An instant after the crash of the

burst with terrific force, scattering
FIRE and steam through the wreck in a
manner that made escape for the help

which had landed crushed and splin-

Unrewarded Kindness.

1t is possible to get into trouble
though one has the best and most be-
nevolent intentions. The Burkesville
(Ky) Herald tells of a young lady
whose kindly disposition received d
severe shock in church on a recent
Sunday evening. She sat directly be-
hind a tall, well-dreSsed stranger with
a raveling hanging on his collar, and
thought how glad she would be if
some kind-hearted girl would do as
much for her father were he to go
to church with a raveling hanging
down his back. So when the audience
rose for the first hymn she concluded
to pick it off. Carefully raising her
hand, she gave little twitch, but it
was longer than she supposed, and a
foot or more appeared. Setting her
teeth, she gave a pull, and about a
yard of that horrible thread hung
down his back. This was getting en-
barrassing, but, determined, she gave
it another yank, and discovered that
she was unraveling his undershirt.
Her discontinue was so painful that
chloroform would not have relieved
her sufferings nor pint of powder
hidden her bushes when the gentle
man turned an inquiring look to see
what was tickling his neck.

Popular Prince.

Prince Louis of Battenberg has made
an immense hit in New York with his
manly bearing and democratic ways.
If there is anything snobbish about
him, it cannot be detected in his man
ner of greeting. 1t is whole-hearted,
as if he meant every word of 1t, and
he does; for there is about him the
simplicity that attracts sailormen,
and one knows that the greeting is
genuine. The prince looks and talks
like a strong man. He likes to talk
about athletics, boat races, sparring
matches and things of that sort. He
likes to talk of the sea or guns or en-
gines and other things that make
timid men shudder and turn pale. In
short, he is sailor, who needs only

and a romantic background, to be the
