Rode with Dynamite.

A couple Of girls. San Francisco
refugees, tell this story of their trip
from the city to the station, where
they boarded a train for the East:
"One driver asked us $780," said
they. OF course we couldn't afford to
pay that, SO we stopped another, the
driver of a wagon this time.
I've got load of dynamite here,
said he; you can ride on that If you
like
And we rode on IT," they finished,
"and paid him a good price for the
privilege, too"

MAY ask you a question:" asked
My Lady Florence.
Surely replied the other, looking
up, surprised.
rs that your lover-the big, hand
some man with the steady brown eyes
and the splendid head?"-pointlng to
the disappearing figure down the road.
Fanny flushed scarlet, and looked a
bit defiant. "Oh, he's always hanging
around, and won't take no for an az
swer-but I won't marry him, SO /
won't"
''Why?" asked My Lady Florence.
Because won't marry any of these
country louts with their coarse clothes
and their rough maners," blazed Miss
Fanny, stamping her pretty foot. II
am as pretty as you, ii you give me a
chance with your fine clothes and
baths and maids and messages and
and things-and can interest these
fine gentlemen and lords and dukes,
and-and-things as we'll as you, If I
have half a chance"
My Lady Florence dismounted and
placed hand gently on the Defiant
shoulder of the girl. My dear GIRL"
she said. Please, please believe me
when l tell you that there is no hap
piness in all the things you speak
of. The honest love of an honest
man is the greatest happiness girl
can have. know the man you have
sent away is a good man, and true
one. Do not, do not, beg of you,
throw away your great chance of hap
piness for the tawdry tinsel of which
you speak. 1t means life of misery
to you, and you will curse yourself as
long as you live.''
Fanny turned to her soberly, but
still with traces OF defiance.
Where is the tall, handsome fellow
that looks like Dave, who was shining
above you last year when l was wait
ing on table at the hotel?" she asked,
sullenly. why didn't you marry him
If what you say is true? What are
you doing with that wizened little
lord hanging around you, if you don't
believe titles and money and-and-
things bring happiness?"
1t was Fanny's turn now to flush
to her temples. She stood with
her hand still on the other girls
shoulder and looked far off with un-
seeing eyes. After a long time, dur
Ing which neither girl spoke, My Lady
Florence said, softly, turning her eyes
searchingly into those of her compan-
ion:
"You are right, my dear. I am a
poor preacher. You are a better one.
You have taught me my lesson. l will
make compact with you. will go
back to Ralph-the man who looks
F., like your Dave-and l will marry him
II you will marry Dave-and-and-
we both will be happy, won't we.
dear?"
There were tears in both the eyes
of both girls, and Fanny impulsively
threw both arms about My Lady's
neck and sobbed: Il will! Will"
Mr.. and Mrs. Sommers spent what
little summer vacation Ralph is able
to get, not at the great hotel, but at
the modest and comfortable home of
Dave Bangs, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bangs
never fail each winter to spend week
or two with the Sommers in their
third-story fiat in the city.
In the meantime, Mrs. Morton, de-
feated, but not discouraged, is groom

A Tribute to Frank 5. Luekie

Frank S. Luckie, beloved and hon.
ored by all, has fallen asleep in the
arms OF Jesus to awake 10 the eternal
world. Lofty human character al
ways deserves to be commemorated,
and a man so unselish, 50 patriotic
and a spirit within whom SO contrary
to making most things bend 10 the
lust Of gold and worldly glory, furn-
ishes theme for our meditation and
valuable study.
He possessed the happy combina
tion Of qualities physical, mental
and moral-wnich go to make a useful
and noble manhood, and with the high
attributes Of a noble soul, which en-
deared him to all, It Is no wonder that
70 attract and retain their friendship
was one OF his fitting characteristics.
Frank S. Luckie was born March
18th, 1866, and died July End, 1906,
being q few months past forty years
Of age at the time Of bis death On
Oct II, 1865, be was married to Miss
Allie Graham, of Mexico, No, who
survives him. Besides the widow he
leaves an e~fIectionate mother, one low
ing sister and five dear brothers
bowed in inexpliciable grief at his
sad demise.
Reluctantly we draw the mystic
drapery on One whose life was true
to ever call OF duty. Days and years
will drift silently on, the flowers on
bis easket will fade into heaps OF dust
but 10 their place will bloom "immor-
tells and sweet "forget-me-nots" that
will enshrine his resting place ia the
garden Of sleep" and the kindly sun
and shifting stars will look down on
his grave where ever arises the shadow
Of the cross.

couple them on 10 a string Of other
cars already standing there. IL is
supposed he misjudged the speed
the train was moving and suddenly
found himself with no avenue Of es-
cape, caught between the platform
and the car. Thus with his body in
an upright position, he vas rolled a
distance Of some . feet before the
train was brought TO a stop
After some difficulty in sxtricatInR
him from this painful position, ply
Sicians were called and the unforta-
nate mans injuries examined and
given medical attention. he was
found to have several ribs mashed and
70 be badly hurt inwardly, and little
hope is Leld out for his recovery.
Barnhart is about 30 yeas OF age
and makes bis home In ROOdhouse,
where he has a wife and four children.
He is well liked among his fell
low employees and be is regarded with
confidence and respect by his super
Tors.
His place on the local is now being
