A correspondent reports the fol-
lowing incident for the Reveille:
What might have been a serious
accident to the Little ]. Friday last
was averted by the timely warning
given by Mr.. Jno. Ross and prompt
ly telegraphed through operator
Baker, at Red Lick. On Thursday
evening some negroes fred q sedge-
field near the track, leaving it to
burn into some brush during the
night. 1t spread to bridge No. 100,
situated between Tillman and Red
Lick, destroying some of the string
ers, which was discovered by Mr..
Ross late on Friday morning. He
at once notified the Red Lick oper-
ator, and word was dispatched to
Martin just as the down passenger
train pulled in at that town. On
reaching the scene the whistle sum-
moned the section hands, who work.
ed heroically in the pouring rain,
and within an hour and a hall all
was safe. The only damage was
missing the connection at Harris
ton. Such carelessness, which might
have resulted disastrously, should
meet its reward IN a court of justice.

Game Of Patchwork.

Have ready before beginning to play
some slips of paper 1h4 inches long by
5 or 6 inches wide. The number pre-
pared must depend, of course, on the
number Of players, says Harper's 8
Young People.
When all are ready to begin, each
one Of the company is provided with
q slip OF paper. They are then told
to write upon each slip a sentence
describing an action. The sentences,
however, must be without grammati-
cal subjects.
To make this plain, I will give q few
specimen sentences: &.
climbed up the side Of the house
with ladder.
sat down in the middle of the
road and sang a song.
----- went to bed with shoes and
stockings on.
wore bright red dress and q
yellow t. III. ..$s
could not eat because his teeth
were all gone. ~. 8i &
When the players have written the
required sentences, they are told to
fold each paper carefully, SO that the
sentence will be on the inside. It is
better to fold it twice.
The slips are then collected in q
box, basket or hat, and shaken up
thoroughly.

ROBBED THEM WITHOUT MERCY

Queer misunderstanding Of an Ap-
prentice Hand in Turkish Bath.
When the new apprentice assumed
duties at the Turkish bath estsblish-
ment the manager thought he seemed
rather stupid and entered into long
explanation of what he was to do.
says the New York Herald. He par
ticularly emphasized the command
that the attendant was to .'rub 'em
without mercy"
During the day the manager heard
great many complaints from his
patrons that they had lost their per-
sonal property. He thought that q
sneak thief must have come in to get
washed, and resolved to be on the
look out. He discovered nothing,
however, though he peeked around
most of the day like an amatuer de-
tective, hiding in all sorts OF places.
Toward the time when the new at
tendant was to go off duty the latter
went into the managers Office and be-
gan behaving with much mystery. He
walked around like wet hen, waiting
until the coast was clear. When there
was none but himself and his chief IN
the Office he tiptoed up to the door
and locked it. Then he produced from
his pockets five gold watches, some
diamond rings, a few scarfpins and q
gold headed cane, which he set forth
with great pride before the manager,
who horrorstruck, recognized the ef.
fects as belonging to his Gust toners.
You told me to rob 'en1 without
mercy, said the delighted novice.

THINGsiPREFERRED TO WEALTH

Few People Actually SO Constitu-
ted as Ito Be Satisfied With 1t
Alone. ~.
As matter Of fact, the chief inn
preston produced by great wealth.
even in America, is simply curiosity,
not admiration, hardly even envy.
There are many things that people
really value more than wealth at any
time-perhaps, thinks Harper's Bazaar
valuing wealth only as means for
these things. In youth people prize
amusement, pleasure, love; and wealth.
IS thrown away recklessly for the sake
OF such ends. After the maturer
tastes are developed, people have no
objection to wealth for the sake Of
other aims which it may promote,
but it is not q substitute for those
aims. The artist loves art, the man
OF science loves science, the student
loves study, the inventor loves inven-
tion, the domestic man loves home.
Even the man of action loves action
mainly as a thing attractive in itself
He would readily accept wealth
as d means of achieving his.
other proposes, but he would not sell
those purposes for wealth. The proof
OF this is that he does not, indeed, he
often impoverishes himself forhis own
pursuits. Beyond a very moderate
account" wrote Coleridge, 81 regard
money as q, real evil" The man OF.
other pursuits knows that one can
not possibly be very rich and carry
on those other pursuits also, SO en-
crossing is the mere care of property,
and so difficult and absorbing is the.
wise use of it. Many prominent
artist or author has been simply
ruined for the purposes for which he.
was created by becoming heir to a.
large estate; not that it demoralizedt
him otherwise, but it left him no time
for his natural work. Volumes have
been written on the suppression Of
genius through poverty, butvery little
has yet been said on, the wrecking of
genus through wealth.

Stories OF Lord strathnaJrn Wnen
He Was Devastating Central
s Ind la. 81 IL. M $5ss #ss
A correspondent writing Of the late
Lord strathnairn, says he was the
most indo olent, lack adaisical, languid
person whoever dawdled along Picca-
ldilly.
When he was devastating Central
India, winning the splendid victories
that immortalized his name, he was
SO lazy that he could not. go to die
tate the dispatches recording his own
triumphs..
~ Months elapsed before these docu-
ments could be extracted from him,
and then they were brief and meager
to the last degree.
One day, when Sir Hugh Rose, he
was entertaining a gallant company
to dinner during the crisis Of the,
mutiny.
With the utmost sang froid he was
delighting those near him with one of
his best anecd otes.
In the middle OF it his orderly enter.
ed and, after saluting, exclaimed: ::
""We have captured 200 rebels sir."'.
TO him the general turned, and
with that elegant court of manner on
which he prided himself, serenly re-
piled: ..G 3
Thank you, sergent.''
But the man still rem ainad
Again interrupting the chief, he said:
sBut what are we to do with them,
sir?'
"Oh," replied Sir Hugh, with a soft
smile, 'shang them, of course" and
he resumed his anecdote.
In little while Sir Hugh was again
interrupted in the middle of another
story by the sergent, who came in
and said: s'Please, sir, we've hung the
lot, sir.'' d
The general turned bowed slightly,
and in the sweetest manner lisped !:
"Thanks sergent very many thanks, :"
and then went on with his anecdote as
II nothing had happened. :.
This story came to the ears of the
Queen and she was so angry that it.
nearly cost Sir Hugh his peerage.
