AT Harpers Ferry on one occasion
the flood In the Potomac was so great
that it threatened the destruction Of
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake in its unsteadlness, said
former Governor Thomas G. Jones
"When everybody present was looking
each moment to see the bridge 20

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriy
ed upon the scene. Approaching the
necessity of instant action. he gave an
abrupt order for a loaded train Of
freight cars standing on a side track TO
be run with the locomotive on to the
bridge and kept there.

commanded the great master of rail
roads. 1T would be easier to pay for
the silk than to build new bridge
THE silk train was run on to the
bridge and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the conti.Ant from San Francisco, at
which port II had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was great
man, one of the greatest of those who
have aided in the material development
of America. In emergencies he was
very resourceful as was demonstrated
In perhaps a small way by the Har-

IN THE STORM.

Ny Child, your hero may not be,
In truth, hero all the time;
Remember, it must chance that he
Shall still have rugged sleeps 10 climb.
Don't place him on too high plane
In fancy; then he will not fall
In your esteem and may attain
To something noble after all.
Ny boy, don't think your sweetheart bead
halo on her golden hair;
crown OF purity she wears,
And you must help to keep it there.
But she will have her trying moods
And be not always kind and sweet;
These are life's nerying interludes-
Sad pitfalls for unwary feet.
You both are far from perfect yet.
And quarrels will. UNHAPPY come;
Both may be wrong; so don't forget,
In anger's blind delirium,
That sweet concessions each must make
And tender promises renew
Or else a loving heart may break
And sorrow come to dwell with you.

The Arabs Little Game

In The Agricultural Journal of the
Cape of Good Hope appears an article
on the vitality of wheat from Egyptian
mummy cases. 1t Is often asserted tLat
samples of wheat from the same crop
as that which Joseph stored in Pha-
raoh's granaries has been taken from
mummy wrappings and, when planted,
has grown. This is very likely erro-
neous. as the Arabs have a habit of
selling to tourists samples of grain
which have in all likelihood come from
the nearest field instead of from the
ancient tombs. Indeed In many in
stances this mummy grain" has been
corn, and, as corn was not known until
II was brought from America, the
frnnd Is apparent.
