CATS ABLE TO STOP TRAINS
Engineers Say Eyes Of Feline Family
Are Like Signal Lamps
at Night.

Brookfield. Mo.-"Did you ever see
q black cats eyes when they were in
the line of an electric light?" asked
Ben Woodlief, travelling engineer for
the Missouri division Of the Burling-
ton road. "If one steps on the rail-
road track ahead Of the engine and
looks up the engineer sees two vivid
lights ahead Of him as large and
clearly defined as any signal service
lights on the road. Sometimes they
are red, but most generally green or
white. In the night time. Of course,
the engineer can't see the cat, and
all he can do is to run in obedience
to the cat-eye signals. If they are
white he goes ahead, without slack
ing; If green he is cautious; If red
he applies the air to make stop.
Sometimes train is brought to
dead halt before the engineer learns
what's up against him. The running
men tell me that the eyes Of polecat's
and rabbits are almost as perfect sig
nails as cats eyes. No, there's been
no talk Of training. cats to act as sig.
nalmen. Engineers would stand for
1t. because they hate cats on general
principles. and If they had their way
would be happy to lay the universal
feline on the rails in front of their
locomotives and crowd on all steam"

SAILOR LOVED HIS SHIP.
Went Back as It Was Sinking and
Went Down with 1t.

One of the pathetic stories of the
storm that swept up the Atlantic coast
few days ago was that of the death
of Capt. Matheson, of the schooner
Nellie Floyd, wrecked off the North
Carolina coast. 1t is of especial inter-
est in this section, because Capt.
Matheson and his vessel were we'll
known hereabouts. For a number of
years they had been frequent visitors
ut Carolina and Georgia ports, where
chip and master became familiar fig
Tes. When the Floyd foundered and
It was certain that she must leave her
bones In that marine graveyard off the
North Carolina coast, life raft of
matches was constructed. and the
crew, including the captain, piled on
It. AS they were about to push off.
trusting to fortune to be picked up by
passing ship, Capt. Matheson looked
back upon his beloved schooner, then
in its death throes. His heart smote
him. He felt like a deserter. The
suffering but inanimate hulk called to
him, and he could not resist the call.
Il am going back, boys" he said;
"good-by and good luck to you" Then
he scrambled back to the decks, by
that time awash and fast settling. And
in sight of the crew the ship and her
captain went down to their fate.
It is one of Kipling's favorite themes
to illustrate the affection of captain
for his ship, and an engineer for his
machinery. 1t is one of the conten-
tons of purists that one cannot love
anything incapable of returning affec-
zion in kind, but it is no stretch of the
truth or license Of language to say
that the sea is fairly peopled with
shippers who love their craft with
such devotion that they prefer death
with them to life without them. Such
was the case with the British Admiral
Tryon, who refused to be rescued
when some few years ago off Africa
the battleships Victoria and Camper
down came into collision with such
disastrous results to the former. Ad-
miral Tryon's flagship. There are
those who will assert.that a good ship
and a good master come into closest
understanding and affection for each
other when they have long sailed to-
gether. The master is jealous of the
care Of his ship and that she shall
have the very best treatment, while
the ship apparently does her best to
demonstrate that the kindly care is
filly appreciated. Capt. Marryat says
that ship will become sick and sui
len and cranky under the hand of
new master after an old and kindly
one has been removed from her. She
misses the petting and, according to
the fashion of her sex. resents the
deprivation. Capt Matheson, who
died with his schooner, was type of
the sailor who loves his ship and who
will give his life for his love.-Savan'

doubt there was in my mind about the

At the banquet I sat next to a man

When first sat, down I was rather
proud that had captured him. We

sorry that he had not captured me-"
Col. Mosby, who is now an assistant
attorney in the department of Justice,
has always been noted for his sense of
humor. 1t went long way once to-

who, however, lost two or three of

said the Yankee. The reply so pleased
Col. .Mosby that he did not hang the
man who made 1t or anybody else. In
stead, the prisoners were confined and
later exchanged.
1t was about the same time in Col.
Mosby's career that he made his
famous gift to President Lincoln. Hts
headquarters were at a Virginia farm
house, and one day the guards brought
to him man who said he was farmer
and was on his way to Washington to
sell some produce. what reason have
to believe that?" demanded the con-
fereate leader. "How do know you
are not spy? How do I know that
you will come back If let you go?"
The mans manner was so earnes
that it impressed Col. Mosby, who
finally told him that he might go.

the second day following.
He was as good as his word. He
presented himself promptly on time
and informed Col. Mosby that the pres.
ent and the compliment had both been
delivered.
"And what did he say?" demanded
the guerilla leader.
."Oh," said the farmer, "he Just
laughed and said that if he ever caught
you he would not be content with one
lock of your hair. He would take the
whole of it. But am sure he did not
