FAMILY PRIDE.

The sensitiveness of the families OF
distinguished men as to the early occu-
pations of their ancestors is somewhat
remarkable. Recently an author was
asked to write brief history OF the
life of man who bad done some SER
Give to his state. Like Lincoln, this
man had been wrodchopper, a fact
to which his historian gave prominence.
"Don't say he was "a wood chop

author.

HOW HE DIDIT.

Some of the British troops in the
Irish rebellion did not fight particularly
well. A certain general, at lord
lieutenant's party in Dublin, was ad-
monishing begging woman to leave
the place, when she said.--
at is 1 that am proud to see your
honor here in the red coat you wore
the very day when you saved the life
of my boy, little Nickel"

sorry to hear anything to his credit on
such distinguished occasion. ~ had
forgotten all about it. How did l
save his ife?"
"Wel', your honor, when the battle
was at it's hottest, your honor was the
first to run; and when me little Mickle
saw the general run, he ran, too, the
Lord be praised!"

LONG LOCOMOTIVE RUNS
FAVORED.
Chicago Rec0rd.)

Many railroad officials are indorsing
the practice OF long runs by locomotive S.
They claim that one engine can prac-
'tcally do the work of two engines un-
der the old system, and that the change
has brought aboGt economy in half n
dozen other matters. At the last meeting
Of the operating officials Of the Big Four
reports were presented which showed
successful results from the long runs,
both in passenger ana freight business
The through passenger trains on that
road are all run from terminal to ter
minal with one engine. Many freight
trains on each division have also been
experimental WITH and in most cas4s
the plan has worked well. Changes or
crews are made at divisional points.
but 1t has been found that less money
needs to be TIED UP in equipment when
the engines are made TO do double SER

IT CANNOT BE,

II cannot be that he who made
This wondrouS world for our deligh t,
Designed that all its charms should
fade
And pass forever from our sight;
That all shall wither and decay,
And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF all its beauty and its bliss
1t cannot be that all the years
or TOT: and care and grief we live,
SEnll iird\no recompensc but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us to aspire
And struggle onward to achieve,
With every unattained desire
Was given only to deceive. :
1t cannot be that after all
The mighty ccruuests OF the mind,
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And ltuvc no record here behind;
That all our dreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away.
All that cnthrallcd this mortal frame,
Shall not return some other day
1T cannot he that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs;
That no sercner light shall break
~ last upon our mortal eyes.
To guide us as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage to Paradise.
