monkey Rides in Enalns cab.

When Engine No. S26 of the New
York Central went into the freight
yards at Tarrytown one night last
week strange face peered out Of the
cab window. The train carried some
animals belonging to the Boston show.
When it stopped at way station a
few miles above Tarrytown, Admiral
Farraguet, one of the largest monkeys,
escaped. When the train started, the
monkey made quick scramble for the
front car. when the glow of the fire in
the cab Of the locomotive appealed to
him. The Admiral made his way over
the tender and entered the cab, to the
surprise of Engine Driver Edwards
and Fireman Martin Kelly. He was
made comfortable, and allowed to con-
tinue his ride to Tarrytown, where
one OF the keepers took him in charge.

I'M Roaary.

Thus I begin, when l first awake,
My soul all conscious of its needs
To pray for strength and for His sake,
To follow where my Master leads.
And gently, step by step. I go,
Still copying Him in all l do,
And never hurried, never slow,
L try to keep my Lord in view
I cannot pray, on Bonded knee,
And so I say the Rosary.
And when the morning work is DONE
And l would pause to pray or rest,
No rest have / in shade or sun,
Yet all is well, He loves me best
l press along the patient way
OF meek obedience with my cross,
So tired perhaps, but who shall say
That following Jesus is a loss?
1 cannot pray on Bonded knee,
And so 1 say my Rosary
Self-love is mortified each day.
And pride is trampled in the dust;
And l must work when l would play,
Though l am neither good nor. just,
The angry passions, unsubdued,
The love of ease. the fear of strife,
The shrinking from the coarse and rude,
Are daily trials of my life;
Yet, bead by bead, dear Lord, for Thee,
try to say my Rosary.

Then the soul of man grows larger, like

And the banner cry Of onward calls the

True to his word, the attorney was

On the day set for the execution, a

ening to his full height, his glance
swept quickly over the half circle of
faces about him. At one point, his
gaze halted, and a puzzled look came
into his eyes. This was followed
quickly by a look of Frightening in
telligence, and a smile wreathed his
pallid face.
The waiting crowd looked in awed
fascination at the man who could
smile at such a moment. Then the
sheriff stepped forward. Time was
up.
After one swift glance at his almost
fainting mother, Bill Trip turned
slightly, fixing his eyes upon the top
most branch of a nearby tree, his body
drawn erect, and stiffened as if to re-
sist a shock, while about his lips the
strange smile still fingered.
At that instant, there fell upon the
tense, nervous ears of the waiting
crowd, the distant report of a rifle,
and on the white forehead of the
man before them, there appeared a
tiny blotch, from which a widening
band of crimson spread rapidly, as
Bill Trip sank upon the platform.
