IRON MOUNTAIN WRECK.

Iron Mountain passenger train No. 2 was wrecked at Higginson, Ark, early Saturday morning. From the advices from the scene of the wreck no serious damage was done to the passenger train. The freight into which it crashed at Austin station was damaged to some extent, and delayed southbound traffic for some time. There is no reason given for the wreck, and it is supposed to have occurred from a mere accident. The delay was slight, and traffic to St. Louis on Monday reached high water mark.

This line averages 140 passengers daily. It also has the contract for carrying mail from these points, which pays actual running expenses.

from a pound and a half to ssfve pounds, struggling for maturity in artificial mothers. These, like Richard H., are wee little things tsent into this breathing world scarce half made up," and the finishing touches are giv- en by the incubators. They are too weak to live in cur normal temperature, so they are kept in a temperature varying according to their condition and strength varying from 85 to 99 degrees.
 The air they receive is filtered through a box containing a jar of sulphuric acid and medicated cotton, and warmed over hot wa ter pipes. They are fed with a medicine dropper and later with a bottle until they are strong enough to live in our own atmos- phere, when they are given a diploma" and graduated to the pretty little model hospital in the same building, where they stretch out on their tiny white iron beds and kick and coo just like other babies who never saw an incubator. Four doctors and twelve nurses watch. over their destinies constantly, and the poorest child gets just as much attention as the child of the mill lionaire. It is a great lesson in humanity. Not a cent is charged for saving the lives of the little ones.
 ! When one considers that this institution on the pike at the worlds fair is the largest of it's kind in the world he is impressed with the grand possibilities before the wealthy and philanthropic through the establishment of similar ones in every large city in the universe. Would it not be equally as meritorious as the en- lowing of libraries and colleges Of what use are the latter to the baby which might have been saved and was not because of the lack of a baby incubator? How many brilliant statesman, orators, poets, diplomats and artists might not these incubators give tc the world?. The lines of Gray seem to aptly tell the story when they say:
 Full many gem of purest ray serene,
 The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear;
 Full many flower is born to blush unseen,
 And waste it's fragrance on the desert air

HEART DISEASE AND WORRY.
overexertion, Either Physical 0a Mental, Endangers Life in Case
 of Cardiac Trouble.

The influence of mental emotion OF the heartbeat needs no special proof in our everyday experiences. When the organ is healthy the palpitation is the ordinary response to an extra stimulus and is necessarily transient In duration. In confirmed cardiac dis- ease in which the valves are damaged or the heart walls dilated and weak ened, there is often great danger to life by overexertion, either physical or mental. It is the degree and con- tinuousness of excitement which thus work so disastrously.
 The young school-teacher of Green point who fell dead at the end of his first days duty is a case in point, says the New York Herald. He was evil dently oVerwrought with anxiety, and his crippled heart was unable to bear the constant strain. Unlike mere muscular exertion, the mental excit- ability was beyond control, especially when the new environment was the persistent disturbing element. This happens sometimes in the pulpit, on the lecture platform, and even before the footlights. Numerous examples have been noted from time to time.
 The preventives are in the line of avoiding all overexcitement and of needing all ominous warnings. This is most difficult obviously with mental emotions, as they are not always un- der the control of the will. The man with a weak heart who is running for train is compelled to stop in time for want of breath and thus remove the exciting cause of his palpitation. but continual and profound mental per is, alas too often beyond his ken. Alas! there was no one near The poor teacher to tell him

Mrs. George G. Harbin closed

of the term the minister of the

children work that the general
average was 96, with the exception
of one little tot, 6 years old lin the
primary class, whose average was
1919. This tot in a written exam
nation, correctly spelled and
marked the vowels of q words, the
entire examination. She also re-
cited correctly the tables FROM l to
10 without hesitation. Miss Alma
Rose Jacobs won first honor medal
of course-an average of 1919. Mrs.
Harbin felt that children who had
worked so faithfully deserved a
medal, SO she gave one which was
drawn for by the school and won
by Miss Rosa Farrat. Master
Adolph Meyer was awarded a
handsome silver pen for the best
average in penmanship. Had it
not been for the illness of Miss
Emma Francis Pease, another tot
in the primer class would have
tied little Miss Jacob for first
honor medal Monday CONNER
