Saturday told his parishoNers who

thought the strike would be long

OF liquor in times like that often
causes trouble. To better prepare

The Newest Bridge Hero.

Strong nerves and rare presence OF
mind saved Frank Gaines and his lit
tie child from death few days ago.
Near Lawrenceburg, Ind, is Bal.
timore and Ohio Southwestern bridge,
200 feet long, which swings over a
ravine 200 feet deep. At intervals of
twenty feet are crossbeams extending
one foot beyond each side of the tres
tie work.
Mr.. Gaines started out for q walk
with his child. He was halfway over
the trestle with the little one in his
arms, when he heard the whistle of
the locomotive, and the next instant
saw train coming rapidly around a
curve but short distance away. At
glance he saw that he would not
have time to reach the other side or
retreat to his starting point before the
train would be upon him. To hesi-
tate was to be struck and hurled to
certain death.
Two feet away was one of the cross
beams. With a bound he was upon it.
Leaning far out upon the end he
steadied himself while the train swept
past him. He could feel the hot steam
ycorch him.
Once more on solid ground he sank
down, overcome.

His First Lesson.

The valor of the British soldier is
justly famous, but it is fair to remem-
Der that goodly share of it is Irish.
Some of the very best records in the
service belong to Irish regiments.
The stuff that many of the officers are
made of can be inferred from brief
chapter in the life of Robert Blake
ney, who has left behind him an in
teresting autobiographical record of
his experiences in the wars against
Napoleon. He was q boy OF fifteen
when he secured small commission
and set off to join the British army
abroad. An adventure befell him at
the start.
embarked on board the mercantile
ship Britannia, Captain Burrows.
bound from Dublin to Bristol, and q
more ignorant, drunken lubber never
commanded vessel. The wind blew
hard as we entered Bristol Channel,
and as We proceeded, the gale become
tremendous. The pillows rolled in
majestic yet horrl6c grandeur, sweep
ing everything Off the deck. Far from
encouraging the crew by inspiring
them with sense of duty, the master
| added to their terror by his degrading
and worse than useless lamentation.
A gentleman passenger came down
to the cabin, and vainly endeavoring
to restrain his unwilling yet manly
tears, embraced his wife and two
young children, who lay helpless in
one of the berths. The innocent babes
clung around his neck, beseeching
him to take their mamma and them on
shore.
The scene was excessively affecting,
and acted on my feelings more power
fully than all the dangers by which
we were surrounded. Although l. had
lain in my berth until then, so over
| powered by seasickness as to be un-
able to make any exertion, 1 started
up and hurried on deck just as the
drunken skipper was knocked down by
| blow from the tiller whilst trying TO
| direct it.
Urged by the impulse of the mo-
ment, seized the abandoned tiller,
and turned it as I had seen the cap
tain attempt to do. At this critical
instant, I deserted q man on horseback

destruction, should we be driven past
Combe MARITIME, rode at full speed
along the shore, waving his hat, now
in one direction, now i'll another.
All the sailors were drunk, but as
sisted by one of the passengers,
moved the tiller in conformity with
the signals made by the gentleman,
and IN short time we succeeded in
in guiding the vessel through very
intricate and narrow passage between
rocks and banks, and finally ran her
aground on shoal of sand. We sub.
sequrntly learned that eight vessels
were that morning wrecked in Bristol
Channel.
Credit was given to me, but I took
none to myself. 1t was the first time

than an open fishing boat, and I was

ing n ship as about q training an ele.
plant. Any part I took, therefore,
was entirely mechanical, and the in.
yentive and true merit was due solely
to the gentleman on shore, by whose
direction L was guided.

NO POCKETS IN A STROUD.

o! We who bow at Mammon's shrine,
Whose hearts with greed are growing
cold,
Who turn your backs on things divine
And worship but the god of gold.
What will 1t profit you when death
Lays low the head so kingly proud
And robs tho wasted form of breath?
There are no pockets in n shroud.
Your thoughts by day, your dreams by
night,
Are but OF graspnG golden gain.
Your guide is but the beacon light
y or riches burning in your brain.
You cast all nober aims behind
And struggle rs n mndding crowd
To clutch the dollars, but you'll find
There are no pockets in Il shroud.
Yc usurers who grind the poor
Beneath II cold, relentless heel,
Who overshndow many door
With cloud OF misery, and feel
No sympathy to see them lie
Beneath the hand of sorrow cowed,
Remember when you come to die
There are no pockets in a shroud.
What is the profit to the man
Whose life to Mammon has been given?
bridge of gold can never span
Tho gulf between the earth and heaven!
What will it be to him to ilnl
The wealth with which he is endowed
At deaths gate must be left behind?
There are no pockets in Il STROUD.
This life is but span; to-day
We're here; tomorrow we are gone,
Have faded from the earth away
Into oternity's strange dawn
Yet in the hungry greed for gains
Too many at the gold shrine bowed,
Forget that when the lifc-spark wanes
There are no pockets in Il shroud.

General Lawton's Bravery.

General Lawton was afflicted with
tuberculosis and suffered great deal
from his lungs, although he kept the
fact secret from all but his closest
friends. He felt that his life was
short, and when he went to the
Philippines he did not expect to re.
turn. He felt that the disease was
gradually getting the better of him
and that sooner or later itwould carry
him off. At the same time he ex-
pressed hope that he might die with
his boots on and in battle. Professor
Worcester, of the Philippine Com
mission, says of him. "His bravery
was something more than mere fear
lessness. The night before I left
Manila was with him up to IL
o'clock, and before bidding him good
by I asked him, as his friends had
begged of him hundreds of times be-
fore, to be more careful about expos.
ing himself to the fire of the enemy.
He answered that he knew perfectly
the risk he was running, but that it
was simply o matter of business with
him-that with the force at his dis
posal and with the work he was called
upon to do he felt it necessary that
he should personally direct every
movement. .'-Chicago Record.

