A Little Sunbeam.

Railroad engineers and hremeD, grimy ana taciturn, lead a more dangerous life than any soldier; but their occupation is prosaic, and few give them credit tor heroism or the gent Ter feelings which make up the romantic side of human nature. Yet in their existence there sometimes falls spark ot light, and ray of sunshine Eliminates the smoky cab. The overland train had arrived at Oakland Cal, and the great iron engine was thropplhg and pulling after the long sinuous trip over the mountain sides and the rocky defiles' lot- ty trestles and marshy stretches.
 The din in the depot was deatening; but out of the chaos of sounds q sweet, girlish yolce was heard welcoming home her parents, who had arrived on the train. She was a little gol- den haired beauty, scarcely seven years of age with a quick, intelligent eye and loving nature, to which she gave free vent in the ra- diant and impulsive way she welcomed her
 parents back. At last they took her by the
 hand and proce eded toward the waiting fer ry boat. As they passed by the engine attached to the train, the little one broke away, ran up to
 the big black machiue, and patted the driving
 wheels affectionately with her small white hands. Then, looking up at the smokestack' she said, "You good, big, old iron horse, you have brought back papa and mamma sate oV- CT the great mountains to thelf llttle glfl' anu | want to thank you, even if you don't care for me because I am so little.

THE PROS AND CONS.

The Sun says: Senator Warren did
not exert himself to secure the repeal OF
the presumption and timber culture acts.
He had not a word to say against it and
voted for it.
There are two aud possibly three
maximum land Offices 10 Colorado" A
dispatch from that state says there are
none; the Sun fails to name any. If
there are any now there will be none at
the beginning of the next fiscal year in
July, a fortunate run of circumstance
having helped them out like the Chey-
enne office.
1.-The new bill for increase of salaries
did not emanate from the source men
Register Champlin believing it a matter
of Justice to those whose pay nae been
reduced" This last clause proves the
truth OF The LEADERS assertions, for
if the land Office business has dropped off.
the land business must have dropped off
as we'll. The salary bill was introduced
by Senator Warren. 1t therefore eman-
ated from him to precisely the same ex-
tent as the arid bill will. The Sun says
Maj. Champlln prepared the one and THE
LEADER knows tina. State Engineer Mead
prepared the other. Alter helping to
kill the land office business, through
which the land Office officials with the ex-
ception of $500 salary earned their remu-
neration, it is Low proposed to pay them
81 200 a year in salary for keeping their
Offices open and doing next to no work.
This is Warren's method OF squaring him
self with the land officials at the expense
OF the general government.

Stricken with While Singing

Stricken with blindness hill Singing.
George Nicely, a Kensington boatman,
has been suddenly and mysteriously
stricken blind. His eyesight left him
Monday without warning and without
any painful confinement. he had begun
his usual work on a canal boat on the
Raritan canal, from New Brunswick.
He had walked a step or two on the boat,
singing merrily to himself, when sud
denly everything grew black. He could
not see objects half a foot distant. His
vision had completely failed him.
Cropping about the deck he tried to
communicate his afiiction to the other
deck hands. When his rue condition
was discovered he was tenderly taken
care of, and when the canal boatreached
this city he was conveyed to his home in
Kensington, and there attended to.
Still he grew no better. 1t was then de-
cided that the best place for him was a
hospital
His nephew accompanied him TO the
Philadelphia hospital. On arriving Their
he was examined and placed in the
ward, where he is resting quiet
ly, with his vision only slightly i'm
proved.-Philadelphia Record.

A. NJ. Phillips and Mile Burns, oil
Coleridge, Neb., had to visit three states
before they were married.
The couple first went to Harrington to
be united, but the bride was too young
to meet the requirements of the Ne
braska law. On Sunday they started
for Yankton, being assured that they
could meet with no obstacles. Arrived
at the Missouri river they found the
bridge had been washed out only al
hour before. 1t was night before they
finally found a boatman to take them tc
the South Dakota bank, where they
found themselves two miles above the
town in a willow thicket.
Late at night they reached town and
were Obliged to wait till morning before
calling on a justice of the peace. On
Monday they learned to their disgust
that the laws of South Dakota, although
more liberal than those of Nebraska,
did not sanction the marriage of one SO
young as the would be bride. They
were told to go to Iowa, which they did,
and there met with better success

