Jack Frost on a Train.

A Butler dispatch to the Pittsburg Ga
zette Times under date of 9TH inst. has
this interesting story:
While the passengers on a snowbound
train on the Baltimore Ohio railr"ad
were sitting in the day coach cursing their
luck early this morning, Mrs. Bebeur,
who sat alone, family called to the only
other woman in the car. There was
whispered conversation, and then the
other woman drove all the men into the
smoking car. Half an hour later she
called them back.
"Everything's all right" she said. ITS
a boy. But they've got to have doctor"
The train had been stalled IL hours in
the snowdrifts, and nobody knew when
it could force its way out. The men tore
out several seats, formed them into
sled, arranged the cushions so that they
formed a comfortable bed, pulled out the
bell cord and attached it 10 the sled.
Then six of the men. with the woman
and the newborn babe aboard, dragged
the sled over the snow to the nearest
m house, three miles distant. There
horses were secured, and doctor sDou
was in attendance on Mrs, Bebeur. This
evening, just as the train was able to pull
out, the passengers learned that botf
mother and child were doing well. The
boy will be named Jack Frost, because
his mother came from Frosts, Pa, and he
arrived amid the snow.

THE Chicago Tribune's latest political
canvass is perhaps its best. A National
straw vote just taken by that paper shows
that President Roosevelts policies are
Just as heartily indorsed now by the mass
of Republicans as they ever were. The
figures demonstrate that these policies
are indorsed absolutely by ninety-nine
out of every one hundred persons from
whom ballots were received. Exactly
4 43s voters, representing every State in
The Union were polled on this particular
question. The number included Repub-
lican editors, members of State Legisla-
lures. Representatives and Senators in
Congress and delegates and alternstes to
the last Republican National convention.
No fewer than 4, ,044 attirmatively declared
in writing their approval of the Presi-
dents policies; only 1874 declared posi-
lively against them, while 2lO failed to
answer the question, although they sent
in votes on candidates.
