STICKING TO THEIR POSTS.

Engineers Who Face Danger When Dis
aster Is at Hand.
Yes, I've been pretty badly scared
several times since I began railroad
ing, fifteen years ago." said an old
freight conductor, land don't really
know which one was the worse, al
though, Of course, I always thought
the last was. We're all of US human,
and if a man tells you he doesn't get
scared railroading, don't you beIive
him. I've seen lots in the papers about
heroic engineers who stayed at their
posts and sacrificed their lives trying
to save others. When you show me
one man that takes those chances for
humanity's sake, as they say, I'll show
you a hundred who stayed just because
they were too scared to jump OF didn't
have time.
"a man thinks mighty quick some
times, but he doesn't always have
time to think Of anybody that's be-
hind him. When a fellows running
across the country a mile a minute in
pit IN dark and all of a sudden a big
headlight flashes in his face or a pair
of red lights show up in front he is
mighty apt to forget what the papers
will say about a hero at his post. If
he can move at all he shuts off and
throws her over and plugs her with
one hand, working the air, just because
it's second nature and he can't help
himself, It's what they call mechani
cal, and a man will do it without really
knowing what he's doing. Then he'll
Jump if he car.
Talking about these heroes, I'm
one of them myself. I've a big reputa-
ton up North as a man who'd stick to
his post. 1t was when l first went to
railroading. I'd been raised in my
superintendent family, and when
| got old enough I went to firing on the
Milwaukee. About three months after
I'd igot a regular run I was out on g
freight over night. We'd had a rush.
and 1 was pretty tired, and about Il
o'clock the head brakemen took the
fire for a while and I went to sleep. J
was sitting on the front end of the
seat dead to the world, when a couple
of red lights on the tail end of caboose
showed up. The freight ahead of us
| had broken in two and we caught the
hind end in a cut. The engineer shut
off, but he didn't have the time to
throw her over and plug her, and he
and the brakeman both jumped with
! out even waking me up.

which every couple think they DOS
sess the finest copy.
A native of all countries, who speaks
the language of none.
An Invention for keeping people
awake at night.
A mite of a thing that requires a
mighty lot of attention.
A dlminutive specimen of perverse
humanity that could scarcely be en-,
dured if he belonged to some n else,
but, being u own, is a never-failing
treasure of delight.
Aman or woman making a start in
life.
The unconscious mediator between
father and mother, and the focus of
their hearts.
A daylight charmer and a midnight
alarmer.
A wee little specimen of humanity,
whose winsome smile makes a good
man think of the angels.
The sunbeam that drives dull care
away.
A thing everybody thinks there is a
great deal too much fuss about unless
it is their own.
The one thing needful to make home
happy.
There is only n perfect specimen
of a baby in existence, and every
mother is the happy possessor of it.
A mite of humanity that will cry no
harder if a pin is stuck into him than
he will if the cat won't let him pull
her tail.
A little stranger, with a free pass to
the hearts best affections.
The most extensive employer of

A pleasure to two, a nuisance to

A key that opens the hearts of all

That which makes home happier,
love stronger, patience greater, hands
buster, nights longer, days shorter,
purses lighter, clothes shabbier, the
past forgotten, the future brighter.

A BABY.

for the best definition of ababy that any
Of it's readers might send in, and the
first we print is the one which re-
ceived the prize, though we do not
think it was the best:
A tiny feather from the wing of love,
dropped into the sacred lap of mother
hood.
Thefollowing is selection from some
Of the best definitions submitted:
The bachelors borrow, the mothers
treasure, and the dispotic tyrant Of the
most republican household.
A human flower untouched by the
finger of IRE
The morning caller, MONDAY craller,
midnight brawler.
Fathers rival in mothers love.
A stranger with ~unspeakable cheek.
that enters a house without a stitch to
his back, and is received with open
arms by every one.
The spring of the tree from which
will be built the bulwarks of our ma
TONS future greatness.
A bursting bud on the tree of life.
A bold asserter of the rights of free
speech.
A tiny, useless mortal, but without
which the world would soon be at a
standstill.

About the middle of the afternoon I
came to a crossroads and saw a white
man fast asleep, with his back to a
tree, while an ancient looking colored
man was lying on the grass three or
four yards away and a horse was
hitched to the fence. The negro saw
me as [ approached and got up and
came out to the road and respectfully
saluted me and said:

"Him's Kurnel White, sah."

"'Zactly, sah-'zactly."
"Well, let's wake the Colonel up

THE DEFINITION OF "sooNERs.'

Theword "sooner" is Southwestern
descriptive term applied to would-be
settlers who try to get into territory
before it is opened up for settlement.
1t is gradually coming into general use
in defining that numerous class of ner-
yously excitable people who insist
upon crossing bridges before they come
to them, and who if not restrained by
the common sense of the community,
would hang up their Christmas ever
greens on the Fourth Of July and OBJ
serve New Years day about the middle
of August.-St. Louis Republic.

A Pleasant Snrnrise.

Rev. D. B. Randall has a cottage at
Old Orchard Camp Ground. On Mon
day afternoon of this week DR.. Randall
was quietly resting in his ham
mock beneath the shade trees
in the rear of his cottage.
A vigorous knocking at the door of the
cottage broke in upon his reverie. In
response to his invitation to Scome inn
friends to the number of 40 filed in tax
ing complete possession of the cottage.
These friends were from the Congress
Street NJ. E. church who had come out
from the city to congratulate the doctor
on his s5th birthday. They brought
with them a handsome easy chair which
was presented to Mr.. Randall in a bright
and appropriate speech by the pastor
Rev. Geo. D. Lindsay. The surprise was
complete but the doctor responded, ac-
cepting the gift and the kindly feelings
it betokened, in very pleasant manner.
After stroll about the campground and
beach and lunch on the lawn the par
ties returned with pleasant memories OF
the afternoons party.
