Blockades are frequent on the bridge,
but they are seldom created by man
stopping to pick up a pin, says the
New York Herald. That, however,
was the case the other day. The Of
fender was a fat man.
It was during the rush" hours, and
the heavyweight, with a friend, was
struggling toward Brooklyn. They
reached the platform intact, although
perspiring and almost breathless. Sud
denly the fat man brought the thons,
ands of people behind him TO an abrupt
pause by slowly STOPPING and picking
This he thrust int the lapel of his
coat. Then the blockade, which had
lasted for about ten seconds, was
raised.
~What on earth made you stop to
pick up that pin ?" asked the fat fell
lows friend
Il couldn't help it, he replied; sits
second nature to me. Although I am
not superstitious, I never gave a pin
the go-by. No, I bar hairpins"

to pick up pins for luck when I was
younger, but after had been married

What brought it about? Oh, I see,
you're a bachelor and can't possibly
have any idea of the number of pins,
safety clasps and hair spikes a woman
can lose around the house in the
course of the day. Why, if I'd kept on

have become hunchback. You'll have

No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but son call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DIR. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If SO, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist SO cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

On q RunaMav Car.

An iron manufacturer of Pittsburg
had thrilling experience on the Penn
sylvania Railroad few days since, that
SO far has not found its way into print
He had engaged ten sections in a sleeper
at Philadelphia for himself and family,
but by some mistake the first section of
the train, to which the party belonged,
pulled out of the Philadelphia depot
before the family arrived. There was
husthng for few minutes and another
sleeper was found and put into the
second section, and, as there was no
time for proper makeup. the sleeper
was placed next to the tender of the
locomotive. All went well enough until
the train had come some distance down
the western slope of the mountain,
when the manufacturer happened to
notice that the car was running at a
terrific rate of speed. Turning TO look
for the locomotive he was horror stricken
to see it scudding away like the wind,
trying to keep out of the way of the
train, and the engineer making frantic
motions for something to be done.
The passenger seized the brake
wheel and was further Mortified to find
engineer, seeing that the passenger had
sense enough left to act, slowed the
locomotive until the flying train came
within ear shot, and called to the iron
maker to run into the lavatory and turn
the valve on the air brake. He obeyed,
but found the door locked and some
one inside who refused to open the
door. There was no time for explana-
ton, so he kicked the door in and
caught the valve just as the irate occu-
pant was getting in good fighting trim.
The latter then comprehended the sit
uation and gave over his beligerent
demonstrations. The speed of the train
was slackened sufficiently to allow it to
connect with the locomotive, and re-
pairs were made. The trouble was
that the coupling had pulled out of the
sleeper PittsblLT-1 DISPATCH.

THE OLD HOME.

The trout swims as Of yore,
Or, with a CLINT, beneath the rocks

from the official reports the .sRoyaP'
seems to be the only one yet found by
chemical analysis to be entirely with
out one or the other of these sub

is shown, results from the exclusive
use by it's manufacturers of cream of
tartar specially refined and prepared
by patent processes which totally re-
move the tartrate Of lime and other1m-
purlties. The cost of this chemically
pure cream of tartar is much greater
than any other, and it is used In no
baking powder except the "Rova1.'

patents under which it is refined.

Prof Loves tests, and the recent

Royal Baking Powder to be superior to
all others in strength and leavening
power. 1t is not only the most eco
nomical in use, but makes the purest,
