The Source of Wisdom.

II wonder how Solomon became the
wisest man on earth?"
"That's easily explained" replied the
man with the intellectual but worried
face. you see, Solomon had large
number of families, and of course his
children asked questions, just as all
children do | have no doubt Solomon
was like anybody else and had GER
tain dislike to exposing his ignorance.
When one Of the children would ask
him something he didn't know, he'd
make believe he wanted drink of wa
ter and then &C out and look in the
back of the dictionary. l shouldn't be
surprised If he were compelled to do
this 80 or 60 times a day. Under such
conditions a man couldn't help getting
wise. "-Washingto Star.

In Italy the officers, at least, are i'm
maculate and picturesque. The com
mon soldiers are, perhaps. not so i'm
pressive. They are short, stocky little
fellows, bow legged to a man, and in
any clothes would not present a very
martial appearance. But the officers
are big, fine looking men, and thei1
uniforms rival the women's hats in
brilliancy. The colors used are very
unmilitary, pale blue and silver, gray
with green stripes, yellow and scarlet
and gold.
The Bersaglieri or sharpshooters,
with hats over one ear and huge
bunch of cock feathers flying out in
the wind, are as striking as any,
though the Kings guard, with brass
helmets and horse tail plumes, are by
no means insignifcant.-Harpers Ba-

ed the adventure he was given Jo-un-
derstand that such stories didn't go.
1t was held that his train crew ought
to have sense enough to discover what
was wrong, and the five of them barely
escaped a ten day lay off, They es-
capped it because a mechanic was sent
down from the shops who reported
that, while he could find nothing wrong
with the car. she had certainly gripped
reported. When hauled off the siding,
she rolled to her destination without
causing the slightest trouble.
1t had become certain that car No.
1414 was "queer critter." and every
body along the line was busy guessing
what would happen next. Two weeks
after her fit of sulks she was billed for
Chicago with load of potatoes. She
had rolled along for 100 miles without
the slightest hitch when the freight
train going east passed the express
going west, both under full speed on
the double tracks. OF a sudden No.
1414 cast one of her fore wheels. It
was on the inner side, and that wheel
went smashing into the drawing room
car and killed three passengers. 1t is
not once in ten years on any railroad
that a car wheel flies off; it was one
chance In a million that this wheel
should fly off at that particular spot
and that particular angle, but that was
what happened. Strangely enough,
tbo froirht froin xuoc NOT xpraoIxo6
Even with a wheel gone the car held to
the rails and made a run of ten miles.
There was a cry of 'hoodoo'' all along
the line, but the car was repaired and
run out again. She was an object of
curiosity from end to end of the road,
and there were engineers who said
they would rather have a ghost in the
cab than that car in the train behind
1t was month before No. 1414 made
another kick. Then she gripped the
rails and broke a train, and that on
down grade. She was heavily loaded
with grindstones, and, as siding hap
pened to be handy, she was showed of
by herself. This siding was half a mile
long and ended at morass. A buffer
had been placed at that end, of course,
but four hours after the car had been
left, and, as another train was ready
to pick her up, she could not be found.
There was the siding, but where was
the car? There had been no wind of
account, but when they came to closely
investigate they found that car No.
1414 had run down on the buffer with
force enough to uproot 1t and had then
taken header into the quagmire. A
corner of it was still visible, but before
the wreckers got there the entire body
of the car was ten feet below the sur
face and still going down. 1t might
have perhaps been recovered and its
freight saved, but when the superin-
tendent was told how things were he
telegraphed to the wreckers:

l don't know whether she went as
far down as that or not, but the last
soundings placed her at 35 feet, and
she was given up as total loss, and
everybody felt relieved.
