A few years ago when Evangelist
Moody was preaching in the slums of
a large city he was delayed in leaving

Terror Bluff Over.

ST. PIERRE, Martinique. May l6.-
The Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
Terror which was left here ostensibly
for repairs is now in good condition and
will sail this afternoon, destination un-
known. 1t is the general opinion that
the Terror was left here .for some
strategic purpose, which is probably to
watch the United States ship Harvard
which is supposed to be in the vicinity.
The Terror is one of the fastest ships
in the Spanish navy and if she meets
the Harvard there is apt to be Il no,

In his garden may be found nearly every

things IN the garden is a wild plum

that is now tasting and which will,

nentIng TIE Railroads,

Aberdeen Democrat: Two young men
who passed through Aberdeen Wednes-

travelling over the railroad lines just as
fast as the cars will take them and with
out paying any fare.
The fastened together two bicycles
with a wooden frame work which kept
tie wheels rigid and upright at just the
same distance apart as the two rails Of a
railroad are. Small rubber wheels were
placed at the side Of the framework so
that they would run along the inside OF
the rails and keep the bicycles properly
upright. Each bicycle was mounted by
a rider and driven along on top the rails
at a remarkable rate of speed.
The young men started at Madison
just behind the Milwaukee train which,
started out at Z O'Clock in the morning
and they made tho entire distance to
Aberdeen. one hundred and forty miles,
in n day. They made the distance Of
one hundred and seven miles from aiadl.

did anS stopped and took their meals
just like the passengers in the train.
One of the young men was bound for
Cakes at which point they expected to
separate, tile other continuing his jour
ney to Darlington, North Dakota.
The machine they had wa a crude one
but proborly developed would no doubt
prove a wonder.

another through his left leg, but neither
