assist with the milking. He was about
seven feet tail and slim as a hayfork.
When he took his seat at the breakfast
table and really got action on, the family
laid down their knives and forks and
stared. 1t was evident that William had
missed several meals before he arrived,
for he put away everything in sight
Perhaps you had better eat your din

the farmer, sarcasticaily, as he observed

empty plates
Maybe it would be a good idea" said
William in pleased tone.
The farmers wife cooked more food and

breakfast But when he had finished he
made no motion to leave the table.
Probably you could eat your supper

And / hear not the fan of q fOOtstep
Around me. save Gods and my own;
And the hush Of nv heart is as holy
As hovers where angels have flown,

Long ago I was weary OF noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago 1 was weary Of places
Where I met but the human-and sin,
In the hush Of the Valley of Silence
I dream all the songs that I sing
And the music floats down the dim

That TO hearts like the Dove of the

And God and His angels are there.

And one the bright mountain Of Prayer.

A DARING BANK THIEF
His Enterprise, However, Was Un-
 successful.

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-Just at the close of banking hours today man in the lobby of the First National bank of this city, observing the cage door lead ing behind the counter ajar, pushed 1t aside, walked in, and, helping himself to a bag containing s2O,O0O in gold coin, made a rapid exit. He slowed down and walked into the side entrance ot Brooklyn hotel, which leads to the dining room, closely followed by C. K. Mcintosh. When asked to turn over the money he said it was his own. The bag was taken from him, however, and its contents were found to have been undisturbed. The daring robber, who is about S5 years of age and well dress ed, then called on the clerk of the hotel to see if he had not told the truth by accompanying him to the bank, only a few feet away. He walked to the corner undisturbed and then caught a street car which was passing and was soon out of sight. He is now being searched for by the police.

THE SOLlDlTY OF MEXICO
President Diaz's Message to the
 Congress.

Mexico City, Sept. 1T.-President Diaz's message delivered at the con- vening of congress was of usual length and dwelt particularly on the friendly relations existing with all foreign DOW CTS. He reported the result of the sani- tary campaign against yellow fever as gratifying. There has been no recur- renee of the disease in an epidemic form during this year. The railway systems of the country have increased greatly during the past year and the federal telegraph system has steadily grown. He states that the new war vessels constructed in the United States and Italy will add to the importance and efficiency of the navy. No mention is made of the monetary reform, which may come before congress this year or next spring in special session.
 The message is replete with facts demonstrating the great progress made here and the business community re- gards it as contributory to maintaining domestic and foreign confidence, as 1t shows a remarkably solid condition of the national finance.

WESTERN ARMY POSTS
Recommendations by Gen. Sumner
 Affecting Some in Arizona.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Major General $. s. Sumner. commanding the south western division, comprising the de partments of Texas and Colorado. in his annual report, makes some radi- cal recommendations looking to the of military posts in those divisions regarded of the greatest i'm portance in the old days of Indian war fare. Some of the posts he wishes to be brought up to date in the matter oi water and other conVeniences as in the case of Fort Huachuca. He wants this post enlarged and if that is done he suggests the abandonment of Fort Grant. which is too distant from the railroad.
 Fort Clark is said to be in a tumble down condition ten miles from the railroad on q limestone ledge and in a most uncomfortable position. He says it would seem well to abandon the site of Fort Clarke and establish a post of like size near Eagle Pass. Touching Fort Ringgol1 on the Rio Grande op-
 posIte Camarago it is said the twenty
 mile road connecting il with Havana
 on the railroad. is practically impas-
 sable in wet weather, so General Sum- ner recommends that Fort Ringgold
 be abandoned at an early date and the garrisons at Fort Brown and Fort Me Intosh be correspOndingly increased If these suggestions are adopted there will be a line of posts on the Mexican border covering all rail com munication between the United States | and Mexico. Another post that might be bandOned is Fort Wingate, while | Fort Apache is said to be too remote 1 and expensive to maintain at full strength and should be reduced to g 1 two troop post.
 General Sumner says he intends tC
 have maneuvers next autumn on ar
 extensive scale in this division and Inc
 is preparing to-submit plans for the
 same to the war department He men tions Fort Sill and Fort Reno reserva tiOns as desirable fields for maneuv CTS, but if it is considered advisable t' go further south, then the cOuntT! | north of San Antonio generally knowI as Leon Springs is said to possess man! adVanta geS.

A TRAIN LEFT THE TRACK
Twelve Persons Injured, Many of
 Them Seriously.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-A passenger train on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern was wrecked this afternoon at the crossing of the tracks at Root street. Reports of the cause differ. some of the railroad people claiming that the train ran into an open switch, and others saying that the To- comotive jumped the track because of a broken flange. Twelve persons were injured and several of them may die. The following are the casualties
 John Schuter, Elkhart Ind, engineer. fracture of the left leg and compound fracture of the left arm; not expected to live; J. P. Lane, Kalamazoo, fire man, head cut, internally injured, con- dition serious; Geo. Leffert, Clayton, Mich, two ribs broken, left leg and right collar bone broken; Mrs. Susan Burdel, Chicago, spine injured and both arms paralyzed; condition serious; F. Pluncus. Chicago, serious, both hands mangled; c. Folkus, Atchison, leg brok- en: A. Trorog, Chicago, leg broken; A. H. Blaessing, Chicago, head cut: Miss Jean Martin, Pasadena. Cal, badly bruised, not serious; w. C. Weiss, se- verely cut about the body.
 The train was running at high rate of speed to make up lost time. The tracks are elevated and it happened | just before the train reached the cross ing over Root street. The engine left the track, but the forepart of the ten | der struck the end of the viaduct rail- i ing and was torn to pieces. The en- zine plunged to the far side of the via
 duct and a rail torn form its fastenings rose on end and transfiXed the real
 of the engine cab and fore part of tho baggage car. It held the wreckage SC
 closely that several hours work witt cold chisels was necessary before thu
 wreckage of the baggage car could b'
 removed Four cars next behind tn
 baggage car were piled in a heap at tn north end of the viaduct, and all O ! them were badly smashed. An over
 turned stove in the rear coach set fir
 to the wreckage, but it was sXtinguish
 ed by the fire department before it ha
 gained very much headway.
