| In November 1t will be new moon or

a chance to show the faint outlines OF
her disk before Jupiter will have dis
covered her, and the two will be il

Luna and Venus are at their closest

after this Mars is encountered. This
| meeting is followed an hour later by
| one with Mercury, and eight hours
still later comes Uranus turn.
| This shows the planets, with the ex-
| ception of Neptune, grouped to-
| gether, as though about to bic
good-by to Jupiter, who, on the 18Th

pear somewhat later the most brilliant
ornament of the morning sky.
On the 10th the moon will reach the
phase of first quarter, on the 18th that
of full, while last quarter will occur
the 25th. Jupiter has now about made
up his mind to disappear from view,
and ON the 18th he reaches conjunction
with the sun. and enters the realm of
morning stars. where, as the year
closes the observer will find him up
two hours or more before the sun,
busting night shadows from tne dawn
and polishing up the days mirrors to
reflect the suns rays.
Mercury moving to the eastward

30th there is another and closer corr
junction between Mercury and Mars

hours later, while the elusive one of
the brotherhood has q similar expert

Mercury and Venus are extremely
close together on the 26th while on the
30th there is another and closer con-
junction between Mercury and Mars.
This time both planets are moving in
the same down-hi1l direction toward
the sun. Mars and Uranus are in con-
junction on the 18th, at which time the
latter outstrips the former on their
way to the goal. Fair Venus, whose
lovely presence once more gladdens
the twilight hour. is above the horizon
about an hour and a quarter after the
sun has set and extends the astrono-

with Uranus ON the 18th, when the two
almost touch one another then two
days later with Mars, a still closer
meeting, and one which can be seen,
and then on the Goth an interesting en-

Uranus on the 30th passes from an
evening star to join the banner or

after the new year has come
Neptune until the 18th Of the month
has the honor of being the sole repre-
sentative of the morning galaxy of
nlliants, at which date he yields lcapP
brilliants, at which date he yields
place to Jupiter. Saturn and Venus are
fairly close on the 9th, and if clear
one will find it of interest to watch
them gradually separating as the
former continues to move toward CON
junction with the latter to her extreme
eastern elongation.

A Conductor Stranded In the Woods, with
His Train Divided.

81 wanted to 90 to Mars Hill, said
the drummer, "and man at Houlton
said that the train would leave Houlton
late in the afternoon and reach Mars
Hill early in the evening. Along with
a lot of other unfortunates equally anx-
ious to get up the line, got into the
stiffling car and waited. Supper time
came and went-no start. Apassenger
went out to investigate and found hat
in some unaccountable way the engine
had pulled away with the freight cars
and left the caboose standing on the
track. Some one had forgotten 10
shack!e it, we were told.
"'But, you'd all better wait, said the
yardman. They won't get far before
they'll miss the car and come back
"But, as we learned afterward, the
conductor got on board the engine at
Houton station and rode away, sup
posing the caboose was securely shackled
behind. About twenty miles up the
line he dropped off the engine on a
grade when the train was running slow
ly, intending to catch on to the caboose
when it came along. But to his amaze
ment when the end of the train swung
past him there was no cabooSe to climb
upon, and the train ratified on, leaving
him standing there upon the track. The
engineer, supposing that the conductor
had got safely on board at the grade,
let out little and sped away.
"The conductor hardly knew in which
direction to go, but while he was slowly
plodding on north construction train
came along through the darkness and
he managed to stop it. The engineer
unshackled, and with the conductor set
| off to chase the runaway train, blowing
the whistle furiously to attract the at
tention of the engineer ahead. After a
six-mile pursuit, the freighr train was
| held up and the situation was reviewed.
There didn't seem to be any other way
except to return for the missing caboose,
as all hands supposed it had broken
loose from the train somewhere along
the line after they left Houlton.
so they backed slowly, mile after
mile, looking sharply for the car and
moving cautiously for fear Of running
upon it on some curve. Finally they
poked into the yard at Houlton, and
there their car stood on siding. The
passengers were still waiting, which
fact indicates that the divine virtue OF
patience is not extinct in Aroostook by
any means. 1t was then after mid
night, but the train pulled out, and il
there had been any sextuple drawbars
oxchains or any other hitching con-
trivances handy, the conductor would
have used them all in tying on that ca.
5oose. ."-LeWiStOn Journal

The John Nj. Smyth Co. Have No
Agents.

The well-nerited popularity Of the
great mail order establishment OF the
John NJ. Smyth Co. of Chicago seems to
have induced 'unsCrupulous parties TO go
through the country and falsely represent
themselves as sales agents for this house
BY thus representing themselves they
have succeeded in imposing upon many
by selling goods and taking cash and
notes from victims who actually believed
they were purchasing goods from the
representatives of the firm direct. The
John Nj. Smyth Co. have no agents and
denouncc as frauds all parties travelling
through the country and claiming to rep.
resent the firm. The public should be on
the lookout for such impostors.

Northern Pacific branch are two en-
gines and nineteen cars loaded with
steel. In houses near by are the dead
bodies of Engineers Arthur X. Balm
and John A. Ogden, Fireman Earl
Bradshaw and Brakeman A. Bulge, all

ane, was fatally injured. The train
was an extra with loads of steel for
the Northern Pacific extension. The
rails were covered with ice and snow,
and in descending the long grade lead
ing into Kendrick the train became
uncomfortable and dashed madly
down n steep grade. A mile and a
half east of Kendrick four cars were
ditched and the track torn up for a
quarter of mile. When the rest of
the flying train struck the yards the
engines and all the cars were dltched
and completely wrecked and the track
torn up for 200 yards.
