HIS STRONG RIGHT ARM.

An Engineer Saved a Child's Life by
Using His Muscle.
An imaginative gentleman relates
an experience which he had while
pulling q fast mail train over the
Rocky mountain division of the Union
Pacific. He was coming down through
canyon with heavy train behind
him. 1t had been raining heavily for
a long time, and the ground was soft
and sticky. The track was wet and
slippery, and the heavy train was
running at fearful speed. His en-
CINE was "doing the best to hold 'em
back" but it spite of his efforts he
began to fear that the train was going
to get away from him.
Just as he was wondering what he
could do to check the tremendous
speed of the train, he shot round a
curve, and there on the track, not a
hundred yards ahead Of him, was a
little girl asleep. To stop by ordinary
methods was absolutely impossible.
To 60 on was certain death to the
child. In the fraction of a second he
had formed his plan.
AS he says it, II shouted to Jim,
the fireman to choke her and give
her the grit and then slid out on
the running board and down on her
nose and jumped off. AS she came
by I grabbed hold of a spoke in the
driver and socked my heel in the
mud, and, if you'll believe it, l
stopped the train right there. Broke
my right arm in two places, though,
and knocked every blamed car in the
train clear off the track. But I saved
the child.n

what You Are Not Supposed to
Know.

Why man in his cups thinkea-
lamp post Is an orphan asylum.
That using harsh paper when
shaving takes the edge off a razor.
How some people get rich by
selling goods at 10 per cent less
than cost.
That often when a man says
"there is no place like home" he
isn't in it.
That frogs have better manners
than the people who croak the year
around.
That most Spring poetry is 30
tinctured with the smell of the
lamp that it rarely sees the day
light.
That when a man speaks of an
indefinite something he does not
refer to the head of the house.
Why some buttonholes in shirts
looked as though they had been
worked with a ten penny nail.
That wildcat enterprises do not
show their claws for the purpose Of
sharpening the wits Of the avari-
cious.

Tho Cold Bugs and Their Fears.

NO 1S'o ou6o . anu sUoH Voo'os
| Look ut the arguments of the
gold bugs-they have none their
arguments as they call them, con-
slst in prophecies and fears they
tell you if you coin silver, gold will
go out of the country they tell
you If you attempt to use gold on
an equality with silver, that every
thing and every body will go to ruin.
They try in otner words, TO scare
the people. They assume special
wisdom in money matters, and yet
no one banker out of a hundred
who is SO blatant against silver,
knows anything about money
matters, only how to discount their
paper and collect interest. OF the
science of money they know al
most nothing. TLey are IN the
habit of saying to their customers
that they will or will not discount
their paper, and that ls the end of
it, there ls no argument, hence it
is that you cannot get banker to
argue the silver question. Most of
them know that they do not under
stand it, but affect special wisdom
and they are afraid to argne
the case for fear they will expose
their ignorance. But the people
know that they have never yet had
money enough. They have com
mon sense enough to know that
silver is just as good money as gold
and that both are made SO by law,
that gold has no special advantage
IN that respect, or should have
none over silver. They know that
the gold bugs prophecies for the
past fifteen years, in regard TO sill
yer, have proven false, absolutely
false, and they 30 not propose to be
scared by them any further. They
know that when we began coming
the silver dollars in 1878 that there
were but 22S millions Of gold in the
United States and but 6S milhous
o silver, and that we now have
700 millions Of gold and 482 mil
lions OF silver, and yet the gold
bugs predicted then, as they do
now that il we attempted to coin
silver, all the gold would leave the
The people see how ut :
terly false the gold bug prophecies
have been, and that whatever pros
perity we have had come through
the soinage of silver. That old
John Sherman, predicted that the
country would never carry more
than so millions of silver by and
by he shifted his figures to rs mil
lions, then to 100 millions then
he sat down in silence for several
years, but now he is on his feet in
Senate again and Is delivering his
Did prophecies. Verify, these gold
Dugs are like the prophets of Baal,
whom an Elijah like Gen. Warner,
With his facts can annihllate by the
hundred. Now free coinage is
what the people want and what the
lie people are going to have and
IS the republican Congress is over
without giving it to them, the dem-
,cratic Congress which comes u ext
will pass free coinage bill, and

EPOCH

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such remarkable event is treas.
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise OF Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their res-
toration to health, to the use of the great
alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease Of kidneys. liver or

will surely find relief by use of Electric
