When you stop to think of it, rail-
reading is largely a matter of faith, just
as living is. Every conductor runs his
train by faith in the dfspatcher's or
ders and not by sight That is the
most reasonable thing that he can do.
Common sense tells him that it is bet
ter to rely on the direction of the dis
patcher who is in communication with
every train on the division and knows,
if anybody does, every emergency, than
it is for him to run his train by sight,
with only few yards in view at a
time BY obeying orders he is able to
add to what he can see a great deal
more which he can not see If it is
reasonable for a conductor to run his
train by faith in a dispatcher who may
make mistake, how much more rea-
sonable is it for man to run his life
by faith in a God who never makes a
mistake, whose morning sun is always
on time, whose centuries are as prompt
as his seconds.
Wonderful are the inventions of men,
but they can not outrun or outwit the
laws of nature and natures God.
Some things are forever impossible.
No train can run in opposite directions
at the same time. remember hearing

Meakin is away on lecturing trip in

The Western News, of Stockton, Kan.
has the following in regard to Brother
Meakin, which will be read with inter-
est by his many friends here:
On Tuesday evening the Knights of
Pythias gave a reception in honor of
Past Grand Chancellor of the state
Of Utah, John P. Meakin, who was Wis
iting in the city. The weather was such
that the crowd was small, only a few
members of the order being out. There
were about 20 invited guests. The
meeting was somewhat informal, but
was just the kind that gives each one
a chance to enjoy himself. S. N.
Hawkes. gave short address and
closed by introducing Mr.. Meakin. Mr.
Meakin's address was confined to the
origin, history and high social aims
of the order, and was one of the finest
we ever heard along these lines. To one
who admires a ready use of strictly
pure and proper language, Mr.. Meakin
is a most interesting speaker on any
subject he takes up. After the ad-
dress, Mr.. Meakin rendered, at the re-
quest of the guests, a number of his
choicest selections, some pathetic, some
comic. He is a dramatist, and also
comedian. and we would rather hear
one of his selections than wit
ness any of the small shows that have
lately visited Stockton. Refreshments
were served Mrs. Chapman did the
work of preparing, and the work of
serving was done by ]. H. Turtle, John

HOTEL GUESTS IN A PANIC

Chicago, Ill. Oct. ID. AT l. 90 O'Clock
this morning fire broke out in the Sher-
man House, one of the largest hotels in
this city. and, although all the guests
and servants escaped without loss of
life, there was, for time, the liveliest
kind Of panic among them.
The fire originated in the kitchen,
from gas stovr, and spread with great
rapidly. Tho hotel la being remodeled,
the entire fret story being supported
by jack screws. This open space gave
the fire n chance, and the strong breeze
that vas blowing from the west fannod
the fire fiercely. In few minutes the
entire building was filled with dense
cloud Of smoke, and the attaches of
tho hotel Offices were hurrying through
the halls, calling on the guests to pre-
pare to leave. Many of the guests
noeded M warning, they being in the
balls, half.dressed and more than ready
to make their escape to the open air as
soon as they SAW a chance to 40 10.
There was a wild rush, and in few
minutes all the guests were in the
street or safely IN their way to ii. Tho
servants were located in the seventh
story OF tho hotel, aud, for time. il
looked ms though some of them would
| not be able to rench the street in safety,
owing TO the dense clouds of smoke
| that filed tho building. The hremen
were compelled to carry several servant
| girls duwn two flights of stairH, until
they could secure passageway to the
street that was comparatively free from
smoke, and from this point all managed
Ia make their oeCape from the building
without accident.
Within 10 minutus after the discOv.
cry of the ire all the guests and ser
wants had been taken from the build
| ing, and tho iiremeu were free TO de
vote themselves to the fire alone. Tit

to hold it within the roar portion q

had it under control. The damage t
