The st. Louis express on the Wa
bash railway, which left Kansas City,
Saturday evening, plunged through a
trestle at Missouri City, Mo-, at FIVE
minutes after seven o'clock, carrying
down the entire train with the ex-
ception of the rear car, the Pullman.
The gorge which few hours previ-
ously was practically empty had be-
come a raving torrent because of a
tremendous downpour of rain, and
the structure weakened. Seven per-
sons are known to be dead and the
list may reach twenty. FIVE.

while swimming in the Antietam
creek near Funkstown, Sunday after
noon. He was not an expert swim

about an hour after he sank. His

On Signing Ones Name.

do tell the women" begged a lady
of great wealth the other day. tell the
women never to sign a paper the con-
tents Of which they do not fully under
stand. In the sorrow and excitement
of a certain hour, l put my name to a
document which placed my money and
my affairs at the mercy of a money
changer for a dozen years. Had only
told him that would think 1t over be-
fore signing, I should have had fewer
sleepless nights and fewer gray hairs.
never tell me this"
To think over a paper, or at least to
read it carefully before signing! This
precept should be taught every girl
and woman as the alphabet of business
affairs. Many things may be safely
left her to learn by experience, but not
this. Too often It means her gentle
acquiescence in a mans "Sign here" /"
with a consequent adoption Of other
persons obligations or the abrogation
Of her own perquisites and property.
A persons signature. standing before
the law for ones self, IL entitled to
proper respect; and how to sign IL
scarcely less important than what not
to sign. Everybody should adopt and
cling to the use of a certain style Of
autograph. Women should use their
Christian names, never their hus-
bands, and omit Mrs. or Miss as pre-
fix. A signature should never be left
carelessly on pieces OF blank paper
where INSCRIPTIONS use might be made
of 1t, and 1t should be distinctly legi-
BILE
A woman should learn also to re-
spect the signature Of those Of even
her nearest kin. Messenger-boys say
that they are daily asked by ladies II
they shall sign their own or their hus-
bands names on receipt books. The
New York Tribune recently portrayed
a pretty bride with no practical knowl-
edge of a check-book. The deliverer Of
a choice piece of bric-a-brac had in
sisted on payment at the door. The
young woman explained that evening
to her husband that as she had fortu-
nately remembered how he had drawn
a check the previous day. and where
he had left his check-boOk, she made
one out for the merchant, adding:

1t was while Henry Liddell was head
master Of Westminster School that his
fame began to extend as the author of
a Greek lexicon, published a few years
before. One day he told the boys in his
class that they must write an English
epigram.
Most of the scholars declared the task
to be impossible. Doctor Liddell in
sisted that they were wrong. 1t was
not impossible. Each scholar might
choose his own subject, but epigrams
must be written. This was what one
boy produced:
