horse ridden by young fellow from
Dos Cabesas slipped fell and rolled
quite over his rider. At once the an

mediately seized by the nearest rider.
But the Dos Cabesas man lay still,
his arms and legs spread abroad, his
head doubled sideways in horribly

two more looked carefully over the in.

Homer sent one OF the men in after
the bed-wagon. by means of which the
sufferer was shortly transported to

was again in the saddle. How men

the rarest thing In the world for the
latter to be either killed or permanent

How Enola Got Its Name.

Enola. the famous Pennsylvania
railroad yard on the west branch OF
the, Susquehanna, got its name in a
strange way.
A telegraph operator who spent the
lonely hours in the little watch box,
with no more than half dozen trains
q day to disturb him or break the
monotony. before the big yard was
built, called up the Baltimore office
and asked to be relieved from such a
lonesome place. In sending the mes
sage he signed operator In charge "f
the tower all alone" There was some
trouble on the wire and the last word
could not be understoon. He was
asked to repeat and then to spell 1t
backward. This he did, first alone
then "Enola." In this way the town,
which was built TO order in a little
more than two years, got its name.

gan to feel blindly about in midair,
hanging from cloud. 1t came nearer
and nearer with uncanny speed, draw
ing up to itself as 1t came a colossal
cone of turbulent sea, until the two
joined together in an enormous black
pillar some quarter of mile broad
at the base and probably good thou
sand feet high. uniting as it did the
clouds and the sea below. Across the
darkening sea, against the threatening
copper-crimson sunset came this gi-
gantic horror. Waiting over troughs
OF torn.up water in veritable dance
of death, trying to find and shatter
our fragile little ship"

HERE'S IDEAL MODEL CITIZEN.
The Coming Man as Seen by Admir-
ers Of Socialism.

To describe an ideal modern citi
zen now is at best to make guess
and a suggestion as to what must be
built In reality by the efforts of a
thousand minds. But he will be a
very different creature from that in
different, well-behaved business man
who passes for good citizen to-day.
He will be neither under the slave
tradition nor a rebel. nor q vehement
elemental man. Essentially he will be
aristocratic; aristocratic not in the
sense that he has slaves or class in
feriors, because probably he will have
nothing Of the sort. but aristocratic in
the sense that he will feel that the
state belongs to him and he to the
state. He will probably be public
servant; at any rate he will be a man
doing some work in the complicated
machinery of the modern community
for a salary and not for speculative
gain. Typically he will be a profess
sional man. do not think the ideal
modern citizen can be a person living
chiefly by buying for as little as he
can give and selling for as much as
he can get; indeed, most Of what we
idolize as business enterprise. think
he will regard with very considerable
contempt. But then am a Socialist
and look forward to the time when the
economic machinery Of the commu-
nifty will not be field for private en-
richment but for public service

Deadly Insult.

A New York youngster was caught
literally wiping up the street with
another boy with whom he was sup
posed to be on especially friendly
terms. The detector of his pugilistic
encounter was his mother, who, after
she had yanked him into the house,
proceeded to deliver a lecture on the
sin Of fighting. The boy listened for
q while In silence.

last in uncomfortable indignation. ITS

unless due to some functional disorder
