fierce flames that speedily burned

filled with cider, setting them on fire.
As each barrel exploded with a boom
when burst by the fierce flames the con-
tents rushed out in torrents and extin-
guished the fire, but the cellar during
the confagration appeared like a minia-
ture cave Of hades. Immense volumes Of
sitting smoke rolled out of the cavity
and flashes Of fire shot forth, while the
boom of the bursting kegs and barrels
sounded like the rumblings of an empty

from personal observation and expert
ence that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
an admirable means of preventing and
remedying kidney and bladder com

constipation, sick headache, nervous
ness and nausea are all overcome by this
benefcent regulator and tonic. When

unrefreshing, a wineglassful shortly be-

much to remedy the difficulty.

His Construction of a Cabled Message
About His Work "sapho."
An amusing anecdote of the late AL.
phonse Daudet is told about the time
when "Sapho' was about to be pub
lished in America. This was about 1884,
when the novelist was at the height of
his fame. An American firm had about
completed arrangements, it is reported,
for publishing the new novel, and it
had received some of the first proofs, in
dicating the character Of the story. The
publishers Of many religious works con
cluded that it was not suitable for them,
and they cabled to Daudet as follows:
"Sapho quite impossible"
Daudet puzzled over the oablegram
for some time and then conferred with
his friends as to what it meant. Finally
they thought they understood, and he
cabled back this reply, "All right, spell
it with two p's." The American SPELL
ing of the proper name has two p's,
while the French has only one. 1t never
occurred to Daudet that the firm object

STOEGER'S r ACT.
Escaped From q Train Held Up by Ban
dts and Prevented a Collision.

Escaped From a Train Held Up by Ban
dts and Prevented a Collision.
From out of the wilds of New Mexico
comes a story Of thrilling adventure
that has for its hero A. f. Stoeger, a
we'll known st. Louisan, who left st.
Louis nearly two weeks ago for a trip
through Texas, Arizona and California.
Having completed his business in
Texas a few days ago, he boarded a
Southern Pacific train, known as the
"Sunset Limited" bound for Arizona.
His trip was without adventure until
his train pulled out of a place called
STEMS Pass, in the wilds of New Mex
leo, about midnight recently. The train
had gone but a short distance toward
the Arizona line when the engineer saw
a danger signal ahead and brought his
train to a stop. As the train stopped
several armed bandits came from am.
bush. Two Of them boarded the engine
and kept the engineer and fireman Gov
cred with their guns, while the others
made for the express car, keeping up a
fuslllade the while.
The shooting aroused the sleeping
passengers and badly frightened many.
Stoeger, divining the cause of the trou-
BILE, hurriedly dressed himself and slip
ped from the car. The robbers were too
busy battling with the express compa-
ny's guards to notice him, and he ran
some distance down the track in the
dark.
It is said that he journeyed about a
mile back Of the held up train, almost
beyond the sound of the robbers fusil-
lade, when he saw the headlight Of an
other engine approaching in the dark
ness 1t was on the same track al the
Sunset Limited, and he realized that
something must be done, and done
quickly. He hurriedly gathered together
a lot Of rubbish and old paper and, ap'
plying a match, oon had a fair sized
bonfire ablaze on the track. The signal
was effective. The rapidly approaching
train slackened its speed and Stoeger
climbed aboard. He related what had
happened a mile above, and the train
bore down cautiously on the scene.
When the two trains came within
hailing distance, the bandits had fed,
leaving one Of their number dead. Then
for the first time was it realized what
a heroic service Stoeger had performed.
But for his timely warning there was
every danger of the latter train crash
ing into the Sunset Limited, and many
lives would have been lost. It was a
dangerous undertaking for Stoeger, and
whatever his motive in leaving the train
attacked by the robbers the end branded
his action one of great heroism. st.
