Railway Accident Near Torres.

About fl i've o'clock Monday afternoon locomotive of the Torres & Prietas railway which was backing out ton the Realito branch of that road to bring in a trainload of wood from Palo Pa rado was derailed and turned over, killing a young man about nineteen year, of age, named Federico Dyek, and boy about ten years Of age named Luis Madrigales. Dyek was a fireman on the railway, but was lay. ing off, and was deadheading over the road on the locomotive. The boy was in no way conn ected with the road, and had no right whatever upon the engine. As soon as possible a special train was sent to the scene of the wreck, and the remains of the two un- iortunates were taken into Torres and given burial at the expense of the company.
 The cause of the derailment of the locomotive IS unknown, but 1t is sup posed to have been due to spreading fOf the rails, owing to the roadbed having softened from heavy storm which had O cured within couple of hours Three hours before a train of ten cars, loaded with wood, had passed over the same place in safety. After that the storm had occurred and a great deal of water had fallen Z The crew of the wrecked engine es- capped with few scratches. The ten' der left the rails first, turning over on one side of the track and crushing the two boys beneath it. The loco. motive went over on the other side ct the track.
 The authorities held the usual in vestigation and absplved the company from all blame.

were grouped four wine glasses, the
colors of which were respectively,

corresponding hue, of which each
guest indicated to the waiter his or

"DARE TO BE A DANIEL"
A Sweethearts AdmOnitiOn Saves a
Young rIun in the Hour of Sore
Temptation.

The son of president of one of our
Oldest and most prominent eastern
colleges was about leaving his native
town for Paris to enter upon a spe-
cial course in surgery. He had just
attained his majority, and the sim
plicity and freshness of his boyhood
still lay upon his soul. Many of his
comrades had gathered at the depot
to wish him bon voyage, among whom
was his sweetheart. The last good
bys had been uttered when, obeying
an impuio,, she sprang to his side
upon the platform, and bidding him
hold his ear to her lips, whispered:

THE ROCKING CHAIR.

What would they do without it
That creaky old rocking-chair.
That stands in the nursery corner?
It's treasure they couldn't spare.
For, excepting when mamma is rocking
The baby, who thinks it fun
Why, it isn't a chair; it's Dozen
A score of things all in one.
It's cozy family carriage,
With lamps and with trappings brave,
And little Johnnys the driver,
And Willy the footman grave.
It's steam-car, going to Boston,
Under management somewhat queer,
For WHY'S the small conductor,
And Johnny's the engineer.
It's ferry boat crossing the river
On a dreadfully foggy day,
With tootings through paper trumpets,
And collisions upon the way.
It's steamer sailing the ocean,
A hundred miles from land,
And Johnny's the mate, with a spyglass,
And Willy is in command
It's galloping horse. Would you think it
1t has been big balloon.
A-fioating so lightly and gayly,
way up to the sun and moon.
And the dreadfully creaky condition
That old rocking chair is in,
Is because of the wonderful journeys
And the manifold things it's BEEN

HEADGEAR FOR A SOUAw.
Woman Who Lost Her Hat Out of n

Year Later.

Talking of buying expensive hats"
said the New York woman, according
to the Sun reminds me of what hap
pened to cousin of mine. She was a
young widow with two children to edu-
cate. Her income being small, she went
to Chicago from her Montana home to
study art in order to open a studio her
self. The lessons were expensive and
when the time came for her to return
home she was short of money. How
ever, she saw hat in a shop window
that pleased her fancy. Of course it
was expensive; what pretty hat, isn't?
She knew the price was more than she
could afford, and for some days she re-
sisted the temptation to buy it. But

Another mode of treating the drink
habit is said to be in successful opera

announce that they have discovered a
new serum. OF 81 cases treated 80 were
cured and Is were improved, only ten
failing to show improvement. The Sc

been dosed with alcohol until their
systems are drenched with the poison.
When administered to patients the
serum revlves natural repugnance to
alcohol, which continued use has

in order to make complete word
Take the word field, square divided
into sections or lots, writes Frederic
Poole, in Ladies' Home journal. When
the word man is written by the word
field the combination makes the word
farmer, indicating the avocation of
man who is associated with fields and
agriculture. Still more suggestive is
the Chinese word for truth, sincerity,
faithfulness, honesty. 1t is formed by
the combination of a man and word,
thus expressing that one form of hon
esty consists in man standing by his
word The word for box is indicated
by square having four sides of equal
length, while a prisoner is literally
man in box, fact which is often
grewsomely illustrated in China when
a criminal is sentenced to death, and is
carried to the place of execution in a
square box.

They Feel It's Disgrace.

The business of selling liquor in this
country is looked down upon, and a
stigma rests upon the man who is en-
gagged in the business. The degree of
stigma may vary with the intelligence
of the community in which a person
who is a liquor dealer resides, but the
loss of caste is clearly observable and
you can't get away from it.-Liquor
