HOW TO BE HAPPY.
The Legend of a Little Prince Who
Found the Secret in Kindly
Service for Others.

Once there was a king who had a
little boy whom he loved. He gave
him beautiful rooms to live in, and
pictures, and toys, and books. He
gave him a pony to ride, and a row.
boat on the lake, and servants. He
provided teachers who were to teach
him lessons that would make him
good and great.
But for all this the young prince
was not happy. He wore a frown
wherever he went, and was always
wishing for something new.
At length, n day, a magician came
to court. . He saw the boy and said to
p y but you must pay me a great price
for the secret"
well" said the king, whatever you
ask 1 will give"
So the price was paid, says the Sun
day School Gem. Then the magician
took the boy into a private room. He
wrote something with a white sub
stance on a piece of paper. Next he
gave the boy a candle and told him
to light it, and hold it under the pa
per and then see what he could read.
He then went away.
The boy did as he had been told, and
the white letters turned into a beauti-
full blue. They formed these words:
DO a kindness to some one every
day"
The prince made use of the secret.
and soon became the happiest boy in
the kingdom.

We thank Thee for their rest and for our
lightened gloom.
But, Lord, our living-who on stormy seas
OF sin and sorrow still are tempest

Our lead nave reached their haven, but

Teach us to trust Thee, Lord, for these
our loved and lost!
For these we make our passlon-prayer by
night;
For these we cry to Thee throughout the
day;
We see them notch, keep them in Thy
sight!
From them and us be, Thou not far away.
And If not home to US, yet lead them home
To where Thou standest at the Heavenly
gate,
That so from Thee they shall not further
roam:
And grant us patient hearts Thy gather

Then the paled, but she

And SO 1t is that only those who

A shrewd deacon of a country

Bible, said the sermon reminded him
of his neighbours first hunt for a deer,
"He follered the deer's tracks all right,
but he follered 'em in the wrong d.

a hearer depends as much on the d.

all his life as ON the direction in
which the preacher Is looking.-Con-

account Of being derailed soon after

WENT THROUGH BRIDGE
Freight Train No. 62 Has Five Cars
Plunge Through Bridge at Ant
Iers.---Three Spans GOne.---
Fireman's Arm Broken.

Freight train No 62, Denver and
Rio Grande. was wrecked at Antlers
station four miles east of Rifle last
night at about eight thirty O'Clock.
The news that there had been a wreck
on the Rio Grande, before any details
were possible to obtain, caused a great
deal of excitement throughout the
city until it was definitely ascertain
ed that no one had been killed and
that Herbert Dariokson, the fireman
of the engine was the only injured
person, he having his right arm
broken in two places.
Train No 81 left this city yesterday
afternoon, engine No 563, pulling the
train with Charles King engineer,
Herbert Derickson fireman and David
Killen. conductor. The train was
making for New Castle where they
had orders to meet No 5, when the
accident occurred. A waterspout or
cloud burst occurred in the hills close
to that point and coming down the
dry stream. over which the bridge
runs for the Rio Grande track, under
mined the trestling.
When the heavily loaded train
struck the bridge. the crash came,
four or five freight cars going into
the ditch.
The engine and the tender were al
most across the bridge when the three
spans of the bridge gave way. When
the four or five freight cas- went into
the ditch it almost pulled the engine
and tender back into the ditch and
onto the eight cars. The strain from
the rear turned the engine over and
the engineer jumped and saved him
self The fireman Derickson was
thrown violently out with a result
that he sustained broken arm.
1t was fortunate that No 5 which was
almost due from the east and No.
and LOG on the Rio Grande and Mid
land respectively from the west. were
not the trains to cross the frail struc-
ture after the cloudburst, or there
might have been a repitition of the
Eden disaster.
One of the cars was loaded with
crockerv. one with sugar and another
with hardware.
All the trains are held ON either
side of the washout. Trains mum ber-
ed and 106. from the west have been
on either side of the wreck since last
night at eight O'Clock or Whereabouts.
