Child Saves a Train.

Altoona, Pa.-Little Wallace Moore,
aged eight, barefooted and ragged the
son of farmer living near Osceola,
13 miles southeast of here, with rare
presence of mind for one of his years
saved a passenger train on the Tyrone
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
from certain disaster and probably
prevented injury, if not death, to 128
passengers.
The lad, while playing about the
railroad tracks which run near his
home, noticed that switch Leading to
a spur, at the end of which was an
embankment, had been opened
Fastening to a clear stretch of road,
he stationed himself in the middle of
the tracks and breathlessly awaited the
approach of the train. He swung his
arms, and, grabbing his hat, waved it
madly. Engineer Franks became
alarmed when the boy showed no signs
of leaving the track, and quickly ap-
plying the emergency brakes stopped
the train within few feet of where
the boy was standing.

late mode, wear one of the trim small
turbans above eulogized, and you will
be what the summer girl should be
above all else-dainty and fresh.
Many of the wash shirt-waist suits
come in three pieces; the shirt-waist
suit itself and a bit of summer coat
oftenest a bolero, with wide elbow
sleeves or close-fitting ones
For dressier wear, silk is in favor, a
little silk bolero suit and a variety of
waists would provide madam for al
most any occasion the season might
present. Two hats are enough; the
small one for tailor suits, the larger,
more elaborate for afternoon and eve
nings. However, we find many that
approve of the turban for all hours of
the day, it is such a novelty they are
too fond of it to give it up solely for
outing and simpler costumes.

universally becoming, may be said to
be the most popular feature of this
seasons millinery. Our design shows
an attractive and rather unusual mod
ell, with trimming fore and aft.
1t is worth while to consider that q
woman is able to get up her summer
outfit from cheap materials in a highly
satisfactory way. In winter thick
stuffs must be high-priced to be pre-
sentable, but summer materials of low
price are often extremely pretty. We
have in mind some pretty chambrays
and cotton voiles in the way of suits
that are as pretty as need be. They
cost but few cents yard. it takes
but few yards to make them; and

Electric Traction Wins.

Since the worlds fair test in Chi
cago, when steam engine in tug
of war contest succeeded in dragging
an electric locomotive back, the devel-
opment of the latter has steadily pro-
crossed until it has reached a stage
where the electric locomotive assumes
superiority. 1t has been so greatly in
creased in size, weight and power that
recent tests prove it to be more than
able to hold its own. Between spe-
cially selected Pacific type steam pas
senger engine and the latest model of
electric locomotive the latter came out
well ahead in all of the trial runs. In
addition the weight of the trains be-
hind the locomotives was Sc tons great
er for the electric factor than for its
competitor, although the greater
weight of the steam locomotive made
the total weight of the trains approx
mately equal.

WoOED HIS OWN DAUGHTER
Just Before Wedding Was to Take
Place Swiss Discovered Her
Identity.

Geneva, Switzerland.-A remarkable
love tragedy has come to light in the viii
lage of Appenzell, which for unique fea-
lures is hard to duplicate.
Nearly 20 years ago young Swiss
commercial traveller named Mueller de-
serted his wife and infant daughter and
emigrated to Mexico, where he succeed
ed in amassing a considerable fortune.
His wife died, and the little girl was
adopted by farmer named Schloss.
The child assumed his name and was
generally regarded in the district as the
farmers own daughter.
A year ago her father, who caEe him.
self Ilfelder after leaving his native
country, sold out his business in Mex
leo and returned to Appenzell. He was
informed, and naturally believed, that
both his wife and child were dead
Later, he met his daughter, and, ignor-
ant of her identity, fell in love with her.
She is now nearly 20 years old, while
he is Al.
For four months the returned wan
derer wooed the girl with her consent.
1t was only when he asked the approval
of Farmer Schloss that he learned the
girls history, and recognized that he
had won the hand of his own daughter.
Rushing from the house, he travelled
at once to Bale, whence he wrote to the
farmer, confessing everything, and
placing $4,000 to the girls credit in a
Zurich bank. Nothing more has been
heard of him, and his daughter is heart
broken.

act of fastening her veil, Miss Sim
mons received the telegram, which
read:
Have gone away. Will never see
you again"
Miss Simmons, it is said, saw Roser
several days before the date set for the
wedding, at which time all of the de-
tails were arranged. She sent invita-
tions to $50 friends, and they were
assembling when the telegram arrived
at the expected brides home.
She burst into tears, but later decid-
ed not to let anything interfere with
the pleasure of her guests. She read
the telegram to them, and then or
dered the dancing to begin. Roser was
apparently soon forgotten, except by
two of Miss Simmons brothers, who
are determined to interview him.

