An IMAGINATION Test,

Half dozen locomotive engineers had
been spinning yarns during the evening,
One of them had run down grade so fast
that his train had jumped the rails on The
side of short curve and struck them on
the other side without getting wheel off
the track. Another had jumped narrow
creek In the same way when he discovered
that the bridge was gone and 1t was i'm
possible to stop the heavy train in time
to avert disaster. third had kept just
ahead Of cyclone for 70 miles and then
had his train blown on the track Of a COM
peting road.

way, cultvates distinguished air and has
a horror of being considered in the sere

park recently, a rose adjoining the silk
faced lapel of his Prince Albert diamond

creased to a razor edge and his patent
feathers looking none the worse for an out

bowling swell and was pleased with the

took hasty review Of his wardrobe to see
if he could be responsible for the suppressed
hilarity. But he was all spick and span,
and resumed his mutterngs while he again
glued his eyes on the paper with satisfiA

Say. mister shouted an enterprising
newsboy who had just entered the car

passengers shouted, and the old man rang
the bell so hard that the motorman stood
