An Engipeer,s Exn.rIence.

"The superstition about owls is a
wonderful thing" said an old railroad
engineer, "and If had not been in

birds the engine was riding one night

| am not always superstitious, but
am particularly so about owls. But
like the creatures, for one certainly
saved my life. The incident occurred
on very dark night. The train was
running at full speed. We were run
ming on straight line, and there was
nothing for the fireman and myself to
do but to look directly ahead and let
her run. l had been looking intently
for an hour, when something few

the owl was a bad omen, and stopped
the train Immediately. 1 cannot say
what made me feel so, but was sure
that death was ahead. I descended
and walked to a switch that was a
short distance ahead Of us. 1t was
open and a long train of empty freight
cars was on it. l had the owl stuffed
and since that time he has had a place

THE sALTINc

The sun sinks slowly down the west,
The mountains shade to deeper blue,
DAY swiftly glides unto the breast
OF evening, fresh with summer dew,
"Whoo kie! Whoo kie!"
The glad young voice rings out so free;
If you raise your eyes you will surely see
How the cattle hasten at the refrain,
In glad response to the welcome strain
That ever sounds with the sailing.
That call brings back the long ago;
The evening bird sings sweet and low,
She walks again with grlish pride
Her handsome lover at her side,
"Whoo lde! Whoo kie!"
"Over the hills it comes to me.
My eyes are dim, but surely see
The form so loved, when the glad refrain,
Calls again in the welcome strain"
That ever sounds with the sailing.

A QUIET OLD ACE,
Hrs, John C. Fremont in Her California
Home.


Home.
Privations of the Western frontier
and life at the courts of Europe form
The two extremes in the romantic ca
reer Of Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont,
who is enjoying the closing years Of
her life in Los Angeles, Cal.
A Virgnian by birth, plunged at four
teen into the brilliant society which
gathered about her father, Senator Ben
ton, in Washington, she eloped at six
.een with fascinating young lieuten-
ant John c. Fremont,
Though she returned almost imme-
1iately to her fathers home, she aided
and abetted the schemes and explora-
tions which brought her husband such
renOwn as the Pathfinder" shared bis
conquest of California, which meant to
him not only political hOnors, but the
possession Of gold mines as we'll; re-
turned with him to Washington when
California sent him there as her first
Senator, and in the heyday of his pros
perity and National fame queened 1t
royalty in St. Louis in little court Of
ler own. From this she expected to
return to Washington to reign as mis-
tress Of the White House, but General
Fremont was defeated by Buchanan in
the Presidential race
This disappointment was drowned in
foreign trip, made memorable by the
high honors with which General FIRE.
mont and his wife were received at the
English and European courts, where
.he beauty and wit of the accomplished
Mrs. Fremont made strong impress
sion. A good linguist and accustomed
from infancy to distinguished and cos.
nopolltan society, she made many
warm friends. Among them was the
Empress Eugene, with whom she still
corresponds.
Mrs Fremonts old age is spent IN
her charming Los Angeles homc-a
spacious two-story cottage presented to
her by the women of California. At
The advanced age of seventy-six, Mrs.
Fremont retains much of her bril-
iancy and beauty. 1t is difficult to
think Of her as old, or even helpless,
although she practically is so, owing
% a broken hip which confines her
Turing the day to an invalid chair.
Before this catastrophe, two years ago,
she was the gayest of the gay and the
accident is another of those pat illus
Tations of the old saying that pride
goeth before a fall 1t happened at
the time that she was rejoicing in a
glorious sense of health in which she
Ooasted one day, and in an excess of
spirits danced across the floor to dis
play her exuberant vitality. But she
did not reckon on that snare or snares
rugs on a polished floor. There was
slip and a slide and down she went,
her walking as well as her dancing
days forever over.
She is =, large build, wherein she
takes after her distinguished father,
Senator Benton, who was over six feet
and Of powerful physique. She has
strong handsome, aristocratic features
and an expressive countenance, with
a regal poise of head and mien so ma
jestic that as she sits and bows a
smile Of welcome to her visitor she
gives the effect Of q gracious parsonage
receiving in state. The bow is accom-
panied-if the visitor takes her fancy
by a wave Of the hand to indicote the
seat nearest her, for this grande dame
is little deaf and does not participate
as much as formerly in the general
conversation.

The Benr and the Child.

The London Graphic obtains from
correspondent at sebastopol an inter-
asting bear story. A huge bear ap.
preached near to the village and car.
led Off a young child. The Inhabitants
'ormed a Gordon around the tract Of
crest where the bear had taken refuge.
and on the third day after the child
vas carried off they closed in on the
BEAST. The child, unharmed, was re-
lining on a deep messy couch made
or her by the bear, She had subslsted
m the nuts and forest fruit brought
Ter by the bear. One almost regrets to
earn that the bear was summarily

THE REAL THING.

There are only 400 real iron pots
That float in the stream of style,
And some of these pots,
They are pretty tough lots,
Though they float with a satisfied smile.
And woe to the pot that is made out Of
clay
Who dares to Join in with the throng,
Ii the book that is blue
Doesn't recognize YOU,
You will aoatGI don't think-.-very long
In fact I don't think the old saints, u
they could
Would care to mix up with these pots.
Brass, China and Deli,
On the old kitchen shelf,
Have happier time OF it--lots
And the 400 pots, in the social swim,
Many thanks to paint, powder and pride
May look like a dream,
As they float down the stream.
But they're horribly battered, inside.
