LOST PocKETRooK RETURNED.
woman Dropped 1t from Car Win
dow the Plains,

woman dropped 1t from Car Win
dow on the Plains.
There was a distracted woman pas
senger on local train Friday morning
when 1t arrived in Ell Paso. Her per-
turbed state Of mind was caused from
the fact that while on the way from
Beaumont, her home, she had lost her
handbag containing her ticket to Sc
attic, her trunk check and all the
money she had available for the jour-
ney, says the Ell Paso News. Mrs. War
ner had the satchel suspended from her
In some unaccOuntable manner the re-
ceptacle became detached from it's fas-
tenlng and dropped through the open
window while the train was running
at a high rate of speed.
Mrs. Warner Immediately notified
the conductor Of her loss and he in
turn instructed the agent at Dryden,
the first stop made after the loss, to
warn the section crew to keep a sharp
lookout for the missing property, and
II 1t was recovered to notify Ell Paso.
This was small consolation to Mrs.
Warner, however, as the chances were
about 1000 to one against her ever
seeing her valuables again.
When No. 8 reached Eel Paso the poor
woman accepted the hospitality Of
some sympathetic fellow passenger in
the forlorn hope that the bag might be
recovered, and as, in fact, she had no
other Immediate raSO1lrco
Her JOY may be well imagined when
her Satchel, with it's contents intact,
with the exception of q few small coins
was returned to her Saturday morning
upon the arrival of Agent Charles Beck
and the happy woman continued her
journey rejoicing, having been delayed
just twenty-four hours.
The satchel was found by the Sec
ton crew and returned to the agent at
Dryden, who forwarded it here accord
Ing to instructions.
When are taken into consideration
the size Of the lost property, the dis
lance between stations, the fact Of the
finder being a poorly paid Mexican
laborer, to whom the contents of the
bag would prove small fortune, Mrs.
warner certainly played in big luck.
This is the second occurrence of the
kind taking place on this road since
last Christmas.

siderable force; she shivered, and
felt that she could not keep her nold
many minutes.
Yet she thought of the calf, and
looked back to see what had become
of it. The little thing was still
swimming strongly in the wake of
the COW. Polly envied these wild
creatures their strength and endur-
ance and their lack of encumbering
dress.
Minute after minute passed. Pol
ly's teeth chartered, and she felt
the deadly grip Cf cold creeping
through her body. Slowly the shore
line drew nearer. Polly made men,
tai calculation-the moose was swim
ming perhaps at the rate of three
miles an hour, and she knew the
lake and its distances. She reckoned
that she had yet twenty-five or thirty
minutes to endure. And she felt
she could not do it-that her hands
must soon lose their hold.
She looked back, to see the sailboat
just pulling out from the island. She
saw the wind catch it's single sail,
and then the boat disappeared, run
ming swiftly behind the Underline.
Now Polly shut her eyes and chung,
exerting all her will-power to over
come the cold. For minute after
minute she chung with closed eyes,
feeling the numbing cold creep to her
very heart.
She was indeed beginning to grow
lethargic, and must very soon have
lost her hold, when she WIS brought
to open her eyes upon life by a sud-
den lifting of the moses body out
of the water.
Then she was shaken from her
perch, as hen shakes dust from it's
feathers, and snorting defiance, the
old moose, with the calf at her heels,
dashed away, taking the line of a
sunken reef, of which Polly had often
heard, but had never located in her
boating excursions.
Shaking like a leaf and chilled to
the bone, Polly found herself stand
ing knee-deep upon gravel bar and
with the light waves rolling waist
high about her. She had just enough
strength and presence of mind left
to know that she must exert herself
to the utmost to keep off the cold.
So she stood threshing her arms
about her waist, with eyes and mouth
tightly closed, for many minutes
longer.
Then she was awakened by joyous
shout, and again looked upon the
world, this time to see the sailboat
scudding down toward her.
Five minutes later Polly was hauled
aboard the dory, and bundled into ali
the wraps which the girls had taken
the precaution to fetch along. Ly
ing on the bottom of the boat, in
the warm sunshine, life came back
to her, and when at last the dory
cast anchor at MorrelPs landing, she
was quite herself again.
1t is needless to add that during
the exercises of that afternoon the
trees which the school board had pro-
vided were impressively planted by
the first graduating class of Chebaug-
waun.-Youth's Companion.