Ohio, where they married and pros
pered. Ella at home became the in
termediary between her father and
mother. Every effort of hers at get
ting them to forget the past was an
utter failure. Whenever there were
any matters of Importance to be con-
sidered it was Ella who was spokes-
woman for the two years. A few days
ago Ella had her twenty-frst birthday,
and decided to leave home. So the
agreement between husband and wife
was ended. Mrs. Grubbs made up her
mind to live there no more, but to go
to the home of one of her sons in Illi-
nois who had sided with her in the
long quarrel.
Ella told this news to the old man
Ham" Grubbs is IS now, and his
wife is so. He protested vigorously.
The fact that he never spoke to his
wife, nor she to him had become Sec
ond nature to him, and he couldn't see
how he was going to get along with
out her to do the homework. He said
she couldn't go; who would take her
place!
This was the last straw.
Mrs. Grubbs decided to sue for di-
vorce. Papers were served on Grubbs,
in which he was charged with cruel
and inhuman treatment, and alleging
that he had cursed his wife in the
presence of their children, and had
said other things to her which no good
husband would say to his wife. There
was hearing before Judge George E.
Downey. He investigated and found
that there was absolutely no hope of
reconciliation between them, though
the quarrel was 81 years old. So the
decree was granted, and a judgment
of $4,000 alimony was granted, which
the old man promptly paid.
Mrs. Grubbs has gone to her sons
home now: "Uncle Ham, remains at
the old homestead, where he vows he
will end his days alone. And there
is now no prospect whatever of bring
ing the old couple together ever again,
as all Miller, township knows.

Grubbs," snapped his wife. @'I'll stay
here in the same house with you till
every one of them is grown up, and
then we can see what we'll do. But
don't you speak to me-
"All right, 1 won't" answered
Ham" Grubbs, and from that moment
to this they have never exchanged a
word.
Soon the neighborhood gossips heard
all about "Uncle Ham" and "Aunt
Julie agreeing never to speak again
They wondered little, but made up
their minds that time would bring
about reconciliation, and that all
would be well. Instead, the breach
widened.
AS the children grew older they be-
gan to take sides. This only served
to make matters worse. Day after day
husband and wife ate at the same

consisting of two puffs and deep
frill. For really summary appearance
we prefer a less fussy design.
At the moment the shops are selling
batiste and other thin patterns at
prices much reduced, and now is good
time to buy and make ones summer
negligee. Until the hot weather is
really upon us we do not seem to know
what is the best way to make the sum-
mer costumes. All fashions are settled
by now; we have had full opportunity
to see what is worn.
To turn from house dresses. A love-
ly travelling dress recently brought to
our notice consisted of Russian-blue
poplin, a waist of pongee in the same
shade. 1t was all so cool and comfort
able looking, and a suit that would
so easily shed dust It seemed just the
thing for summer travel.
There is nothing smarter for coun-
try wear this summer in the way of
shirt waist suits than the ones made
of calico. Their first cost Is slight
but the laundry bills! For the girl
that wants to look on at athletic sports
but take no part herself, the white
serge suit is favorite. White linen
is craze this year, some girls are
aiming to appear in it the summer
through; tailor suit of moderate
weight for day time, the thinnest OF
handkerchief linen for evenings. Lin
ems are declared to be in fashion for
all occasions save travelling.
Slowly we are learning to appreciate
the little cape wraps of silk and other
lightweight materials. Sometimes lace
is used for the cape, sometimes linen is
employed, again thin cloth. They are
so convenient to throw on of a sum.
mer evening, and really are more be-
coming than the boa of such long SER
vice. Of shot silk they suggest We old
en- days, and are as picturesque and be-
coming as the old-fashioned fripperies
worn by our grandmothers.
Gilt belts are worn, and, when good,
are quite expensive. Narrower belts
are promised, and it is more than prob
able this fall we shall have the prin-
cess effect, the waist fitting over the
skirt without the use of a bodice or
belt of any sort.

