GRIT OF A WESTERN WOMAN.
Long Ride of Mrs. West. of Seattle,
with n Broker Rib and Knee.

WIN II DrOkcn KID ana Knee.
Few men possess such grit and de-
termination as Mrs. West, of Seattle.
Wash, is endowed with. Recently
while riding her wheel she met with an
accident in which she sustained n
broken rib, a split knrecap. a painful
wound on the face and the loss of four
teeth. Thus sorely disabled she pluck
lily remounted the bicycle and rode 20
miles to her home.
1t all came about from being too am
bilious to ride down hill. She was an
expert bicyclist and had coasted down
so many hills that she had long since
ceased trying to keep any account of
them. 1t is claimed she would bow only
to the noted Mrs. Rinehart, of Denver,
as her superior in the conduct of the
wheel. The road near Lake Washing
ton where Mrs. West and a friend were
taking a little spin had been hit in the
middle with n stone of considerable size
and the stone had remained where it
had struck. Mrs. West dismounted
when she reached the crest of the hill,
but the prospect of coasting was too al
Turing to be foregone for the safer. but
more laborious, alternative of walking
down. She again bestrode the wheel
and started back-pedaling down the
grade.
Unfortunately she failed to observe
the rock in her pathway, with the result
that the front wheel of the bicycle col
lided with it and threw the rider over
the handle bars several feet forward
into the road. She lay unconscious for
some time. Her friend, upon reaching
her, found her injured as above de.
scribed and was hopeless of getting her
home or to a place where relief might
be summoned. It was a desperate sit
uation. Then it was that true western
grit came to the rescue. Rising to her
feet, the disabled heroine painfully got
upon her wheel and, almost fainting
and covered with blood, rode slowly
back to her home, a distance of 20 miles.
She is progressing favorably, but it is
doubtful whether she will ever be able
70 ride again.-Chicago Chronicle.

IRON HORSE IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Great Strides in Railway Building
the Past Few Years.

Great Strides in Railway Building
the Past Few Years.
Railway activity in South Africa is
of comparatively modern origin, but
in the course of a few short years it
has been pushed on with almost fever
ish haste, so that at the present time
the iron horse has actually entered Bull
awayo, and there is serious talk of ex-
tending the system to the once mys-
FERROUS Zambesi. Although we finally
succeeded the Dutch as rulers in the
Cape Colony in 1906, it was not until
1859 that the first railway was COM
menced, and extensions went on slowly
till the discovery of diamonds in Girl
qualand West gave an impetus to trade
and traffic in South Africa. Even then
the railway halted for years at a sleepy
town on the edge of the silent Karroo
known as Beaufort West, and thence
the journey had to be made to Kimber-
ley according to the means or tastes Of
the passenger, by post cart, with driv-
ers reckless of life and limb; the lum-
bering stage coach or prairie schoon-
er" drawn by vicious mules or slumber-
JUS oxen.
There are many prosperous city men
and even millionaires-still in the
prime of life who well remember that
awful journey across the veldt from
Beaufort West-the glazing heat by
day, the cold by night, the lurching
vehicles. the whirling sand as it came
adown the breeze, the scanty provi-
sions, the miserable "outspans," and
at last the sounds of distant dynamite
explosions which bespoke the
of the city of dust and diamonds. The
military operations in B~echuanaland
led to the continuation of the line, with
the active assistance of the home gov
eminent, right up to Kimberley.
Meantime the agricultural districts
of the Cape Colony had been opened mp,
thanks mainly to the pressure which
the farmers brought to bear on the gov
eminent of the day, and in 1890 the gold
discoveries in the Transvaal led to an
other squirt in railway building. Some
of the short lines at the cape pass
through very beautiful scenery, such
as those which run through the pine
clad slopes of Wynberg. and away in
the other direction to Sea Point-the
Brighton of the cape-but for grandeur
few in the world can compare with the
railway which climbs the barrier range
OF the Hex River mountains. The line
ascends by wonderful curves and zig
gags, giving the passengers fearsome
views of the depths below, with the
nesting farms and vineyards of the
fertile valley. Capped with snow, the
surrounding mountain peaks, some Of
them 5000 feet high, present a grand
appearance; and engineering skill has
pierced through perpendicular rocks
by means of cuttings and tunnels. The
history otrailwav extension in South
Africa is a~ssu-cdly a omanc Of real
life.-London Chronicle.

PURE GOLD FROM EARTH.

Within this chrysalis in silence lies
A homely, ~haggard, but acute SUNRISE
For though its tenant once could only Green
AND crawl herein to hibernate and sleep.
He carries in his shell of crinkled rings
An angels raiment and an angels wings.
How oft it happens that we fail to read
This lesson among men when they have
need
OF helpful faith in crude, unlovely youth,
When naught is visible except the truth
That underneath eXteriors rough NAV hide
The souls furled wings sometime to open
wide.
The lessons of all time by men ignored,
The fact forgotten that truth can afford
To keep its shell, its genius roughly hid,
Till time and circumstance ope wide the
lid,
And let the radiant tenant grardly rise,
Eagle or angel, to the upper skies.
Within yon urchin's pauper rags may lie
The soul whose songs may touch the stars
on high,
The statesman who m mold this world
anew,
The priest or prophet of unhampered
view,
The author who may shape a million minds,
The scientist to unroll natures blinds,
Revealing secrets of all depths and kinds.
Regard the homely chrysalis with awe,
Contemplate with barred brow Gods mighty
law.
Which from stern Pharaoh's slaves His
leaders drew,
From Nazareth the Christ who made anew
A lost worlds hope, salvation precious,
priced.
Heavens kings were those by earth n
men despised.

