Like a swift-heeting meteor. Il fast

A flash of the lightning. a break o.

shone beauty and pleasure-her trl
umphs are by;
And the memory Of those who loved
her and praised,
Are alike from the minds OF the Iiv-
ing erased.
The hand OF the king that the sceptro
hath borne;
The brow OF the priest that the nitro
hath worm
The ege of the sage and the heart of
the brave
Are hidden and lost in the depth OF
the grave.
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW and
to reap;
The herdsman, who climbed with his
goats up the steep;
The beggar, who wandered In search
OF his bread.
Have faded away like the grass that
we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion
of heaven,
The sinner who dared to remain un.
forgiven;
The wise and the foolish. the guilty
and just.
Have quietly mingled their bones In
the dust.

That withers away to let others sue

So the multitude comes. even those we

To repeat every tale that has often
been told.
For we are the same our fathers have
been;
We see the same sights our fathers
have seen;
We drink the same stream and view

And run the same course our fathers
have run.

Mr. L. W. Thomas Saves the Life
Of His Little Daughter Saturday
at Union Station.

The little daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. w. Thomas. of Praire street,
very narrowly escaped death or SER
ious injury, early Saturday morn
ing at the union station. The little
girl, who is only six years of age,
was allowed to get OF train No. IL,
on which she had returned home
from visit with her grandparents,
and was standing between the coach
rom which she alighted and an i'm
migrant train on the next track.
As the immigrant train was back
ing toward the G.. and f.. eating
house, the little girl attempted to
cross the tracks and as the engine
again advanced she was standing on
the track. apparently unconscious of
her danger.
BY piece of rare good fortune, her
father, who Is employed as assistant
electrician at the interlocking plant,
rushed to her rescue and pulled her
from the track as the train as the
train rushed by. The immigrants
were crowded about the train and no
one semed to notice the danger In
which the little tot was placed.
Bystanders who witnessed the mar
row escape of the child, say 1t was
only by the greatest presence of mind
that the father saved the life of his
little girl. Had he hesitated a mo-
ment or stopped to warn her of the
danger by calling to her the child
would undoubtedly been crushed be-
cath the wheels of the train.

RAILROAD Votes

An immigrant train, composed of
twelve coaches and hauling over
twelve hundred people, stopped at
the local station this morning, while
enroute to Wisconsin. The crowd
was composed of Danes, Germans
nd Spaniards.
Peter Miller, car inspector of the
Hooking Valley, had his right hand
badly crushed and bruised while at
work this morning.
Considering the fact that the
scarcity Of railroad operators will
soon be serious problem, the Erie
road, 1t is reported, has decided
to establish schools at various
points along its lines, where tele-
graphy will be taught free Of
charge to those who agree to accept
positions with the road. The in
structions will be first class and
will be given by experienced opera
tors.
1t has not been formally decid-
ed where the school in this division
will be located but verv probably
Marion will be selected. MANY
officials favor union school but
the Erie seems prone to have its
own method Of instruction.