Five Ways to Reach BoIivia.

There are five main routes by which
communication is obtained by Bolivia
with the outside world. The first of
these is by way of the Chilian port of
Autofagasta by railway of twenty
eight-inch gauge to Oruro, thence by
coach or mule back to La Paz and
other centres. From Antofagasta to
Oruro is distance of 800 miles, and
the time required to accomplish the
journey three days, the trains running
only in daylight and then at slow
speed. From the Chilian port of
africa is a second means of reaching
the interior of the continent. A rail.
way runs from africa to Tacna, a dis
tance Of forty-seven miles, thence six
days on muleback brings the traveller
to La Paz. A third way of entry is
via the Peruvian port of Mollende,
thence by rail to Arequipa and Puno,
by steamer across Lake Titicaca, and
thence drive of thirty-fve miles
across level country to La Paz. The
northeast section of Bolivia is access.
ible by way of the River Amazon, and
its tributary, the Madeira; but this
route is not properly developed, and
is but little utilized except for ship.
ments of rubber. The fifth way of
reaching Bolivian territory is through
Argentina to Salta or Jujury, and
thence by road te the principal Bo-
livian cities. This latter route would
appear to be the natural outlet for
Bolivia in the future when railway
communication unites the districts of
La Paz, Cochbamba and Potosi
with the Argentine lines. When
this railway extension becomes an
accomplished fact La Plaza will be
only a journey of four days from
Buenos Ayres, and twenty from
Europe, instead of occupying the
isolated position of to- day, when the
time required for such 0 trip is six
weeks either way.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger is
opposed for sentimental and historic
reasons to changing the appearance of
the PRESIDENTS official residence. 1t
says: "Enlargements and addi ions
would destroy the symmetrical build
ing, which, in its present shape, is as
sociated so closely with the history of
the country that changes in its exter-
nal appearance would be, especially
since they are unnecessary, piece of

The Boer statements regarding the

How "Bobs" Heard the News.

Lord Roberts, the commander OF
the British forces in South Africa,
says the Outlook, learned of his sons
death at the Travellers Club. He was
talking to a distinguished general at
little distance from the tape round
which was formed circle of the men,
bers.
Some one who did not know Lord
Roberts was present exclaimed: "Good
heavensl 'Bobs' son is killed."
"What, what" cried Roberts,
elbowing his way to the tape.
He read the fatal intelligence, then
walked out of the club without word,
the members gazing after him with
silent, affectionate sympathy.

A Heroic Deed.

Near Maple City, in Cowley Coun-
ty, Farmer John Stevenson and his
hired man went down into we'll to
clean it out. Both were overcome by
foul air and were stone dead when
taken from the we'll. On the same
day, at the little village of Catharine,
in Ellis County, similar catastrophe
resulted in bringing forth hero
whose name is worthy of enrolment
among the best and the greatest.
Paul Meis went down into his fathers
well after fallen bucket. He was
overcome by the gas and became un.
conscious. William Peizel bravely
went down after Meis, and he in turn
succumbed to the deadly vapor. Then
Paul Keoner went down after tho
other two and met similar fate, and
this was the situation when Henry
karlin arrived on the scene. With
out hesitation Karlin had rope tied
beneath his arms and silk handker-
chief over his faco. and he was low
cred in the well carrying an extra
rope. Reaching the bottom, he
hastily tied the loose rope around the
leg OF n man and the man was hoisted
to the surface. Twice this operation
was repeGted, and then Karin was
hauled out, he having become uncon-
scious just as he finished tying the
rope on the last man. All four re-
manned unconscious for long time,
but doctors finally succeededin bring
ing them around. Neither Pelzel nor
Keoner knew the danger they were
going into, as they had never heard of
water gas, but Karlin did, and he
took the chances like hero. Kansas

Racing With n Grizzly,

"Some people think that grizzly
can'trun, said A. J. Daggs, of Phoenix,
Arizona. 81 want to state right now
that while the bear is clumsy beast,
he can cover as much ground rs the
average saddle-horse, and man should
be sure that he has good mount be-
fore he tries to get out of the way of
ono which is angry. My brother was
out in the mountains of the Territory,
among the sheep ranches, one day
when he saw, about $50 yards ahead
of him, big, awkward silver-tip. My
brother had rifle, but he was not
certain that he would kill the bear if
he shot, and he did not know how
race would turn out. He was mounted
on one of the best horses in the coun-
t1y, for man needed one in those
days. He knew that the bear would
not fight unless wounded or cornered,
and he thought he would like to see
how he would run against his horse.
''He was pretty certain that the besr
would run from him if he could once
get him started in the opposite direc-
ton, and so he gave regular cowboy
yell. The bear looked up, and started
shuf1iing off towards the mountain,
about mile and half away. My
brother spurred his horse and lit out
after the grizzly, at the same time
keeping up the piercing 'Yeep-yeep'
of the cowboy. The bear soon got
into the running, and the way he got
over that ground was a caution. My
brother saw that the brute was get
ting away from him, and he urged his
horse to the utmost, but he did not
gain ten yards in the whole mile and
half. That bear numbered along
with leaps equal to a greyhound, and
his pursuer did not have chance to
cut him out from his retreat.
''I went over the course the next
day to verify the story, for it sounded
fishy to me. 1 found that the bear
had made jumps from fifteen to twenty
feet in length, and that the ground
had been cut up by his claws so that
it looked as if harrow had been run
over it. For that reason L would ad,
wise no man to try foot race with
grizzly. Washington Post.
