"Oh, you air, air you?" Queried Peleg hotly Well. I guess you ain't goin' till I'm aboard, or by ginger I'll see the directors of this road in Jail, sure as my name is Peleg Whackem. You don't seem to understand that rail road is run for the accommodation of the public. Times ain't what they used to be, when your doshdanged fast mail gave two toots and was from Peters store to Rhodes Crossin' without stop pin. We got some legislation, now, and the people are runnin tn rail roads-nOt a let of overfed directors. So you jist wait right where you are"

 The engineer read the statutes slow ly and with great care Peleg tugged at the refractory boot meantime.

 You bet it's clear. an 1t shows the people got some rights as we'll as the railroad" said Pelee.

DISTANCES SEEM TO SHORTEN.
Thing That Struck New Yorker on
 His Latest Visit to Old Home.

The thing that struck me this time," said a New Yorker who had just made a little visit to the town in which he was born, was the short ness of the distances in the old place.
 Il remember that when l first used to go back the buildings there that had seemed big to me in my youth grad ually grew small, but this time the dis tance had dwindled remarkably, too.
 The railroad station there is on the edge of the town and you take a street car to ride to the business cen ter. That used to seem to me to be quite ride; but this time We got there before I knew it.
 What, l said, you don't mean we've got to Blank street?'
 Yes, here We ar@ said the old home friend, and so we were.
 You see, the distances were shrink. ing now, as the buildings had already done; and friendly and pleasant as the old town seemed-and it's steadily growing, too, and is a bigger place than ever-still 1t seemed smaller and smaller to one whose later and now fixed impressions were of the big buildings and the big distances of the big town of New York"

A M ID EAL RAIL RO AID A Place Where They Are Run
 for the People

The engine of the fast mail snorted and wheezed down the grade and whistled half a mile from Peleg Whackem's farmhouse
 Peleg was going to town that day and he looked out of the window in the direction of the whistle.
 Peleg got broom and tied a red shirt on the end of the broom handle. ''Go out and flag it, Lindy, and tell the engineer Peleg Whackem's going to town and wants him to wait a minute :"
 Lindy scampered out and stood in the middle of the track. waving the red shirt from the broom handle. The whistle footed twice and the en- zine came to a stop in front of Peeg' s pump.
 "Well?" said the engineer, thrusting his greasy cap and head out of the cab window.
 Pop wants to go to town" said Lindy dragging the red shirt along the track as she went up to the en- zine. He wants you to wait a min ute He ain't got his boots greased yit, and mas ironin' him a white shirt"
 All right" said the engineer, grufiiy. How long'n 1t take, do you think"
 "Oh, mebbe half an hour" said Lindy.
 The engineer lay down on the grass, glad of the chance to rest.
 This is what I call railroadin'," he muttered, sinking to sleep beneath the shade of a spreading elm.
 The fireman drew a cup of water at the pump. Passengers alighted from the fast mail and gathered wild flow CTS by the way
 An inquisitive fly awakened the en- gineer and he looked at his watch. Then he looked over where Peleg Whackem was tugging at his boots.
 Hey, Peleg!" he cried "Ain't you ever comin'? l got passengers on this train an they want to get to the city. If you ain't ready in ten minutes more I'll go an leave you"
 "I cant git this doggoned boot on,' explained Peleg, tugging till he was red in the face. Its got wet and shrunk, I guess"
 Well, ain't goin to wait for your boots to dry" said the engineer, getting on his feet I've waited half an hour for you now. We've got fast freights on this road an we cant be ever lastin'ly knockin' them out. I'm goin to pull out.

Londoners Make Amends for Faults h
 Many Queer Ways.

Conscience money" advertisements are published from time to time in the London papers, acknowledging receipt by the chancellor of the excheQuer of various sums from anonymous people who have evaded taxation and later re- pented of cheating their country.
 A remarkable instance of this was the published acknowledgement of $l,S00 in gold from 'X X K" The bull lion was sent by registered post to the treasury. where it was suspected of being bomb or internal machine, but 1t proved to be tin box contain ing 360 sovereigns neatly packed. with note signed X X X" stating that the coin was conscience money" and asking for an acknowledgment in the newspaper.
 Five thousand dollars was the lar gest amount ever received by the treasury as conscience money" Per. haps the Queerest form of sending conscience money" was that adopted by one consciencestricken taxpayer, who sent 100 sovereigns, each neatly wrapped in paper and inserted in one of the 100 round holes made in a tablet of wood. The offering was inclosed in large envelope. which secretary of the treasury found on his desk one morning.

N nervousness.

Nervousness is often due to some poison formed in the blood by the de composition of undigested food-in other words. often arises primarily from Indigestion
 Nervousness when due to this cause may sometimes continue through many years without causing danger ous coh6ftfons On the other hand nervous disturbances due to this auto intoNcation or self-poisoning may be immediately fatal.
 Many people. however, suffer from nervous Indigestion" as they call it Tor 20 years or more without fatal ter. imitation. In these cases there Is of course gradual weakening of the general system which predisposes to many diseases, and death is always premature, usually being traceable to what is called heart failure "-HeaIth Culture.

Apportion Days Work, and Give Ever.
 Energy to Ii.

The over-scrupulous and methodical individual who can neither sleep nor take vacation until all the affairs of his life are arranged must remind himself that this happy consummation will not be attained in his lifetime says Lippincott's. It behooves him, therefore, if he is ever to sleep, or if he Is ever to take a vacation, to do IL now. nor need he postpone in- definitely
 The days work should be started with the resolution that every task shall be taken up in its turn with out doubts and without forebodings, that bridges shall not be crossed until they are reached, that the vagaries of others shall amuse and interest, not distress us, and that We shall live in the present, not in the past or the future. We must avoid undertaking too much and whatever we do under. take we must try not to worry as to whether we shall succeed. This only prevents our succeeding We should devote all our efforts to the task it. self, and remember that even failure under these circumstances may be bet ter than success at the expense of prolonged nervous agitation.
