 q was in a train wreck" said Mrs. Davis, and I'll never forget how it scared me. The engineer of our train had run his engine square into the rear end of another train. I thought, of course. that was killed, or if not killed at least fatally injured. And I thought about my teeth. Oh, my teeth! I am always afraid that something is going to happen to them. I need my teeth in singing, you know. CBy the way, Jes- sic Bartlett has very even and beauti- ful teeth)
 Nobody in our car was hurt and ev- erybody laughed at my fears. The car stood on a siding for a long while and pretty soon in came a little boy and began to sing. I had never heard the song before. but it was about longing to see my mother in the doorway and the Wabash the dear old Wa bash I broke down and cried. And after that I called the little boy to me and had him sit down beside me. And we had a long talk. I talked good to him. and thought to mysr.s that he would grow up and be a better man because of the talk I had given him. I like to talk to people that way. I am apt to stop in the street and talk to drunken men in the fearful stage and try to reform them but I always got the worst of it.
 After I had finished my long talk with the little boy I felt better and I guess he did too, because emptied out my whole purse into his hands. When the child left the car I was in a sort of glow of righteousness. Barnaby and Mcdonald and others of the Bostonian corpany who were in the car laughed at me. out didn't car~, knew that I had started one life right.
 Pretty soon I heard a boyish voice outside saying:

The night was very dark and the horse got off the road and came to the wash below the bridge and stopped.

The fall broke his neck and both his legs. The horse returned to Springerville. The driver was a Mex ican, but we were unable to learn his name.-Holbrook Argus.

New York, Dec. 2.-Constant Couua- lin, the French actor. will lecture at Columbia university on December 21. His subject Will be Moliere's Don Juan. The lecture will be given under the auspices of the university faculty, though the arrangements will be made by Professor Adolphe Cohn, head of the department of romance languages, who has been endeavoring for some time to induce M. Coquelin to lecture at the university. The French societies of Columbia university and Barnard col lege also. probably, will have a share in the work. While details as yet are not announced, it is certain that admis- sion will be free, but by invitation only, the rule followed heretofore when Henry Trying and others lectured to the students. M.

Washington, Dec. D. The sena te will be called to order at F o'clock to- morrow, but beyond the probable read ing of the presidents message it will transact no business, adjourning until Tuesday out of respect to the memory of Senators Davis and Gear
 Senator Allison will make the an- nouncement of the death of his late colleague, Senator Gear, and there is hope that Senator Nelson may arrive in time ito perform a similar service concerning Senator Davis. These an nouncements will be preceded by the ceremony of swearing in the new members, who this year, are Mir. Dol liver, who has been appointed to sue ceed Senator Gear, and Mir Dilling- ham, who takes the place formerly oc- cupied by Senator Ross of Vermont, and the appointment of the usual com mittees to wait upon the president and house of representative
 MT. Frye expects to get up the ship ping subsidy bill on Tuesday and # not on that day, then on Wednesday, and in doing this. to have the Spoone~ Philippine bill displaced. This will be the. beginning of the important work of the session and upon the success or failure of the scheme may depend much of the future course of the pro- ceedings for the entire session. In or der Ito accomplish this result it will be necessary first to get the consent of the republican committee on order of business, and to this end meeting Of that committee will be held after the adjournment of the Senal.e on Monday afternoon.
 MT. Frye said today that he had con- ferred with the majority. of the mem bers of the committee and that he felt assured he would have no difficulty in securing assent to the proposed change. Thus far there has been no consulta- tion with the democratic senators. but the friends of the shipping bill do not look for a factious opposition to the taking up of the bill from that source. The motion to take up the measure is not debatable under the senate rules and they are confident of q majority vote if roll call should be demanded. 1t is probable that a friendly argument will be made with Senator Morgan, who has the Nicaraguan bill ir charge, the bill being on the calendar as spec ial order for the 10th instant. There is some talk of an effort during the week to get up the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in executive session. A move ment is on foot to secure the assent of the committee on foreign relations n an abandonment of the Davis amend ment to the treaty for the fertilization of the proposed canal.
 The usual. custom of adjcurning over from Thursday until thrc following Monday during the first week of the session will probably be departed from this season. That Is the desire of the republican leaders now here and they say there probably will be no such ad- journment.

MOUNTAIN SHEEP HUNTERS
Four Antlered Hill Climbers Fall
 Victims to Powder and Ball.

Drs. M. A. Green and F. G. Carl ton, of Bisbee, accompanied by Albert P. Behan, custom officer at this point, returned last Saturday from the Te- najas-Altas section of the county, where they spent several days in quest of mountain sheep, which abound in that region. For their efforts, the huntsmen were rewarded by securing four splendid specimens of the antlered Genizens of the hills, the antlers of one measuring seventeen inches in circum- ference at the base, says the Yuma Sun.
 A good many more sheep could have been killed, as they were found in plentiful numbers, but it was purely with a desire to secure some good spec imens for mounting that the Bisbee gentlemen took the trip, while MT. Behan, who is a most enthusiastic sportsman, accompanied them on the trip, because of his acquaintance with the country.
 The mountain sheep of Arizona are hardly as large as those of the north ern states, but the largest of those killed by this party would compare fla vorably with the average to be found anywhere. Sheep hunting is fine, but very fatiguing sport and numerous sections of Yuma county afford excel lent opportunities for the attainment of successful results.
 Drs. Green and Carlton are now down at the Hardy Colorado, secur- ing SDeciupeOS of birds and animals iQ- digenous to that section.
