Heroism Of a Boy.

A terrible railroad accident hap
pened in Hoboken, N. j., little
while ago. Anaccommodaiion train
running too fast in the fog, crashed
into n standing express. There wss
a schoolboy on the express who had
been sitting in the rear car studying
his lesson. As the express train
slowed up Affecting ofoppression took
hold of him. He suddenly remem
bered hearing his grandfather once
say that the rear car was the most
dangerous one in the train, and act
ing on an impulse of the moment be
got up and went through one car
into the third from the rear. He was
scarcely seated when he felt the car
crumbliDg beneath him and found
himself entangled in mass OF men
and wreckage.
Wounded and bloody, the boy exc
tricated himself. Above the rush of
escaping steam rose the agonized
cries of the unfortunates pinned be-
meath the broken timbers. Men were
daxed aghast.
IAN ak. an ak! shouted shrill
voice.
The schoolboy was the first to
gather his wits and start the work Of
rescue. With an ak he saved three
or four men before the older by
ISLANDERS had begun to think.
Then a cry of horror from another
point called an excited group of men
together. Beneath the wrecked en-.
CINE. amid the dropping Goals and
escaping steam, was seen the figure
of a man. The sight was the more
sickening because the dead locomc-
tive was liable to topple over any
instant and crush whatever lay be.
meath it. There was cry for vol-
unteers.
The conductor called the engineer
called but all held back. Not all
out of the crowd came slight figure
whose clothes were torn, whose face
was almost unacceptable from
blood and 500, and whose hands
were black from merciful toll.
"Ill gol LIT me go quick !" cried
the schoolboy.
The crowd stood back, while few
made an effort to stop him, but the
boy flung himself underneath the lc-
connective, risking death as unhesi-
tatingly as he had skated at recess.
Steam hid his movements; the huge
engine actually shivered above him,
as if deciding whether to roll upon
the young hero or not.
Then there was shout, and men
felt rising to their Threats. From
under the iron monster the boy re.
appeared, dragging after him the
man he had gone 10 save. Now there
were willing hands and plenty Of
volunteers, after the deed was done.
1t was said by those present that no
person SO distinguished himself as
that schoolboy. When he appeared
at his fathers door, hours afterward,
he sank exhausted upon the TIRES
hold, with clothes torn, with face and
hands grimy and bleeding, and so
changed that his mothers servants
did not recognize him.
One Of the distinguishing qualities
of our American boyhood is its
readiness to accept responsibilities.
Unselfsh and heroic conduct is not
q product Of age, bnt Of instructive
nobility, which it is pleasant to know
that the pupil at school may possess
equally with the man Of mature
years.-Youth's Companion.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Tried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. / concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTIcURA, a cake of CUTIcURA SOAP,
anda bottle of CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to rritate the flesh, and applied
'CUTIcURA. noticed change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty -four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the child only few doses of
the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT. l consider your
CUTIcURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand. 1
believe CUTIcURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. C. A. ARMSTRONG,

SUBMISSION.

Eyes that yearn with tears unshed,
Lips made mute by words unsaid,
Voices hushed by signs suppressed,
Hearts that break by care oppressed.
Thus the weary years go by,
Nor fierce complaint, nor outward cry,
In silence born are the pain and woe,
That only God and the angels know.
Rest will come, sweet, patient soul,
Thine the victory, thine the gol',
When at JehNah's great white throne,
Thou wilt lay thy cross with its burden
down.

