Jinnie Didn't Feel Cruel, But There
Was Only One Thing Left
for Him to Do.

When Great-Uncle Henshaw's letter
brought the invitation for Jimmie to
spend his vacation at Dovedale. there
was great excitement in the house
hold. Uncle Henshaw was the distin-
guished member of the family, rich,
unmarried and old; and as Jimmic's
mother said: mo one knew what
might happen OF course Jimmie's
father laughed at that, and said he
hoped Uncle Hensh would live forever,
Whereupon his wife said she meant
nothing of the kind. only Jimmie
alone remained calm. He had never
seen Uncle Henshaw. He wondered
vaguely whether he would like the
great man, relates Youths Compan-
ion.
"What kind is hep he asked.
"Why," began his mother, and
paused, at a loss for a description
which should be impressive without
being vulgarly snobbish, why, he
almost received the nomination for
governor"
rs that a kind by itself?" asked
Jimmie, with unconscious irony.
His mother said Jimmie was SO
like his father that she did not be-
lieve it was a bit of use for him to
make a visit at Dovedale. But de-
spite the unpromising outlook, she
spent the time before his departure
striving to make him as unlike his
father and himself as possible by
words of admonition and caution.
Jimmie's parents saw him off. Great
was their surprise to have him re-
turned two days later with a note.
The note was written OF one of Uncle
Henshaw's visiting cards, and was
brief:
"Your Sol will tell you why he was
SEM home"
sit must be something that you
said," Jimmie's mother began. aft
er all l said to you, tool"
mo, honestly, mother, I never said
a thing!" protested Jimmie. 81 only
asked questions"
"Then is vas something you did,
affirmed his mother. "What did you
do?"
"Notmuch," said Jimmie, with a red
'dening face. "I-just caught the gold
fish in his aquarium"
"How many?" asked Jimmie's ia
Their.
81 don't know. He got there before
I could count up"
"Oh, how could you be SO cruel?"
said his mother.
81 don't KNOW" said Jimmie, des-
perately. 81 didn't feel cruel. Truly,
l didn't. But that was the only thing
l could think of that you hadn't told
me not to do"

The SAFEST RAILWAY CARS.
II ecent Wrecks Arouse Interest in =
Subject Which IL Frequently
Discussed by Travellers.

(Which car is the safest one to oc-
cupy in a railroad wreck?" is a ques-
ton that has received much considera-
ton at the hands of travellers.
The recent railroad wreck on the
Grand Trunk in Canada, in which 20
or 80 persons were killed, has caused
revival of the discussion, especially i'll
this vicinity, where raiSoad wrecks
have occurred with alarming frequen-
cy during the last year, says the Cleve-
land Leader.
Railroad men are net among those
who discuss this question seriously.
This problem to all intents and pur-
posses was solved by them long ago.
When a railroad superintendent hears
the mere report Of a wreck, he can tell,
If he knows the makeup of train
and whether Il was a head-on or rear
end collision, which of the cars re-
ceived the brunt of the shock.
Railroad wrecks in the neighbor-
hood of Cleveland are usually Of the
rear-end collision or head-on collision
variety, and in no case in the last de-
cade have the casualties been heavy.
Another kind Of wreck is caused by the
spreading OF rails. There have been
three or four of these near Cleveland
within the last two years.
"As a general principle, it is safe to
stick to the Pullman cars" Is the ad-
vice OF an old railroader, "and if there
Dbl ha
the cars and try to occupy the heaviest
of them. Whatever you do, keep out
Of the smoker"
There are good and sufficient rea-
sons for this advice. The smoker on
train, TO begin. with, is, the lightest of
all the cars as a rule, and Is generally
at the forward end of the train. II
the baggage car happens to be heavily
loaded the smoker IL pinched between
two heavy sections, and, offering the
least resistance, Is reduced to hndling
wood.
The car that receives the toughest
treatment in n wreck, however, Is the
mail or baggage car Unless this car Is
extraordinarily heavy, 1t Is bound to
suffer. In every wreck that has taken
place near this city during the last two
years the baggage ear has borne the
brunt Of the shock, and has been the
most dangerous car in the train. In
the recent Erie wreck at Union street
great holes were punched through the
bottom Of the car, IL was Invested Of
its trucks, and was so badly shattered
that the trunks and boxes inside were
scattered around the wreck The
other cars were not damaged much,
with the exception Of some badly
smashed window lights.
