MIKE" SCORES "FAKE" LABELS.
Points Out-Paster-COvered Trunk as
 m Example of EEOtfsm,

Points Out-Paster-COvered Trunk as
 an Example of EgOtism.
 Mike" the head baggage smasher at the Grand Central station, laughed scornfully as he tackled trunk from an incoming train. The receptacle was literally plastered with labels, show ing that the owner had, presumably, travelled through many foreign cities. There were labels from London, Paris, Berlin, Naples, Shanghai, and even Bangkok.
 Another one of them fakes" said Mike disgustedly.
 What do you mean?" asked the new apprentice
 What Is labels fOr?" said Mike" by way of reply. Then he answered his own question by adding: "They're to show the trainmen where the baggage Is bound for, ain't they? And when a man goes from one city to another, the baggagemen paste the proper label over the one that was there before. Other wise, nobody could tell which city the trunk was bound for. If trainman aboard should see trunk or valise labeled Vienna Paris or London all at the same time, he'd have brain fever trying to figure out where the trunk really was bound. They don't use tho brass check system over there as they ,, do here.
 "It's safe betting that the man who owns this trunk is one of those ego tistical asses who wants to show of. Perhaps he has made a trip abroad; and while there he begged, borrowed or stole lot of labels and pasted them on his trunk to make people believe he has been in all those cities. But to those who know he is simply advertis- ing the fact that he is chump of the first water" And Mike" threw the trunk on one side with more force than was necessary.-Ne York Press

COLT OF LIGHTNING.
Welded . Broken Rail and Saved
 TRainlOad of Passengers.

AhhAhAOts&A OA ASSCheCESs
 When the 8:23 limited pulled into Wheatley, In this county, one evening, it was discovered, says the Le Sueur correspondent of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, that one of the rear wheels on the last coach was broken, a piece hay ing been split off from one side, so that there was slightly fiat place on the wheel, and, as 1t was feared, the broken wheel in pounding over the track had broken rail- Only by mir> acle was the 8 :56 local saved from be. ing wrecked.
 Three miles south of Bentley the fiat, tened wheel had broken out section of rail about seven feet long-broken 1t out so badly that 1t was torn from the spikes and lay across the rails, where 1t was found five minutes before the local was due by Willy Schultz, a boy of IA years, who lives on farm near by. The lad knew that the local soon would be along and he was fright ened. He put the piece of rail in place and then started down the track to- ward the approaching train, running as fast as he could. He had not gone twenty feet, however, when there came blinding flash of lightning from a dark cloud that covered the sky, and he was struck down unconscious and nearly bereft of life.
 It must have been ten minutes be fore he regained consciousness, for when he did so he saw the train com ing toward him at great speed. He staggered to his feet, the remembrance of the broken rail still in his mind, and waved his hands, but the engine did not stop, and, just as 1t was about to crush him, he stepped from the rails and the train sped on.
 But the engineer at the last moment had seen the boy step out of the en- gine's way, and, throwing on the lever, stopped the train after it had run sev- eral hundred feet beyond the break in the rail.
 When the engineer jumped down and came running back to see what the trouble was, young Schultz told him and showed him the place where the rail had been broken but now 1t was perfectly sound. The flash of light ming that struck Schultz down spent the main portion of its force on the track in the immediate locality where the fracture was, and had evenly and perfectly welded the broken rail in place at both ends. The track was as safe and solid as it was the day 1t was laid.