them over. Uncle Ham" came out OF
the house and agreed with the peddler
that they were the finest geese in all In
diana.
What dye want for them?" asked
the peddler
Uncle Ham" named his price, good
round figure, that was more than the
market value of the geese and enough
to add pretty penny to the bank &C
count that was growing most encourag'
ingly year after year.
The bargain was closed just as Mrs
Grubbs appeared in the farmhouse door
Say, what's that man want with my
geese, Ham," she called.
He's buyin' en- shouted back her
husband. Its all right, mother; he's
paying all they're worth"
Now don't you do no such thing,
Ham Grubbs," cried Mrs. GrubbS, hur-
rying down to the shade of the tree I'M
der which Uncle Ham" and the peddler
were driving their bargain. 1--we been
a-savin' those geese for their down.
I'm a-goin' to make feather beds out
of it,
Now see here, julie" expostulated her
husband, this man is paying a good
stiff sum for these here geese, and we
can raise more of them. Besides,
never slept under a feather bed and |

well, Ham Grubbs," retorted his
wife, holly, Il have and I'm a-goin' to
do it again. l don't care what you do"
Ham" Grubbs wanted the addition
to his bank account; his wife wanted the
feather beds. One hasty word led to
another and it ended by Mrs. Grubbs
fiouncing back to the farmhouse and
the peddler carrying off the geese, for
which he paid the farmers price.
When Ham" Grubbs got back to the
house he found his wife still indignant
There were more words, and then Uncle
Ham" said something which never
should have been said.
Vow Never to Speak Again.
'I'll never speak to you again!" de-
clared Mrs. Grubbs
"All right retorted her husband;
''do as you like"
All the children heard the quarrel.
Those old enough to understand began
to cry. Husband and wife realized that
their sudden determination never to
speak again might result in broken
home and distress to the six little ones

Uncle Ham" and Aunt Julia" Grubbs Re.
fused to Settle Their Long -Standing DIFF
ferences and Courts Separate Them
at the Old Lady's Request-The
Parents of Six Children.

Lawrenceburg, Ind.-One of the odd
est divorce cases ever tried in this coun-
try was recently decided by Judge
George E. Downey in this county.
The principals in this strange case
were aged 60 and 60 years, respectively,
the man being the senior. The couple
were married 81 years ago, but though
they had lived together constantly all
of that time, and had raised family OF
six children, they had not spoken to
each other for Fl years.
Such is the peculiar ending of the
romance of Uncle Ham and Aunt Julia
Grubbs.
The neighbors who hoped the breach
of 81 years would be healed by time are
more than disappointed. Aunt Julia
Grubbs has secured her divorce from her
husband, Uncle Hamilton Grubbs, and
$4,000 alimony, and has left forever the
family home in which she lived for 81
years. They quarreled in 1884; from
that day to this they have never eX-
changed a word, though they have oc-
cupied the same house and have eaten
three times day at the same table.
Now it is too late to make up.
The Romance
Forty years ago everybody in Moore's
Hill district knew that Ham" Grubbs
was sweet on julie" Harris. He was
likely young farmer then and good
catch, and Julia Harris was the prettiest
girl in the county. Ham" courted
Julie" and he distanced all the other
young fellows in the district and mar
ried the girl on May q, 1868.
1t was jolly wedding and the coun-
try folks came from miles around to help
the happy pair to celebrate. Rev. Ben
jamin Plummer, one of the old-time
clergymen of the Methodist Episcopal
church in southeastern Indiana, tied the
knot and wished the young couple
happiness, long life and prosperity.
They have had the long life and prosper
ity all right, but hardly the happiness,
though six children have blessed the
union and never a death has lessened
the home circle. 49,. ' 49,.
More than their share of the worlds
goods came their way. "Uncle Ham,
as he came to be known throughout
Miller township, was hard worker and
a mighty smart farmer. Gradually he
increased his holdings until he was the
owner of 10 of the best acres in all the
township. He had the finest house, the
most head of stock, the best up-to- date
