BLOWN FROM A CAR.
Brakeman on the Santa Fe Road
Finds Gas.

When the local freight came into
Garnet a little before daylight this
morning there was a strong odor of
gasoline waited along the right-of.
way. In the train was a car with a
barrel of the fluid and brakeman
was sent ahead to investigate.
This brakeman did investigate
With him he carried a lighted Ian.
tern and got as far as the door.
There he was met by the gas that
had accumulated and when he pick
ed himself up was fully dozen feet
away and the car was on fire.
The train crew ran up the track
and were met by the man with the
lantern. No one was injured and
the blaze was extingu.shed before To-
cal help reached the scene. Only
the clothing of the brakeman are the
worse for the experience.

choice for sheriff, but we are bound to
ackno Wedge that he is a mighty good

son county never had a better sheriff.
He has been watchful and careful, and
has put no unnecessary expense upon
the county. Besides, he has fevored
many people and saved them money
regardless of politics. We cincerely
believe, however, that our new sher-

an officer as Dan is, and will give as
good satisfaction.

Fable of the Wise Youth.
I the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
 Once there were Two Youths, one Wise and one Foolish, who were des- perately Enamored of Certain Damo- sel.
 Now, each Youth had but Twelve Dollars, and each was desirous of sending Gift that Should testify to his Admiration.
 And the Foolish Youth, having in Mind the alleged Feminine love for the Beautiful, purchased Twelve Chrys- anthemums at One Dollar each.
 But the Wise Youth sent Ton of Coal, which Cost the Same.
 Now, the Wise Youth explained his Gift on the Grounds that He did not think She looked well with Blue Nose.
 But the Foolish Youth came back with the remark that Blue was his Favorite Color.
 And so the Wise Youths Coal warmed the House the Day of the Wedding of the Foolish Youth and the Fair Damosel.
 This teaches us to Reserve our In- novations until After.
