A NERvY ENGINEER.
His Presence OF Mind In Face of Great
Danger saves the Lives of 500 Pas
acnUHr

Nearly 500 passengers who were
aboard train No. 13 on the Wabash
road narrowly escaped a wreck and
death near Clark station, Indiana,
the other night. The train is known
as the Buffalo limited, and reaches
Chicago at $3.50 in the evening. Clark
station is the crossing of the Wabash
and the Fort Wayne railways, and is
four miles east of Hammond.
A short distance out of Clark the
Wabash crosses the Grand Calumet
river over a huge trestlework bridge.
Some repairs had been made on the
structure only recently, and it was
considered perfectly safe, track
walkers having just patroled the
bridge before the Wabash limited left
Clark station. AS the train, having
aboard nearly 500 souls, reached the
middle of the structure hat spanned
the Calumet the engineer heard the
cracking of timbers as the middle
span of the bridge sank beneath his
engine. He opened the throttle to the
farthest limit, and the train fairly
leaped from the swaying trestlework.
The one who will be found in trial cap
able of great acts of love is ever the one
who is always doing considerable ones.-
Robertson.

Case No. 41,206.-Capt. Alfred q,
Rigler of Hose Company No. 4, Can.
ton, Ohio, says: 81 had a weak back
ever since l was a boy, and about six
years ago the cause developed into
rather a bad case of kidney complaint.
1t was not a little backache now and
then but backache which caused actual
suffering day and night, and the harder
/ tried to get rid of it the worse it
became.
"When the attacks were in the acute
stage it was difficult to sit down, and
when down it was just as hard to re-
gain an erect position, on account of
the twinges Of pain in the kidneys.
1 can only describe some of the pangs
as similar to that received from a
knife thrust.
SIN time, distressing and terribly in
convenient urinary weakness resulted,
causing annoying embarrassment dur
ing the day and loss of sleep during the
night.
81 took everything which came tony
notice from reading, from observa-
ton, and which my friends and ac-
uuaintances advised. 1 consulted
physicians, but none of them were
able to relieve the trouble, let alone
stop it.
sit became so well known that / had
a pronounced case of kidney COM
plant that 1 often received circulars
from medical companies offering to
cure me, and one day eighteen letters
were handed to me by the mail car
rier.
"When Doan's Kidney Pills attracted
my attention / wanted to try them,
just as I had tried everything else, and
Mrs. Rigler ven to Durham & Wright
Co.'s drug store for a box. Relief fol
lowed. 1 knew after a dose or two
that the medicine vas acting directly
OF the kidneys from the altered con-
dition of the kidney secretions, and,
encouraged, 1 continued the treat
ment. Finally, the backache and
other complications stopped.
Let me sum up my opinion about
Doan's Kidney Pills by saying, I would
willingly pay one months wages for
a box of them if l could not buy them
for less. You can refer anyone to me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and / will
convince them that they act just as
represented"

 New York Evening Post.
 The actual birthday of Christ cannot be determined with any degree of aecu- racy. but 1t has been celebrated on tho 25th day of December since the year 70 A. D. Some of the apostles were alive at this time, and it Is not recorded that they disapproved of the date, so 1t is fair to assume that 1t is approximately correct. It Is true that almost every pagan god s supposed birth was celebrated about the same time. Pan. and Ammon, and Bud- dha, and many a lesser were supposed to have been born at the time of the winter solstice. Since the beginning the return of the sun and the renewing of the year have been greeted with reJoicings. and it was but natural that primitive man should assume that his deity visited the earth at this most favorable season.
 Longfellows Christian warriors sat at meat with their Scandinavian comrades. on a Christmas eve, and as they drank deep tkey made the sign of the cross over their ale horns, the wild vikings at the same time making "the sign of the ham, mer of Thor over theirs"
 It was one of the circumstances that made the introduction of Christianity easier than 1t might otherwise have been, that pagan and Christian could thus feast with each other. The early fathers realized this, and wisely forebore to ban ish the saturnalia of the Romans of the New Years festivals of the Britons. In stead they adopted the custom and made it a part of the new religion.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW.

New York, Dec. 1S.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 Wholesale trade Is quieting down as the stock-taking period approaches. Cold weather North and West has further stimulated general retail buying.

There are of course some drawbacks tut. taken as whole, iH s: inc approach of the end of the year with compiacency and satisfaction. Knowing; ; show gains over 1901, and, therefore, over any preceding year. the. feeling is that fine wheat crop outlook and the volume of orders already booked for next year. gives promise of future good conditions. Even the knowledge that some manufac- turing plants are like many domestic con- sumers, short of coal and are contemplat- JnR a rather earlier than usual holiday shut-down. falls to arouse the pessimistic feeling noted earlier in the year, when the fuel shortage was more talked about.

Samuel the Judge.

E Samuel the Judge.
 Those were pitiful days in Israel.s his tory. The curtain palace of God, the tab ernacle, was removed. His golden throne. the ark, was sequestered in private res idence. These, visible conditions swere symbolical of the inward state of the na- tion's heart. God was dethroned, His worship suspended. Israel was not only captive to Philistia, but. worse and in 'comprehensibie as 1t may seem. Israel was captive to the lords many and gods many of Philistia.
 Hope centered around one person. He was known to all Israel because of his continuous residence in the tabernacle at Shiloh from his childhood. Worshipsrs from every quarter had seen him there on their repeated visits to the sanctuary. The very continuity of his service gave him prestige. Having never wavered him. self, he was qualified to call others to steadfastness. Since Joshua,s day there had been no such lofty personality among the Hebrews. Yet he was no man for military exploits. The weapons of his warfare were not carnal.
 He awakened the dormantreligious sent iment of his people. not in an instant, but by a continuous and faithful ministry of twenty years. The saline quality of his own character, the light of his ex- ample. went forth to change the corrupt and dark conditions of society. His own character made his ministry a transcend ent success. No word he spoke failed.
 At the call of such a man, Israel could not but assemble in religious convoca- ton. His voice was the voice of God. So the tribes went up to Mizpah, the very place where, score of years before. they had suffered their overwhelming defeat, and had had their palladium. the ark, taken from them. On that high and rocky plateau, the watch-tower from which the land was unrolled beneath their feet like a raised map from the sea to the trans-Jordanic mountains stood the nation before Jehovah. who had brought them in with such high hand.
 A thorough-goin reformation had pre- ceded the assembly. Israel had sought God with all his heart. He had shrived himself of Baalim and Ashtaroth, and affirmed his purpose of serving God only. The assembly was for the purpose of pub- licly raufying this VOW and confirming it with a visible sign.
 Samuel, the Lords blameless servant devoted to him from birth-stood forth a noble type of the Mediator yet to come. He presented the peoples confessions to God and made intercession for them. He performed in sight of the people strik- ing symbolical action. first in long se- ries of such acts on the part of the prophets. From an earthen pitcher. filled at a neighboring fountain .and held aloft. he poured the water out. As it fell in crystal drops. 1t well represented the tears of penitence which Israel had al- ready shed. At this sign all the people said. We have sinned against the Lord. l"
 In the very midst of this significant and peaceful service. Israel is terror-stricken
