THE LOCOMOTIVE ENoIN-C1.
His sweethc-rt'J Red I-atr Acted as a
Signal IN TiIsIc o. GcEcr.

His Sweethc-rt'J ned I-atr Acted as a
Signal N TfIsic .. Gc=cr.
A locomotive engineer should be one
of the most trut--C! G -2en. That's
why this little stor" of q -1t-f--SIn en-
gineer should be believed implicitly.
"lou may tall. as yrou please about
red-headed women" ..c was saying to
group of listeners, but a red-headed
woman saved my life and established
home for herself all at once. 1 was 25
then and running a freight on the
Chesapeake & Ohio in the West Virginia
mountains, where it took talent to run
an engine. My division ended at Hin
ton and a red-headed girl lived six
miles to the east, where there was a
siding near big cut and fill, and twas
bad place, as the road was new.
'The girls name was Maggie Conroy
and she had the reddest head | ever saw
on a human beings shoulders outside
of torchlight procession. But didn't
care for that and ID care fo.' Maggie
One sunshiny day l was coming down
the track with a stock train loaded
with some extra fine cattle and sheep
and / had in the caboose three of the
owners. 1t had been raining and wash
outs were looked for, but hadn't seen
any and was bowling along at a good
speed when all of a sudden at the curve
| thought | saw red light rising just
over the track. 1t seemed to shine like
blaze in the track and before / took
time for a thought had shut off the
steam, whistled down the brakes and
was doing my best to stop.
Fright then my fireman gave me the
ha ha in way to chill the blood in the
veins of man who can't stand teas
ing and l took a look forward and found
that the red light I thought l saw was
only Maggie's head of red hair sticking
up in advance as she pulled herself up
the steep embanllment to get on to the
track. With an oath / opened every
thing again, but as | did so Maggie
threw up her hands and dropped il
dead faint by the track and | stopped
off everything again, for | felt sure
that something was wrong. I had half
an hour or so leeway between trains
and | took Maggie up as quickly as
could to find out what was the matter.
She came around mighty soon, because
she had tainted from overeNcrtion, and
she told me how a big bowlder had
fallen on the track in a curve near her
house that | wouldn't have seen till it
was too late to stop and she had run
across the spur of the mountain to stop
me in time if she could.
''That's what she was trying to do
when her red head shone like danger
signal and stopped me. Later the own
ers of the stock gave her money enough
to buy Il nice little house at Hinton and
six months later | moved in. We've got
the house yet, bat we don't live in it.
concluded the engineer, ''for it wasn't
big enough for a family of six children
and not red-headed one in the lot.

Freedom Brought Consumption.

The boon of emancipation from
slavery is said to be responsible for the
great increase in tubercular diseases
and insanity among the negroes OF the
southern states. While they lived in
slavery the negroes were compelled to
live sober and regular lives. but with
freedom their natural impulse to ex-
cesses asserted itself and they plunged
without restraint into vicious and riot
Gus habits. They have consequently
developed highly nervous consump-
tive and alcoholic diathesis, which
makes them easily susceptible to dis
eases from which formerly they were
free They are for the most part un-
able to withstand exciting causes, and
insanity is greatly on the increase
among them. Mortality returns show
that the rate of death from tuberculosis
among southern negroes is three times
as high as that among the whites

LEFTOVER Eggs,

In making cake that requires the
whites of eggs only one is sometimes at
loss what to do with the yolks. A
good housekeeper says that she uses
them to beat up and dip bread into
which is to be fried for the children's
lunch. Mayonnaise dressing is anoth-
er article that takes yolks of eggs, and
very good custard or pudding may be
made from the yolks alone. One woman
beats the yolk of one egg and very
slowly stirs it into the milk that is to
be heated for coffee. They may be used
with ham or other meats to make ONE
lette, or to make gravies richer. a yel-
low cake may be made of yolks, and a
very excellent frosting is made from
them. Golden custard with bits of left
over cake is delicious as dessert, Rice
made into balls and dipped in yolk Of
eggs is very relishable.-N. Y. Ledger.

ExACTING DISCIPLINE.
The Cruel Severity of IN Unmercfful
Father,


Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhood, the victim of a severe
and cruel discipline. His father was Il
man of ungovernahle teGuver and il
regular life who had no sympathy WITH
childish 70 bles, and whose only idea
Of eGu2ating boy was to make a man
of HIM
His method of teaching Il lad to ride
was to accompany him on vicious
black horse, and when little Philip
erred in any of the observances of goo
riders, to punish him with his heavy
hunting whip. The whip had ii &;csI
hammer at the end of Il long handle.
and if at any time the owner farvIe'-
that the child was turnin" "ut HIS toes
he would not say anything. but VITA
cruel dexterity heal him a blow OH the
foot, sharp enough to make him wrlthe
with pain.
Yet this Spartan severity had its val
liable side The elder Hamertnn I'M
derstood the Importance of coHctntra
ton, and if he saw the boy occupied
with several books, would say:
"Take one of those books and reaG
it steadily. Don't potter and play with
half Dozen"
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow of lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes pun
ished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumb-bells Is minutes
every morning. This exercise was
taken in the garden, but before begin
ring he always looked at the clock in
the sitting-room. One day the father
met him and asked:
Have you done your Is minutes?"
Eyes, papa"
"That is not true" said his aunt, from
the next room. "He has only practiced
for ten minutes; look at The clock"
The hand stood at ten minutes past
IL; and though the boy protested that
he had begun at ten minutes before the
hour, the additional lie Put his father
in fury. and he was ordered to prac-
tice continually for two hours. And
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 120minutes were
over, not one of them was remitted.-

1T WAS MARIE's MIRROR.
No Wonder Hubby Looked a Little
Pale.

Young Mr. Smithers, having eaten an
excellent dinner, sat down to smoke a
good cigar while his wife ran upstairs
to make her toilet for the theater.
So peaceful was his state of mind that
he did not even look accusingly at his
watch when, after the promised min
ute" had developed into so, she entered
the room.
Seems to me you are looking very
nice tonight, my dear" he remarked.

ration than that of anyone else. Be

good enough?'
"N-not quite, my dear. Besides. I
earned the money for this one myself"
But how did you earn"
ooh, after you left, fell to thinking
what a lot of money S25 was to spend
upon birthday present for Marie,
when l really needed so many things.
Then an idea, struck me. l remem-
bered all those pretty things | found
in our big trunk after we were married
the ones that horrid girl, whoever she
was, sent back when the engagement
was broken. 1 wouldn't have one of
them myself, but it seemed pity for
them to lie there, so went upstairs and
looked them all over. | selected that
lovely silver backed mirror and cleaned
it up until it looked jnst like new; and
then /"
Sold it to buy dress. Isee!'
Nothing of the kind. I bought the
dress with the money you gave me.
The mirror sent to Marie with our best
wishes. Won't she be surprised, and
why, Freddie, are you ill?"
''Not at all, my dear. You are quite
right; Marie will, no doubt, be much
surprised, for, you see, she herself was
the girl who returned those presents

ointments cannot understand why they
grow worse each winter, and find them

around as they once could; yet they

attracted their attention.i

was first felt in her left shoulder, and
extended in all directions, increasing
in severity. The doctors said the dis

time, in which event death would be
inevitable.
"Every kind oftreatmeut recommend
ed for Rheumatism was given her,
including many blood remedies, but
none did her any good. She was grow
ing worse all the while, and was reduced
to mere shadow of her former self.
