Stepped Against a Hot Stove.

A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Ben
son, when getting his usual
Saturday night bath, stepped
back against a hot stove which
burned him severely. The child
was in great agony and his
mother could do nothing to
pacify him. Remembering that
she had a bottle of Chamber
lain's Pain Balm in the house,
she thought she would try it.
In less than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet
and asleep, and in less than
two weeks was we'll. Mrs. Ben
son is a we'll known resident of
Kellar, Va. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic liniment and espec-
tally valuable for burns, cuts,
bruises and sprains. For sale

The Best Remedy for Group
From the Atchison, Kan, Daily
Globe.
This is the season when the
woman who knows the best
remedies for croup is in demand
in every neighborhood. One of
the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the
middle of the night by a whoop
from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as
sure to be lost, in case of Group,
as a revolver is to be lost in
case of burglars. There used
to be an old-fashioned remedy
for Group, known as hive syrup
and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is better,
and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to "throw up
the phlegm'' quicker, and give S
relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the
croupy cough appears and it
will prevent the attack. It
never fails and is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale! by Ell

The arrangements of the

st. Paul and Northwestern
railroads have decided to re-
duce the Chicago Pacific coast
trainservice beginning Novem-
Der %. Two through trains
will be discontinued and improt-
ant changes will be made in
the Chicago-Denver service.
The reason assigned for this
action is the fact that economy
demands that they should be
M ade, and it has been found
that the changes will not mater
tally affect the public. The re-
duced train service, it is claim
ed, will be sufficient to care for
al demands. The two trains
which will be taken off are
known on both the St. Paul and
Northwestern roads as Nos. 4
and 5. The latter now leaves
G licago at 9:45 q. m. on the St.
Paul and the other at 1915 on
the Northwestern. The OPP
positc train leaves San Francis
CO at 8 a. IN. and arrives at
Chicago at 9::55 p. m. No. 5
carries sleepers for Los Angeles,
Portland and Seattle and the
opposite train picks up sleepers
from the north coast points at
Green.
In order that the Chicago
Denver and the Chicago Omaha
service may not be impaired,
the two railroads out of Chica-
go have decided to put on a new
Chicago-Denver train, which
will leave Chicago at 10 a. N.
on the St. Paul and the North
western and will be combined
at the Missouri River. In adj
dition to these changes the
Northwestern will change the
time of departure from Chicago
OF its Colorado special. This
train now leaves here at $50
p. m. and will hereafter leave
at 1915 a. M, making it a day
light train out of Chicago.
Elstbound there will be no
change in the Colorado Especial.
Some time ago the manage
ments of all western roads de-
cided that reductions in train
service must be made wherever
they could be accomplished
without inconvenience to the
public and the changes are in
pursuance of this policy. It is
understood that many import
ant alterations in the train SER
vice between Chicago and other
points will be effected in the
near future.

penalty for forgetting"
The answer is supposed to
lie somewhere in the code of
rules and signals which the
officials have devised for the
operation of these fast trains.
These rules, of which there are
about 700 for each 125 miles
between New York city and
Chicago, were made for the
safety of the public, but the
public may look askance when
lit learns that one man M st re-
member 700 of them, and that
a slip on any one rule may
mean a shocking loss of human
life.
These 700 rules are the aver
age for each division of the
chief railroad lines running
west from New York. Each
set covers the work of one en-
gineer, who drives his train
until another engineer, with a
fresh set of rules, and presum-
ably a fresh memory, relieves
him. In other words, eight
men, the average number of
locomotive engineers who drive
a fast train between New York
and Chicago, must keep con-
stantly in mind nearly 5000
different rules, in order that
patrons of these trains may
travel without risking their
lives. What this means to the
public, in twenty-four hours
ride on one of these trains, can
be judged from the following
list of what an engineer on a
certain 1O0-mile run has to
watch, while his locomotive is
going at sixty miles an hour:
Five hundred "cross-over'
switchlights, to learn whether
they are red or white. Fifteen
"interlocking" switchlights, to
learn whether they are red,
white or green. Seven mon
interlocking" switch-lights, to
know whether they are red or
green. Semaphore are at
twenty-five way stations, for
possible red lights. Four hum
dred highway crossings, to
know whether they are "clear.'
Locomotives of a dozen trains
approaching on parallel tracks
for red or green lights. Tele-
graph operators at twenty-five
way stations, who may be wait
ling near the track with orders
For a red flag at any conceiv-
able point in the 100 miles, dis
played as a danger signal.
Whether one or two torpedoes
are exploded at any point in
the 100 miles, signifying "cau-
ton" or "stop.' Whether his
clearance card is good for each
of twenty five way stations.
Whether there is enough water
in the engine boiler. Whether
there is enough water in the
engine tender. Whether there
is enough coal in the engine
tender. Whether the steam
pressure is being kept up.
Whether the fireman is obeying
another long set of rules.
Whether the engine bell rings
at 400 highway crossings.
By day the switch and signal
lights are replaced by signal
boards and ''blocks," the color
or direction of which must be
read as literally as the lamps.
The engineer who notes 500 of
these signs from his cab win
dow and misses the Tooth has
taken in race track language, a
200 to II shot with a trainload
of human lives.
The public has good reason
to ask whether the safety limit
has not been reached with both
speed and rules. There must
be a point, where the locomotive

west OF town. and when they had all
gathered and we're enjoying them
selves, the door opened and in
walked two peculiar forms that
closely resembled negroes, man
and a woman. The assembled
guests at once became curious and
started to investigate. This the
two did not care to have them do
and started to get away and for
time there was lively chase, but
the visitors got away with some
torn clothes. 1t proved to be a
couple of the boys who were follow
ing the custom OF the old country
in calls and if they had known
there was gathering they would
doubtless have called some place
else.

Rules Governing Rural Delivery
Routes.

1. The Department looks to the
patrons of the Rural Free Delivery
service who are receiving the bene.
fits of the service, to use the ut
most personal endeavors, and also
to exert their influence with the
road supervisors, or with those
officials who are responsible for the
condition of the highways, to the
end that the roads travelled by the
rural carriers may be always kept
open and in such passable shape
that the service can be regularly
and punctually performed.
2. Should the regularity OF the
service be needlessly destroyed as
the result of inattention and lack of
care bestowed on the highways, the
permanent withdrawal of the de-
livery will very likely result.
8. Rural letter carriers are re-
quired to serve their routes regular
.ly at all seasons of the year and in
every kind of weather when it can
be done without seriously imperil-
ing their lives or endangering their
conveyances or the u. s. mail which
is in their custody.
/ 4. Patrons should clear away the
snow drifts, $50 that carriers can
drive up to and reach boxes from
their vehicleswithout disrnounting.
B. lt7is not part of the carriers
duty to break out the roads after
severe snow storms.
6. Rural carriers are expected to
energetically try to serve their
routes even though the conditions
may be extremely adverse, and any
undue lack of zeal on their part
should be promptly brought to the
attention of this office for such
action as the merits of the case
require.
