BETRAYED BY HIS hANn.
Lightning's Victim Recognized by the Mar
Who Had Been Robbed.


Lightning's Victim Recognized by the Man
Who Had Been Robbed.
Charles L. Thorpe from Oregon, formerly
business man of Philadelphia, called at
The Progress Office. Said hes II happened
60 takea seat in the car just behind plain
ly dressed but good looking colored man.
There was nothing unusual about that cir
oumstance, however, and would probably
never have noticed whether sat behind a
colored or white man but for little event
of no greater consequence than the colored
mans placing his hand upon the back of
the seat in which he sat.
"The train had nearly reached Tucson
when the colored man happened to throw
his right arm over the back of the seat,
with his hand in plain view, and / was al
most thunderstruck at what saw. / could
scarcely believe my eyes and eagerly leaned
forward to get a closer look at the hand
and be sure that was not the victim of an
optical illusion. / satisfied myself that
there was no mistake. The third and fourth
fingers Of the colored mans hand were as
white as a lady's, and white streak over
an inch wide ran along the back of his
hand and up his arm as far as ! could see
II was sure / had seen that hand before
/ went TO the front end of the car after a
drink of water simply that / might get a
look at the mans face. Every doubt was
then removed. He was George Waldron,
the man who had been my coachman in
Philadelphia for over 3 years some 20 years
ago Though paid him well for his serv-
ices, in an evil hour he stole over $500 from
me and fled to parts unknown. / never
made any effort TO find him outside of the
city and had never seen or heard of him
until that day When faced him, he rec
ognized me and fairly blushed through his
black skin at the recollection Of his crime
and ingrattude. He told me that he is
now living an honest life in Texas, where
he has a family and home and a small tract
of land.
but he has the mark Of Cain the whole
length of his body" continued Mr. Thorpe,
"and he got it while he was working for
me-, Though have read stories of similar
cases. don't believe there is another man
IN the world marked in the same way that
Waldron is. My house was on a hill and
he was standing in barn during a severe
thunderstorm, with his right hand uplifted
and resting against the side of the building,
when lightning struck the barn on the side
where he was and passed down his arm and
body and through the floor. IL burned his
clothing wherever IL touched his body and
tore the shoe from his right foot and threw
1t nearly across the barn.
"Of course the shock knocked him down
and rendered him insensible for a moment,
though he suffered no lasting injury. But
If there ever was a scared darky he was
the one. He was too frightened to pray,
and he looks half scared even now lie
will always bear ON his right side, from the
A.
next to the building, TO the sole of his foot
the white streak which marks the track Of
that flash of lightning. Pomona (Cal)

September Is Serious Month Where
It Is Not Used.

Babies die, nine times out of ten, from
impr' per feeding.
At this season Indigestion, diarrhea,
and cholera infantum do their fearful
mischief quickly.
Mothers, whose children have lived
through August, too often think that
the great peril is over, and often grow
careless in attention to baby's diet.
but this is a serious month for children,
as the high death rate for September
shows.
The mournful spectacle is pre-, ented OF
infants pining away and dying from
causes which might be avoided if
mothers knew more about the great ad-
vances Of science in infant feeding.
Physicians and nurses who have had
large experience with sick children in
cities and towns emphasize the fact that
homes where lactated food is used es
cape wasting disease in most signif.
cant manner. Lactated food is prepared
with the true scientific knowledge that
nothing better can be done than 10

the feeding of infants Lactated food
is most like mothers milk. 1t has saved
the lives of thousands Of little ones. 1t

AFifty Years Tryst.

DIR. Nevins tells very touching story In
his Disorders of the Brain" A patient of
his, young lady engaged TO be married,
was often visited by her intended husband
by the stagecoach, which passed within a
mile or two Of her house One day she went
to meet him and found instead an old
friend, who brought the news of his sudden
death. She uttered a frightful scream,
He is deadp' and then all consciousness of
her misfortune ceased. DAY by day for
90 years did this poor creature in all sea-
sons journey to the spot where she expected
TO see her lover alight from the coach, and
day by day she uttered in a plaintive tone:
He is not come yet. will return tomor-

Ant as "the DroomstIoI. Train. >,

It was on the Boston and Lowell railroad
on a suburban train that was just slowing
up for the East Cambridge station.
IL will be remembered that the Meigs ele-
waited railroad shops and yard are located
quite near the station and that for some
time past a fine model of the cars has been
on exhibition there. 1t was standing on a
single track that is carried over the road
beyond, and OF course it attracted much at
tention from the passengers in this particu-
lar car. Suddenly a child's voice, shrll
and distinct, as all children's voices are
when they are saying something especially
embarrassing, cried
Papa, papa, look at the bowlegged horse
carl"
Any one who has seen the Meigs models
and noticed the peculiar angle at which the
wheels are set in order to conform to the
single rail idea will appreciate the child's
apt description. Evidently almost every
one in the car had, for the laugh that fol-
lowed the remark had not subsidized when
