A Big Pie Display.

The greatest pie display Of which
history tells us took place in 1909, at a
dinner given after the funeral of AL
brecht W., king of Bavaria, at the roy.
al palace in Munich. There were seven
great pies upon the table, representing
the seven ages of the world. The first
pie was made Of apples. It represented
Adam and Eve, the tree Of knowledge,
the snake and the apple. The pictures
were made upon the crust with confec-
tons of sugar and almonds.
Another pie was made of doves and
bore a wonderful representation Of
Noah's ark in it's center, while round
the edge were placed figures of every
created thing. A key went with this
pie in order that it might be determin-
ed what these figures were intended to
represent. ~.
Upon the crust Of these wonderful
pastries appeared the tableaux of Abra-
ham sacrificing Isaac, David Staying
Goliath, the ravens feeding Elijah, Sam
son tearing open the jaws of the lion,
and the last and most wonderful Of all
the pies when opened was found to
contain four living birds, which all be-
gan to sing.

A Fable with TWO Moral..

Two young men once started in life
with equal prospects. One of them had
n yearning to see the world, but the
other had no desire to stray far from
home. He said his native township
was good enough for him.
The man who wanted to see things
started out. and after many years and
much travelling. during which he had
looked upon most of the wonders of
the globe, he was arrested one day as
tramp. and because he had neither
money nor friends he was "sent up
as a common vagrant.
The man who said home was good
enough for him sat around most of the
time and played checkers with old peo-
pie who had nothing else to do. He
never went to circus or the county
fair for fear some villain of the deep
est dye might pick his pockets. and he
wouldn't haul his crops to market be-
cause he thought it was more than
likely that he would be cheated lie he
did.
The farm he worked was very DOOR
but he wouldn't move from 1t to bet.
ter one because he said he was used to
it and might not get along well in new
surroundings. At last he quit putting
out crops, for he saw that it was only
waste of good seed. and one day the
overseers took him to the poorhouse

In November, 1893, l awoke one
morning fully impressed with the idea
that was receiving as gift an un-
usually large gypsy ring set with sim
gle sapphire with brilliant on each
side. The dream was pleasant one
to the female mind. and | soon fell
asleep again, but only to awake with a
still stronger impression that the jewel
was actually in my hands. So curious
were my sensations that on my maid
entering my room at 8 o'clock told
her of the two dreams, most infinitely
describing the ring. and | also asked
my husband to bear witness to the
statement should anything follow to
confirm the dream.
Two hours later the postman arrived,
and so great were my excitement and

done up packet evidently ring case)

ed to ask my maid to do so. Before
breaking the seal asked her to repeat
the description of the ring that ] had
previously given her, and then the lit
tie packet was opened. and the joyful
exclamation followed, why, my lady,

If we can get around the curve. there's

Z And then began that terrible ride.
He hooked 81 up to the first notch
and then opened the throttle.
II With seven cars behind us we shot
down the grade of 175 feet to the mile.
Sixty-seven set low in her frame, but
every low joint rung her bell for an
eighth Of mile. She jumped and sway
ed and threatened to leave the rails.
The wind shrieked around us like a
thousand demons, and the rain poured
against the windows in perfect
stream,
"There's danger ahead and death be-
hindy' shouted the old engineer. "If the
rain loosens a bowlder and drops it on
the track
I shuddered. There was a blasted
pine that marked the curve. The next
second we reached it. For a moment /
thought it was all over. Then 81 right
ed. There was sharp jerk. We forg-
ed ahead faster. and our seven cars
cleared the roadbed and went down
the bluff with crash that was heard
high above the storm, leaving a clean
track for the runaway behind that was
coming as swift and sure as death.
II the runaway got around the curve,
the probabilities were that we would
be knocked from the track into the riv-
er.
We were very near to the bottom
now, where the roadbed followed the
river, and the engineers were cautioned
not to run over fifteen mres per hour.
But orders were not respected that
night. We were making thirty miles
per hour when a fash of lightning
showed me that dark string of cars
coming around the curve. The blazing
box was on the opposite side and invis.
ible.
Old Matt gave 81 the steam so sud-
denly she seemed to jump from under
Us, but the runaway was not more
than half a mile behind and was COM
Ing with the speed of a tornado.
There was no getting out Of the way.
In a moment it would be on us. i'm
agined could see the black mass COM
ing down on us in the darkness, when
O heavy rumble was heard, followed
by a tremendous crash.
The rain had loosened the rock and
dirt overhanging the track and it only
needed the jar of 81 to set it. in motion.
Something like 1000 tons of debris
rolled on to the track directly behind
us, and into this those runaway cars
plunged. ....-
But we did not find this out until aft
erward. Matt kept g. up to what was
tremendous speed on that track.
She plunged and rolled and rang her
bell continuously. A dozen times
thought we were going into the river.
We pulled through all right, but that
was my last trip. When | got off the
engine, my hair was streaked with gray
and now it is white as snow.
For some time it was thought that
| the runaway cars had broken loose, but
| the company became suspicious and
had the case looked into with the re-
suit of running down some tough char
acters, who finally confessed to cutting
| them loose with the intention of ditch
| ing us between Hayersack grade and
the bottom and securing the treasure.
Old Matt has retired from the road,
but do not think that either he or I
| shall ever forget the run of 81.

The new caucus law, which has gone
into effect, may not be generally under
stood. The law states that the registrars
of voters shall annually be in session on
the first and second Fridays of February
and August for the purpose of making
enrolment of the legal voters of the town
to comply with the following: After the
first of March, 1902, no person shall vote
or participate in any political caucus or
primary except those electors enrolled as
hereinbefore provided, and any person
voting or participating or attempting to
vote or participate in any caucus or pri-
mary of political party under the pro-
visions Of this act, other than the politi-
cal party with which he shall have been
enrolled, shall be guilty of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be fined not
more than 800, or imprisoned not more
than sixty days, or both. Such an en-
rollment does not prevent an elector from
casting his vote at the election for who
ever he desires. If votor fails to regis
ter for the caucus enrolment 1t does not
prevent his voting at an election.