A AFulI.BloOded Apache Who Has Travel

Since the days of William Kidd, the
talented but unfortunate buccaneer of
the Spanish main, there has been a
halo of romance over the head of sea
cooks. They have been the heroes
and villains of prodigious tales, and
even their sons have been endowed
with peculiar attributes. Not one,
however, is himself more of a unique
specimen than the cook of the British
ship John Cook, which recently ar
rived at San Diego, Cal, after long
and dangerous voyage from Cardiff.
This cook is a full-blooded Apache
Indian, born in the White mountains
of Arizona. His people, the terrible
White mountain and Tonto Apaches.
have caused no end of trouble to the
troops and settlers in Arizona. This
man was named Tumashaney (Silver
River) and was taken when still a
child to Mexico, where he was raised.
He has followed the sea for the
greater part of his life, and has visit
ed every part of the globe, learning
several languages, including English.
and becoming some years ago a mem
Der of the masonic fraternity. In
civilization he is known as John Levin.
He is quite dark, with the Indian
physiogncmy, and although 60 years
of age, appears hardly in middle life.
He has a Mexican wife and family
living on the peninsula of Lower
California, and says this is his last
voyage.

4 Race for Life Out OF Fast Spread

The most exciting expel crce ever

Der camp and retired % rest in one OF
the hunks provided for the choppers.
i was awakened by stroug light from
the north, and going outside of the
wooden shanty IL seemed 70 me that
the entire world was on fire. 1t
cracxed and snapped, danced and
jumped as if the demon of fire was
holding q high carnival and celebra-
ting the end of the world. From every
side could be heard sounds like the
firing of cannon and the shrieks of dy-
ing human beings. It was the falling
of the boughs and the signing of the
wind, but never heard SO horrible q
sound, nor witnessed so weird and ter
rible sight
Hastily awakening the other men in
the camp / mounted horse and fed
from the flames. But the horse could
not keep pace with the progress of the
fire. The lurid heavens looked as
though they were at molten heat; the
air was sitting; the smoke almost suf-
focated me, while falling leaves and
boughs burned my horse, and the sick
ening odor of burning flesh added to
the horror. Within two or three hours
was in an opening, where 1 was no
longer in danger, but my horse was
badly injured, while my clothing was
full of holes where embers had struck
me. I will take my chances with cy-
clones or earthquakes, but not with 3

Terrible Fate.
There is no shadow Of doubt but
that Engineer Edward T. Swope. who
met with q terrible death Ia the cab
of his dummy engine at Philadelphia
lately, felt that he had q forewarnin9
of some dire calamity. Il came 70 him
thirty-six hours before it occurred.
He intended to heed the warning by
not running his car that day. but
shook OF the feeling as foolish su.

Swope sa ID to his wife on the morn
ing of tho previous day: Tomorrow
will be nv last day on the dummies. -
Asked what he meant the engineer
turned it of by saying pleasantly: ''It
will be Saturday, and mean the last
day of the week"
Saturday morning he told his wife
that he had had q te rible dream on
Thursday night. and feared that it
boded no good to him. and that he
would not go TO work that day. He
went out and bought turkey for
their dinner, and when he brought it
home he said: 81 don't see why I
should be such Ounce as to worry
about that dream, and will go and
take my car out. J" which he did Two
hours later his dead body was carried
bome.
The tongue of a farmers wagon,
driven with terrific force by runaN ay
horses, penetrated the cab and disem-
boweled the unfortunate engineer,
and he was killed almost instantly.

The laws of Iceland are SO fully
recognized that the services of a police
officer are hardly necessary; Grim
inals arrest themselves, and the au-
thorities have little trouble in secur-
ing the punishment of an offender. A
young Icelander going across the
desert from Reykjavik, met a man
riding a pony. Such meetings are
rare in those parts, and, like ships on
the sea, the two hailed and spoke.
And this was the manner and sub
stance of their conversation:
whats your name?" Stefan" Z"
Whose son?'' "Thorstein's SON"
where are you going?" ITO prison. -
"What for?' Stealing sheep" ''No
one taking you?" NO, the sheriff
was busy, so he gave me my papers
the warrant for the arrest-and sent
me ON to prison by myself"
The men exchanged snuff and kiss,
and parted. A week later the young
Icelander was returning to Reykjavik,
and near the same spot he met the
same man. =.
"What!,' he cried. "Stefan Thorstein.
Why, you said you were going to
prison!" $50 was. and went, but
