WHAT THE TRAIN CRIER SAID.
It Relieved Four Frightened Parents
and They Went Home
Happy. ,~

There was an excursion on one Of
the railroads few days ago to a
town in the center of the state. Two
young women who went on the ex-
cursion missed the return excursion
train to Chicago and stood around
in the deserted depot of the country
town in despair, says the Chicago
Tribune.
"You see," said one young woman,
"our fathers and mothers will be at
the depot in Chicago when the train
comes in and they will be frightened
to death when we fail to arrive with
the other excursionists. They will
think all manner of bad things have
happened to US. But what can de
do?"
"Yes," said the other young woman
through her tears, eff our people
we're at home this evening we might
telegraph them, but they were all 60
ing downtown to the theater and I
don't know what theater they went
to. After the theater they were go
ing down to meet us at the train.
They will be simply frightened to
death, and I'm afraid my father will
get on the next train and come right
down here after us. There are 700 or
800 people on that excursion train
and there will be more than that
number waiting for them at the
depot, besides the crowds going out
on the other trains, so it won't do
any good for us to address our mes
sage to the depot. They would never
get it,"
II know what to do" suddenly ex-
claimed the other young woman, as
her face shone with the light of a
brilliant inspiration.
"What?" gasped her companion.
eve will send message to the
train caller at the depot in Chicago
and ask him to announce when the
excursion train pulls in that we
missed the train but are safe with
friends here and will return on the
first train tomorrow morning."
20, that's just the thing" exclaimed
the other maiden, and they hastily
fixed up q telegram and sent it adj
dressed to the train caller at the sta
ton.
So when the excursion train pulled
into the Chicago depot that night the
cxcursionists and the friends watt
ing for them were surprised to see
the train caller Chamber up on
bench, and in his most stentorian
tones gravely announce:
Limited train for St. Louis on
third track. Cannonball for Toledo,
Philadelphia and the east
on first track. Miss Lillian Belleville
and Miss Eugenia Thompkins missed
the excursion train at Bloomfield and
will spend the night with their rela-
tives there, Mr.. and Mrs. John Adams
and Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Allen. The
young women are safe and happy and
will return on the first train to-mor-
row morning. Passengers for Madi-
son, St. Paul, Minneapolis and the
this way"
And four frightened parents
breathed easy again and went home
happy.

by, he seemed to find consolation
in some bits of cloth that had been
used to bind her throat; always lying
down beside them, no matter where
they happened to be placed. And dur
ing this temporary separation the two
would spend hours gazing longingly
at each other across the space that
divided them. Waen they were again
united they made manifest their SUI
prerae happiness by froliclling about
like frisky colts, blissfully unmindful
of the fact that such behavior was
anything but picturesque in creatures
Of their build.

Poison in Tubers.

Potatoes contain the alkaloid solan-
in, although this fact is not generally
recognized. New potatoes contain
comparatively little of this poison,
unless they grow above the surface
Of the ground and have a green skin,
when they are generally known to be
poisonous. 1t is not, however, known
generally that old potatoes contain
much of this poisonous principle. and
that many cases of serious poisoning
have occurred in late summer when
old potatoes were used.

Anecdote Of the Poet Lonsfellow.

AhCCuOOC VI inc TOct On81C1lO"s
The poet came to Wellesley once
more, and it was on this third visit
that we took him out rowing
again, this time in a new craft,
with an escort of other boats.
It is a pleasure to remember having
helped him on with his overcoat, as
he stood on the beautiful south
porch, making ready for the trip
There was a woman at the college
that day, singing-teacher from
Boston, who, learning that Mr.. Long.
fellow was there and was going out
on the lake, managed to get herself
taken in the same boat. Then she
began talking Italian to him. We
girls felt defrauded; he was our
guest, and we wanted him to talk
with us. But he soon delighted us by
saying, with quiet decision: "Let us
speak in a language which the young
ladies can understands Marion Pei

CONVERTED THE OLD BELL.
Priests Explanation to q Presby-
terrain of How 1t Became
Truly Consecrated,

For many years Father Boyle was
one of the most prominent and popular
Catholic clergymen in Washington,
where he had great reputation as
wit. Many of his most intimate friends
were Protestants and members of the
Protestant clergy. A few months be-
fore his death he erected missionary
chapel down by the navy yard and
bought at junk shop an old bell which
had been discarded by one of the Pres
byterian churches. He sent the bell to
foundry in Georgetown and had sew
eral inches of metal pared off the rim.
Having thus got rid of crack the
harsh and discordant tones of the bell
became short and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian parson not long after,
Father Boyle called his attention to
the change and the latter could scarce
ly believe it was the same bell. "What
in the world did you do with that bell?"
inquired the Presbyterian pastor, "to
cause such change in the tone?" 1--WE
blessed it and blessed it until we got
the Presbyterian devil out of it," re-
torted Father Boyle, land then it
sounded all right"
