It seems to me that with the multi

wise If the seeds of wisdom were in
him. / do not know even a wise man
whose instinct for wisdom would not
be deadened by the Reorganization OF
the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books
should be taken In doses no bigger
than music or pictures; they are even
harder to digest. There Is more
drunkenness in a book than in all the
vineyards of France. A book may re-
make a mans soul. Books should be
treated with reverence or cast out as

GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
Ranchman Rode Far After Most Serl.
GUS Injury.

Jack Farland, ranchman living at
the base of Pixies Peak, and whose
post Office is Midland, in this county,
yesterday suffered broken leg by
being caught between a horse which
he was riding and timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass
while en- route to this city, says the
Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest of pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing. however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi-
BILE it would be for him to remount in
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by surgeon of
this city, Farland collapsed and 1t
was late in the afternoon before he
was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap
pened early in the morning.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why eX-
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable In
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
II there Is any suspicion of damp
ness in n bedroom it is probably due,
If there Is wallpaper on tho wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as a blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in It..
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; 1t means disease, Ill
health and unhappiness. 1t is fre-
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of it's power to retain infec-
tion of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall Is a perfect wall. 1t
never flakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and expels it, 1t opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodworl
in the bedroom, as the presence OF
dust on woodwork is menace to
health as well as an evidence Of poor
housekeeping.

EFFECT OF WOMEN VOTING.
British Writer Tells of Conditions in
New Zealand.

New Zealand was the first British
colony to adopt womens suffrage
as far back as 1898" says writer in
the London Chronicle. THE New
Zealand woman was given universal
adult suffrage. Though she had not
sought it, she immediately used it.
Out of 100000 women 100000 had
placed themselves on the register in
a few months, and 10000 voted in the
general election of November, 1893.
They voted peacefully and in order
during the day while the men were
at work, and left the booths to the
men in the evening. They have voted
with similar regularity and orderli-
ness ever since. How do the women
use their powers? Very calmly, by
all accounts. Roughly, women make
chise as do men. The result has not
produced either new heaven or a
new hell. Men have not been de-
prived of their rights. There has
been no disorder or unseemly behav-
ior-no strange revolution in dress or
manners. Enfranchisement has led
neither to divided households nor di-
vided skirts. Families, as mat
ter of fact, generally vote on the
same side. But on the other hand
there is general agreement that FAM
lily life has become brighter, that hus-
bands and wives have more subjects
in common to talk about, and that
women are really setting themselves
TO study and watch public affairs.
The effects, in fact, have been rath-
er social than political. Women seem
to be treated with more real respect
and not merely at election times
There has arisen between the sexes
that sense of equality which is per-
haps the only permanent and enduring
social basis. Speaking generally, they
have simply become citizens, whose
part in public affairs is not sharply
distinguished from that of men. New
Zealand women have simply stepped
into equality. And Ia years of polit.
ical life have shown them equal to
that equality. Working side by side
with man, woman still keeps her
place-'not like to-like, but like In
difference a