The late Duke of Devonshire owned
land in fourteen different counties. The
estates extend t o 1913, 900 acres, and the
annual rental is something over e170,-
600. Much of the land in and about
Eastbourne was the property of the
duke, and, like that in the vicinity of
2srrow-ia-F1zEoS, las increased enor-
mously in value of late years.
The duke possessed no fewer than
seven seats, the cost of keeping up
which alone must have been consider
able. The duke had the patronage of
over forty church livings, the annual
total value of which exceeds e10. 900 per
annum.
The founder of the house was William
Cavendish, commonly supposed accord
ing to Mr.. Evans "Old Nobility'O to be
identical with that Cavendish who wrote
the Life of Wolsey," and who has been
immortalized by Shakespeare. The fifth
duke was the husband of the duchess
whose portrait was painted by Gainsbor-
ough, and about whom there is a story
similar to that of one of the duchesses of
Gordon of her kissing tradesmen to OBJ
tain votes. 1t was the sixth duke who
formed the famous gardens at Chats
worth. The family motto, Safe by
being cautious" applies, most people
will think, very fifty to the new duke

Two Indians from the La Pointe reser-
walton arrived in Bayfield, a few days
ago paralyzed with fear. They told a
wonderful story of adventure. They
had started on a hunt on Madeline island
and intended to visit some friends. They
camped on a spot about four miles from
the village. At midnight the Indians
were aroused by a fearful struggle. Be.
fore them were two men and q woman
battling, the contestants being covered
with blood.
The Indians say the forms disappeared
afterward, but the sounds and groani
were kept up all night. People in that
vicinity claim there has been a terrible
murder committed on the island SOME
time in the past, and that the GHOSTS
of the parties were seen by the Indians

Engineer Knowblow, of the Erie, has
finally agreed to preside at the throttle
of Engine No. $40 of that road. This is
the machine that passed through the
two terrible wrecks on hat road at Ra-
VIENNA on July 8 and at Kent, Sept. 80.
When it came out of the Meadville shops
recently none of the boys wanted to sit
at the right hand side of the cab in the
unlucky engine, and it was only after
considerable persuasion that Engineer
Knowblow was persuaded to take charge
of the hooded locomotive. Railroaders
are like sailors, they have their super
stitions, and an engineman no more
likes to run on an unlucky machine than
does an old tar to sail on certain unfor-
tunate vessels.-Pittsburg Post.

A strange story ONE from q neigh
borhood about ten miles southeast of
here.
Oct. "a, 1890, Alex Yohe, an aged
farmer, committed suicide. Yohe's
mind had been unbalanced for some
time, and he imagined that the discov-
e-y of natural gas would prove the ruin
alton of the world. He was opposed to
any search for the new fuel, and often
pleaded with his neighbors to leave it
alone. BE also imagined that he was a
ruined man, although he owned a good
farm and was in a prosperous condition.
He thought his family had been doomed
to starvation, and he resolved to take
his life, thus terminating his misery.
Recently an Elwood company began
drilling for gas on the Starkey farm and
the work had proceeded nearly to COM
pletion. They were rushing the work
and a day aud night force Of hands were
employed. The night force, however, is
no longer at work and the following is
the cause: A few nights since, while the
men were at work, they were startled
by a slight noise near the derrick, and
on looking around they beheld the form
of old man Yohe walking from the en-
CINE to the derrick. One man approached
him and the form suddenly vanished,
only to reapper1h a few moments.
This sort of thing was kept up for sew
eral nights, the old man making his. ap-
pearance at the same spot each night.
The men claimed the place was haunted
and they refused to work any more after
night.-Tipton Cor. Indianapolis Senti-
mel.

When a Chinese highlander, named
Wong Chez, who had been arrested for
vagrancy, was stripped in the city prison
recently, a coat of mail was found around
his body. 1t vas a tight fitting armor,
made of a double thickness of interviewer
steel links, and it weighed twenty-five
pounds. Experts say that no pistol bullet
ever made would penetrate the armor,
and when tested the links turned a rife
ball from its course.-San Francisco Elk,

Exporting Live Geese from Russia.

Live geese are exported from Russia
to Germany and Austria in very large
numbers. An export house of Warsaw
intends building special cars for the
transportation of geese directly to their
places of destination, If the railroad
managers will grant them permission to
run the cars. The ministry on roads Of
INSTRUMENTATION was notified of the
proposal of that firm, and its favorable
decision is expected. The cars are to be
constructed with appliances to change
from the broad gauge of the Russian
lines to the narrow gauge of the German
lines without loss of time.-St. Peters
