JUST SAVED FROM DEATH.
railway Engineer stops HIS Locomo-
tive After 1t Had Pinned
Down Two Men.

A thrilling incident occurred recent
ly at the b. & o. S. w. railroad bridge
over Hogan creek, Lawrenceb0rg, Ind.
Two men, reports the Cincinnati En-
quirer, named Hatch and Powell were
walking across the bridge when train
No. 4, known as the Newspaper Train,"
from st. Louis, came rolling down upon
them. 1t was too great distance from
end to end of the bridge for the men
to escape in that way, and to leap from
it meant fall of 60 feet and almost GER
tain death. TO lie down on each side of
the track was almost sure death, as
there was not room enough. In terror
the two men laid down by the side of
the rails. Frank Evans, the engineer,
saw the men and reversed his engine
with such promptness and applied the
brakes with such energy that the fly
ing trnin was brought TO n sudden
standstill. 1t was none too soon, for
when the engine stopped the two men
lay pinioned, bruised and bleeding, be-
meath the ponderous engine that held.
them fast in the very jaws of an i'm
pending death. Evans called out to the
helpless men: keep quiet, l will save
you," then slowly backed the train off
the imprisoned men and off the bridge,
so that they could crawl out of the reach
of further danger. Their clothes were
in rags, but their limbs were unbroken.

"MutiIat,onp of Trees.

A prefect in certain French town
issued declaration ordering severe
measures to be taken against divers ma
licious persons who amused themselves
by stripping the bark from the plane
trees bordering the public promenade.
"The trees thus mutIated," so ran the
nfiiche, present most pitiable APP
pearance," However, as, in spite of the
projects declaration, the "mutilation"
continued unabated, the worthy func-
tionary summoned his head clerk to
consult with him on the matter. There
upon the clerk informed him that, as
the plane trees themselves shed their
bark every year, It would be futile to
institute proceedings against such in
corrigible offenders. The clerk seemed
amused, but the project did not; the
notices were removed with more than
official dispatch,

IS NOT A WHISKY MEDICINE.

As the net was about to entangle him. the
fish rose into the air as a pheasant; but
the net followed as a falcon.
They We're now flying over the kings
palace, and as the falcon was about to
Pounce upon him, the peasant became a.
red apple, and rol.ed into the king lap
The king stared in amazement, but the
next moment he was even more asuonished
TO find in MS hand a knife
Just as he was going to cut the apple
1t spread out upon a cloth like a sack Of
mitet. Then the knife became a, hen, and
began to eat up the mihet. but the last
grain suddenly became a needle. and the
hen became a th-eaG IN the needles eye
Then the needle flew into the fire ana the
thread was consumed, when out OF the
IRE stepped the boy before the amazed
king. And when he had tod his story.
the king was 50 delighted with his clever
ness that he made him MS chief adT.ser.
OF course. all the other children were
freed at the death of the crnei magician.
and came to thank their preserver. But if
you want to know more Of the story you

from the army 1t Manila. where General
Otis and his troops are engaged IN be-
nevolent1y assimilating the incorrig5bie
Filiptnos There was god reason for the
deep interest which prevailed at Washing
ton. For dealy battle had just been
announced in which the American troops
had won decisive advantage over an
army of 2,0o0 natives
1t is a significant fact, however, that
the country at large is not profoundly
stirred by this important news. We take
it almost for granted that our brave sol
diers will whip the benighted followers
of Aguinaldo whenever they come in con-
tact with them Somehow or othed there
is not the exhilirat.on of mind over the
news of victory in this Philippine war
that there was over the things of sue
cess that came from Cuba last summer.
And yet there is the same American
bravery and pluck to-day the same re-
sourcefulness and self-eontrol. the same
devotion to duty, among the men who are
fighting their countrys battles in far off
Luzon, as we went wild over last July
when Skaters army was making its
glorious advance upon Santiago.

..Three weeks, SIR said the landlady
Three weeks to a day." replied the
Major-"three of the happiest weeks l
ever spent in a boarding house. In
those three weeks you have left moth
ing to be desired. To your untiring eff
forts am l indebted more than words
can express, and to crown all you hand
me a bill! | have relics and souvenirs
by the hundred. but among them all
not single article will appeal to me
as does this simple paper which an
nounces my Indebtedness to you to the
extent of $24. My dear Mrs. Roberts,
permit me to take your hand-permit
me. Likewise permit me to say that
this is one of the happiest moments Of
my whole life. To find someone who
trusts me-who has faith in me-who
depends upon my honor and integrity
brings moisture to my eyes and hap
piness to my heart. Notice the tender
pocketbook, to be added to the archives
in my office later on. A thousand years
from now. when you and I have long
been dust. it may be resurrected and
exhibited in museum as proof of
woman's trust in man in the year 1899"
But you owe for three weeks,
Major" said the embarrassed landlady.
''Three weeks, my dear woman
three weeks replied the Major, as
he tilted himself on heel and toes and
beamed upon her. But what to us
whether three weeks, three months or
three years? 1t is the sentiment we
must look at-that we do look at, and
that shall continue to guide and direct
us in future. Sentiment and business
cannot mingle. They must stand each
on its own ground. My three weeks
board bill was a matter of sentiment.
1t has been disposed of, and we will
advert to it no moreno more. And
now, having put sentiment aside and
covered it with the mantle of friend
ship, let us proceed to business"
.'All my boarders pay weekly, Major
Crofoot."
"Let us proceed to business. You
have been given to understand that l
speculated and promoted. So do. The
next bill you make out you can write
me down as Major Crofoot, G. P, which
means Grand Promoter of schemes and
enterprises, and likewise evolver and
originator of ideas to astonish the
commercial circles of the civilized
world You have heard of compressed
