viands of that forlorn lunch counter
would seem to you and me as we sit
down to our Christmas turkey at our
own table, to the little hungry boy they
were fit for king, and if everyone
throughout the land enjoyed his Christ
mas dinner as little Tommy did in that
dingy old station, it was indeed merry
Christmas.
However, it came to pass that the boy
was finally satisfied. He had stuffed
himself to his full capacity, and with q
sigh of supreme satisfaction prepared to
slide Off the high stool, ignoring all OBJ
legations and without word Of excuse
or thanks to his genial host. 1t was
very probable that with the purely
natural selfishness which we are all
heirs to, but which is more plainly evil
dent in children owing to their inno-
cence, the boy who did not think that
his poor mother was still fasting, but
with the sublime faith of childhood in
the omnipotence of parents, he rested
In the conviction that she was old
enough to look out for herself, if indeed
he gave the matter any consideration,
which is not at all probable.
But Reuben had not forgotten, and
had made up his mind that the woman's
fast should be broken.

way. But am fairly fixed in my opin-
ion that somehow or other. in the
merciful providence of the Lord, he will
walk the golden streets of the New
Jerusalem, wearing a crown of eternal
life-and I will tell you one reason why
think so:
It was almost noon on Christmas day
when the through express pulled into
Starvation Junction six hours late.
Desolate and dreary as the station APP
peared, the travel-worn and hungry
passengers were glad to see it, as they
had been informed they could procure
refreshments on their arrival, as no
other opportunity had presented itself
to satisfy their hunger since the pre-
vious day.
The storm which began in the night
had developed into the unmistakable
blizzard so much hated and feared by
all who travel by rail. The engine had
done all that iron and steam could do
against it's inveterate foe, but in spite of
gallant efforts the blizzard seemed to be
getting the best of the battle, and for
some time before the train pulled up at
the station the iron lungs of the engine
seemed to labor with painful effort as
it plowed it's way through the drifts.
The station was equipped with the
usual lunch counter, upon which was
displayed the uninviting and meager
fare which generally greets the travel

ing public at such institutions. There
were sandwiches for those who could
afford to pay ten cents for the small
suspicion of the flag end of some old
remnant Of fat mercifully hidden be-
tween two slices of stale bread. There
were beans-baked beans, hard, dry
and musty, which could be had for 25

cause probably most of them are doing

the name.

of this nature that there are some who

The refreshed travellers had all set
tied themselves in their seats and the
train was jogging along again as best it
could through the snow. Passing
through the car Reuben looked careful
ly about for the woman and child, as he
was deeply interested in the success of
his maneuvers. There is no great diff
ficulty in locating anyone on train of
cars, and as matter of course Reuben
soon found the objects of his search.
His business with them was very brief;
indeed it was completed with a passing
glance, and completed to his intense
satisfaction, for that glance was suf-
ficient to show him that the hungry
woman was enjoying his bounty with a
relish which none can appreciate, un
less he has had corresponding eX-
periences. He was not noticed as he hur-
ried by the little group. He did not
want to be recognized, for with a fine
delicacy which always accompanies
true generosity he felt that the less the
woman saw of him the more comfortable
she would be. Reuben Bullwinlle
wanted no recognition or thanks; in
deed the idea that he was entitled to
thanks never entered his head for
moment. Neither did he make any
mental calculation as to the value of an
act of friendliness put down to his
credit account on the recording angels
book, nor did he look for any special
blessing which the Lord might owe him
for his act of charity. Indeed the little
thought which he gave the matter had
its relation entirely to the objects of his
sympathy, and If his heart was light
and his soul joyous, it was because he
had unconsciously wandered near the
threshold of Heaven and heard the echo
of angel voices singing: "Peace on earth
and good will to men."-Frank Beard,
in Rams Horn.

