The limited goes sixty miles an hour.
In the smoker men joke and play cards
and tell risque stories. The day coaches
are crowded and comfortless. The
heavy sleepers as they sway to and fro

Engine and cars and flesh and blood
are ground up together in a shapeless.

So goes humanity's train. Here is a

Why did the train go off the track ?
1t may be the rails We're too light or
the curves too sharp or the equipment
poor. Slower locomotion might have

PASSING OF A PIONEER.

William S. Wood, who died at his
home in San Francisco last week,
was at one time one of the best
known lawyers in Nevada. That was
in the palmy days of the Comstock,
of which Wood was a pioneer settler.
While in Virginia City Wood took
quite an active part in politics. and
represented Storey county in the SEN
ate for a term. He moved to San
Francisco nearly 80 years ago, and
at once made place for himself at
the San Francisco bar. Some years
later he formed a partnership with
Reuben S. Lloyd, very noted menu
Der of the legal profession in the Bay
City. His first famous case was the
Hale d Norcross suit which shook
mining circles on the Pacific coast
about Is years ago, and inflicted
more damage on the Comstock than
all the borrosca ever encountered in
those mines. Later, after the death
of the senator, he became the attor-
ney for the Fair HERS. From the
suit to break the trust established
by Senator Fairs will, he and his
partner derived a great sum of
money in fees. ne was prominent in
Republican circles in California, and
had wide circle of friends through
out that state. His death was due to
pneumonia, caused by exposure two
weeks ago. He was sc years of age,
and leaves a son and daughter. Mrs.

THE GIRoux's RESCUE.

After Imprisonment 45 days in a
drift on the l 900 foot level of the
Alpha mine of the Giroux CONSOLE
dated Mining company, near Ely, Ne
vada, the three men caught at the
time of the caving of the shaft were
rescued last Saturday. Never in the
history of mining in the west did
men toll harder, and longer than in
this case to rescue their companions
from imminent danger. From the
moment of the cave until the men
were hoisted to the surface there
was not a minute that was not
fraught with danger, not only to the
imprisoned men, but to their willing
rescuers. With the ground shifting
and running almost constantly, the
danger of another serious cave was
ever present 1t was a most fortu-
nate and heroic deliverance.-f.os

RESULT OF A JOKE.

Rich Church Makes False Report
Good by Feeding Hungry Mob.
Some enemy of the fashionable Sec
ond Presbyterian church in Pittsburg
recently played joke with surprising
results by circulating a story that at
the morning service good breakfast
would be served to $50 of the city's
needy Long before the time set for
service the vestibules and halls Of the
big church on Eighth street were
crowded with the worst looking lot of
people who had ever been inside the
DOORS They were hungry and had come
to be fed.a though neither the pastor
nor any Of his flock knew what was
expected.
Pastor s. Edward Young soon found
out. however, and, starting the collec-
ton with dollar, which he said would
find breakfast for ten men, he went
through the church and soon had
enough to feed every one and have q
surplus for permanent Sunday morn
ing breakfasts. Now every one is in
vited each Sunday morning to eat In

Young's Breakfast Brotherhood club"

A MARRIAGE FICTION.
The! Old Time Notion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven,

Tho Old Time Notion That Matches
Are Made In Heaven.
The polite fiction obtains that mar
riages are made in heaven. This ro-
mantle viewpoint is particularly popu-
lar in America, where it is held to be
highly improper for parents to, make
any move toward securing good hus-
bands for their daughters and immod-
est for girls to manifest any interest
In the subject themselves.
The conventional theory is that the
matter is on the knees Of the gods and
that in due season husbands will be
provided like mama in the wilderness
for sustenance of the faithful. Unfor-
tunately this miracle does not always
come off for every woman. The supply
Of mamma gives out. There are not
enough husbands to go around, and
these are uneyenly divided Some wo-
men get three or four, while others get
none. But neither the old maids nor
their parents realize that the reason
that they did not share in the dispen-
sation was their own fault, because
they did not put themselves, as old
fashioned Methodists used to say, in
an attitude to receive the blessing

A Curious Cipher Code.

Prisoners confined in different parts
OF jail often use cipher codes in COM
municating with one another. In the
Kansas City jail some years ago the
officials came across hard one. A
fellow named Turner, in for forgery,
invented the puzzle. The writing was
on long narrow strips of paper, on the
edge of which We're letters and parts
of letters that apparently had no con.
nection and from which no words
could be formed. One day deputy
who was passing the cell Of a prisoner
saw him passing long strip of paper
around an octagon lead pencil. He
took the paper away. and on it We're
the mysterious scrawls that had wor-
ried the keepers. But the deputy Sot
an idea from this. and. going back tt
the office. he wrapped the strip around
an octagon shaped lead pencil and
after several trials adjusted it so that
the parts of the letters fitted together
and made sentence, though the writ.
ing was very fine. The writer had
adopted the simple but ingenious plan
of covering the pencil with paper and
had then written along one of the fiat
sides. On unrolling it the writing was
as mystical as a cryptogram, but when
put around the pencil as it was origi.
nally it could be easily understood.

New Way to Gather In Geese.

Wesley Jacobs. farmer. living on
Hook mountain. near Towaco. N. j.,
recently shot into flock of wild
geese which rose from marshy inlet
Of the Passaic river and brought down
two. He was surprised a moment later
to see another goose rise in the air
again and again only to fall to the
ground. Upon investigation Jacobs dis
covered that the goose was caught on
a set line nearly 500 feet long with
fifty hooks set at intervals. A section
Of the line was on the land. and the
goose had swallowed one Of the bats.
Following up the line. Jacobs found it
lowered down into hole under
stump. Pulling the line. he dragged
out of the hole swapping, snarling

The One Sided Humor of Spain.

The Spanish peasant is the most pol
ished gentleman in the world, but the
provincial dandy is not pleasant per
son. He does not limit himself to adj
miring one (Which might be endured)
He laughs at one. Since the foreign.
city hat is different from the Spanish
town hat, the Spanish town hat laughs
and points it's finger. Even lady hat
will do this. 1t never occurs to the
Spanish provincial headgear that it is
very funny, too-that is. because q
Spaniard is under it, and therefore 1t
must be right. Yet if the foreign city
hat laughed the resentment would be
deep.-Louise Closer Hale in Harpar's

One Advantage Of New Style Cars.

One Advantage Of New Style Cars.
One of the greatest blessings Of the
pay-as-you-e cars is that the ques-
ton of how women shall get off cars is
solved. The SO called grab handles are
on the front sides of the door only, A
woman leaving the car must face this
handle and consequently must get off
facing in the direction in which the
car is going. While it kills one of
mans greatest arguments against suf-
frage, the fact that women will at last
make graceful exit from car will
cause sigh of relief from every lover
of the beautiful in art-or nature.

Her most remarkable feats, how

she would read various books, study
