A MUSKOGEE STORY.

The following story first appeared in the Woodmens
Journal and has since been verified by many reputable
Muskogee citizens.
"a farmer named Johnson who lives five miles north
of MusKogee, planted pumpkin seeds last spring
along the tracks of the NJ, X & q railroad When the
pumpkins appeared they proved to be rapid
One evening about shutdown vine crep the track
and bore pumpkin between the tracks When the
north bound Worlds Fair Special along the engi-
made obstruction upon the track ahead and
barely stopped the train in time. Going forward he
found it to be mammoth pumpkin, which had develop
ed within few hours The engineer assisted by the
train and three coach loads of passengers tried to
roll the pumpkin off the track but it wouldn't bulge.
The train then backed to Muskogee and the wreck
ing called out from Denison Holes drilled in
to the pumpkin and it broken into fragments by
blasting The track was then cleared and the passenger
train proceeded its Journey five hours late Farmer
johnson says he going to bring suit against the rail-
road company recover damages for the loss of the
pumpkin Please do not try verify this story by ask
ing the railroad officials about it, because they would
probably deny it, railroad companies like to admit
catastrophes which delay their trains"

Queer Currency.

Dewarra, a currency Of New Britain
is an instance Of how the spoiIs Of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign Of wealth.
Dewarra is made by stringing the shells
Oh a dog-whelk upon the ribs Of palm
leaves. These strings mae be retailed at
so much fathom--usually the price is
equivalent to about three shillings a
fathom Iength-or they may be made
into various articles Of personal adorn-
ment to be worn on great occasions. In
New Britain the dewarra boarded up By
rich man is produced at his funeral
and divided among his heirs in much the
same kind Of way as personal property
Is divided amongst US.

The Railroad Nerve-C Center.

Kind Words.
We are a railroad-riding people, and
are so familiar with this mode of travel
that 1t hardly ever occurs to any one
how much our safety depends on the
diligence OF many, but particularly of
one who may be termed the nerve-cen-
ter OF the road. He Is the train dis
patcher, and of him and his work
Frank 81. Spearman thus speaks in
The Outlook
"The work of this marvel, fixing for
am9ment the attention of the world, is
only the work OF the train dispatcher,
who, sitting under his night lamp,
blindfolded by four white walls, his
right hand on the key and his eye
fastened on the figures OF train sheet,
forces his mind when other men are
asleep, to visualize the long, winding
miles OF his dlyision--its trains, it's
passing tracks and curves, its towers
and st at ons, its semaphores and
switches. At twenty points in the
darkness OF bis night, and depending
for safety on the clear, instant working
of his mind, are swiftly moving trains
Of Pullman cars loaded with sleeping
men and women whose waking rests
with him alone. This man is no &C.

can that one mests in the street car or
ON the corner. He cannot choose his
days for playing his games; he plays
every day from 8, a. M, till 4, p. M,
or from four till midnight or he takes
his transfer at midnight and sits
in his chair through the last of the
watches of the night. He cannot play
twenty games and rest he must for
eight hours be ready steadily for every
game that comes over the wires against
him, whether of storms, blockades,
breakdowns or wrecks. He cannot
load up with coffee or strong cigars
for the strain OF one night, because be

the next night and On every night
No one marvels concerning him; nc

tention whatever to him, until perhaps
after thousand or five thousand such
