any Brewery the motor goes out on the
7 to the east and backs up to the depot.
Instead of doing so at this time the en-
gina went straight ahead while the car
turned up the \. resulting in both being
pulled from the track and p'owlng
through the ground, almost overiurning
the engine, but fortunately for the en-
giEeer not doing so. As the motor was
going slowly no serious result followed.
Upon examination it was found that the
switch had been turned and packed
with mu1. AS the engine passed upon
1t, it squshed the mud out, making il
spring to its place as the car reached it,
thus making one go on one trek and
the other on the other. Itmay and pos
sibiy was done as an April joke. II the
car had followed straight ahead there
would have been some one fooled; but
as it turned out it was clcse call 10 q
serious accident.

Poor
Blood

When a horse Is poor In flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. II a house Is cold
new furniture won't warm 1t.
If yoer strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden,
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft, If you arc pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor viii
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness viii
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
