dred yards away We thought of the nine long hours we had waited for that train, and goaded by the fear m a longer stay in Castleton we struck out at a lively pace toward the caboose.
 Two-thirds of the distance had been accomplished, and was striding along with the great piSce of luggage banging against my legs at every step, when the train commenced to move away, slowly now.
 "Runr' shouted. The men ahead of us were already on the run
 The lady began to scamper, holding the 5-year-old by one hand, carrying in the other her satchel and followed by the -year-o old, who brought up the rear.
 We gained, but not fast enough, thought l.
 Let me have the child, I cried, and grabbing up the little one under my arm I began the chase anew, with the big satchel still in one hand and making me go hippity hop by its joltings. Women we.e~ not made to run Yet the lady was doing we'll The train was getting some readway. I dashed along with my awkward burdens and in a few moments reached the steps of the nov ing caboose, swung the child up into the arms of one of the men who had caught the train, threw my other charge, the strange lady's satchel, upon the plat form and jumped aboard. Gloryi I was on my way to Fargo at last. But how a.bout the lady? She was now 20 feet behind and only holding her own.
 Hurry"
 But she was puffing-out of breath and began to lag behind. The 5-year-old on the caboose was dazed. The 11-year- old back with her mother on the rail road ties took in the situation and set up a howl to see me, the strange man, \ on board an eastern bound train with l her little sistcr and her mothers lug gage.
 The train was moving even faster. | There was but one thing to do. I leaped l to the ground, caught the little girl as l she was almost thrown to me by kind | ly passenger, set her on the ground, l then ran for the train, clutched the huge | satchel, planted that on the ties and finally by good sprinting caught up with the caboose and swung myself aboard.

She must now take her chances of getting into Fargo tonight by means of the way freight now standing at Castleton. Thu. I reflected as I stood on the rear end oi the caboose and looked at the forlorr trio standing on the track in the mids of their luggage. gazing after the reced ing train.

.The Lamb Gourxl.-

The Duke of Holstein, in his ''Trav- els In MusCpvy and Persia" u636), gives q full account of a wonderful vegetable growing ill the neighborhood of the city of Samarzl, Russia, and known as the lamb or sheep gourd. {" The duke says: Ut most resembles . lamb in all its members and on that account is called the lamb gourd. It changes place in growing as far as the vine or stalk will reach, and wherever it turns the grass withers When it ripens, the stalk withers, and the outward rind is covered with kind of hair, which the Musco- yites use instea d of fur. They showed us some of these skins, which were GOV cred with soft wool. not unlike that of lamb newly weaned
 Scaligcr also speaks of the ''lamb gourd'' in his works. In one chapter he says that the queer vegetable continues to grow as long as grass is plentiful, but that when the grass falls the pore crectyr dyes fEome lac of nourishment. " He also says that the wolf is the only animal that will feed upon it.-St Louis Republic.

The Boy Believed Tn Gods Promises but
 Was . Hit Scared
 Boys-that is, small boys-have queer ideas in their little heads. often finding expression in unique speech That they are truthful. or at least intend to be so, goes without saying. During the recent local flood n little boy about years old stood at the window watchinr the rain as it rained- It seemed to hin that he had never seen anything like it. had never in his brief experience no ticed such strong indications of a regu lar old fashioned flood. Finally Inc con fided his fears to his mother, asking II she didn't think that God was going t' drown out the world again.
 Here was tho golden opportunity foI impressing upon the mind of confiding childhood the teachings of the Bible. Sc she said calmly, Don't you remember, Archibald. that you learned in Sunday school that God promised that hs wouldn't drown the world again;" The little fellow watched the increasing rain a moment in silence while he pondere6 earnestly on the momentous question. "Yes." he said slowly. .yes, s'pos, I've got to believe what God says, bu -bnt''-and he shut his lips hard "but this is Q devil of a shower. "- Saltwater (Minn. Gazetta

THE SETTER DOG.
Its seenttnE Power Is So Fine as to Be c
 Source of Wonder.

