THE EXPRESS TO sLEEPTowN.

I know q little traveller
Who every single night
Starts upon long, long journey.
That lasts till broad daylight.
Her ticket reads: "Sleeptown Express"
Stamped "Papa's Goodnight kiss"
And, when she pays him with a hug.
He says: Il thank you, Miss.
"Just take the berth marked 'Dreamyland,'
You mount it by the stairs. .ag..-..
Make haste, because the train should start
I Soon az you've said your prayers.
.'Remember, too, on this express.
You tightly close your eyes;
And no one reaches Sleepy Town r
b Who talks, or laughs, or cries.

His engine bell has rung,
The Passenger for Sleepy Town
Must surely hold her tongue.
BE ready. then, to jump aboard.
Kiss mother at tho gate.
It's after half-past seven, and
The train is due at eight.

A FOREST RANGER.
Nothing Like His Work for the Youna
Man who Wants to Get Near
to Natures Heart.

For the young man who loves out
door life there is hardly any employ
ment which offers better inducements
than that Of ranger in one of the great
forest reserves of the west. The govern
ment has devoted much attention to the
problem of protecting it's forests and
the wild game therein. and 1t offers
fascinating employment to young men
who know something of woodcraft and
who ara willing to dwell alone In the
wilderness the greater part Of the year.
The position of forest ranger has its
drawbacks as well as its advantages.
The ranger is often called upon to fight
the forest fire for days at a time, and
again he may come in conflict with
poachers on government land-desper-
ate men who are not inclined to parley
with anything but the rifle or revolver.
He may be snowbound for weeks and
months at q time, with no companion
but his pony, or perhaps some tiny
squirrels or other wild animals which
he has coaxed to his cabin, and with
which he has struck up companion
ship. On the other hand, there is no In
dividual who has a better opportunity
Of enjoying the wild, free life Of the
wilderness, of studying animals in their
native haunts, of learning the secrets
of that never ending book of the forest,
of whipping ideal trout streams and of
spending pleasant hours in pursuit Of
game, either with the camera or the
rifle.
The forest ranger is not held to Ger
tain hours of labor as strictly as the
government employe who labors in an
Office and who registers his arriving and
departing time on clock. He is prac-
tically his own master, sending written
reports to his superiors and sometimes
going weeks without seeing another

employe of the government He is fur
nished with comfortable quarters, usu-
ally a rustic cabin in an ideal retreat,
and he has the use of pony. His salary
may not be large, but there is little OPP
portunity for spending money, and as
result he may save more in a years
time than city employee who draws
twice as large figure from the gov
eminent treasury.
The work of forest ranger in a re-
serve like that adjoining the Yellow
stone is sufficiently varied to keep him
from feeling any touch of ennui. The
rangers day usually begins at sun up,
for the men of the west are not sloth-
full breed and are generally astir at
dawn. The ranger turns out Of his
comfortable bunk, or mayhap rises
from the bed which he has made at his
cabin doorstep outdoors. Although the
nights in midsummer are cold even to
the point Of freezing, the ranger, like
others Injured to western life, prefers
plenty of fresh air, and consequently
half of the time he rolls into his blank
cts out of doors and pulls his tartaulin
over his head, choosing to sleep that
way rather than in his we'll aired cabin
Sometimes he will find an inch of snow
over his tarpaulin when he awakes.
But for nine months of the year he
practically sleeps as we'll as works out
Of doors.-N. Y. Tribune.

Wanted to Get Rid Of Him.

Senator Wilmot, of Pennsylvania,
once called on President Lincoln to
ask that consulate be given party

and annoying, and who refused to be
satisfied with reasonable reward for

map globe stood in the room. Wilmot
stretched his arm around its surface
as far as he could reach, and replied:
II do not know what my Enger is
touchine-but send him there!"

DOGS BLOW BELLOWS.
UNIQUE Labor-saving Device Of q
New York Blacksmith Which
&c. Passersby Watch. .

On an uptown street, on the east side
of the city, hundreds of people daily
pause at blacksmith's shop to watch
three large Newfoundland dogs, which
are employed by the brawny smithy to
work the bellows of the FORCES of his
shop. In one corner of the shop is a
large wooden wheel, about eight feet
in diameter, and wide enough for dog
to stand in. When the wheel Is at rest
the dog stands in much the same posi-
ton as a horse in a child's rocker, with
it's head always turned toward the forge,
awaiting orders. When told to go
ahead" the beast on duty at once starts
on q brisk trot, which makes the wheel
turn around rapidly, and by means of a
crank and lever the power is conveyed
to the bellows. s
The dogs work willingly and with such
intelligence that people are never weary
of watching the efforts of the animals
to keep the smithy's fires bright. Each
dog works in the wheel for one hour
and then rests for two. They cost their
owner about two dollars week for each
to feed, and he estimates that they save
him $12 a week, as otherwise it would
require the services of two men or
small engine to do their work.-N. Y.

