GLAD.

Goodnight kissf Well, here It is!
Arms out to your daddy!
Wee red lips a-pucker. too!
Tell you he's SO glad he
Hardly knows the way to say
Half the things he's feelin'
When you're down beside his chair
Nighty.robed an kneelin'!
You are all the world an more!
You're his glimpse of Heaven!
In LIES loaf Of heavy bread
You're the lump Of leaven!
In life's sober days and drear.
In the evenings after,
Days you're Just sunbeam, dear,
Nights q gust Of laughter!
Twtxt your two wee dimpled fists
You can knead your daddy
Into anything you will!
Kiss you? He's so glad he
Feels like eating you alive!
Heaven never blesses
Any man with sweeter things
Than a baby's caresses!
Chase the butterflies and laugh!
Life's a picnic, truly!
Fling your tousled curls abroad!
Let them be unruly!

Through each night and day time
Thorns and sorrows from your path,
Make your life q playtime!

GIRL FOUGHT ALLIGATOR.
Furious Reptile Overcome by Delicate
Maiden in Defense Of Mother
and Children.

A frail, slender girl, Miss Nelson one
fine night early in April, 1903. satquietly
beside her mother. From the next room
where the two little children had been
left playing came strange, grating
sound, relates q writer in Woman's
Home Companion. The older sister
stepped to the door between the two
apartments, only to turn pale with dis
may and horror, for there, fast asleep
on the hearth rug, lay the little brother
and sister, and crawling slowly across
the floor toward them great Shiny ALI
gator, evidently attracted to the house
by the hope of young kittens or pup
pies, wriggled and writhed. Its wicked,
stony eyes, grim with baleful light, were
fixed on the unconscious babies, and the
wide jaws, open and ponderous, dripped
with the foam of eager, unsatisfied
greed. Frantically calling to the dogs
outside the front door to enter and help
her, the brave girl caught up the large
lamp that stood just within the mothers
room, and hurled it full at the horrible,
gaping jaws. Then, leaping aside to es-
cape the furious onslaught thus brought
upon herself, she stopped quick as
thought, and tossed upon the high bed
in the corner the suddenly reused and
frightened children. She turned from
this task to find that the infatuated alli-
gator, diverted from its original purpose
and confused by the unexpected attack,
had dashed straight through the open
door and made its way to the bedside of
the helpless, terrified mother. Without
seconds hesitation the devoted daugh-
ter rushed to her aid.
A shovelful Of hot Goals from the glow
in fire thrown directly against the vi
cious eyes of the angry creature only
served to strengthen and intensity his
fury. Apparently his entire will was
now bent upon the destruction of the
helpless woman on the bed. The awful,
swapping jaws were within few feet
of her body when the desperate Alice,
returning from the kitchen with the
stout az that had Just required to her
memory, sank 1t to the helve in the thick
neck. Narrowly escaping severe in
jury in the death struggle that fol-
lowed, all but fainting with nervous
ness and conflicting emotions, the brave
girl followed this blow by others no less
telling and doughty. When the still
quivering, but no longer murderons
creature had been reduced to absolute
impotence the entire house looked as
though 1t had been wrecked by vandals.
and the weary conqueror found herself
suffering from many bruises.

secret of that progress, and what the cause of
our elimination from it's leadership?
"The secret of the unrivaled progress of the
United States-the secret of the swift forward
movement in our time that puts all preceding
social advancement to shame, is the training of
the mass of the people. So commonplace is this
fact that many a man misses its profound mean
ing. Sometimes men miss its meaning because
they use words that confuse them. Education
is one such confusing word. To Educate the
people means one thing to one man and another
to another. To most persons it smells of books
only. [ have several times had the depressing
misfortune to be caught at a real educational
meeting (and 1 dare say you have, too), and I
have been reminded by what I heard of blind
little men scrambling in a fog for a path that
was not there. Then [ have looked outdoors
and seen the roses blooming and thought of the
children that cannot bloom. Let us not use words,
then, about which men deliver dissertations. Let
us call it plain 'training;' for training is the thing
that has made the world a new world, that has
indicated Democracy, that has opened the door
for opportunities as fast as we can seize them
opportunities not only industrial and diplomatic,
but intellectual and moral also.
WE NEED NO UNsK1LLED L%ABoRERs.
"Looked at from the point of view of the in
dividual, it is clear that it pays an individual to
be trained. But how is it, looked at from the
point of view of the whole community? If I
want a man to shovel dirt, perhaps, I do not
need a trained mani want a man for seventy
cents a day, not for $3.50. If everybody in a
community be trained, who will shovel dirt and
chop the wood and draw the water? Does not
every community require a large number of I'M
trained, lOw-priced men?
"No!
"That is the fatal doctrine that our fathers
fell into and lost leadership thereby. It is this
doctrine that has cost the Southern States
one hundred years of progress, for this is nothing
but a sequel of slavery. If every man in the CON-
munity were trained, you could have your dirt
shoveled more cheaply than now. A trained man
would drive his scoop to your dirt, attach it to
an electric wire and shovel your dirt more accu-
rately, more quickly, more cheaply than any negro
in Alabama can do it. That sort of activity
is happening all over the Industrial world. Men
once pegged shoes by hand. They are pegged much
more cheaply by machinery. Whole towns are
given to shoe-making; and a man who invented
shoe-pegging machinery lately died and left a
great legacy to Harvard College. Men once
shoveled iron ore by spades. On Lake Superior
tons of ore are now lifted from the earth by ma
chinery, and it is not once moved by the muscle
power of man till it becomes steel rails and they
are laid on the road-bed. 1t is precisely this kind
of trained activity that has enabled the United
States to take the lead in the industrial world.
Here is the whole secret of it-training from the
very bottom up.

