Animal Omens.

The actions and voices Of domestic
animals on New Years Day are per
haps considered In some countries
more significant than any other
omens- A dogs cheerful bark IN the
morning Is a most suspicious sign
while his howl IS very unfaToraOle-
To meet a eat on the morn Of the
New Year Is considered By PeO-
pie IN the Latin countries as a sign
that they viii change their residence,
and il also betokens III for the fu-
ture- Throughout southern Europe
It is regarded as a most fortunate
sign to see a pig, signifying plenty
for the coming tweivemonth- The
sight OF a snake Is the worst con
ceivable omen, for It means death BY
violence To see q jackdaF, maybe
or crow Is a sign that the beholder
WI be cheated on all sides during
the following year.

NARROWLY SAVED his LIFE.
Conductor 8EcCaslin Knocked from Pilot
and Dragged Some Distance Before
He Could Be Released.
Conductor G. E. McCaslin had a

Conductor Q. Z. McCaslin had a very
narrow escape from being ground to
death under the trucks of locomotive
at Limon last Friday. First No. had
pulled into LimOn, Conductor McCaslin
and engineer Biddison handling the train.
They went in on the siding and were
waiting TO go to the round house. Two
freight cars were up the track blocking
the way Of the two engines which were
to take out the two incoming passenger
trains McCaslin said to Biddison, "If
you have steam enough We viii go up
and pull those cars down and let those
engines out on the line" BiddisOn said,
"AH right" Conductor McCaslin jumped
on the pilot taking hold Of the flag staff
on the bumper. The snow plows had
seOoped the snow into ridges, Lmon
station being in a deep cut, and there
was a deep trough on each side Of the
rail of snow and ice. As they were 90
ing up the track, Conductor McCaslin
facing the engine, a hummOck Of snow
knocked him of the pilot and he fell
into the slough at the side of the rail
He hung by the left hand and had pres
ence of mind enough to curl up his feet
bracing his knees against the cylinder
head. His feet were Just behind the
front wheel Of the truck but Just for
ward Of the second pair. In this peril
Gus condition he was showed about ten
car lengths. He hallOoed to the engin-
eer but the steam and exhaust drowned
his voice. Hanging for dear life he was
rescued by Brakeman Hunt who saw
his perilOus condition Just as Mr.. Biddi-
son slowed down to couple onto the cars.
Conductor McCasliu did not think he
was much hurt but he found it difficult
TO stand for awhile. He reported the
circumstance when he arrived home at
GoOdland and the next day was too
stiff and sore to 60 out when called.
Conductor AIcCaslin says he thought
of every good and bad thing he ever did
in his life in those few moments of his
imminent exposure to instant death.
He says: ''No man can tell me there
isn't judgment to come. know there
is. This Is the second time I have been
in imminent peril and each time have
reviewed my whole life IN a few mo-
mentsn
The escape Of Mr.. McCaslin was very
fortunate. The work he was doing was
purely volunteer. The lesson Is careful
ness and cOnscientiousness in daily life
on the road.

Walked On.

Walked On.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A good story is going the rounds in
railroad circles at the expense of W.
". Atterbury, the newly appointed
general manager OF the Pennsylvania
railroad. One of the rules. in aud
about the Altoona shops is the prohi-
bitiOn of smoking Shortly after Mr.
Atterbury's appointment as general
superinI- "dent Of motive power Of the
Pennsylvania railroad he was passing
through the yards one day, 50 the
story goes, when he observed a typical
old Irishman sitting In an engine cab
cOntentedly smoking his clay pipe.
Approaching him and greeting him
pleasantly 1Ir. Atterbury questioned
him about his employment and was in
formed that he was an ordinary labor
CT about the yard, whereupOn he asked
the Irishman if he was not aware that
/ it was against the rules for an employee
to smoke about the place and if he
vas not afraid some one Of the officials
might detect him. "Shur, n they niv-
| er come around, replied the Irishman.
But 1 am Mr.. Atterbury,n returned
/ the general superintendent OF motive
| power Withdrawing his pipe from
/ bis mouth and Iesning out Of the cab
window the reply came quickly: ats a
7 good jOb that you have young man.
See that you keep it" The Irishmau
then replaced his pipe, resumed his
seat and continued his smoke.

Simon Burns, general master work.
man of the Knights Of Labor, shows
sense in condemning the members of
those worlsingmen's societies who are
opposing President Roosevelt for his
action in the Miller case. The knights
executive board, at its meeting Just
held at Washington, adopted a series
Of resolutions in which It declared
that the president is the best friend
organized labor ever had in the White
House" The resolutions also say that
"the present move is a political one
in the interest of prominent Republi-
cans who control few labor organi-
cations, with a desire to attempt the
defeat of President Roosevelt.
Reports have been current in the
past few days that Wall street is be.

opposing the president for saying, in
the Miller case, that the statutes of
the United States must be paramount

sort of association This is the open

leaders have been trying to inject in.
TO politics. 1t would please the trust
magnates Of Wall street to see the
president defeated in the national
convention. They are working for
that end with all the resources at their
command, knowing that If he is nom
mated he will certainly be elected.
and that his campaign against the
trusts in the next four years will be
harder than it has been thus far until
he brings them under the control of
the law.
This league between the trust
bosses and a few labor leaders is the
sort Of an alliance which will quickly
be knocked out when the people get
chance at it. The vast majority of the
members of the labor societies know
that the words of the knights of labor
in praise of the president are true.
President Roosevelt 'fs the best
friend organized labor ever had in the
White House" His work in aid of
labor organized and unorganized, in
ending the coal strike last fall on
