Illinois Central passenger train was
rocked between Princeton and Hen

sharp pointed rocks three or four
inches thick were thrown into the

One of the narrowest escapes by
any of the passengers was that of
Mrs. Chas. PARISH, wife of a whole

large rock smashed the window at

women attribute their escape from
injury to the fact that their faces

Richmond, Va, Sept. 3 -Bacil
the mother of Jumbo, an elephant
over 200 years Of age, saved the life
OF man at Wheeling, W. Va, to-
day. A freight train was wrecked
near Morgontown, the engineer be

tive. The wreck caught FIRE, and it
appeared as if the man was doomed.
The sections following the wrecked
train, having aboard a circus came
up and Bacil lifted tbe,o licked To-
comotive with her trunk from the
body of the engineer. Eight other
elephants filled their trunks with
river water and extingushed tn,

Bacil has never lost an intens,

FABLE OF THE PANSY.
Entire Family May Be Traced in Flow
er's Gay Petals.

Lovers of this pretty flower may be
interested in the fable concerning it.
The blossom has five petals and five
sepals In most pansies. especially OF
the earlier and less highly developed
varieties, two of the petals are plain
in color aud three are gay. The two
plain petals have a single sepal each,
and the tE4rd, which is the largest OF
ALL has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents family. consist
ing of husband, wife and four daugh-
tiers, two of the latter being step-chil
dren of the wife. The plain petals are
the step-children, with only one chair;
the two small gay petals are the
daughters, with a chair each, and the
large gay petal is the wife. with two
chairs. To find the father one must
strip away the petals until the stamens
and pistils are bare. They have a
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with flannel wrap round his neck, his
shoulders appraised and his feet in a
bathtub. In France the pansy is uni

WHAT THE BELL MEANT.
Musicians Novel Method of Signaling
for Refreshments.

At the end Of the ballroom floor in
Riley's TOnOpah saloon was a stage,
upon which the orchestra sat. On one
side were tiers of curtained boxes
and along the other ran a raised gal.
lery with drinking tables and chairs.
"A railing held the crowd back from
the dancers, but there were no hur-
dies between the OnloOkers and the
bar. In fact, from the way they gravi-
tated thither l judged the floor to be
on a slant. The place was thronged
and very noisy. In the midst of
swinging two-step one OF the must
clans picked up a COW bell from be-
tween his feet and tangled it loudly.
What does that mean?" | asked "A
fight?" "Oh. no." said man at my
side, the orchestra wants a drink"
and l saw a white-aproned attendant
scudding toward the stage to take
their orders. At regular intervals the
wild clamor of this bovine neck charm
broke out and it never failed to gain
attention.-Rex Beach in Every
body's.

NOT ALL A COMPLIMENT.
Wife's Pride in Husbands Success.
Had a Tinge of Regret.

The doctor and his wife had lived to-
gether four years. She was widow
when he met her. He was a physician
of note. Their life together was hap
py one and no quibbling had entered
the home to set a bad example for
their hopeful. But the wife had
reputation as a wit Her witticisims
and little sarcastic remarks were
known far and wide. Her friends had
all heard of them. They had all felt
the sting of them. The physician had
been working with hard case. He
had spent day and night at the home
of his patient and had won the fight
for life. And he was accordingly well
satisfied with himself. On his arrival
home one evening he turned to his
wife, saying: "You see, WHEY dear?
have pulled my patient through. He
is now well on the road to recovery.
Yes, hubby, dear" returned the wife.
But you are such a perfect master OF
your profession. You are so success
full All, l wish that / had met you
five years sooner than / did. Then
my poor, dear Billy would never have
died"

STORY OF FAMOUS HYMN.
"AII Glory, Laud and Honour" Writ
ten in a Prison.

A popular hymn is TheodulpE's ali
glory, laud and honour" belOn ging to
the ninth century, and said TO have
been written by the poet while in An
gers prison. The author of Hymns
and Their Makers quotes legend in
relation to its use on Palm Sunday,
S21, to the effect that when Louis the
Pious, king of France, was at Anglers,
he took part in the usual procession
of laity and clergy, and as the process
sion passed the place where st. Theo-
dulph, the bishop of Orleans, had long
been incarcerated he was seen stand
ing at the open window of his cell,
and there, amid the silence of the peo-
pie, he sang his hymn, to the delight
of the king, who at once ordered him
to be set at liberty and restored to his
see. In some minor details this legend
is referred to by other writer's as well.
The original is too long to be sung IN
modern services, as it has no fewer
than Is lines. The verses usually
found in our hymnals are but frag-
ment of the original hymn, which, with
more or less abbreviation, has been
used as a professional for many cen
turies.-The Culver.

A Good Roads Reminder.

Complaints are made that the
country roads leading to this city
are in a wretched condition each
spring. This however. is condi
ton that is quite usual at this time
of the year, and which applies to
the country roads in other sections
as well as in this immediate vicinity.
When the frost leaves the ground
in the spring, and especially with
frequent rains and SHOWS incidental
to this particular season of the year,
many of the country roads become
almost impossible for time. The
farmers dread a trip to town, even
with a light rig, to say nothing OF
trying to haul heavy loads, which
would be absolutely impossible over
some Of the roads. AS consequ-
ence the farmers suffer a material
loss in marketing such produce as
they have to sell at this season, and
the city merchants are likewise de-
prived of certain amount of trade
that would naturally come to them
if the roads were in better condi-
ton.
And yet it is a demonstrated fact
that poor roads can be turned into
good roads in any section, and
maintained in that condition
throughout the entire year, regard
less of the season or weather con-
ditiOns. All it requires to secure
this great Improvement is intel
ligent, cooperative effort and a
moderate amount of expense, and
it is a simple calculation to show the
latter will easily pay for itself in
the benefit it will afford to country
people and city t1'adesmen, includ-
ing the saving in wear aud tear on
horse flesh and vehicles. KnowiL g
all this, and also that improved
highways cannot fail to increase
the actual value of all farm lands
adjacent thereto, it is strange in
deed the people generally are so
apathetic with respect to the good
roads movement, and that it takes
such constant drumming and argu-
ment to arouse their interest. Of
course 1T is true the good roads
movement has made marked pro-
gress during the past few years, and
number of the states have taken
it up with evident determination to
make permanent road building a
genuine business. At the same
time the real Importance of this
work is still but little appreciated,
for if the people did appreciate it
they would unite with common ac-
cord in demand for better laws
and systematized organization to
aid in road making.
