TESTING rHE1R .EFFTcAcY.


 James Whitcomb Riley was fond of telling the following story:
 : A certain young mother was striving to bring up her small son in a proper Christian manner.
 His day ended with the usual short prayer at his mothers knee before go- ing to bed.
 "One night she was called away and returned to find him snuggled under the warm blankets.
 Did you say your prayers, dear?" she inquired.
 Nope, was the answer.
 Are you not going to say them?
 !" I didn't say 'em last night nor to- night said the small heathen,' cheerfuly. an then, if nothin' happens tomorrow night, I won't say 'em any more at all, Cleveland Leader. 2.

Accommodation train, made up OF To-
connective No. Is, combination and
smoking car No. 31S. and passenger
coach No. 1O6, and in charge of Con-
ductor Wight and Engineer Adell. met
with an accident in the Augusta upper
yard shortly after s o'clock, last even
ing.
The train is due i'm Augusta at o.oo'
making the run from South Gardner
as No. 300. and came in on time 1t is
the custom, after making the stop at
the station. for the train to proceed
further up the yard beyond the switch
formed by the east and west Douhd
tracks uniting after which the loco
motive shunts the cars in on the west
bound track making what is known as
flying switch and then runs down on
the east bound track. on it's way to the
round house, where there is a turn ia
BILE.
After being turned around. the To-
connective backs out and on to the west
bound track where the train is then
made up fo. the return trip to South
Gardiner. as No. 30S.
Last night the run up above the sta
ton was made. as usual, and the cars
were started in on the west bound
track. They should have run down to
the station. but owing to some trouble,
which was thought to be due to the
leakage of air. the cars stopped Short
ly after running in on the switch, and
the locomotive. in running back on the
east bound track. crashed into the
baggage end of the combination.
The force of the shock demolished
the steps and platform at one end, and
tore n bige hole in one corner of the
car, and also dented the rear corner
of the left side of the tender. opening
seam over a foot in length in the
water tank which caused the water to
run out in a very short time. No one
one the train was injured.
The locomotive was not disabled
enough to prevent its operation. and
the cars were backed down the track
as far AS the station, after which the
engine was run in to the round house.
where the hole in the tank was Tempo
rarily repaired. so that the locomotive
could proceed to Waterville. Later.
the passenger coach was attached to
train No. 80, and taken to South Gar
diner, while the damaged combination
car was taken to Waterville, for re.
pairs.
