Westbound freight train No. o Through
freightl which passes this place about
midnight ran into an open switch at Pal
estine, station about 2 miles west Of
Forrest City. at an early hour this morn
ing with disastrous results.
The train does not stop at Palestine.
and this morning II was an unusually
heavy train, made up of 40 cars-the big
locomotive dashed into the switch a,
good rate OF speed, running into several
box cars which were standing thereon,
precipitating horrible wreck.
Engineer Shelley aud Fireman Sim.
mons were hurled into eternity with
scarcely an instant's warning, while the
engine and number of box cars were
smashed and completely demolished and
wreckage was piled up all over the station
yards. delaying traffic about FIVE hours.
The head brakeman, whose name we
could not learn, was also seriously, If not
mortally injured. and 1t is thought his
chances for recovery are very meagre.
The switch is supposed to have been
left open by an extra work engine.

the tank at Goodwin when the whist

locaIlty was not safe. A detective of
the road was immediately put upon he
trail, which led to the Indian terri tory

OF Deputy Sheritfs Murphree. Oscar

and on Friday night the posse located
Dickart In house III Egypt. They
surrounded the house and found Dick
art asleep on the rear porch with his
trusty shot gun by his side He was
secured before he awoke. He had been
on spree the day before, hence his
sound slumber. it is supposed that
the machinist WAS taken for spotter
aud they wanted to get rid of him.
The officers also found evidences of a
wild cats nest in tie shape of a guam
tltv OF mash. Dickart is now ia the

There SO many hard places along the
road for most of us, made hard need
lessiy by human selfishness, that the
longing to be kind with a tender,
thoughtful, Christlike kind ness grows
stronger in me each day live.
A steadfast purpose, diligently pur'
sued, is the only path to an oVercom
ing life.
We ought not to be weary OF DONG
little things for the love of God, VINO
regards not the greatness of the WORK
but the love with which it Is per-
formed.
The kind of world one carries about
in ones self is the important thing I;
and the world outside takes all Its
grace color, and value from that.
Trust not nor lean upon reed shak-
en- by the wind; for that all flesh is
grass, and all the glory, thereof shall
wither away as the flower OF the
field.
The life that loves much, though
its sphere be limited by the tour walls ai
of a humble home, is large life. The
extent of our love is the only true
III easure of our life.

Cumulative Economy.

An old bookkeeper Gays in the
Youths Companion that it surprising
to see how many valuable things a
man can buy if he simply economies
in little things.
~ once made up my mind I would
become the possessor of a gold watch
I saved up the money in this way
when felt like eating 5O-cent lunch
con, as I often did, I ate 25-cent one
instead and put the other quarter aside
for my watch fund. You will hardly
believe it, but in less than six months
/ had saved money enough to purchase
the watch"
"But you don't seem to have bought
it,n said his friend, observing that
there were no outward signs of such
a purchase.
"Well no. found out how easily
could get along without 50-cent lunch
es, 1 concluded I could get along with.
out egold watch and the watch fund
is growing into a house and lot fund

Think About it.

Almost every young man likes the
idea of some day "setting up business
for himself. The foolish spendings OF
many a youth would, if wisely saved
help to give him an independent start
The following illustrates this point: A
New Orleans paper tells of a printer
who, whenever his fellowworkman al
the case went ont to drink beer, put in
the savings bank the exact amount ne
would have spent if he had gone with
them 10 drink. He did this for five
wears. He then looked at his bank &C.
count, and found that he had laid up
$52l. Sc. In FIVE years he had not lost
a day because of sickness. Three out
of five of his fellow-workmen had in
the meantime become drunkards.
The water-drinker then bought out the
printing office, and in twenty years
from the time he began to put aside
his money, he had lain aside many
thousand dollars.

The Secular Paper and she
Churches.
Associate Reformed Presbyterian.

Associate helOl uleu Ilespy teioh'
Complaint is often made that the
secular papers devote so little atten-
ton to the churches and give such
poor accounts of religious meetings,
This may he true of the great met
ropolitan dailies, particularly those of
the "yellow" type, but it is not true
of many of the dailies in the smaller
cities and towns, and it is especially
not true of the county papers. One
reason why they do not publish more
is probably because the information Is
not accessible to them. Surely In this
section of our land the Churches re-
reiye good treatment at the hand OF
of our newspapers. You can scarcely
nick I'D one without seeing some all
nouncement published without charge,
some report of meeting, some rel
erence to the work of congregation,
or some kind and complimentary
notice of pastor. Our denomination
has been particularly fortunate. We
do not know of an account OF our
Church courts that ever sent the pa
pers that was not published. Our
constituency in any given State is
small yet the papers have passed that by
and inserted what was written. 10
our congregation the local papers,
wherever published, are very kind in
deed. This true in all of the States.
Almost without exception wherever
we have a church in town where a
paper is published, that paper is COM
nlimentary to our work and renders
Invaluable assistance. 1t is constant
ly saying kind word about the pastor
and the progress or the Cnucn; , =, Many any
secular papers would render still more
aid if the pastors and Church people
would put themselves to little trouble
to give the necessary information.
