to work nm the minnesota divisions

so that the injunction will not be served
in Montana at present.
The morning train for Fergus Falls and

the schedule is all broken up in any

trains until the division superintendents
were certain the trains were manned by
men in whom they had perfect conf

to send out detectives or marshals.

Tears and Nerves.

As the muscular power that extends
or fexes a finger is at a distance
from the part moved, so the excite
ment of tears is from an irritation
from distant nervous center, and is
removed when the nervous center is
either soothed or exhausted. The
relief comes not from the escape OF
tears, which is only symptom, but
from the cessation of the storm in
the nervous chain. II the storm be
calmed by soothing measures - as
when we sooth a child that is weep
ing from fear, annoyance or injury
we quiet the nervous centers, upon
which the effect ceases In children
the soothing method succeeds, and
sometimes it succeeds in adults,
although in adults the cessation of
tears is more commonly due to actu-
al exhaustion following period Of
nervous activity. Boston Globe.
