MASKED ROBBERs.
Northern Pacific rain Held Up by
Five Bandits.

WASHINGTON. Sept 1.-The North
ern Pacific passenger train No. 4, was
held up at Gray Cliff. Mont. on Satur-
day night by five masked men. The train
arrived at St. Paul yesterday. and Con
ductor Randall told the story Of the
robbery.
At Gray Cliff two men got on the
engine and compelled the engineer 10
stop about three miles beyond the station
Here the two robbers We're joined by
three more men. and q regular fusillade
OF firearms was opened for the purpose
Of frightening everybody. The express
car was the first 20 be attacked. Pound
ing at the door the robbers commanded
the messenger to open it,at the same time
letting him know that they We're pro-
yided with dynamite bombs and that it
would be useless 10 keep them waiting.
The messenger, Harry Decamp, adj
mitted them. Pointing a gun at his head,
the robbers ordered him 10 open the
safe. he partly complied with the order
In the car are two safes. one for local
business and the other containing
through parcels. The local safe was
opened. but il contained only about 500,
and the robbers had 10 be content with
this for the combination OF the other

Having secured all the plumber they
could get from the express car the rob
bers proceeded TO go through the train.
About forty minutes had elapsed from
the time the train was stopped when
they made their appearance ia the rear
Pullman and commanded Conductor Ran
dali to throw up his hands.
keeking the express messenger and
train hands we'll under cover the rohbes
walked through ear after ear and took
all they could get. which was not very
much. From their actions they appeared
TO be professionals at the business. but
they did not stop TO ague financial
questions with any person. II a passen-
ger gave them s. and said that was all
he had they would remark. IAN right"
and pass on 10 the next man. In two
Pullman cars there were about forty
passengers, the majority Of whom were
ladies, and all ware pretty well scared.
However only about 500 in cash was
forthcoming. and with this amount and
a few watches the robbers left. When
they had made tour OF the IRAN they
courteously babe their victims good night
and disappeared In the darkness.

The Future Life.

Two poets have given expression 10 the
thought that our imperfect knowledge Of
the future life does not prevent MS from
attaining assurance IN some things. says
Whittier:
Il know not where His Islands lit
Their fr0nded palms In air;
] only know / cannot drift
Beyond His love and care
And Baxter OF Kidderminister agrees
with the New England poet.
MY knowledge OF that life is small;
The eye Of faith Is dim;
But It's enough that Christ knows all
And / shall be with Him"
There Is much about heaven that we
do not know. IT'S location and the exact
nature Of its employment and joys are
hidden from as. But We know that

A serious riot occurred In Bombay
recently between the Mohammendans and

fact that festivals Of both sects occurred

sons Of men The teaching OF the story
enables us TO realize something OF the
quality OF this love.
IT avoids the weaknesseswhich wait on
our poor human love. There are two
weaknesses which disGgurc human love.
One OF these is the weakness Of strong
natures This is the weakness of egotism.
Men Of strong and energetic character
bestow their benefits and In doing so seek
to attach men to their own following.
They are kind aud generous. but they
like 10 be the centre Of a band of ad-
miring followers. They are forceful and
Iesoiute, and they draw men after them
selves Such men can seldom avoid the
weakness which delights IN It's own leader
ship. They become leaders Of parties But
the leaders of parties can hardly be the
saviors Of men. The love which saves So
ciety looks beyond the benefit bestowed.

which waits on strong natures.
II Is equally above the weakness Of weak
natures. Egotism is the weakness Of the
strong, and sentiment is the weakness Of
weak natures Love in these lacks force
and virility. II is easily won 10 10 any
thing which the loved one asks. 1t yields
