Not on the Time Table.

In the rarefed atmosphere OF the
high tablelands of Mexico objects that
are really long way off appear to be
close at hand. This has led to many
ludicrOus mistakes on the part of tour
lists, and even on the part of those
having knowledge of the popularity
of the country.
The Mexican Central railroad has
tangent (section of track of which
there is no curve) that is said to be
the longest in the world. 1t is over
60 miles in length, and locomotive
headlight can be seen, of course, for
a very long distance.
One evening train rounded the
curve approaching this tangent, and
as it entered on the straight track its
brakes suddenly began to grind. 1t
soon came to a standstill, and the con-
ductor, fearing that an accident had
befallen the engine, hurried forward,
and was shown by the engineer light
that was twinkling and dancing on
the track directly ahead.
"A headlight, sure" the engineer
said. Must be AN extra and the dis
patchers have over looked it, for orders
DO not mention IT.
Guess YOU are right" the conduc-
tor replied, "but ! never knew the dis
patchers to be so careless before. Any
where but on this tangent there would
have been a collision and somebody
killed. We'd better move ahead slow
ly to the next side track We can't
tell Just how near that train may be,
and We will wait for ii to pass Us
there.
They reached the side track in safe
ty, and, drawing ia on it, awaited the
coming Of the other train. Half an
hour passed, and the engineer was
Tuning, wondering how much longer
he was to be delayed, when the con-
ductor called him to step out to the
main line.
what do you think OF that head
light, now ?" he asked, when the engi-
neer had Joined him. Seems to have
got clear up and off the road. "
The engineer gazed at the twink
ling light, then, Venus, by Jupiter

Oh, never from thy tempted heart
Let thine integrity depart
When Disappointment fills thy cup.
Undaunted. nobly drink it up;
Truth will prevail, and Justice show
Her tardy honors, sure though slow.
Bear on! Our life is not a dream,
Though often such its mazes seem;
We were not born for lives Of ease.
Ourselves alone to aid and please.
To each daily task is given,
A labor which shall fit for Heaven.
When Duty calls let love grow warm,
Amid the sunshine and the storm.
With Faith Hfe's trials boldly breast.
And come a conqueror to thy rest

The shark swallowed this, but still

Let Us All Be Just.

AS the country is now about to en-
ter upon another political campaign OF
vital Importance to all the people OF
this great country, let us determine Il,
be just with all men selected to repre-
sent the different parties. We believe
VIM J Bryan will be triumplantly
elected to the presidency of the Uni
ted States in November next, but this
belief will not justify us in adopting
any position that may seem to dispair
age the character of other candidates
for the high position, and the fact OF
traducing the character of the opposi-
ton will not advance the chances OF
the election of Mr. Bryan, but only
make his elevation less honorable by
making it appear that his election was
only the result of running against u
very poor stick man who was lack
ing in all the elements of greatness.
The more worthy the man, the great
er the honor of the triumph over him
in an election.
And again we ought not to forget
that any man who receives the nom
nation of national convention for
the highest office in the gift of the
greatest nation of earth must, of ne
cessity, be man of personal standing
and popularity, and an effort to
besmurch his character is an effort to
injure the reputation of an American
citizen.
We ought not to forget that men
have characters of good and bad, and
that such character is to stand long
after the incidents of q political can
vass shall have passed away-thai
such character is part of the nation
al heritage of all our people, and must
not suffer at the hands of those of
whom such character is part of the
whole nation, and the honor of a good
name is interested in keeping the good
name of all distinguished American
citizens and unsullied for all time.
That we hope for the election of our
candidates is true and legitimate, but
he or they who would rise upon the
fall of another, and that by our work
is unworthy the name of American.
Let us alllabor for success but lei
our work be of that kind that will
give us the glory of fair and honor.
able contest, and victory that will
leave no blots upon our national char.

was never in doubt. Until the

of the home team the visitors
scored three times. After the

A SONNET OF WORK.

Whereto our labor and our bitter sweatP
The seed we SOW We trample in the dark;
The flame we strike; our own tears quench the
spark;
The white that we would purify we set
Our grimy print upon, and we forget
Thy ways and thoughts are not ours and bark
Toward what we take to be some heavenly mark
And find we serve the devil to abet;
Then do thou blind US that we may not see
The measure Of .ur own futility
Lest, seeing, we should cease to work and die,
Or give us sight that we may know thereby
How through our labor, whatso end 1t meet.
We reach toward thee who knowest no defeat. /.
