When the Bridge Went
Out,

In the language of Cassidy, the
weather was simply rotten" 1t
was four o'clock in the afternoon,
or, as Cassidy would have told you,
sixteen o'clock; that being the way
the railroad counted the time.
Cassidy being a brakeman, and
had come into Medicine Hat only
two hours earlier in hopes of get
ting a good, long sleep-a luxury
that had been denied him for the
last forty-eight hours. But he
had hardly settled himself in bed
and closed his eyes, when boy
walked unceremoniously into the
room, and announced shortly,
"You're wanted to 60 West on ex-
ira $50 at sixteen thirty"
"What?" calculated Cassidy,
"why I've only just come in, and
I guess I'm entitled to some rest.
You get another man."
johnson says you've got to go, !"
said the boy. "There's no one
else in"
Cassidy was half inclined to stay
in bed, but a minutes reflection
decided him that it was bad time
Of the year to be out of job; so
with many expressions of disgust
he washed and dressed and, after
putting few things in a grip, set
out for the depot. 1t was raining
and he was not in the best of
moods when he entered the train

watch, and sign out.
johnson, the clerk, looked up as
he entered and said: ooh! I say,
Cassidy, we've got another man
for this run. Jim Dunton has re-
ported for duty, so you can have
some more rest"
IF johnson expected to be
thanked he was disappointed, for
Cassidy turned on him plying
look, and torrent of abuse at the
same time.

last lap av the foorth mile he
slipped on the pizen ind av a car
pet tack, an if the kid hadn't
landed on the dawg there wud
shure have been a DOODLE wake.
Riley, not bein' an orthydox jew,
wur chopin up selections av
Loingrin to beat the band. In
the mane-time his ould womim
fished piece av salt poork out av
the baked beans an tied it on his

rose to swim thousand degrays

"But I thought you didn't want

81 didn't want to CO." shouted
Cassidy, "but much less did I want
to be routed out of bed, on false
call. There is a good hours sleep
lost to me. I'll certainly register
a kick"
With this parting shot, Cassidy
retraced his steps to his boarding
house, and once more went to bed.
He slept soundly until five o'clock
the following morning, when he
was again called to go West on
wrecker. Wondering where the
wreck was he made his way to the
depot, where he joined a group of
trainmen who we're engaged in an
mated discussion.
Extra No. $50 had left Medicine
Hat at $3.50 the previous day,
bound for Calgarz with twenty
eight loads of settlers effects. It
had been raining steadily for four
days, and the tracks were slippery.
None of the train crew was in
very good humor except Jim Dun
ton, the brakeman, who had been
substituted for Cassidy. About
month previous to this time Dun
ton narrowly escaped death by be-
ing caught between the couplers
of two cars. AS it was, he lost two
fingers from his left hand, and was
obliged to lay off until his wounds
healed. He was glad to be at work
again, and as he sat on the fire.
mans seat, in the engine cab, he
calculated, mentally, how much
money he could make by the end
of the month. He could ill-afford
the weeks of idleness he had been
forced to spend, and he hoped that
he would be kept busy for some
time, 50 that he could get on his
feet again.
A short distance beyond the
bottom of the grade was small
bridge, spanning stream, which
ordinarily one could jump over,
but which was now swollen to
quite a respectable river by the
rains and melted snow from the
mountains.
It was still rather dark, and it
was not until within a few rods of
it that the engineer saw that the
bridge was gone. tanning home
the throttle and opening the air
cock he shouted to the others to
Jump. The fireman did SO, and
thereby saved his life, but Dunton
was not quick enough. The brakes
failed to stop the train, and the
engine skidded over the edge of
the embankment, and turned a
complete somersault.
When they took poor Dunton
out, two days later, he was man.