George Warrington Rock.
A most remarkable example of nature
sculpture in California is the George
Washington rock, about IS miles north
west of Los Angeles, in the Santa susanna
mountains. Near this rock two-nile
tunnel is being bored through the Santa
susanna mountains just outside Chats
worth park. A chiseled monument could
hardly bear truer likeness of George
Washington than this chance picture in
the ragged contour of huge bowlder.
Viewed from one point and only one, it
stands out sharp and distinct against
the sky. From all other points the rock
is shapeless mass. The image meas
ures fully rs feet from chin to brow, and
is close to the top of the hill. In the vi
cinity have been found Indian relics;
ovens, stones containing Indian writ
ings, arrow heads, mortars and many
traces of settlement of aborigines.
West Indian Life Plant.
"There is creeping moss found In
Jamaica, in Barbados and other islands
of the West Indies which is called the
"life tree" or more properly the life
| plant" Its powers of vitality are said
to be beyond those of any other plant.
It is absolutely indestructible by any
means except immersion in boiling
water or application of red-hot iron. 1t

AN EXPERT.
He Wanted : Conndential ClerksAfr
Because He Could He Very
Confidential.

Secretary Shaw says that shortly afte. he
assumed his duties as head of the treasury
department he was called upon by an old
gentleman from his own state of Iowa, who
wanted an appointment % confidential clerk
to one OF the assistant secretaries of that de-
partment.
I'm spite Of the fact that was very busy
at the time" says Mr. Shaw, II gave tho
Iowan the better part of an hour, for he was
as pleasant and entertaining an old chap 40
one could meet-bright, clipper and witty"
On account of his age, the secretary felt
So, gently but firmly, he informed him that
appointment. This did not dampen the old
gentleman's spirit in the least.
"Now, sir" said he, as I feel myself pecu-
liarly we'll qualified to fill one Of these con-
6dential clerkships, | hope that you will con
slider my application further"
Then, wagging his head most impressivelT.
he added earnestly:
ooh, sir, I could be 20 confidential"

Shortly afterwards she had bad bilious

In January, 1903, she had an attack Of
Sciatica of which she says: 81
Il was almost helpless with the Sciatica,

great faith in these medicines for they have
been of so much benefit to me"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
splendid cures Of Sciatica, Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles. Many families use no
other medicine.

cigar smoke, some gazing dreamily through
the windows at the passing cities, and
fields, and forests and rivers.
I stood on the rear platform of the last
car of our train and watched the California
Limited as she faded away toward the gold
en- west. And I thought of the difference
between travel now and travel in the days
of 40, when it took the gold-seeker half a
long, weary year, filled with all kinds Of
hardships, to travel the distance that is now
covered in three days. I thought of the
slowly moving wagons, the dust, the stones,
the jolting, the thirst, the hunger, the
plains, the laborious climbing of mountains,
the weary dragging weeks, the never ending
trail.
In these palaces that had just glided by

WHERE THE MOB REIGNS.

Mob claw" is still rampant at Grip
pile Greek, Cello, and deFortations OF
men continue. Since the troubles be-
gan over the differences between
miners and employers in that section
scores of men have been deported by Q
sort of vigilance committee, which
has been running things with quite
as high hand as Governor Peabody
militia. Only few days age lawless
crowd took fifteen men to the outskirts
of the city and warned them not to re-
turn under. penalty of meeting death
by assassination or hanging. Among
the men thus deported was Eugene
Engley, former attorney general OF
Colorado, and Frank ]. Hangs, attor-
new for she Western Federation of
Miners.
The Cripple Greek mob did not re-
peat the set of the former Colorado
mob, which seized Humher OF 'vniOn
,SympathlEere, chartered train and
took the dep0rtees to Gae Kansas line,
where they were turned loose. OTHERS
have been e0nfned in the "bull pea, "
a punishment tar worse than deporta-
tion.
At an expense of perhaps a million
or more dollars the state government
has been unable to restOSe peace 10
the mining districts, and the persons
in sympathy with the mise owners
have organized lswless banSs for the
purpose of banishiag those who take
sides with the strikers.
The mob reigns in the disturbed dis
trlcts of Colorado, and the mGn who
exercises the constitutional right TO
think and act for himself is ia danger
of deportation. That such condition
OF affairs is permitted to exist ia free
America is incredible.
