A CASE OF LOVE.
DR.. Dinks' Diagnosis and Pre-
scribed Remedy a Sad Failure.

People said DR.. Drinks ought to mar
ry. He thought so himself, but hither-
to he had been too busy providing
means for keeping wife to bestow
much thought on whom she was to be.
lie had decided that the lady must
have good looks, good means and be o.
good position; but, though several
ladies in Jem:maville fulfilled all these
requirements, his choice had not vet
fallen on any one of them. And, be-
Sides, he was not in the least in love.
1t would be imprudent to venture the
assertion that DR.. Drinks had always
remained Indifferent to the pretty and
agreeable girls he had met in his wan
derings; and, being a fairly attractive
fellow, as well as Jemimavilles only
medical practitioner, it is safe to say
that eyes Of every hue ha;i looked upon
him with more or less favor Oh, no!
lie had had his intermittent love af-
fairs. There was Shady Scott, now.
He had loved her to distraction for two
months when she wore q particularly
sweet thing in bonnets; when the bon
net went out of fashion DR.. Dinks'
Polly Grey. His heart in this case
had capitulated to the peculiarly fas.
cinatng manner in which the fair
damsel hsped. He overheard her
speak to her brother once, and But
these and others were but the idle
dreamlets of a day, and DR.. Drinks
sighed for the genuine article that
wears well. He excused his seeming
Inconsistency on the plea that love is a
lottery. and if one wishes to win one
must at least play. So he accordingly
played battledore with the hearts of
the fair eligibles on his list of patients
and kept his eyes open and watched his
heart carefully, expecting to expe-
rience some day that sudden sense of
iapture-that magnificent thrill which,
as everybody knows, is the first and
true symptom of the proper and the
legitimate, and the all-suficing love
the love DR.. Drinks sighed for.
Its all a matter of pulsation,' the
doctor assured himself. IF you think
you're in love, feel your pulse. Cupid's
barometer is the thing to go by"
One afternoon about four o'clock Dr.
Drinks seated himself in his parlor and
passed his fingers thoughtfully through
his hair, which could not, even in
courtesy, be called auburn. He was
very weary waiting for that magnif-
cent thrill which he expected to ex-
perience some day, and he sighed pro-
foundry as he glanced round his rather
lugubrious parlor. How uncomfortable
and cherries it was, to lie sure; how
much it lacked the tender touches of a
woman's hand, the charm of a woman's
presence. And the little. low arm
chair by the hearth there-when would
it be filled by the sweet little form
the unknown but coming nobody
DR. Drinks loved to picture in it? How
very nice it sounded, to be sure! NV

Airs Resistance to a locomotive.

Experiments on the French railways
shows that the resistance of the at
mosphere to the motion of high-speed
trains amounts often to half the total
resistance. Two engines, of which the
resistance was measured separately
and found to be 1913 pounds per ton at
thirty-seven miles per hour, were
coupled together and again tried. The
resistance fell to 14.3 pounds per ton.
The second engine was masked by the
first. 1t may be argued from this that
by suitable adaptation of the front of
locomotive, electrical or otherwise,
saving of from to 10 per cent. OF the
effective power could be made.-,EIec-

About the hardest achievement is to

duties. Above all, don't chafe. You
will need all your vitality, perhaps,

A Passenger Train Becomes Derailed and

Persons Being Killed and Many Injured,
Two of Them Fatally
Four lives crushed out and thirty per-
sons mangled and manned was the fear
fhl result Of railroad wreck on the
Panhandle at Hagerstown, d little town
sixteen miles from Richmond, Ind. The
fast express train which runs between
Chicago and Cincinnati, while going at
high rate on the down grade before
reaching Hagerstown, was derailed by
portion of the framework of the engine
falling under the wheels Every car
was thrown off the track, but the fear
full momentum carried the train on. The
engineer applied the break and reversed
the lever, but all was unavall-
ing to check the onward rush. Right
ahead was q deep cut canal, which
was crossed by little bridge. The en-
gine clung to the roadbed, but the
swinging cars, forging to one side, miss
ed the crossing and plunged over the
embankment, into the fifteen-foot cut.
The heavy coaches and the sleeper were
piled up in heap, the struggling pas
sengers, crushed and bruised, being
caught in the wreck. Almost before q
hand had been lent TO help them. the
smoking car burst into flames, and it
seemed as If the horrors of fire were to
be added to the already dreadful cal
amity.
Soon the passengers who were not dis
abled struggled forth and these with the
trainmen set to work to take out the
dead and those of the wounded who were
unable to help themselves. BY stren-
uous efforts all were removed from the
shattered coaches before the flames had
gained sufficient headway to stop the
rescuers. Three of those in the sleeper
were taken out dead, and of the wound
ed one survived but for a few hours.
Two others of the wounded received
fatal hurts, while of the others at least
ten are badly injured. The cars were at
one time all off the track, but strangely
all did not go over the embankment

and the day coach and parlor car

which contained all the killed, breaking
