Consolation and COMFORT.

Who is It hat does not wish to be out
In the open air or alive In some field Of
sport, whether 1t be with the bat, rod
or gun; whether We go %coasting over
the hills and wales OH the wheel or sail
Ing over rough waves or into serene
coves, 1t is all sport, and the springing
muscles seem to need It. 1t is bound
to happen that some mlShap Will occur.
Thus 1t Is that we have sprains in
abundance. Light ~sprains, sprains that
cripple, sprains that give great pain,
sprains that rob us Of sleep, but sports.
men Of all kinds have come to know
that there is nothing better than the
old, reliable st. Jacobs Oil. Have 1t

tomatoes, which, with proper attention,

Atchison Globe: II you get hungry

1t never pleases a man TO say You

Don't get sick now If you want any
sympathy; the hay fever victims are

When a man has a clever wife, ever

Considering the monotony of a mar

Easy Come. Easy Go.

The man who creeps along bent over,
with his spinal column feeling In a
condition to snap like a pipestem at any
minute, would readily give a great deal
to get out Of his dilemma, and yet this
is only the commonest form by which
lumbago seizes on and twists out Of
shape the muscles of the back. This is
commonly known as backache, a crick
in the back, but by whatever name 1t
may be known, and however bad 1t may
be, ten minutes vigorous rubbing with
st. Jacobs Oil on the afflicted part will
drive out the trouble and completely
restore. 1t is a thing so easily caught
1t may be wondered at why there is not
more Of 1t, but because it is so easily
cured by st. Jacobs OIL may be the
very reason that we hear so little Of 1t

The Fount of Tears.

All hot and grimy from the road,
Dust gray from arduous years,
] sat me down and eased my load
Beside the Fount Of Tears.
The waters sparkled to my eye,
Calm, crystalline and cool,
And breathing there a restful sigh,
l bent me to the pool.
When. 10, a voice cried, Pilgrim, rise,
Harsh tho the sentence be.
And on TO other lands and skies,
This fount is not for thee.
Pass on, but calm thy needless fears,
Some may not love or sin,
An angel guards the Fount OF Tears,
All may not battle therein"
Then with my burden on my back,
turned 10 gaze awhile,
First at the untnviting track,
Then at the waters smile.
And so | go upon my way,
Thro'out the sultry years,
But pause no more by night, by lay,
Beside the Fount Of Tears.

swITCHMEN ON HORSEBACK
TCorres. Chicago Inter ocean. ]

LCorres. Chicago Inter Ocean.l
Absolutely unique in the history of
railroading are the cowboy sWitchmen
of southern Colorado With the intro
duction of automatic couplers and the
present use of double-headed trains OF
fifty cars in length, it was discovered
by long headed railway officials that
men on horseback could couple up
trains much quicker than those on foot
Although not general custom, TINS
unique method of switching has peen
tried with success in both the yards Of
Walsenburg and Trinidad. Here are
located great coal mines, and hundreds
of cars a day were handled formerly by
footsore sWitchmen, who trudged many
miles coupling trains. One day a cow
boy dashed up and watched the switch
men at work With a grunt he urged
his pony across the tracks. rode fear
leSSly between the cars, arranged the
coupler, then backed out and gave the
signal for the engineer to back up. The
coupling was made, and then the cow
boy dashed further up the track, IN
coupled another portion or the tram,
and in various ways performed theWork
of the regular switchman in half the
time it would have taken him to do It
Three brothers named Berry, who
were working for a rancher close TO
the range, came into town resolved to
get work on the railroad. They learned
the duties of yard sWitchmen, and then
introduced their ponies These AMI
mails had a special training, and were
taught not to balk at the cars, never to
stand on the tracks. but between them,
over. They were also trained to follow
their owner along the train. should he
climb on to set the air brakes.
The Rio Grande railroad, seeing the
possibilities of the new method OF
Switching, soon introduced several cow
boys, who became fully as expert as
the Berry brothers. A train of forty
cars was recently made up, the air con
nected and the brakes lOosened in eigh.
teen minutes This necessitated twelve
switches and is the best on record
The brotherhood of Railroad Train
men took up the matter, and after a
long investigation they decided that the
new method was not down in the agree
rnent with the railroads, and therefore
it must be abolished. Railroads, how
ever, fought the brotherhood, claiming
that they used the cowboys more as an
advertisement than for any other reason
and seeing that 1t interfered but lit
tie with the work of the road crews,
they would continue to use the cow
how sVitchmen.
