Saved from Living Tomb.

Last summer / was employed on a
steam shovel which was loading gray
ell on railroad cars from a bank sew
enty-fve feet in height. The bank, be-
cause of its peculiar composition,
would not cave easily, so after all tn
available loose dirt had been loaded,
five other men and myself would start
side by side at the bottom of the bank
with long dirt picks and dig down the
dirt as we worked towards the top
of the bank.
This was difficult and dangerous, as
we had to stand always in loose dirt,
and many times it was impossible to
keep from under the large W. which
we made in working our way into the
bank.
One morning, after a hard rain, we
were digging down the bank, when
without warning a large cave fell. the
dirt fell around me and covered my
feet and legs, and then before l could
free myself l saw another large cave
coming, so l held my breath n in an
instant / was covered with several
tons of dirt.
The men did not know just where
my head was so they could use nothing
for digging except their hands. The
pressure on my body was something
terrible, but / knew if | was ever to
get a breath of air again l must not
become excited, so | composed myself
as much as possible and waited.
Suddenly l heard one of the men
say. Here is his head and another,
Don't say anything, Bob" In a little
while the dirt was removed from my
breast, and [ could breathe once more.

position to abolish seventeen pension

appropriation bill for amendments and
finally passed 1t. The bill carries an
appropriation Of $l50,s69, 900.
An amendment by Mr.. Taylor Of
Ohio to restore the pension agencies
which the bill drops In the interests
OF the consolidation OF pension dis
bursements In Washington, aroused
considerable discussion. Mr.. Taylor
besides insisting that the proposed re.
duction would work a great hardship
on the large number Of clerks now EN-
ployed in the offices. who would be re.
CURED to come to Washington, dsclar-
ed that the economy sought to BE- Of.
fected would not be realized.
The Rough Riders from Ohio are IN

Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York, In the
course of an argument tending to show
that the president would not discon-
tinue the agencies even II congress
withheld the appropriation for them.
Mr.. Fitzgerald referred to the ref.
cree system and charged that appoint.

against the amendment, amid great
confusion and loud cries of vote,
