A "Reminiscences of Travel In the South
Only Ten Years Ago.

Travelling between New York and
Atlanta is very different thing now
to what it was when first came south
in 1884," said II. d. Wakefield to an
Atlanta journal man. To-day" he
continued, lone can make the trip in
something like twenty hours without
change Of cars. in elegant vestibule
trains, including dinner cars.
Ten years ago the line most patron
lied was called the Atlantic Coast line
or something of the kind. The
system was composed of lot of short
roads operated in conjunction with
each other, and it took about three
days to make the trip. The trains
dragged along at a snail's pace, and but
little attention was ever paid to
schedules.
Il remember" continued Mr. Wake
field. lone day when was making my
first trip over the road, coming to At
lanta on business, we stopped for dim
ner in some little town in North
Carolina. Twenty minutes would be
allowed. the trainmen said. l did not
at first feel hungry and decided that /
would prefer spending the twenty
minutes stretching my legs upon the
depot platform, but after a few minutes
of this / learned that it would be about
eight hours before we made another
stop for refreshments and l began to
get hungry then and there. Upon in
quiry i found that ten minutes of the
twenty yet remained and / fastened to
the dining room.
Before l got fairly started the other
passengers began to leave and l was
not half through when l found myself
alone, but looking through the doorway
L saw the conductor standing near the
entrance to the dining room and made
up my mind to keep on eating as long
as he stood there. Invent clear through
the dessert and the conductor still stood
in the hall. Having made very
hearty meal, l walked out to where the
conductor was standing.
"'Through? inquired he.
AYES said !.
"'Well. guess we had better be GO
ing, then and the conductor waved
signal TO the engineer.
Look here said l, do YOU mean TO
tell me that you held that train for me
to eat diuner?'
"'Oh, yes said he with a smile, i
thought would give you time to ill
up
He had kept train of eleven
coaches waiting more than ten minutes
for me TO finish my dinner. Fact"

A RUSSIAN JUDICIAL SOLOMON.
How He Got All the Meat There Was In
the Legal Nut.

Oriental Justice sometimes finds
parallel in Russia, where judges and
lawyers see no difficulty in making &C.
centric decisions and taking the meat
of the nut for themselves, leaving the
shell for plaintiff and defendant.
One day at village market shoe
maker bought q calfskin for ? 1-2
rubles, and having no money with him
went home to procure it.
The farmer meanwhile sold the skin
to second buyer for 3 rubles. Then
the original buyer returned. and when
he discovered the trick that had been
played was so indignant that 4 quar-
rel ensued, and the matter was brought
before Justice.
You bought the skin first?" said
the latter to the shoemaker, after lis
tening to the evidence.
Yes"
For how much?"
Two and a half ubles."
Have You the money!"
Yes"
Put il on the table"
Then turning to the second buyer
the Justice asked: You bought the
skin afterward and paid for it?"
Yes"
How much did you pay?"
nree ruDleS.
"Have YOU the skin?"
Yes"
Put il under the table"
The man obeyed and the farmer WAS
next addressed.
You agreed to sell for two and one
half rubles, and as the buyer did not
return promptly with the money you
sold to another for three rubles?"
Yes"
Have you the 5 rubles?"
Yes"
put them on the table"
When this had been done the Judge
delivered his decision: 1.-The shoe
maker is to blame for bargaining with
out money and thereby endangering
the peace of the town. The second
| buyer is to blame for outbidding an
other, and the seller for dealing with
people without money. Now all three
of you go. March!"
And they went perforce, leaving
skin and money behind them.

s,cl. Headache.

Attacks of sick headache could often
be avoided il the cause of them were
known. In many instances the cause is
3 disordered condition Of the stomach.
In such cases there is often a regular re-
currence Of the attacks lhe person in the
meantime feeling perfectly free from the
complaint.
Here it will often be found that by
some error Of diet the patient is gradu-
ally accommodating in his system some
noxious substances, which it takes spe-
cial effort of hature to throw off. Then
the whole internal machinery refuses to
do its ordinary work. The stomach, the
intestines, the liver and other organs
which produce the digestive juices al
most entirely cease their regular task of
rendering the food taken into the mouth
fit for absorption into the system at large.
Sometimes habitual overeating will
produce this result, or person who
has been constantly active may continue
to eat his usual amount Of food after ex-
changing his occupation for some more
sedentary one. In either case the result
Is the same-the overburdened organs
become partially paralyzed, the undi-
gested food acts as an irritant, and head
ache and general disorder in the digestive
tract prevail.
A person who has no symptoms of
stomach disorder, or who has been
taught by his physician to avoid indis-
cretions which formerly resulted in
trouble, and who still has regularly re-
current attacks Of sick headache, must
look to some other than these, the most
common causes of such attacks Youth's

strangely Saved by a pream.

1t is related that Waterville woman,
Mrs. j. NJ. Cook, once had very re-
markable vision. In her dreams she met
a man with peculiar physiognomy, who
said to her, "Your turn next" and then
disappeared. The next morning she re-
membered the mans face perfectly, but
could not recall under what circum-
stances she met him. Again she dreamed
the same thing. For weeks and months
after she would occasionally have the
same dream without the slightest varia-
ton. She began to be seriously troubled
over the occurrence and at length de-
cided to leave town.
She had been in Philadelphia a few
days when she had occasion to go into
one of the large buildings. Upon the
second floor she noticed that there was
an elevator and decided to wait for it.
Just at that moment it came down, and
as it went by the second story landing a
voice within said, "Your turn next"
This startled Mrs. Cook, but she
thought it merely accidental that these
were the precise words of her dream and
resolved to repress her fears. The ele-
vator came up and stopped. She almost
tainted when she saw that he was the
perfect image of the man of her dream.
Her terror can better be imagined than
described. She recovered herself quick
ly, and ordering the elevator to stop at
tho next landing she got out. The ele-
vator went ON, but short distance from
the third story something gave way and
the elevator crashed to the basement,
killing the man instantly. = Lewiston

The Cowboys Accomplishments.

One Of the chief sports Of the cowboys
Is snatching q sombrero from the ground
on horse running at full speed. This
is done by many. They have become ex-
perts in the use of 6-shooter (revolver),
and a cowboy on the plains is seldom
seen without one or more, often two,
buckled to his waist. 1t becomes a
weapon offensive and defensive. Some
times a roped bull becomes SO furious
that the cowboy is compelled to shoot
him. Usually the cattle on the plains
are not dangerous. They will seldom
attack man ON horseback unless they
have been roped. If a man was on foot,
a herd would run over him trying to find
out what he was. A COW or bull is dan
gerous when roped. 1t is not much Of
trick to throw lasso and catch acow,
but the skill, courage and strength comes
after the COW has been lassoed. Cor.

Was Too Smart.

The boarding house joker has at last
met with setback. He has been crushed
by the landlady, and it came about in
this way.
He was the only man at the table full
of lovely girls, and like all only men he
was spoiled. So when the belle Of the
table remarked that she was very fond Of
pepper and then sifted half the contents
of the pepper box over her food he sprang
an old gag on her:
SIT won't hurt you. This pepper is half
peas
what is that you say?" asked the
landlady from the next table. "Speak q
little louder, won't your"
He reiterated his remark.
"That isn't true" retorted the land
lady hotly. II do not use adulterated
goods on my table,"
my dear madam" said the bland
joker, "there are always lot of p's in
pepper"
There was an impressive pause; then
the landlady said in a crushing tone:
"Oh, yes; just as you always furnish
part Of the dessert"
II don't understand"
