How Lord Kelvin Saved His Neck.

The late Lord Kelvin, when he was
deep in some abstract problem, was
very absent-minded and unpunctual.
So much so, that his parrot used al.
ways TO cry out: Late again! Late
again." when the scientist came in
to his meals. He never gave himself
time to catch trains, and for many
years persisted in jumping into
trains while they were in motion--to
the great risk of his limbs. His
friends declared that the ice acci.
dent which famed him was blessing
in disguise. for It saved his neck

The thousand soft voices of the

me---the small rustic in tufts of grass,
the silky swish Of leaves. the buzz of
insects, the hum of bees in blossoms

ALLEGED THIEVES ARRESTED.
We're Taken From Freight Train As
II Was Passing Through Oak
land This Morning.

This morning Chief of Police Brown
ing was in receipt of telegram notify
ing him to be on the lookout for pair
of alleged thieves who broke into and
robbed FELTON, s store at Corinth, west of
Oakland, last night, and who were on an
east-bound freight train which was due
to arrive here within few minutes.
The policeman went to the station and
just as he arrived the train came into
view which he waved down and the ren
seeing him jumped from the car upon
which they were riding, but on the OPP
posite side of the track. When they
jumped both fell, one of them being
grabbed by Mr.. w. S. Bond, brother of
Mr.. N. U. Bond, and in the tussel
which ensued Mr.. Bonds arm was con-
siderablY bruised, but he held on to his
man. the second alleged thief ran
back up the track and was overhauled
at the hotel crossing by Constable Maj
fet. The men were taken before JUS
tice Teats where they were examined
and pending the arrival here of the
West Virginia authorities in which state
the theft took place, they were sent to
Jail.
When the prisoners were searched
nothing was found upon them which
connected them with the robbery, ex-
cept pair of shoes which Mr. FELTON,
thought was taken from his store. The
officers, however, state that when the
arrest was made both men wore lodge
pirs, but afterward these pins could not
be found.
The men gave their names as Charles
Williams, Of St Louis, Mo, and Harry
B. Rooney, of Columbus, Ohio, and are
fine specimens of manhood.

REPORT.
&'Sa.,

l.. Mt. Carbon, Dec. 14.-It becomes
my duty as Superintendent Of Mis-
aips1a. for 5has saSast ~ assist
Sunday School convention, to speak
a few words through the columns
Of this paper concerning the work
which we have been trying to foster
Those of us who were 30 fortunate
as to attend our annual session in
Charleston last May have not forgot
ten the pleasing results witnessed in
going over the reports of our mis-
sionary department.
That body Of earnest 1aborers look
out upon the fields Of this rapid de-
Velopffig state of ours and advised
that our field of missionary opera
ton be broadened, by" introducing
our work in the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Norfolk and Western dis
tricts and that the work be continued
in. the Chesapeake and Ohio section
as heretofore.
The superintendent Of Missions
WasSHp thorized to take the general
oversight Of this operation.
In keeping with said instruction,
after leaving Charleston, my atten-
tion was called to the needy condi-
ton in several places. Mrs. Mary S.
Reid, one Of the Board members, was
dispatched to Gauly River and ~she
succeeded in setting apart a Sunday
School, which, now is going on sue
cessfully.
The Executive Board in it's June
meeting at Montgomery approved of
the appointment of Rev. Geo. J. .Jett,
[ OF Clarksburg, to work in the bounds
Of the Mt. Zion Association. He
was given the proper credentials and
such instructions necessary to enable
him to credi bly, represent our Sun
day School work in that section.
His reports show that he has been
laboring faithfully but his work has
been largely seed sowing from which
we are hoping to reap a bountiful
harvest.
The Virginian Railroad, which is
now being operated between Deep
water and Princeton, has opened up
to us new field Of missionary
operation which has received much
attention by your Sunday school
missionary. All Of the new settle
ments have been visited,~ two Sun
day schools have been organized, lit
eratt1re has been distributed in the
homes and prayer meetings have
been held in the mining and railroad
camps. This route leads US into
the wide north division Of the Nor
folk and Western and this kind OF
work has been given hearing in
this territory also.
While I was on the Guyandotte
/ Valley, Bro. VIM. Smith rendered
me much service in getting over the
field. All the settlements inhabited
by our people were visited and such
religious service rendered as was
needed. The Sunday School which
/ organized at Ethel is still going on
with q promising outlook.
1t can be seen from the several re-
ports passed by our annual Assem-
blies that it is expected that meei
ally the associations, conventions and
uniohs In the state. This greatly in.
creases my mileage, still / have en-.
deavored to carry ouk such recon.
, rnendation. In so doing l WAS cor.
daily received and / assisted where.
ever I could to foster their interests
