Queer Fits in Sickness.

The moral effect of illness upon some
people is very curious. A prominent
physician said recently that he has
among his patients preacher who
swears when he is sick and gambler
who prays. A successful and we'll
known business man will not go to his
bed when illness attacks him because
Of morbid fear that he will never rise
from it again. A lady has all her
jewelry and fine dresses laid on the foot
of her bed, to keep her mind from ter
rifying thoughts. A hupdred other Pc
culiarities are developed, but the most
remarkable one to the doctor in ques-
ton was that of professional man
who reads up in current literature
when he is really seriously i'll, because
he '!hasn't time to do it when he's well. {"

OILING A HIGH WAYMAN.

There used to be and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division Of the
Santa Fe railway an engineer known
as Big Jack Long" One night Jack
was alone at his engine, oiling up the
machine, while the rest of his crew,
like the passengers were at supper IN
the dingy eating house. The tran
was a long one, and the engine was
we'll away from the little cluster Of
buildings. Suddenly "Throw up your
handr' was growled at him, and Jack
found himself looking into gun in
the hands of hard looking citizen.
The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that
he had but a liar in his pockets, and
that to take that were a cruelty, since
it was meant to pay for his supper.
Yes, the marauder was determined to
have the sack, even if it had but a
single dollar. During the discussion
Jack slipped his hand from bulb 10
nozzle Of the long machinist's oileT
and edged around the head of the 10
comotive, finally backing across the
track, closely followed by the tempor-
izing holder up.
When the man was so well into the
glare OF the headlight as to guide
Jacks address, this worthy promptly
laid over his head with the heavy
oiler for bludgeon, and when the
victims yells hal drawn forth the

ONLY A CABIN BOY.

A big battle was being fought be
tween the English and Dutch navies.
Sir John Marlborough was the Eng
lish admiral, and the masts of. his
ship had been shot away almost dl-
rectly when the fighting began. In
spite of the greatest care and the most
splendid bravery Sir John saw that
the English sailors must be beaten
unless he could get help. There We're
few ships some distance off to the
right, but they We're to act as re
serve, and would not enter into the
battle without message from HIM.
Sir John stood n moment and won
dered how the message could be sent
1t was not possible to signal there was
only one way the message must be
carried.
Sir John wrote his order, telling
the reserve to come and help him at
once then he called aloud for anyone
who was wiling to be the messenger.
Think OF the scene moment, and
then you will understand what brave
heart was needed to carry that note
DtiON WIS llit std, ttpCfo. dioCAi'I- a.
it. there rained heavy shower OF bul
lets. The long swim would be trying
enough, but to swim with the chance
Of being shot every second was ter
rible. Yet many sailors came forward
at their admiraps call, ready to risk
their lives for their country's good
They were all grown-up men, and
they must have stared in wonder as
one Of the. cabin boys, Cloudesley
Shovel, said:
Il can swim, sir; and if | am shot
shsll be missed less than anyone else"
After moments hesitation the pa
per was handed to the boy, who put
it between his teeth and sprang over
board. How the men watched him
as long as he could be seen. He reach
ed the reserve ships in safety, and,
as they went into action at once, a
victory was gained by the English.
When-the sun was setting Cloudes-
ley Shovel stood once more upon the
admirars ship and received his heart
tests thanks.
II shall live to see you have q flag
ship Of your own," he said.
The admirai's words came true, for
the brave cabin boy became Sir Cloud
esley Shovel, one Of the greatest Brit
ish admirals.