Mount Holly, N. J-Many mother
has saved her child from death. Here
is child who has saved her mother
from death-death under the grinding
wheels of locomotive tearing along
the rails at 60 miles an hour.
The child is 12-year-old Katie John
son; the mother, Mrs. William John
son. If it hadn't been for little Katie
Mrs. Johnson would be in her grave
now and Katie a motherless little
schoolgirl. But Katie kept her wits
where another child might have lost
them.
The train was the five o'clock mail
from Philadelphia. 1t was behind
time. The engineer was trying to
catch up to his schedule, so he pulled
the throttle out to the last notch. He
took a chance on the curve near this
city and was about to take the bridge
at top speed when he was Mortified to
see a little girl standing on the tracks,
not 200 yards away.
She was tearing along toward the
on-coming train, waving something. 1t
was red. The engineer knew.
Stopped Just in Time.
He threw over the throttle and
jammed down the brakes-the child's
signal meant danger. The heavy train
came to stop with such shock that
all the passengers were thrown from
their seats in the coaches. The pilot
of the locomotive wasn't 20 feet from
the little girl when the wheels stopped
grinding along the rails. II
whats the matter?" cried the en-
gineer, jumping down from his seat
in the cab, followed by his fireman.
The passengers piled out, too, curl
GUS to know. There in front of them
stood a little girl, waving her red muf-
fier still, right in the path of the giant
locomotive that would have ground
her to pieces had it gone two rods fur
ther.
Quick. come quick!" she cried, for
answer.
Then she started to run back over
the tracks, followed by the train crew
and scores of the passengers. When
they got to the bridge they knew what
the matter was.
Woman Caught Between Ties.
There on the bridge, which the train
would have crossed in five seconds
more, they found woman, badly hurt.
She had tried to walk across the
bridge and had slipped, falling be-
tween the ties. There she was tight
ly wedged. Her head and shoulders
protruded above the ties. Any loco
motive that crossed would have de-
capitated her instantly. And she was
30 tightly stuck in between the ties
that had any train passed over, there
would have been no chance for escape
1t was Katies mother.
II FELL" she gasped, while Katie
and / were crossing the bridge on the
way to town. was caught fast"
Gently the train hands and some Of
the passengers pulled Mrs. Johnson
out of her perilous position. Then they
found that her left leg had been frac
tured. She never could have helped
herself; she would have been killed
instantly.
Katie Not Excited.
The women passengers turned to lit
tie Katie, who didn't seem to think
she had done anything out of the OF
dinary. There she was, standing or
the bridge trying to comfort her moth
er, who was suffering intense pair
from her broken leg. The women GOV
cred her with kisses, which Katie
didn't seem to relish, because she wai
excited over seeing that somebod,
would get carriage to take her moth
er home.

The Horse Doctor.

Little Matte flew into the house
last evening very late for nursery
tea, and hurried to her mothers chair
"Oh, mother" she cried, don't scold
me, for I've had such a disappoint-
ment! A horse fell down In the
street and they said they were going
to send for horse doctor, so of
course / had to stay. And after I
waited and waited he came, and oh,
mother, what do you think, 1t was
only man!"-Harper's.

The carriage was called and injured
Mrs. Johnson was taken home, glad
that she had suffered only broken
leg.
But after they got back to the cars
the train hands began to tell stories
of old railway men who had forgotten
to wave anything red when to do it
meant saving lives.
Katie is a slight child with flaxen
hair, cold steady blue eyes, and clear
waxen pink complexion. She has
about her an air of one who thinks
and acts quickly and with fearless
resolution.
How Accident Occurred.
1--WE all had been to Philadelphia
that day." said Mrs. Johnson. Il had
with me a little four-year-old boy,
Herbert Durand, and Katie. When we
got back to Mount Holly / was pretty
tired and thought 1 would walk home
the shortest way. This led me over
the bridge near the station. The children
were ahead of me but short distance,
and were getting over the bridge nice
ly. We walked on plank that runs
across the middle of the bridge. was
about half way across, think, when
my foot slipped off this plank and
caused me to fall, knocking down lit
tie Herbert, and nearly rolling him
into the creek. After had put him on
his feet | started to get up, and in
doing so made a misstep that plunged
both my feet and then my body be-
tween two ties, until only my head
and shoulders We're above the bridge.
Il saved myself from dropping into
the creek below by spreading out my
arms when I felt myself going down.
Child Thought Quickly. VII
a"I screamed as i fell and this at
tracted the attention of Katie, who
was little distance ahead of me. She
came running back and taking hold
of one arm tried to help me up, but
1 could not lift myself enough to get
out. While was thinking what to
do, whether l should drop into the
creek below or try some other means
of getting loose, I found Katie had left
me and started for the station for
help. tG.
"She had gone but few steps when
/ heard whistle, and saw Katie,
white as sheet, with big tears in her
eyes, give one look at me and then
turn about and fairly fly across the
bridge up the track toward the train
that was just visible around curve.
Il could not understand what Katie
intended to do to help me, but some
how had absolute confidence that the
child would save my life.
The Mothers Agony.
Hardly had she gone off the bridge
than she snatched from her neck red
muffier that she wore and waved 1t
frantically at the engineer, at the
same time planting herself in the mid
die of the track, apparently with the
belief that If the flag did not stop the
engine she would. When i saw this
l looked at the engine for an instant,
and not being able to see that the
train was slowing down my blood
turned hot and cold by turns, and l
shut my eyes, determined that /
would not move, for knew that II the
engine ran past Katie and her sig
nal 1t meant that death had come
to her. and might just as well come
to me.
"In that moment lived over good
many years. before l realized that
the train had stopped and was being
lifted from danger.

dent which | saw several years ago