Source of Wonder.
 The scenting power of a we'll bred, well trained setter is a thing wholly beyond human conception. and the mar vicious exhibitions they give of this power can scarcely be credited Indeed it would not be wise to seriously dis cuss the quality of a dogs nose were it not possible to verify the stories that might be told of this wonderful power Who would believe that dog going at a gOUd gallIp. with a dead bird in its mouth, could scent n live bird on the ground several yards to one side of his course? And yet there are few sports men who have not seen a dog point a live bird with a dead bird in his mouth It would seem as if the scent of the bird so near his nose would prevent the dog from scenting another bird of the same variety lying close in the grass several yards from him. A man with a bunch of roses in his face would not pretend he could smell a bunch of similar flow CTS foot away. If he did, no one would believe him
 Yet there is no doubt about the set ter being able to smell and point live birds on the ground while he holds a dead bird in his mouth. He goes fur ther than this He points a dead bird on the ground with a dead bird in his mouth, and he knows the instant he feels the scent that it is a dead bird This fact he expresses in his manner of pointing. and if it is a wounded bird he knows that. too. and indicates the fact. Most dogs are taught to point stanchly a live bird and not to point a dead bird The dog will go at full speed right up | to his dead bird and never pause a mo. ment If there is live bird near. he will point that stanchly, and the promptness and certainty of his deci' sions show that the instant he catches . scent he knows whether the bird is alive or dead He makes a distinction, too. between a dead bird, q live bird and 6 wounded bird. He points the wounded bird differently from what he does the
 live bird and usually springs in and catches it. What there is about a wound
 ed birds scent that he can recognize
 instantly is puzzle to every one whC
 has thought much of the question

u.rdln.l aIsse.. sn surr.x..

Cardinal Gibbons. in n recent sermon at the Baltimore cathedral, said on the question of woman suffrage:
 The church follows the teachings of St. Paul. that woman is equal to man, when he declares that God makes no distinction as to nationality. race or sex. It seems to me fearful to contem- plate what would have been the con dition of society today if it had not been for the restraining, sanctifying and pu- rifying influence of woman. Woman does not today exercise the right of suf- frage. She cannot vote, and I am heart fly glad of it. hope the day will never come when she can vote, and if the right is granted her hope she will re- gret it, even though there are some mis- guided women who think they want it. Rest assured, if woman entered politics, she would be sure to carry away with her some of tile mud and dirt of the po- htical contact She, too. would lose some of the influence which she now exerts.

 Evangline O'Glary came home from the ball wearied and distrait. Prior to the ball she had been working all day in the telephone office. Despite the fatigue and weariness which crushed her, however. she felt it would be i'm possible to sleep with the memory of Archibald Rooney's manly voice ring ing in her ears. She had been beautiful that night, she knew, but Archibald had been cold and distant, save for one word of formal greeting in his resonant, baritone tones Restlessly she thought it over while tossing sadly upon her couch and gazing through the damask curtains out upon the pallid, gibbous moon.

Fine columbian statuarY.

The people of st. Francis dc Sales
church and parish are to be congratu-
lated on the fact that they now have in
their beautiful house of worship two
stataes that are seldom excelled in beau
ty or workmanship. They were recent
ly purchased in New York by the Rev.
A. j. Barron, and formed part of the
exhibit from the German Empire to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, and at which
they were awarded medals of excellence.
One of them, representing st Patrick
is placed on the gospel side of the altar,
the other, representing st Bridget is on
the Epistle side. The former is six feet,
seven inches high, the latter three inch
es shorter. The appearance of each is
quite life-like as the face and hands are
in flesh color.
The outside garments of st. Patrick
are in gold leaf, the under ones being
quite handsomely decorated. The gar
ments of st. Bridget are in much more
sombre character, the statue being rep
resentative of a nun. The hands are
both raised aloft and in each is crosier.
The statues were made in Munich, the
material being composition of stone
which is said to almost equal the finest
marble.
The statues were placed in position
last week and have been much admired
by all who have had the pleasure of ex-
aiming them.
