THE FREIGHT TRAIN.

How love to watch the local ia
Winding up around the hill -.
In the sunrise of the morning,
When the autumn air is still,
And the smoke. like loosened tresses,
Floats away above her back,
And to hear the chuka. chuka,
Chuka, chuka of the stack.
The man who rides these mountains,
Whose Gerry steod of steel
Drinks at natures flowing fountains,
Must inevitably feel
A divine and peerless painter
Spread the scenes along the track,
While he hears the chuha, chuka,
Chuka, chuka of the stack.
In the solemn hush Of midnight,
When his pilot plows the gloom,
From hundred hills wild roses
Send their subtle, sweet perfume
To the wary. weary watcher
Whose lamps light up the track,
And q hundred hills give back the
Chuka, chuka of the stack.
Oh, how miss the music
OF the whistle and the bell,
And the drumming of the furnace.
More than any tongue can tell
And tho mighty, massive mogul
Always seems to call me back,
With her chuka, chula, chuka,
Chuka, chuka OF the stack.

James Stanley q Widow.

Another of the strange stories for
which the English chancery court is re-
markable is astonishing everybody to-
day. The Widow Cullener had life
interest in her husbands estate, ter
minatlng on her remarriage. 1t is al
legged that she married certain James
Stanley in 1865. The answer is that
the widow is Stanley. She has lived as
man for the past 28 years and carried
on business as a plumber. She went
through a marriage ceremony in 1866
with another woman named Newland,
and they lived as man and wife till
1885. The case is still on trial. Lon

A lannon's Electrician.

Charles F. Brush, the famous electri-
clan, became interested in the mysteries
of that force when he was but 13 years
of age. 1t is related that while he was
attending the Cleveland high school he
distinguished himself by making elec-
trio machines and batteries for that in
stitution. During his senior year the
chemical and physical abilities of the
laboratory were placed under his
charge. When he was but 16 years of
age, he constructed an electric motor
having magnets and armature. He also
constructed microscope and tele-
scope, making all the parts with his
own hands, even to the grinding of the
lenses. .-Exchange,

A GIRLS GRATITUDE.
Her Devotion to q Mother In Prison II
Rewarded at Last.

Her Devotion to q Mother In Prison II
Rewarded at Last.
A bright eyed, rosy checked young
lady was waiting for Governor Mat
thews when he reached the executive
Office the other morning, and as he en-
tered she extended her hand. The
governor recognized her as the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Martin of Dubois county,
who was pardoned out OF the female
reformatory the day before, and in an
aver to her excited inquiry if it was
true that he had pardoned her mother
he replied, "Yes, and you may take
the pardon and deliver it to her."
The announcement was followed by
visible emotion, and it was some mo-
inents before the daughter could con-
troll her feelings sufficiently to thank
him, but looking rather than speaking
her gratitude she took the pardon, and
a few moments later her mother was re-
leased after eight years confinement.
"That is one Of the most peculiar
cases that ever met, said the govern
or as his visitor left the room. Mrs.
Martin was convicted and sentenced for
life for infanticide. She had been de-
serted by her friends and had three
small children depending upon her for
support. These she supported by bend
ing over the washtub, and when q
burth child was born dead she was ar
sested and charged with its murder.
There was, in fact, no evidence to sup
port the charge except what could be
explained away or accounted for by
natural causes, but she was given life
sentence.
Several years ago her daughter came
here and secured work as domestic In
order to be near the mother, and she has
called to see me several times in the
effort to secure the pardon. 1t was she
who left moment ago, and am more
than grati6ed over an act which be-
lieve Is one Of justice to the mother and
which rewards tho devotion Of the
daughter. indianapolis Cor. Cincin-