I left Chicago for Texas l had provided
myself with formidable weapon in the

no doubt that l would be able to cope
with the most blood-thirsty adversaries.
Arriving at my destination, I soon be-
gan to form acquaintance among the
citizens of the city in which had taken
up my temporary residence.
Strolling into the palatial saloon
known as the Glass Front one evening
soon after my arrival, met number
OF cowboys and deputy sheriffs, and the
conversation drifted to the subject of
guns, as shooting weapons are called
in Texas. BY the way, in Texas at
the time I speak of, the only persons
entitled to carry weapons were sher-
ifs, marshals and their deputies, and
rangers, and every bad man who wanted
to shoot somebody would generally
have influence enough to get appointed
as deputy of some kind or other. The
most reputable portion of the popula-
ton was therefore debarred from carry
ing weapons, and were therefore at the
mercy of any licensed thug. AS I said
before, the subject of conversation was

SMACK IN SCHOOL
Causes Intense Excitement At Pittsfield-
Teacher Arrested.

Pittstield, March ia smack in
school of the osculatory kind has pro-
duced IL more smacks on the upturned
anatomy of grammar school boy
named Humphrey and as result there
is state of excitement in Pittsfield
truly impressive to observe.
For you, see, the Humphrey boy.
Monday, commenced to have hem
friends, two doctors have found
bruises on his person that will lead him
to seek cool. soft cushions for a time,
and some people assert that his condi-
ton is even critical.
At all events, the principal of the
school. Prof. f. B. Bailey, has been
arrested on a civil suit brought by the
boys father and is under $1,000 bonds
| TO appear for trial at the April term
at Skowhegan.
Last evening the boy was reported to be
in so much distress that certain eXcitable
citizens We're openly threatening to in
fiict personal violence or ignominy on the
teacher.
1t appears that several months ago. at
Il previous term of school. young Humph-
rep was dared by another pupil to walk
over and kiss n pretty little girl in the
school. Prof. Bailey had stepped out of
the room for a moment. Master Humph-
rey, either in a sporting or an amatory
spirit, took up the gage and kissed the
girl and that smack is echoing stun.
The principal didn't punish Humphrey
at the time. In fact. Mrs. Humphrey in
terfered and told the principal that if he
touched the boy his father would make
trouble for the master.
1t is claimed that this parental inter-
ference made the young man rather
perky. and. after patience was exhausted
and moral suasion dropped her tail
feathers the master doubled him over a
seat and taking Il foot-ruler and utiliz-
ing the fiat side. he exhibited to the
school a practical illustration of how to
beat carpets in pap's dooryard next
month.
AT the time the punishment wasn't con-
sidered to be condign but if some sympa-
thizing friends are to be considered, the
blows almost killed Humphrey. The vii
lage is taking sides on the matter. all
the people are discussing it. the school
board had special session yesterday to
consult and the vital topic in Pittsfield
is to just what was the dynamic force
of the teachers blows.

800 BLOWN 10 DEATH.
Train Bearing Spanish Soldiers Wrecked BY
Dynamite Mine.

New York, March IA dispatch ia
The Press from Havana says: The
news that Spanish forces have met with
q serious disaster in the west is con-
firmed. 1t is learned through reliable
channel that train carrying 600 troops
while going from Artemisa to some
southern point, was blown up by Gu
bans, more than 900 troops being killed
or wounded. The details give a tragic
coloring. The Cubans had learned thai
the troops were to be sent on that train
They mined a long. high trestle crossing
ST. Carman channel. This bridge Is
more than so feet high. The mines were
exploded as the train was passing over
it, with terrible effect. Half of the en-.
tire train was lifted up and thrown into
the deep channel beneath.
The force of the explosion was terrific
the ground being torn up for great dis
lance. The cries of the wounded and
element and terror.
AS the remainder of the troops rushed
out of the cars they were met with a
whitening fire from the concealed Gu
bans. and dozens fell at the first volley
The engagement lasted an hour. the
Spaniards hravely fighting behind the
cars. but it was of no avail, and to save
their lives they surrendered.
The cars that had gone down caught
fire and We're destroyed entirely. many
soldiers being caught in them and burned
to death.
More than 300 troops were found to be
missing, and are supposed to have beer
killed.
The Cubans lost possibly 40 men. All
tf&e prisoners were released, save the
officers, who were held for the safety OF
eight insurgent officers at Artemisa, who
had been sentenced to death by the
Spanish commander. and Colonel Pence
the Cuban commander sent word that II
these men We're shot he would order his
hostages TO be killed, and that 20 of the
soldiers would be shot, too. In revenge
for Cuban soldiers shot there last week
1t is said that the Cuban officers vert
released from Artemisa.