Antifrafernity Crusade in Form OF
Ducl<inG Smart EEFreshies'' Halted.
The anti-Greek-letter fraternity crusade
by an organization of ''barbarians," as
the non-fraternity students are called,
has received a severe check by the prompt
faculty action that has followed the re-
cent hazing of Joseph f. Pfffner of Ste
vens Point. He was painted with iodine,
his head sheared and he was finally duck
ed in Lake Mendoza. A faculty investi-
cation followed and two students were
allowed to withdraw in lieu of being sus-
pended from the university. The faculty
investigation developed the fact that list
OF "smarty fraternity freshmen" had been
prepared and all were to be hazed during
the remainder of the college year by the
barb" organization. The summary action
of the faculty has placed wet blanket
on the organizations plans. Much SYM
pathy is expressed in Madison for the
anti-fraternity movement, but the faculty
is determined that lawless and violent haz-
ing shall be eliminated

PURITAN BOYS.


1t appears In various quarters that
the Puritan fathers had troubles Of
their own. In the book entitled "Hered-
ity and Early Environment Of John
Williams" the author says that in Rox-
bury, Massachusetts, in it's early set
Element, as everywhere, boys were
prone to mischief, and special rules
were made for their benefit.
In 1868, when the meeting house was
repaired, the new galleries were set
aside as seats for the boys of the CON
gregation. Here this element could be
herded under the eye and rod of the
tithing-man and within eyeshot of the
preacher With all this, however,
trouble was brewing.
Before long several people complain
ed that they could not "sit in the meet
ing-house to their edification by rea-
son of the disturbance the boys made
in the galleries" This complaint reach
ed the town meeting; and the select
men were directed to consult with the
elders about removing the boys, and
coping them up in some place to be
built expressly for this purpose, or do
Ing anything to remedy this evil"
Exactly what steps were taken to re-
move the boys and the evil SO gravely
confronting the town is not known, but
when John Williams was eight years
old new meeting house was built In
this structure provision was made for
the boys on some part of the main
floor. Some years later a vote was
passed for ''pueing the meeting house, y
and the people were given ''liberty to
build pues round the meeting house ex-
cept where the boys do sit"
BY this action it appears that the
boy question had been satisfactorily
solved by corralling that element in
some nook or angle which was now en-
trenched against the invasion Of pews.

workman Trapped i'm Tunnel Faces
Death Two Hours in Water.
Imprisoned in a compartment of the
partially constructed tunnel under the
river at Milwaukee, through a break in
which water was pouring, John Slater
stood for two hours the other day, watch
ing the water rise slowly until it threat
ened to engulf him. When at last he
was rescued he was a maniac, his mind
having given way from fright Peering
through bulPs-eye in the compartment,
his companions saw him in his plight,
and for a long time were unable TO help
him. Leads from the fire boats were let
down into the tunnel and the engines
were worked at furious pace to pump
out the water while the rescue work went
on. In spite of everything that could be
done the water rose steadily above Sla
ter's waist, to his breast, to his armpits
and finally to his neck. Fifteen minutes
later he would have been drowned. Bare
ly in time to prevent this, however, the
firemen succeeded in opening the door
and took Slater, insane and benumbed
with cold, to a hospital.

Labor in Old Times,

Twelve hours in winter and four
teen in summer was a fair average
days work. But in Lyons in 1871
the printers worked from 2 o'clock
in the morning till 8 or 9 in the
evening. In other trades the work
ing hours were often from in the
morning till 9 at night or from 5
to 10. Workers in the same meter
generally lived together in the same
street. Bat the maitre-artisan had
his own maison. The ground floor
was his shop or workshop; above
was his bedroom, which was also the
sitting and eating room; a small room
adjoining accommodated his children,
and above was a garnet where vari-
Gus commodities were stored.-From

CIVIL SERVICE LAW ATTACKED.

Wisconsin Statute Held UncOnstItu-
tiOnaI by Banking Department.
Papers have been served in a suit
brought by the State banking department
attacking the constitutionality of the new
State civil service law. The intent of the
law, it is claimed, was to exempt the
banking department, but the Attorney
General held that the department is not
exempt. Points urged are that the COM
mission usurps the powers of the Secre-
tary of State in auditing vouchers, that
it employs legislative powers in making
rules and bylaws, and illegally seeks to
hold jurisdiction over the banking de-
partment. Bank Commissioner Bergh Sc
cured leave of the Supreme Court to bring
suit.

SONG

BY 4. E. Housman In McCIure's.
White in the moon the long road lies.
Inc moon stands blank above;
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love.
Still hangs the hedge without a gust,
Still still the shadows stay:
Ny feet upon the moonlit dust
Pursue the ceaseless way.
The world is round, so travellers tell,
And straight though reach the
track.
Trudge on, trudge on, twill all be
well,
The way will guide one back.
But ere the ciYcle homeward HES
Far, far must it remove:
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love.
