The Drawbridge Keepers Heroism.

Drecker, while stationed at his post
Of duty at the draw bridge above the
Passaic river, heard the whistle of an
approaching express train. In hin
haste to close the draw, which he had
opened fora passing ship, he knocked
his siX-year-old boy into the river.
What should he do? Save his only boy

toward the open chasm9 What men

save the passengers. AS the child
sank from his view Drecker swung
the heavy draw into place and then
only did he spring into the river after
his child 1t was too late, but train
crowded with passengers whirled
past in safety and ignorant of the
gatekeeper's heroism. Thisseems tC
me the bravest act ever personally

A Clergyman's Prayer.

An old clergyman in Maine, in q

while his in the interior was fertile

A MYSTERIOUS WARDROBE.
How One WI. Dse.-ed Woman Seemed

How One WI. Dse.-td Woman Seemed
Never to W,.s .i.s ~ame Gown Twice.
AT a reception one guest was the
admired of all the uen and the en-.
We'd of all the women. The latter
were in despair over her gown.
ut is of no use trying to discover
her dressmaker," they said, because
all her dresses are imported"
They talked about her always wear
ing either white or green, and said
she must have a fortune in those two
oolors. She had taken to the empire
styles particularly, and actually
never seemed to wear the same dress
twice, and they were all so lovely
too. There was the one she had on
then, a green satin with a square
train that fell from between the
shoulders, and white Josephine slip
6elted across the breast with cord
Of silver. The sleeves were enor-
nous puffs of green velvet. Her
blond hair and lovely skin completed
Ghe picture, and one woman went so
iar as to whisper to her. "Oh, do
wear this dress again; it is so lovely" "
But she only looked mildly bored.
Of course i'll natured things were
said, too-that her husband could not
,fford anything like it, and all that.
So she remained mystery, and to-
night moro lovely one than ever.
Now for the other side of it. She
never had but one dress at time,
and if you had jumped at her sud
lenly for given gown she could not
have furnished it. Her wardrobe
consists of three or four great square
1rains long enough to come from the
shoulders, if need be, and all lined.
They are in satin, silk and velvet.
Some are white and some green. All
the greens will go together, by the
way. Then she has q lot of puffs for
sleeves, some green and others white.
She has any number up to five frocks
chat are made empire in one way
and another. Two have trains enough
Of their own to go either with or
without another train. Then she has
of yards of ribbon, sash widths and
narrower She has embroidered
pieces of various kinds and lengths
and widths. She has good deal of
old lace, q shawl or SO her mother
had given her, some lengths, and SO
on.
1t is not meant that she never has
4 new dress. She has about as much
to spend on her gowns as any ordi
nary woman, but not enough to
dress in the extraordinary way size
does unless by some extraordinary
means. Che puts dresses together
piecemeal. They are pinned on and
sewed on as she stands in them, and
in no way can a dress be made to
look so much part of the wearer. A
train is puckered narrow at the waist
for one time and worn wide as a
cloak and from the shoulders the
oeXt time. Her maid is expert with
benzine and pressing irons. She her
self is fertile of designs. The idea is
too good q one to be allowed to re
main with just one woman.

Find out early what nature designs
you to be-whether a lawyer, doctor,
preacher, trader, or mechanic-and
strive assiduously to qualify yourself for
the discharge of the duties OF your
calling, say William Matthews. BE
careful not TO mistake hasty impulse,
a shallow temporary liking, for real
bent or deep love for a vocation; and,
on the other hand, when you have
pursued any business for some years,
and met perplexites Of which you had not
dreamed, do not hastily abandon IL for
another-thus throwing away most OF
the knowledge and experience acquired
with the expectation OF finding your
pathway in the latter strewn with
roses without thorns. All callings that
are worth pursuing are alike in this
that not one of them is easy. Only
after repeated failures following the
most earnest and persistent effort to
succeed should q change be made.
Remember, too, that those kinds OF
business which pay best in the long run
are the slowest in the beginning to
yield q return.

The Lowest Rate OF the Year to Chicago

The Lowest Rate of the Year to Chicago
via p. r. r. Co.'S Coach Excursions.
At a recent meeting the rate TO Chi
cago via tho Pennsylvania Railroad
was definitely decided upon, and will
hold good during the remaining excur-
sions of the peoples popular coach ser
les: $500 from New York, $l7.O0 from
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, and proportionately low rates from
other points on the company's division
and branches. These rates are the low
est that have yet been authorized, and
their ultimate legality has been brought
about mainly through the efforts OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
The remaining dates on which this
remarkable rate will apply are October
18th and 2lst from New York and Phil
adelphia, and l4th and 2lst from Balti-
more and Washington, when trains will
leave the several Eastern terminals
fully and comfortably equipped with
Pennsylvania standard coaches, and all
taking advantage OF these exceptional
opportunities are assured of being am
ply cared for in transit. The arriving
time in Chicago, early the next after
noon, is on equality with the fast ex-
press trains schedule, and affords suffi-
cient time for a selection of accommoda-
tions for the stay in Chicago.
The immense volume of travel now
directing itself towards the Worlds
Fair and the rapidly approaching ter
mination of the Exposition influence
the company to place every inducement
possible before the public. There could
be no better way devised to encourage
visits to the most marvelously gorgeous
exhibition the people of this generation
have ever seen.
