TWO Killed and Several Injured in Altoona
Disaster.

Altoona, Pa, Jan. "a gang of 26
track repair men were working on the
railroad at the western opening of the
Galltzin tunnel today when they heard
the approach of a locomotive, which
was running west through the tunnel.
They stepped from the north track on
which west-bound trains move to the
south track. The smoke in the tunnel
prevented them from seeing the ap-
preaching locomotive, which in order
to avoid distractions on the north
track, was running on the south track.
One man was instantly killed; one died
in the Altoona hospital, and 16 were
more or less seriously injured.
None escaped without injury. The
dead are: David Wilt, aged 40, instantly
killed: Thomas Sanker, aged rs, d:ed in
hospital. The more seriously injured
are: H. c. Hull, gang foreman, ankle
broken; George Smith, aged %, left leg
broken; George Guyer, arm and nose
broken; Henry Burkin, arm broken.
Galltzin is the home of all the men.

Gov Roosevelt Has Received But Five
Bills Thus Far.

Albany, N. y. Jan. 29.-Thus far but
and but two have become laws. This
is despite the fact that the Legislative
session is nearly one month old, and
that Gov. Roosevelt has been urging
members to get their local legislation
out of the way of party measures ex-
pected later in the session. Up to date,
but 230 bills have been introduced in
the Senate and but 400 in the assem-

years, which either failed of passage
or of executive approval. A great num-
Der have also been duplicated in each
House, leaving less than 200 new laws
proposed In the assembly tomorrow

In regard to frozen trees, the Kansas
station advises: Trees that are killed
should be removed at once from the
orchard. Trees that are partly top
killed are weakened and deadened
throughout and should be heavily cut
back, the extent depending upon the
degree of injury. In many cases it will
be necessary to cut back to the main
branches or even to the trunk, but
where the injury is less severe the cut
ting may be confined to the smaller
branches OF the trees. Though the
branches Of an injured tree may not be
killed, it is advantageous to cut them
back. because the wood that is Drowned
and deadened can never perform its life
functions again. 1t becomes as heart
wood and must be inclosed by layer
of new wood. The quicker we can get
this deposit OF new wood the better,
and the more of it the better. By cut
ting off the branches Of the tree it is
reduced in surface and the new wood is
more rapidly deposited on the parts
that remain. The energy that is spent
in blossoming is also saved to the tree,
SO as to restore the tree quickly to its
normal process of growth.

Dear Aunt Madqe:

Your remarks in the paper of two weeks
ago caused by the letter from IS. j. :" in
reference to the poem Dare to do Right"
mboldens me to say that which | felt
might appear rude to az" should en-
phatically assert that was sure the poem
consisted of four, and think five stanzas
We have now the first and last verses, and
l think if we do not get weary we shall
soon have the entire poem. Parts of the
other stanZas are as follows:
Dare to do right; dare to be true,
No matter what others may say of you"
and the second line OF another verse is
"Other ones failures are nothing to you"
Your story in reference to the minister's
telling the chorister to s'sing what there
be then" of the hymns, partially recalled
to my mind an amusing story, but as had
not thought of it for years, found l could
not repeat it. So went to the old gentle
man who first told it to me, and who is
now nearly ninety years of age and ex-
planned to him my dilemma and told him
! wanted to send the story to Aunt
Madge". He said he would tell me the
story on condition that would substitute
the words Evil One" for the other cogno-
men in the last sentence of the story; SO
we compromised the matter. Here is the
story:
Long before kerosene was used in Maine
the lights were of pitch knots and fish oil,
lighted. Ii was customary for the minis
ter to lead the two Sunday services, and
one of the deacons to lead the evening
meeting. Neither lights nor books were
plentiful in that church. The leader
would repeat one line of hymn, and the
congregation would sing it, then anot her
line and SO on to the end of the hymn.
The deacon's eyesight was poor or his
glasses were not good fit, and always
after announcing the hymn he would re-
move his glasses and with his thun and
forehnger give each lens vigorous rub
bling.
One Sunday evening some Joker man
aged to let a drop of grease fall on ne
middle of each lens of the deacons glasses
He adjusted his glasses, announced a
hymn, then removed his glasses and CAV,
them more vigorous rubbing than usual
He then proceeded, apparently as usual:
"My eyesight's getting very dim,"
the congregation sang it;
"And now | cannot see at all"
again the congregation sang it;
81 believe the people are bewitched,"
and they also sang that but when he
added,
"And the evil one Is In Us ALL"
the congregation hesitated before singing
it, and i'll the silence the deacon cootIy re-
moved his glasses, put on his hat and left
the meeting house. But no one ever said
who dropped the lard on the deaco1I;s
glasses. Very truly yours,
Cranberry Isles. July p. MRS. r.
Yes, Mrs. R., you have eclipsed my min
lster story. AUNT MADGE.
