He Needed Assistance.

They had been pressing him hard
the whole week. The house was full
of widows and pretty girls and all the
other men but himself had flown be-
cause they could not stand the pace.
He refused to be disturbed in his sum-
mer arrangements and so he stayed ON.
Sunday night they had him in the
corner and the time began to wane
when some one started the game of
"what you'd rather be if you had your
choice" There were lot of answers
and chorus of laughter and the usual
noise that goes with summer resort
pastimes, and they saved the lone man
for the climax. When it finally reach
ed him, says the New York Times, II
found him not only ready, but willing

Henry Gassaway Davis found his
first advancement when he secured the
coveted position of brakeman on a
freight train on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. It was not long before
he was advanced to the more respon-
sfble position Of freight conductor, re-
sponsible in these days, but far more
so, relatively, in those. At "a he was
again promoted, this time to the posi-
ton Of superintendent in charge Of the
running of all the trains. He intro
duced an innovation which marked a
decided advance step in railroading.
Up to that time, 1t had not been con-
sidered practicable to run trains at
night; when nightfall came, freight
trains and passenger trains alike were
tiled up" their journeys to be resumed
only when daylight came. Davis held
there was no good reason why they
should not be run by night as we'll as
by day, and proved it. His first night
train from Cumberland to Baltimore
marked an important epoch in railroad
ing.-Leslie's Monthly Magazine.

GuatemaIa's sic CoRee Crop.

When the volcanic eruptions IN Guat-
emala last year covered the coffee I'm
cas- it was believed that the industry
was ruined and that Guatemala had
received a blow from which recovery
would be slow. Many planters aban-
doned their ash covered plantations
and believed themselves ruined. But
the activity of the volcanoes was fol-
lowed by heavy and long continued
rains. which washed away a great deal
of the ashes and incorporated more Of
them with the soil. The rain also
seemed to bleach the ashes and extract
fromit a liquid fertilizer which proved
of great benefit to the coffee trees. The
result is crop nearly as large again
as last years. Hereafter when the
volcanoes Of Guatemala erupt and
spout ashes the only unfortunate coffee
planters will be those whose fincas are
outside of the showers London Globe

Tie haxen-haired girl busily engaged
In emptying pot of jam which had

had the jam plastered all over her face

her before the captain on the bridge.
Many of the passengers, seeing the
little girl being dragged crying before
the captain, gathered about to learn
the cause of the trouble. Captain
krech, who on his ship, like all other
captains, Is judge, jury and court OF
appeals, listened to the charges with q
stern look. Besides learning that the
little girl had taken the jam he also
learned that her father and mother
were poor and could not provide any
sweetmeats for her. When the case
had been presented Captain Krect
thought over the evidence fer a time

he pronounced her guilty.

Railway SUPREMACY.

Texas is neck and neck with Illinois
IN the race for the largest railroad
mileage. Illinois has been In the lead
for some time, but it looks as if she
would not long hold the supremacy.
In the last authentic report Illinois is
credited with 1853, Texas 11,499
Pennsylvania 1O,82O, Iowa 9,9O8 and
New York 1872 miles. By the rate OF
Increase Texas, which has only four
teen miles less than Illinois, will &c
to the head of the list. AS indicating
her possibilities for future develop
ment 1t may be noted that if she had as
many miles of road as Illinois in the
ratio Of area she would have mileage
Of 1928, but If no more in proportion
to population. the number would be
4,210 less.-Louisville Courier-Journal

Refused to Eat Eight Courses,

A story is told of a distinguished
SipIomat from Japan who was the
guest of honor at dinner in Wash
ington. After the first two courses of
oysters and soup, aG the walters were
bringing in the fish, he exclaimed:
"What! Can anyone possibly want
more to eat?" During the remaining
six courses he opened his mouth for
the exclusive purpose Of conversation.
When his abstemiousness was CON-
mented upon, he said: II am satisfied.
I feel bright and wide awake. If l
were to eat as much as you do, ]
should fall asleep, and then could NOT
make my speech. Most Of the men
around this table are fat, because they
eat too much. It Is misfortune to be
go fat. l am stronger and healthier
Than any fat man."

How Jim Brann Came Home.

Now, this was the way jam Brann came
home-he came in the hobo style,
Tucked on the trucks and clutching a
truss for many weary mile.
And here in the ways Of his boyhood
days, with thoughts Of his youth
reborn,
He stumbled and cursed the wretch he
was with something like honest
scorn.
He thought of the lies his letters had
told TO the loving folks back
there
Protestations or decent ways and VOWS
that his deeds were square.
Lies and hes-the soothing lies! He had
held them better than truth.
But here, in the hush Of the fields Of
home, shame gnawed him with
tearing tooth.
Guile and guilt for the folks at home!
Yet these not half the woe,
For wickeder far his mock Of love-and
now they must know, must know!
And under the hlac's shrouding shade, in
the lamplght's mellow glare,
He knelt by the window-sill and gazed
ON the old folks sitting there.
Staring in from the chill of night on thu
old homes Preside
And hearing the trustful boasts of those
to whom his letters lied.
They were telling one who sat with them
the news of their worthy son,
or his proud success and his stand
'mongst men, in the great wide
world up yon.
And mother, bringing her rosewood box
where all she priced was kept,
Read once again what Jimmy wrote and
reading, softly wept.
And when their neighbor went his way
the father turned the lock
And laid the rug across the door and
wound the old tall clock,
Then read the Word in solemn tones, anG
knelt and prayed for Jim,
Beseeching little for themselves but al
Gods gifts for him.
Then all the house was dark and still
but in the night outside
There wrthed a sobbing, tattered wretch
"a prodigal denied!
Thrust back, not by the hands of homt
but by his guilty heart
By conscience towering grim and ster1
and bidding him depart.
What! bring before a fathers gaze tina
face, of sin the scroll?
And thrust beside a mothers heart tina
black and bistered soul?
No! Forth he strobe beneath the stars
drenched now with honest tears
That swept from heart and soul an,
brain the shameful, bitter years,
And with a prayer-an honest prayer
he sought the grace Of God.
And bent and kissed the worn old sill hi
parents feet had trod.
Then. standing, smote his breast an
cried, Go forth once more, jim
Brann,
And stay, God help you, till you bring
clean and honest man"
So that was the way Jim Brann wen
back to fight the fight Of men!
And that was why God seemed SO goo
when he came home again!

LIVELY DISCUSSION
IN F. S. CLARK CAMP

The Lieutenant F. S. Clark Camp, No.
26. of the Spanish-American War Veterans
held a very lively session at the Statehouse
last evening. There seemed to be some
discord among the members, as some of
them wished TO apply for a duplicate char
ter The only reason given for this was
that they would have another charter in
their possession in case anything should
happen to their old one. Some of the char
ter members thought that in getting a new
charter they would lose their rank in the
national organization. The motion on the
whole seemed to create quite a good bit
of feeling on both sides A committee,
consisting of Lieutenant Clark, Captain
Anderson, Joseph Carson, Jesse Everroad
and Earl Fisher, was appointed TO look into
the feasibility of purchasing a home for
the camp. In case this is done shares will
be sold the same as In building associa-
tions. The home will also be a place for
storing relics which members have gath
cred in foreign countries. This committee
will report Feb. 10. when the election of Of
ficers will take place.
