 Engine Once Wrecked.
 five sat in cab for twenty-five years, said another veteran of t6e throttle "You'll never catch me taking out an engine that has once been in a wreck. Some engines are unlucky and others ain't, and Idon't take any chances. You may say what you've a mind to, but I believe in signs and I'll always swear by them. When 1 was young man l used to run on the Nypano, and 1 got quite a reputation as a reckless runner. The road had been troubled that spring with washouts and en- gineers had been cautioned to run carefully over dangerous sections. We'll, l never paid much attention to these directions, and used to smash my train through on time no matter how bad the track was.
 ''I was going down grade one night with heavy train and lot of through passengers for New York, and was making good time when all of a sudden saw blue light that seemed to swing just ahead of the pilot. The light kept bobbing in front of me for nearly mile, but I was ashamed to say anything to the fireman about it. Finally l got so nervous that l pulled up the train and told the fireman that l thought the side bar was loose.
 "I climbed out of the cab, but the minute that we stopped the blue light disappeared. l thought I'd take a little run down the track, however, and just a few rods ahead l found big culvert washed clean out. Of course we had to lay over until it was fixed, and 1 got lots of praise for saving bad wreck, but it was all owing to that blue light. "- Rochester Democrat Chronicle.

A LEAP YEAR ROMANCE.

Harold" she said tenderly, as she took his shrinking hand in hers and looked into his lustrous eyes, "may l tell you something9" "I presume, Miss Smith, you may" he responded nervously. May I tell you what is on my heart'" she pleaded. "What there is beating and pulsing there for ex- pression9"
 "I shall listen; go on," he said with cold austerity. "Oh, Harold" she cried, "you are cruel. You know that I have loved you for four long and weary years"
 He shrugged his shapely should CTS, but did not speak. "And now, you will not listen to me, ;" she implored. 'I am listening" he said shortly. But not with your heart, Harold, not with your heart,' she agonized. "What would you have me do, Miss Smith'" he asked kindly. "'Be mine, be mine," she walled. Your husband7" he interrogated with start. "Yes, Harold, yes. My husband :; my own; my loved one; mine al ways, and she threw herself at his feet.
 "This is folly, Miss Smith, abso- lute folly" he urged, rising and standing over her. We have al ways been friends. Why cannot we remain soi 1 can never be more than brother to you. I-" But she did not permit him to go on. With a smothered scream she rushed from the room and as Harold Hossington heard her wildly putting on her overshoes in the hall and impulsively grabbing her hat and wraps from the rack, he picked up a rosebud she had dropped and sighed heavily.
 This was Harold's first Detroit Free Press.

New York Democrats.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The mem bers of the Democratic state com mittse were asked yesterday what they thought of the Cooper Union protest against a mid-winter conven- tion and whether they felt like changing the date. Some of the committeeman frankly said they would not vote to postpone the meeting of the convention. Others seemed inclined to think about the subject. Richard Croker said: "No, 1 do not favor changing the date of the convention. l think the time set Is as good as any other time, in fact little better, because the farmers have nothing to do now, and they can attend any conven- tion. ;"
 Chairman Edward Murphy, Jr., of the Democratic State Committee, said: ",rhe convention will meet at the same time and place desig- mated, and will transact the business for which it is called. The gentle men who participated in the pro- ceedings of the convention will cer- tainly support the nominees of the convention that meets in Chicago, June 21."

Eviction of Lot Jumpers.

FL RENO, o. T., Feb. l2.-Ex- citement over town lots has almost subsided. At the request of Gov ernor Seay, Judge Clark, of Okla homa City, came to El Reno and or dered the so-called lot jumpers evicted. Under this order United States marshals are removing inn provements made by the settlers in vacant lots, but under instructions of Marshal Grimes, are preserving an accurate record of all improve ments, as an act of justice to the settlers, as nine-tenths of the citi- zens are in category lot jumpers.

A Bell in the Treasury Department Which
 Has Never Been Used.
 In the office of the captain of the watch at the treasury department is a large gong connected with series of wires.
 That bell has never been rung, save when 1t is tested to see if it is in working order, and the officials trust that 1t never will be sounded. When 1t does, business of the most serious kind Is meant.
 At some time or other some crank or cranks might get into the cash room or banking office of the treas ury, and by the bold use of arms at tempt to make raid
 This gong is connected with the cash room by number of wires, and the pressure of a button at con venient places will sound the alarm. The watchmen have orders when that rings to drop all other work and come to the cash room thoroughly armed and ready to deal with what ever may present itself. Washing ton Post.

FARGO, N. D., Feb. 12.-Col. Charles A. Morton, one of the most extensive farmers of the state, has telegraphed Senator Davis thus; "I had in cultivation last year over 60,000 acres of wheat. 1 regard the anti-option bill ruinous to every interest the farmer has.

A Good One on the Editor.

There is story told of veteran night editor who, for some reason, had a couple of nights off. For years he had reached his home about 6 o'clock in the morning, slept until late in the afternoon, and been obliged to rush off to his work. His children naturally saw but little of him. On this occasion he found 1t necessary to correct his youngest daughter for some fragrant breach of discipline. The child rushed to her mother, flushed with indignation:
 Mamma" she exclaimed, "that man wiv whiskers that sleeps here daytimes banked me. "-Drake's s Magazine.

A WIPES TRICK.

 Grave Charges.


 SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Feb. 12.- The divorce case of Mrs. Charlotte Nichol Minton versus J. McKint Minton, of Flushing, l.. l., on the charge of non-support, cruelty, habitual drunkenness and adultery, will probably be tried at Parker to- day.
 The defendant is one of the ed itors of The Illustrated American. When Mrs. Minton came to Sioux Falls, 1t is said, she played a very smart game upon her husband.

Reaching the resort she purchased hundred postal cards, addressed them to him and wrote apT ropriate messages, dated them, secured some one to mail them for her from day to day, then left for Sioux Falls, her husband getting postals regularly from the watering place, when she was spend ing a ninety days residence in Sioux Falls.

Badly Decomposed Remains of a Man Dis
 covered in Water standpipe.
 TOPEKA, Feb. 11.-For some time people have been complaining of water furnished by the local water company. Finally it became so bad that no one would use it. On Tuesday night the pumps stopped, and yesterday workman entered the standpipe to clean it. To his horror he discov- cred the badly decomposed remains of man, which evidently has been there for weeks. They were unrecognizable, and the clothing contained no means of identification. The man had evi- dently climbed the pipe and cast himself in. No one in the village or country is missing, so the coro- ner decided that 1t must be some person who was passing through, seeking work, as his clothes indi- cated he was laboring man.

A Musical We'll.

At Tacoma, Wash, is a we'll. The well is about 400 feet deep and furnishes good water. It also fur nishes from some mysterious source constant blast of air or gas. One day, not long ago, the owner col leeted all the musical instruments he could-amounting to eight--from his neighbors and friends. He bored holes in the boards covering the well, and at one aperture placed a cornet, at another bass horn, at another a clarionet, then a fife, an immense tin horn about three yards long which he had made, mouth organ and other instruments, up to the number mentioned. One after another they began to blow as he put them in. The hoarse growl of the bass horn mingled with the clarion notes of the eornet and clar- ionet, etc. When all were going the din was terrible, and there did not seem to be good note sounded. The wind does not come up from the well in a steady blow, but in gusts of more or less force.-New Orleans Picayune.
