Soft Pace In Roadb sd Saves a milwaukee,
Train.
Only a soft spot in the road bed
saved Milwaukee engine and tender,
and possibly several coaches loade d
with passengers, from being precipi-
tlted into the waters of the Missis-
siPpi just west of the government
bridge at Davenport at . o'clock last
night. Train No. So, drawn by en-
CINE No. 1881, with John Dwire at
the throttle, ran into a switch in
front of the Slate house saloon. The
engine and tender were deraiIed and
were making direct for the water
when a soft place in the roadbed be-
tween two tracks caused the wheels
to be caught. BY this time the whole
train. except the rear corner of the
last coach, was upon the switch, hav-
ing cleared the main track. But that
one corner prevented switch engines
from getting above the entrance to
the switch and pulling the train out.
Accordingly traffic was tied up for
over two hours.

A Warning to KIckers.

The British and the Beers at Pieters
Hill were crouching behind boulders
md scattered over d wide surface
The moment man on either side
emerged from his cover he was at
once the target Of the enemy's bull
let's. A Boer, partly, 1t seemed, In
bravado, made a sudden sally to join
I neighbor. An Englishman who had
long watched the rock and was be-
coming sick with hope deferred, took
aim and brought the daring down. So
delighted was he with his luck that he
threw himself on his back behind the
shallow shelter OF his boulder and
kicked his heels into the air. In his
transport his heel rose above the rock,
md he was instantly made aware OF
It by a bullet transfxing his futter-
ing ankle.

A Strange Will.

The supreme court Of st. Pets, sburg
has before It one Of the most curious
cases on record. The tribunal Is call
cd upon to decide whether will left
on graphophone cylinder is valid or
whether the strange last will and
testament" should be disregarded in
the settlement of the estate. One Of
the wealthiest land proprietors near
Emolensk died few months ago, and
after the funeral his heirs began to
look up the will. They fanciei that
this task would be merely perfunctory,
and that the document would be found
among the family papers, but, much
to their surprise, they were unable to
ind the slightest trace Of 1t. Every
room and article of furniture In the
house was then carefully searched,
but the result was the same, and the
only conclusion at which the heirs
could arrive was that either that no
will had ever been made, or that II one
had been made 1t was destroyed be-
fore their kinsman's death.
The missing document, however,
was found in few days in the strang.
est place imaginable. A young man
was rambling through the house, and
happening to see a graphophone on d
table in the library, he examined 1t to
see II 1t was in working order, and
finding that 1t was, he put a record in
1t, which he supposed was that Of
some popular Russian song. What
was his amazement, however, instead
Of a song he heard the dead mans
voice reclte the words of the missing
will.
The heirs were promptly notified Of
this discovery and they lost no time
in carefully examining the record con-
tanning the will. 1t was found to be-
fawless, and the question then arose
whether such will would be deemed
valid by the courts or not. This
question Is now being discussed in the
supreme court in St. Petersburg, and
the case is interesting all lawyers who
have heard 1t. Many think that the
will will be pronounced entirely valid,
and II 30 It may become a common
practice for persons to use graphic
phones for the purpose Of making
their wills.-Chicago Journal.

Charley,s Aunt.

Mr.. Penley, otherwise Charley's
Aunt, tells the following: "A military
man, friend Of Mr.. Penley's, took
bis daughter to the stalls, and, having
a busy and firing day, went calmly to
sleep in his easy seat during the in
terval between the curtain-raises and
'Charley's Aunt The daughter SYM
pathetically allowed him to remain in
peace until the curtain went up for
the commencement of the play Of the
evening" Then she gently nudged
him in the ribs and whispered
'Charley's Aunt to remind him Of
bis whereabouts. The gentleman still
slept on, and his daughter tried again.
She gave her father an extra push
and murmured, with emphasis: Papa,
do wake up! Charley's Aunt This
Time It was effectual, for the colonel

A GREAT ECONOMIC UNIT.
Russia Does the Largest Business IN
the World.

Russia Docs the Largest Business n
the World.
1.-THE Russian state Is by far the
greatest economic unit on the face Of
The globe" To ninety-nine readers
out OF a hundred, this statement will
doubtless be startling. 1t certainly
was to me, when first met with 1t,
ret the facts to justify 1t are not far to
seek. The Russian state draws an an
nual net profit Of 100000 roubles
from Its forests, mines, and agricul-
tural property. 1t receives annually
30, 100000 roubles from rs communi-
Ties Of ex-serfs for the use Of land 1t
ceded to or purchased for them. 1t 10
building by far the longest and most
costly railway in the world, and 1t
owns and works over 10000 miles Of
railways, the net revenue on which Ia
equal to one-seventh of the net re-
venue Of all the railways Of the Uni
ted States.
In 1898 1t received G180, 10000 into
Ito Golfers, nearly one-half Of which
sum was not produced by taxation,
Its budget is greater than that Of
France by more than $200,O00,00O.
In 1890, when one Of the banks OIL
London was unable to meet Its obliga-
lions, the Russian government had
with 1t on current account q balance
Of so many millions Of pounds that
when the Bank Of England came ia
the rescue a request was Immediately
made to Russia not to dispose Of her
balance before certain date, since ia
10 so would be to precipitate a flnan-
,ial crisis of the utmost gravity. Fin
lilly, besides being a capitalist and
banker of this magnitude, the Russian
state Is also a metallurgist and a
spirit In word, the
proud claim Is made for 1t that 1t Is
the greatest landowner, the greatest
capitalist, the greatest constructor OF
railways, and carries on the largest
business in the world.-From Russian