and realized that this might have
been his fate, somehow or other

AIDES ago, in their fathers or grand
father time, there were numerous
opportunities for acquiring an
abundance of this worlds goods
that are now wanting.
Is it true that the avenues lead
ing to success and prosperity are
fewer since the resources of our
country have been so greatly de-
veloped? I am of the opinion
that it is not.
In what are termed the early
days of our country it's vast re-
sources of natural wealth were but
little known and practically un-
touched, thus combining and limit
ing all pursuits of industry to a
very narrow margin. Hunting,
trapping, trading with the Indians
and getting land were about all
the enterprises that could be car
ried on with any degree of profit.
All these were fraught with many
hardships and difficulties, and not
infrequently with extreme danger
and loss of life. Nevertheless they
were opportunities. Opportunities
for those rugged of constitution
and stout of heart; for those will
ing to temporarily deprive them
selves of all luxuries and many
comforts; for those strong and
brave enough to defy the elements
and battle with a dangerous foe;
for those who loved liberty and
freedom and despised tyrants and
all forms of tyrannical govern
,ment. For these people there
were no opportunities of any i'm
portance. And after all were they
much benefited at the time when
they were heroically trying to sub
due the wilderness and pacify the
aborIgines? All the reward they
received was a plain and some
times scanty living. We, the
descendants, are the real beneficial
ries. By their arduous trials and
self-denials they overcame obsta-
cles that barred the way to civil
zation and progress and left to us
an inheritance rich in manifold
opportunities.
1t Is all important that we &C.
~quire sufficient knowledge to see
and grasp those chances, else our
legacy will have been bequeathed
in vain. If we would have the
golden apple we must find the tree
and pluck it, not idly wait for 1t
to fall and perchance roll beyond
our reach into the hands of anoth-
er. Many successes that seem to
be almost miraculous could be du-
plicated if we had sufficient knowl-
edge to remove all friction.
Around us, on every hand, we
perceive numerous signs of pros
perity and wealth which have been
produced by men who were wise
enough to see an opportunity and
courageous enough to make use
of it. With the country's almost
marvellous development, creating
divers kinds of industries and
multiplying the demands for brain
and muscle, there are opportuni-
ties in profusion for all who have
even ordinary powers of perception
and willingness to put forth fair
amount of endeavor.
Nothing succeeds so we'll as sue
cess and to be successful it is i'm
perative that little things be given
due consideration, each advantage,
no matter how small or trivial it
may seem, to be utilized and made
the most of, thereby making it a
stepping- stone to others of greater

Very Best in Webster for
Stock RaiSerS and
Breeders.
BREEDERS HEADQUARTERS.
Has Been Tried by DIR. Judge
for the Past Two Years and
Found to Have Wonder
fully Improved all the
Stock of the Entire
County.

| Four years ago DR. NJ NJ Judge, a
i'll Webster and began the practice of
his profession. From the outset he was
successful in his practice. 1t was not
long until his experienced eye saw that
there was needed in this county some
better stations and bulls TO grade up
the stock of this county He saw that
the best way to DO this was to get
several others interested with shim and
establish Breeders Headquarters :"
The idea met with great favor from the
start and barn was rented in this city
and fine Percheron stallion purchased.
The first year proved that the scheme
was a sure winner for those interested
and the greatest benefit that had ever
come to the owners of fine mares. Next
a fancy French Coach stallion was
purchased and lass year showed that
his purchase was another step in the
right direction
This spring DR.. Judge found that
his scheme for improving the stock of
the county was meeting with such
wonderful success that it was necessary
to get few of the very best bulls and
do for the cattle raisers what he had
already done for the horse raisers of
Day county. He now has the best there
is to be procured in that line Uniting
his efforts with r. A. Bradley, who has
one of the finest herds of full blood
Short Horns in the northern states,
being enabled thus to make his own
selection from the herd and get the
choicest individuals.
The doctor found that his original
place was too small to carry on his
business of breeding and veterinary
work. Larger quarters was necessary.
He accordingly purchased lot and
built modern barn just for that pur-
pose and now has one of the finest Breed
ers' Headquarters in the northwest, at
the corner of Railroad avenue and Second
street. Everything is arranged for the
care, comfort and handling of animals
of all descriptions. If you are interested
in good stock of all kinds it will pay
Won to visit the doctors barn and see
the animals he has and the arrange
ments he has made for their proper
care.
In addition to sufficient room to care
for the breeding business DIR. Judge
has also made room to take care of
large number of teams for parties who
desire stable room while in the city.
The doctor has also provided for the
care of teams that come into the city
during the cold weather. He will build
a large shed sufficient to stable seventy
