Compensation.

When Wilson Hobart married Hetty
Lewis there were many people who
predicted domestic troubles, even
tragedies, but they were mistaken,
says the Youths Companion. The Ho-
barts were to all appearances, an I'M
usually happy couple. II reckon Hetty
must have learned to keep her tenn
per better than she used to-" remark
ed one person, to whom this state of
affairs was ineXplicable you don't
look a bit older than the day you
were married, Wilson," Il don't know
as she has," said Mr.. Hobart, with a
slow smile. IT tell her l guess she's
got enough on hand to last her; she
needn't save any to accommodate me.
And can tell you," he added, with
enthusiasm, "it would take more than
any temper ever 1 saw to sour Hetty's
bread or her cream pies!"

Girl Saved Train Crew.

The presence of mind and quick
ness of Miss Dorothy Wagner, daugh-
ter of John Wagner, One Hundred and
Sixty-eighth street and the North
river, New York, saved six New York
Central trainmen from almost certain
death.
The men were on long freight
train from Albany, which had been
stopped by a signalman owing to a
handcar being stalled ahead of it. Miss
Wagner was standing on the front
porch of her home when the freight
halted and glanced down the track
to see what the trouble was.
The tracks curve near where the
Wagner house stands, but from her
position on the porch the girl could
see around this down the tracks Sud
denly she saw two engines coupled
and drawing caboose approaching
fast. At first she thought the double,
header" was on different track from
the one upon which the freight train
stood, and when she realized that they
were on the same track they were
only few rods away. She ran from
the porch, dashed UP the steps of the
caboose of the freight train and shout.
ed warning to the six men inside.
They made for the door and jumped
an instant before the double header"
plowed at full speed through the ca.
boose
The engineer and fireman of the
"double-header" also jumped just in
time The former sprained his ankle
and the train crew of the double,
header" back in the caboose, suffered
slight cuts and bruises from being
flung down by the collision.

When Wood Was the Fuel.

The original American locomotives
were nearly all wood burners. and
during a protracted period, before the
Invention of spark arresters, the f1y-
Ing sparks caused a great amount of
damage and annoyance interviewer
with this difficulty was a necessity
for using smokestacks many times
larger than those now in use-too
high, indeed, to pass under overhead
bridges or the roof of covered wood
en- bridges. To overcome this diff
Guilty the smokestack of many of the
locomotives were jointed or hinged so
that they could be lowered when
trains were proceeding over or under
bridges. This naturally greatly in
creased the danger of setting fire to
the wooden bridges, and it was Gus.

standing this precaution the burning
Of bridges was a most common oc.

On most of the early railroads the
cars were at first entirely uncovered
being in fact merely platform cars
with a row of seats along each side.
The passengers were unprotected from
the sun, rain, smoke or cinders.

Have instruction Car,

The newest attempt to increase the
efficiency of a railroads working force
and diminish thereby the fatality lists,
to year with the reduction of running
time, Is the travelling instruction car,
now in operation on the Union Pacific
railroad.
Instead of being equipped with
states and blackboard to farilitate
their work in imparting Information,
the Union Pacific's corps of travelling
schoolmasters have sets of air brakes,
signal apparatus and all the compli-
Gated machinery which goes to make
up the operating end of a great rail
way system. A two months cam
paign of education is thus being car
ried on wheel, during which 5000
employees, scattered over almost 5000
miles of territory, will be required to
undergo examination as to their eff
cheney.
The Union Pacific adopted on Au-
gust a new book of almost 1000
regulations, designed to increase the
alertness and efficiency of it's en-
ployes. OF these regulations 60 were
new, and the lecture tour was started
to insure a uniform understanding of
them by trainmen, conductors, engi-
neers, brakemen and other operatives

the travelling public depends

Tortoise Shell,

The finest tortoise shell comes from
the Indian Archipelago but a good
quality is also obtained on the coast
of Florida. There are three rows of
plates on the back of the tortoise,
called blades by fishermen. In the
central row are five plates, and in
each of the others four plates, the lat
ter containing the best material Be
sides these there are 25 small plates
round the edges of the shell, known as
feet or noses. The largest turtle does

should earnestly pray that this spirit OF
righteousness and justice may grow ever
greater in the hearts of all of us and thar
our souls may be inclined ever more both
toward the virtues. that tell for gent!eness

without these qualities neither nation nor
individual can rise to the level of greatness.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt,

Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of Novem-
Der, as day of general thanksgiving and
prayer, and on that day recommend that
people shall cease from their daily work
and in their homes or in their churches
meet devoutly to thank the Almighty for
the many and great blessings they have
received in the past, and to pray that they
may be given strength so to order their
lives as to deserve a continuation of these
blessings in the future.

School Report.

An exchange tells of down eastern
Yankee who was once driving home from
a regular old fashioned campmeeting and
as his faithful old nag logged along at the
rate of four miles in IL hours he overlook
pack peddler who was Enthusiastically a
Hebrew. The old farmer stopped and
asked the peddler to ride whereupon the
lew readily consented and was soon up
beside the farmer whose nag logged along
as peaceably as before. The campmeeting
had had great eaectNupon the old YAM
KEGS mind and he conceived the idea of
asking his partner if he was prepared for
the hereafter. So without any hesitation
he stared the Jew in the eye and said:
Are you prepared to meet God?" The
Jew trembled terribly from head to foot,
with cry of despair he leaped from the
vehicle and ran with flying coat tail toward
the neighboring wood. The old man see
ing the uselessness of trying to coax the
peddler back again, left the peddler's pack
by the roadside and journeyed on and thus
reasoned with himself: He must have
been big dern fool if lie thot this was the
road to heaven"

average man Of any other. Nowhere else
IN the world is there such an opportunity
for free people to develop to the fullest
exten, all its powers OF body and ct m'nd'
and of tina, which stands above both body
and mind character.
Much has been given us from On High,
and much will rightly be expected IN re-
turn. Into our care ten talents have been
entrusted and we are to he pardoned, Meth
er if we s1uander and waste them, nor yet
il we hide them in a napkin. Tor they must

at all times. and among all peoples, pros
perjty has been irausht with danger and
it behooves us to beseech the Giver OF All
Things that we may not fail into the love
of ease and luxury; that we may not lose
our sense of moral responsibility that we
may no, forget our duly 10 God and to
our neishhor.
