Fearless Men.

There is condition possible to some
few souls that if not really the highest
attribute of humanity would be chosen
by most men of noble mold were selec-
tion possible. 1t is the unawed tran
quilhty, the absolute inability to fear,
that some men, not many, possess, or
rather, one should say, by which some
men are possessed. An instance Of such
courage on a low plane is that Of Po-
temkln kicking aside the bloody head
Of his predecessor as he stepped to the
block, an act almost indelicate enough
to be humorous, yet withal significant
Of an iron nerve.
Somewhere in the late seventies an
other Russian, but this time a savant.
gave a proof Of what length q rapt in
tensity Of purpose will carry a man to.
In order to make good his theory that a
suicide may be deliberate and unrepent-
ing he subjected himself to hideous tor
ture, ending i'll death, but under such
circumstances that he might have re-
linquished his design at any stage of
its progress. He lay on his back upon a
bedstead from which he had stripped
all the clothing, with a lamp placed un.
derneath him so that the flame Just
touched his spine, rising at intervals to
make notes, which were afterward pub
lished. They show a calm spirit of re-
search and are slightly triumphant in

Thought the CONDUCTOR Shot an Angel.

An engineer running over the PAN
handle branch Of the Santa Fe is some-
what superstitious and believes in
warnings.
One night he was rolling along at y
good rate Of speed, when he saw clear
white light, like a will-o' o'-the-wisp,
dancing around just over the track few
hundred feet in front of him. He shut
off steam and came to a stop as quickly
as he could. The conductor and train
crew came running up to the engine to
see what was the matter.
"There is some one swinging a Ian
tern across the track" said the en-
gineer, and the crew went ahead to in
vestigate.
"We can't find any one," reported
the rear brakeman, and the engineer
pulled out again, but he went slowly,
and in few minutes he stopped again.
The crew went ahead once more to see
what was the cause of the light. The
conductor, who was a good shot, drew his
revolver and at the second shot he made
at the mysterious light there was crash,
q scream and the light went out and
something white came futtering down
from the clouds.
The superstitious engineer was scared.
you've shot an angel, sure, he said
to the conductor, with his face pale as
death.
Investigation brought out the fact
that's small boy with lantern tied tC
the tail of his kite was the cause of il
all, but it leases the engineer to say any
thing about shooting angels TO

Queer Funeral Mistakes In Maine.

There have been some queer mistakes
made of all kinds, but this is one of
the most unusual and undesirable, al
though no real harm was done: A man,
one time prominent in professional life
of this city, died. He was a member Of
a certain society in this city, which
sent representatives to the funeral The
members of the organization were noti-
fed of the death Of their fellow mem
Der by postal cards sent out by the sec
retary. One of the cards was addressed
to and delivered at the late residence of
the dead member, inviting him to at
tend his own Obsequies.
A similar incident was, if anything,
worse. A member of a secret society
died and his fellows were notified of
his death and the time and place of the
funeral, as usual. A card was delivered
at the address of the dead man, directed
to him in his own handwriting. He
had been the secretary of the Organiza-
tion and had addressed sets of postal
cards to the members at his leisure.
When a member died, a set of the ad-
dressed cards were sent to the printer,
who printed the name of the deceased
member ON the back with the other
matter used i'll the notice. So when the
secretary died his assistant or successor
sent set of the cards to the printer,
so that the dead man was sent one ad-
dressed by his own hand. Portland

be open all night, and the quantity of

mometer. The morning tub should be

weakly should take a glass of milk and

Victoria and John Brown.

"Pol Manear" is a favorite cast near
BalmOral castle and was always held
as the special preserve of the late John
Brown, her majesty's personal attend
ant. John was an enthusiastic and in
veterate fisher, and often the royal
larder was indebted to his prowess for
its supplies of spring salmon when the
rods of the other fishermen failed to
bring them to the bank. 1t is authen-
tically reported among anglers on Dee
side that when the queen wanted John
he was Immediately at her call, except
when angling, and at such times she
studied not to disturb him. The tacit
understanding between them is said to
have arisen i'll the following fashion:
Her majesty one day sent an imperative
message to the river side, desiring John
to Immediately wait upon her.
"Tell her majesty, )" replied John, in
his usual Doric, THAT 1 am rinnin a
salmon and 1 Gamma come"
The messenger came back to him in
hot haste saying that the queen desired
to see him this very minute.
"Well, tell her majesty this time
that am rinnin salmon and ! Wilma

suicide of Ed Hunnsaker. chief dispatch

meagre. All that is known is the fact
that he went to his room took n revolver

the mans act aside from the fact that
he was occasionally the victim of morose
broodings and his self-dcstruction is prob
ably attributed to this fact.