RevaccinntIon of Children.

\ Polish Psychologist, DR.. Jasiewicz,
has gathered together some statistics
which seem to show that the immunity
from vaccination in infancy lasts a
much shorter time than is commonly
supposed. In the East of 90 children
under six years of age vaccination was
successfully performed in seven-35 per
cent. Jasiewicz, therefore, recon-
mends more frequent revaccination in
childhood, and especially in early child
hood. He believes that it protects
from other infectious diseases rs well
as variola.-Chicago Tribune.

Nurse Ruth was going off duty for
the afternoon when the house surgeon
called her. While she put on her black
bonnet and the long coax that almost
hid her gown of liIac-sprigged print,
she looked at herself and stopped tying
her bonnet to think. After %frowning
at her reflection for a moment she
laughed. Then her changing mood
grew critical of herself. She sighed and
thought really seriously

4 HiIlOck of Romantic Traditions
Tint Is Being Carried Awny.

AhNl rs eih SaEtCu away
y part of historical Long Island
about which more romance than his
tory centers is being destroyed to fur
nish earth for the causeway from Co.
roma to the Flushing bridge. This is
h atloamy promontory extending from
jackson avenue, just outside of Flush
ing, known as st. Romans well, from a
deep well which is on the property. AS
long ago as there is any record of the
place it was marked for romance's very
own for history says that Rev. Francis
Doughty came into possession of the
property as part of Il grant of 10000
acres from Gov. Kieft in 1912, and fur
thermore hat Rev. Francis had a beau
tiful daughter, who waS wooed and won
by DIR. Nanderdonk, a Yonker or Dutch
gentleman, and. because the young low
ers used to sit by the well in the period
of their courtship, hat and the sur
rounding property were given to the
bride as a dowry. 1t got the name of
Ionkcr Island.
After DIR. Nanderdonk's death his
widow married Hugh O'Neale, and
their descendants fled the place when,
in revolutionary times, Yonkcr island
was occupied by the British. There
were rumors then of 4 murder and Il
ghost which haunted the old well.
Again rumor takes up the tale a quar-
ter of n century later. when, it is said,
n French exile of noble blood came to
live there with his daughter. n girl of
extraordinary beauty. She became the
aflianced bride of an American. Short
ly before the date set for their mar
riage st. Ranan CARLYLE. n young Eng
lishman, was Il guest there. He fell
madly in love with the girl, and upon
her refusal to desert her fancee and
fy with him he cast her into the well
and shot himself. This gave to the place
the name of st. Romans well.
In later years it figures moro pro-
s~aically. 1t became Il picnic ground,
and city sweethearts dropped stones
into the well and made wishes. George
Siddons and Barry the Kid fought a
famous prize fight there. Ex-Gov.
Prince. of New Mexico. and John Hig-
gins. of Flushing. bought the proper
ty, intending to sell the rich loan for
agricultural purposes. the sand for
building purposes. and then, the pro-
montory being leveled. cut up the land
into building sites. But the scheme
was a failure and the property passed
from their possession. Since then this
plan has been in part carried out.-N

Men Who Buy Fine Custom Shoes.

Next to the men of unlimited means,
who buy whatever they want without
regard to cost, the best customers of
the makers of the finest custom shoes
are men of comparatively moderate
means: men with incomes ranging
from, say $4,000 to $1,000 a year and up
ward. The man of unlimited means
buys, perhaps. n dozen pairs of shoes
in a year, costing from $12 to SIS a pair.
The man of comparatively moderate
means buys, it may be, not more than
half a dozen pairs in a year. BY never
wearing the. same pair of shoes on sue
ceediDg days, and by keeping his shoes
when not worm always freed, he keeps
them in perfect order, and so INDUCES
his taste for the finest of footwear On a
comparatively moderate expenditure.
The great majority of men nowadays,
however, rich and poor, buy their shoes
readymade.-N. Y. Sun.

came into her thoughts; she was only
conscious of restlessness and stir. Pres
emily her eyes caught sight of a white
butterfly that few above a barrow of
flowers, which was being slowly pushed
along the pavement's edge, with gay
carelessness strange enough in that
crowded place. Once this white bit of
life futtered upward high and higher,
as though to reach the gray ti.aments of
cloud that streaked the blue sky be-
tween the roof tops; then in some
vague, sad way she associated herself
with it. for she knew it must soon be.
crushed beneath thousands of hurrying
feet, and she longed to take it out of
Fleet street and to give it freedom in
some fresh-mown country field.
