Last Night.

About 3 O'Clock last night a man,
whose name was not learned. was badly
injured in the east end Of the Union Pa
cific yard and was removed to the coun-
ty hospital for medical treatment.
1t seems that two men, Colorado min
ers, who mad been working in Montana,
were returning to their homes and were
beating their way on freight trains.
They arrived in Cheyenne about dark,
and seeing the switch engine coupled
on a string of cars and start for the east
end OF the yards. they climbed up be-
tween two cars, evidently believing the
train was pulling out for the south. The
men were standing IN the bumpers and
when the slack ran back one Of them
| slipped and his left foot was caught be-
tween the d~rawheads. crushing it badly.
The injury will, in all probability, neces-
state amputation Of the foot.-Chey-

CHILDREN AND BLESSINGS.
Ceremony OF Grace Before Meals Puz-
Zles Many Children.

To a child Of tender years the cere-
mony Of grace before meals is always a
puzzling one, and many are the stories
told to illustrate the fact, says the CIeve-
land ~Plaindealer. When a certain young
married oma was a wee maiden she
was taken to visit a rural relative. There
for the first time, she heard a "bless-
ing" asked. When the family and the
visitors were seated about the table the
head Of the household drew his chair
back, and. looking down at his knees,
commenced a rather long grace. The
little girl stared at him in establishment
Then heg curiosity overcome her diff.
dence. and, clutching her mothers arm
| she cried:
Mamma. what's uncle reading on his
pants?"
a. small boy of a dozen or more years
ago, who is now an upper classman in
Adelbert college, is the hero OF another
blessing" story. He was familiar with
the operation. ba; no. with the orders.
Nevertheless, he tock it to be an i'm
portant adjunct to the business of eat
ing, and something which it wouldn't
be well to omit. One day when dinner
was announced the little boy and his
still younger sister fastened to the ia
BILE. Climbing into their chairs, the lit
tie girl at once reached forward and
grabbed a potato. The boy was horri-
fed.
"Ycu must wait until l say grace" he
sterniy said. Put that right back"
The little girl demurred. but the boy
seized the offending tuber and hastily
restored it to the plate. Then devout-
ly remarking. "Sh-h-h." he leaned over
his plate and said:
And now, oh Lord
l asked my mother for so cents
To see the elephant jump the fence,
He jumped so high
He reached the sky,
And didn't get back till the
Fourth Of July! Amenw
Then ne decorously paused a second
or two before looking up.

And react. ia its sweet domain
For little Eddie and bring him back
To my lonely home again;
My throbbing heart is heavy now
With yearnine strong and deep,
AS I smooth the curls of my only babe
And rock him once more to sleep.
They say the old chair is useless now,
IT'S creaking, and dull with age,
And must be forever put aside,
Like a welllearned, worn-out page.
But the old brown chair sings a song to me,
As it whispers of other years,
And is tells of the roughcned places
smoothed,
And murmurs of childish tears.
Yes, the old chair tells in an undertone.
In q voice so creaking and old,
or the comfort it gave through summers

As well as 10 winters cold;
How those little dependent lives were

Through their childish sorrows deep,
As IL did its best TO ease each pain,
