Before the ecLOe of the guns had died

NOT LOST, BUT GONE BEFORE

The Boston and Ohio limited was just
beginning to move out of the station the
other day, when lame man in stove
pipe hat and furious haste came skip
ping frantically along over the neighbor-
ing tracks, followed by man carrying
valises.
He had come into the station by side
entrance, and his short cut across the
tracks was necessitated by his anxiety to
catch the train. But when he reached
the platform and could have got aboard
he stopped and looked fiercely back past
the gates and yelled despairingly:
"Addie! Come on, Addict"
But no Addie came. And the tain
glided by and out toward the south.
The lame mans face was a picture
that would have delighted DOre's heart.
He ground his teeth and flashed his
eyes. His lame foot beat tarantelle on
the platform. And every few seconds
he shrieked ooh Addie!" in frantic
hoarseneSs
When you come to think it over, it is
rather annoying to just catch train
yourself and have to let it 60 by because
yOur wife has missed it.
BY this time the little group of people
who had been seeing passengers off were
taking great interest in the thing. The
railway officials had signaled the train to
wait, and it was coming to stop just
outside the grand entrance of the station.
Then, while the lame man shrieked,
and the people behind the gates looked
around to wonder which one of them he
meant when he yelled Addict" in that
insane way, railroad man rushed
through the gates on to the platform and
yelled:
"YOur wife's on the trainr'
The lame man gasped. Then he said
only this and nothing more:
"The - she isr' and limped off to
the train, while every one on the plat
form went into commissions.
Again, when you come to think of it,
when you have made an imbecIle exhibit
ton of yourself because you thought
your wife had missed, and made you
miss, the train, and then find that she
has been on hand ahead of you'll say,
when you think of it, could that poor
lame man have said anything more APP

POISONED BY SMOKE.

George Hopping, wealthy farmer,
near Happing Station, in Monmouth
county, owns tract of land that extends
from his house southwark about as far
as the eye can see. At certain point it
ends in swamp. 1t is dark, wild, black
bottom land, and in many places a per-
son would sink into it up to his knees.
Decaying vegetation and stagn mt waters
often gave out stencil, and many per-
sons seeing the rank growths of fungus
and unusual forms of vegetation said
that poisonous vapors were exhaled from
the swamp. The boys use to talk about
'poison trees" that they said grew there.
Mr.. Hopping, had no faith in the popular
superstition, IN ade up his mind that
when the frost came he would have the
swap cleared so that he could cultivate
the land.
Three weeks ago one of his hired men
began to cut down the trees in the
swamp. He cut them into short logs,
which he carried to the barn and sawed
into firewood. He found one particular
kind of tree that was very disagreeable
to handle. 1t grew to the size of an or
binary sapling, and WHEEL the bark was
peeled from it a thick black gum oozed
out. Two weeks ago Mr.. Hopping took
piece of this wood into the kitchen and
handed it to his wife.
Just burn that when you get a
chance" he said. II want to see what
kind of firewood it makes"
Mrs. Hopping threw the wood into the
stove, where there was good fire.
When it touched the flames there was a
quick, putting sound, and a cloud of
smoke flew into Mrs. HOpping's face.
She jumped back with her hands to her
eyes, gasping her breath.
"Oh, what horrid smoke that is !" she
exclaimed.
Mr. Hopping saw that the wood burned
well and went out. Three days later
Mrs. Hopping, who had remained about
the stove after her husband left the
house, complained of an itching sensa-
ton all over her body, and rash broke
out in her face, breast and feet. The
next day she became feverish and a
physician was summoned. He pronOun-
ced it to be a case of blood poisoning,
and said it looked as if it might be from
poison ivy. This put Mr.. Hopping in
mind of the wood he had burned, and he
showed the doctor piece of it.
"That's poison sumach," the physicien
declared. HAS she inhaled the smoke
of that"
The husband told him about his ex-
pertinent, and the physician told him
that the smoke of burning lOwland
sumach was more poisonous than it's
touch. Mrs. Hopping was seriously sick
for two weeks. Yesterday she was still
confined to her bed, though slowly i'm

Few people realize the cost of stop

Flew people realize the cost of stop
ping train" said railroad man the
other day. Each stop of a minute
costs the company an actual outlay of
between three and four dollars besides
the extra strain on the machinery in start
ing up again. Every one has noticed
the painful effort of horses in starting a
heavily laden street car or omnibus; it
is just so with machinery-the stopping
makes the hardest work, not the continu-
Gus going. This Is the reason too why
it is injurious to watch to let it run
down"
