According to the Journal of German

According to the Journal of German
Engineers, the French railroad trains,
instead of the English, hold the first
place for speed, schedule time being
the basis for comparison. A regular
train between Paris and Amiens makes
the distance, 50 miles, without stop,
in an hour and quarter, or at the
rate of IS miles an hour. The fastest
regular train in Great Britain makes
60 miles an hour. for a distance Of
only SO miles, between Perth and For
fax. In Germany a greater speed than
Sc miles an hour is prohibited, but the
fastest regular train makes only 81
miles, between Wittenberg and Ham
burg.

There is popular impression that
microbes and germs of all kinds are
killed by intense cold. Recent exper-
iments in the laboratory of Professor
Dewar, the man who solidified hydro
gen, shows that this impression is err
roneous. Many forms of bacteria were
subjected to the tremendous cold Of
liquid air for an entire week without
interruption, yet afterward they de-
veloped as vigorously as they would
have done if they had not undergone
SO frosty an experience.

invaded China Geere went with the

was on the firing line many times dur

He says in his letter that the allied
forces have a tough proposition before
them. The Chinaman know more
about fighting than do the Fill

with heavy ordnance the Chinese
troops are all armed with the Man

HOW IT HAPpFNFD.


How it happened. You have heard
that Jim Drury met his wife when he
was attending college down in the
southern part of the state. She was the
only child of a wealthy lumberman liv-
ing neal L%udington. He was not a
city-bred man, had lived for years on
the outskirts. owned a large tract of
timbe: land, and had plenty of the
ready"
The young people became attracted
and concluded to cast their lots to-
gether for veal or woe. Accordingly
Jim wrote the old man asking for his
daughter. who slipped a little pleasing
note inside the letter from herself.
She was the apple of the old mans
eye.
He replied that he could refuse moth
ing which would add to his daughters
happiness; that Jim might have her on
condition that he made his abode with
him. He wrote: There Amt a darned
bit O. use of your liftn' our hand.
I've plenty of timber. and there's lots
Of hungry Burgers that'n be glad to get
it ready for market"
| couldn't attend the wedding, but l
received an invitation from Jim and
his bride that was to be to come up in
the hunting season every year; | would
be ever welcome.
Jim had been married five years
when | received a letter from him re-
newing the invitation and begging me
to come. So | picked up my traps and
started for ~Ludington. When nearing
that place the train was wrecked, and
rortunately-although | considered it
Unfortunate at the time-I was among
the injured who were taken to the hos
pital.
| bitterly bemoined my fate. | was
10 years old, had travelled all over the
world, and this was the first time that
| had ever met with an accident: and
to nave it happen in that Godforsaken
hole was too much. | had some broken
bones and was badly cut about the
head. | was in full possession of my
senses when we reached the hospital,
so | requested a room and a nurse, and
paid what was required. After that the
fever seized me.
| just remember seeing-a white-cap-
ped, white-aproned, sweet little body
enter the room, and felt that she was
making herself generally useful by ar
ranging my pillows, bathing my head
as best she could, and attending to my
numerous wants. | was suffering ter
ribly and was cross in consequence.
Once | lifted my eyes and looked
into the sweetest face and met the SYM
pathetic gaze of a pair of the most ex-
pressive, lovely gray eyes that l had
ever seen. They haunted me in my de-
lirium.
Although they found it necessary to
bandage my eyes, | soon learned the
touch Of my nurses hand, the lightest
whisper she lisped. the soft tread of her
feet, and when she took her needed
rest | was fretful and uneasy until her
return.
After the removal of the bandages,

slumber one day and saw a woman
with silvery white hair and CARRIED in
the habiliments of a nurse-save the
cap-standing by the window with
her back toward me. | was angry and
made an imperative request for my
own nurse. She turned and came
quickly to me. l saw the same beauti-
full face, the lovely eyes, the sweet
love so well. l touched the glistening
coronet now uncovered by a cap and
asked the meaning of it.
Ten years ago." she replied, my
father, my mother, my brother. and
myself were taking a pleasure trip on
the lake. A terrible storm arose, the
vessel was wrecked, and nearly all on
! board persisted. I saw my loved ones
swept away from me. l alone was
spared. They brought me here to the
hospital in a dying condition and
nursed me to life, and through the long
illness caused by fright, exposure, and
| grief. When l arose from my bed my
hair had turned white. l have remain
ed here since that time, and probably
shall remain during life"
| told her what was true. that I
couldn't live away from her; that l
would need care during the term of
my natural life, and begged her to
come with me and be my nurse. That
is how it happened hat l am now a
Benedict.
Drop in and see US, old fellow; my
wife will be pleased to welcome you.-

The thinness OF Mr.. Bryan's para

The holding up of trains is coming
to be one of the most pleasant and lu-
crative professions. 1t has advantages
that many other vocations are lacking
in. The field is not crowded and prob
ably never will be, for the qualifica-
tions for ucces in the profession are
not common and. moreover, the pre-
JUDGES of railroad companies and the
men of the IL and mask will always
serve to check a general rush into that
line of commercial activity. Another
advantage of this business is a certain
fascination there is in it. Men who
love excitement and despise the te-
dunn of more commonplace occupa-
tons will find a diversion and a profit
