that chaps

''Ah, that's Wilcox Riley-he's quite a

Qualified Affection.

Genuine sorrow is sometimes expressed
so strangely that the listener finds it hard
not to smile. A case in point is mentioned
by a Clergyman.
While passing a summer vacation in a
thinly settled portion of Maine, he was
called upon to officiate at the funeral Of
farmer, who had died leaving widow
with whom he had lived In wedlock for
nearly half a century.
After the service the widow came to the
side of the coffin for last look at the face
of the departed, and as she stood there she
heaved deep sigh, and turned to the
clergyman to say. with perfect simplicity;
wal, / ruther liked him."-Youth's

NIarguerites.

When Reginald with Marguerite
One morning through the meadow
strolled,
He found blossom at her feet,
With petals white and heart Of gold.
Within her hand the bloom he laid.
And said, "'Tis yours, what is it sweets
Then, laughingly, replied the maid,
MY daisy is a marguerite"
Then Reginald to Marguerite
A sweet, old fashioned story told;
And all his fortune, at her feet,
He offered for her heart of gold.
The maiden promised him to wed,
Then. in half roguish praise, he
From face to flower glanced, and said,
MY Marguerite's a daisy"

NO BUSINESS THERE

New York Press.
The question of residence is essential
in American elections. Without resi-
dence there can be no representation.
In England or France anybody can run
for Office anywhere, and sometimes a
candidate is elected in three or four
places at once. That is not the American
way. Local self government and local
representation are fundamental in our
institutions, and it is part of the COM
pensation for living in places remote
from the centers of wealth and luxury
that political honors and emoluments,
such as they are, are confined to the
actual residents.
When Mr.. Brice came to New York
from Ohio he exchanged the limited op-
portunities of Western community for
the almost unlimited opportunities and
attractions of the leading city of the
continent. He has profited by the ex-
change and grown wealthy. He has en-
joyed the social and other attractions of
New Y ork. He has becomea New Yorker
in all that the term implies. Fairness
forbids that he should be permitted to
seize from the residents of Ohio the most
desirable political prize in the gift of a
State.
However, the issue is not one of fair
ness or of politics, but of American law
and fundamental American principle.
If Mr.. Brice was a resident of New
York when elected Senator from Ohio,
then he has no business in the Senate.
