He moves it first on one side and then

The Cricket and the Lion.

One day the lion was out walking
in the wood. AS he was stepping near
an old rotten log, he heard a tiny
voice say: "Oh, please, don't step
there! That's my house, and with one
step more you will destroy it."
The lion looked down and saw lit
tie cricket sitting on the log. He
roared:s And is: it you, weak little
creature, that dare. tell me where to
step? Don't you know that am king
OF the beasts?"
''You may be king Of the beasts,
but am king Of my house; and
don't want you to break 1t down, king
or no king" 50
The lion was amazed at such dar-
ing.
Don't you know, you vsaklins,
that 1 could smash you and your house
and all your relatives with one blow
of my paw"
81 may be weak, but have a cousin
no bigger than I who can master you
in a fight"
ooh, no! Oh, ho!" laughed the lion.
"Well, little boaster, you have that
cousin here tomorrow, and if he does
not master me I'll crush you and your
house and your cousin altoether."
The next day the lion came back to
the same spot and roared, Nov,
boaster, bring on your valiant cous-
in!"
Pretty soon he heard a buzzing near
his ear. Then he felt stinging. "Oh!
OH" he cried. Get out of my earl"
But the cricket's cousin, the mos
quito, kept on stinging and stinging.
With every sting the lion roared l9xsIs'

1.-THE wrecking train stands ever
ready on a siding especially allotted
to it. This must not be used by any
other train under any conceivable cir
cumstances. If wreck occurs the
track must be cleared, from three to
five minutes being the time usually al
lowed for crew to get under way dur
ing the daytime. An engine ready to
haul the train to wreck stands al
ways waiting The water tank in its
tender is always full Its coal supply
is heaping tenderful. Steam Is con-
stantly kept up, and an engineer and
fireman are ever ready to jump to
work at minutes notice.
LAS soon as a disaster occurs the
wrecking train is given the right of
way over all other trains. At speed
ranging anywhere from As to rs miles
an hour the engine chases, shrieking
her whistle like frightened cat The
one object is to get the track cleared
so the main line of the road can be op-
Grated. No wreck ever happens but
what it piles over the main line-that
goes without saying. for it is within
the law of cussedness of things. And
what it means to have main line
blocked only an experienced railroader
can appreciate. There are the thou
sands of cars filled with perishable
stuff A score of freight trains and
coal trains are held up, many of their
loads intended for outgoing steamers
that cannot afford to wait. Thousands

Nearly a Political Tragedy.

What might have been serious local
disturbance, with a sorrowful ending,
was averted this morning by the
prompt action of one of our prominent
citizens.
About 10 a. m. a handful of poll
ticians were standing near the corner
of King and Fort streets, discussing
the merits of their several candidates,
painting their virtues in glowing col
ors, until one of their number took
offense at a supposed insinuation rela-
tive to a family skeleton. The discus
sion waxed very warm, several blows
were exchanged, and the argument
gave promise of being lively one,
until bystander proposed that the
subject under discussion be submitted
to arbitration, and be peaceably set
tied, the warlike aspirants for political
laurels agreed, and Bath the Plumber
was called, and decided that the Doug
lass Patent Closet was the best on
earth.

No Passes on That Line.

Peter Dressler, an old Pennsylvania
politician, and long the coroner of Allie
gheny county, had, among other traits,
a peculiar fondness for free railroad
passes, and never let an opportunity of
securing one go by. On one occasion he
was hearing the evidence in a rather
celebrated case when a neatly dressed,
gentlemanly appearing young man was
called to the witness chair. Looking
him over carefully, the coroner asked:
Whats your name?" George Blank"
Whats your occupation?" Secretary
Of the Y NJ C. A" Turning to his
clerk, the coroner whispered: John,
have we got any passes over that line?"