CHEAP LABOR IN FARMING.

Economic civilization moves forward only as
the whole mass of activity becomes more efficient.
Are you a lawyer? Your dirt .shoveler will never
pay you a large fee; but a trained man who works
trained dirt shoveler can never buy much from
you with his seventy cents a day. But a man
who earns four dollars a day is worth having as a
customer. Are you a railroad? Your unframed
man has little money to travel and nothing to
haul. Are you a cotton mill? Your unframed
man or woman can't buy much cloth on low wages.
Whatever you are, you fare better if all men
about you are trained, and you fare well in pro-
portion to the number that are trained.

NINE CHILDREN DEAD
PRECiPITATED INTO VAULT BY
JOlsTs UNDER FLOORING
GIVING WAY.

Cincinnati, Sept 23.-During the
morning recess Of the public school at
Pleasant Ridge, about twenty miles
north of this city, nine children lost
their lives. When school recessed
there was playful rush into the out
house, which gave way, precipitating
about twenty children into the vault.
All Of the victims were girls, the
Oldest being twelve years. The vault
contained over four feet OF water. The
nine who were thus killed served to
fiji up the vault so that the other
twelve were not drowned. OF the
twelve who were rescued, covered With
the filth OF the vault, it is reported
that halt Of them will die on account
of the internal poisoning In addition
to their internal sufferings several Of
those rescued are reported to have
suffered external injuries In broken
limbs.
1t is stated that the jolsts under the
flooring gave way and preclp11ated all
who were in the Clubhouse at the time.
The whole population soon surrounded
the school grounds and people We're
focking into town from tie surround"
ing country The excitement was in
tensifed b. complaints Of paFeDts
against school officers, who said that
the building and grounds were In
spected before the opening Of school

Sharp skirmishes at more than a
dozen points east of the peninsular

of this city and several severe out

that five great armies are massfng

Disobedience Of Orders the Alleged
Cause Of the Collision and tho Re'
oult|H9 Aea%y loss a LIE.

Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 26.-The
death list as result of the fearful
wreck on the Southern railroad near
Newmarket Saturday has now grown
to sixtytwo, and it will probably eK-
coed seventy before long, as many
Of the injured are in a serious cond1-
ton and more deaths will occur at the
hospital. Sunday there were six
deaths at that institution.
A force Of $50 men toiled all day
long Sunday at the scene OF the
wreck. Before o'clock Sunday morn
Ing the track was cleared to through
trains, but it required many hours to
clear the debris. Engineers Parrot
and Kline were found beneath their
engines, but their bodies were not
badly crushed. Small fragments Of
bodies were found in many instances
Sunday, but it is thought that they be-
long to bouies already found and
brought &c this city.
The cause Of the loss Of life in the
heavy eastbound train was explained
Sunday. 1t seems that the second
coach plougEed Hs way into bank in
such a manner that the other cars
were damned into it and. pushed on
by the weight Of heavy Pullmans,
were crushed like eggshells.
Physicians at the hospital state that
of the long list OF injured which they
have in their care, it is probable that
not more than four will die.
About 125 persons were injured.
The two passenger trains collided
eighteen miles east Of Knoxville.
According to the best information
the wreck was due to failure OF the
crew OF the vestbound train to carry
out it's orders to meet the eastbouni
passenger at Hodges station. In.
stead of making the siding at Hodges,
1t proceeded toward Knoxville, with
the result that collision occurred.
Engineer May Have Been Dead.
The possibility exists that the engi-
neer of the westbound train may have
been asleep or dead. But nothing is
known save that. the orders were not
obeyed.
Both trains were running on time
and At thirty miles an hour. The To-
comotives we're demolished and the
major portions of both trains we're
wrecked with the exception Of the
1ullIlAQ cars, none OF WQnl lelI the
track.
The wrecked coaches were filed
with dead and injured and the rescue
work was accomplished with great
difficulty. A special relief train left
Knoxville as soon as possible. The
removal Of The vreckage and the
wounded and dead commenced as soon
as the train reached the scene.
Some of the bodies may not be re-
covered and many remain unidentified.
All Of the killed live In the South
and most OF the injured are residents
of Tennessee. OF the persons injured
only few suffered serious wounds.
Most of the wounded sustained cuts,
bruises and shocks that ought not to
result seriously
The Vestbound passenger from Bris-
tol was light local, while the east
bound train carried Pullmans. two
day coaches and mail and baggage
car. The greatest loss Of life occur
red in the eastbOund train. In the
westhonnd only the engine crew were
killed
