A rear collision between two
freight lines on the main line of the
Oregon Short Line Sunday morning
cost two lives and much suffering. aside
from heavy damage to freight and
equipment. The scene was the deadly
Layton crossing, which has cost seven
lives since last spring. Sundays acct
dent was due, of course, to the bend
which the track makes at the Layton
crossing. but is believed to have been
partly due to the negligence of Engi-
neer Oscar Burg and Conductor Quinn.
Burg was the engineer on the second
train and Quinn, conductor on the first.
Quinn's train was standing at Layton
while the crew was examining a hot
box. He went back to flag the second
train. but too late, and 1t came thun-
derng around the bend. 1t crashed into
the motionless train and the scene
which followed is beyond description.
The engine plowed through the five
rear cars. A woman and her baby
were thrown from one of the outfit cars
attached to the standing train. 1t was
Mrs. Grandson and her infant. Both
died of fractured skulls 10 minutes aft
err striking the ground. Mrs, Frand-
sons husband was in the car and saw
jump and had she done So would have
escaped injury. But mother-like. she
turned to clasp her child, and before
she could turn 10 jump the approaching
freight was crashing towards them.

other car and We're thrown from tho
debris but were not injured as badly

Bishop Christensen had of the accident

AN ELOPEMENT
Mrs. Charles Livingston Gore was
the high sounding name 1 assumed. He
was Is, 1. 16 years old. when we crossed
the Atlantic and settled in Fort Worth,
Tex. He tried to run cattle ranch,
but our animals all died; then we strug-
gled against a hard world and finally
landed in New York. Nothing that he
did seemed to prosper, and the family
which had grown to five-we had three
children-was burden 1 can tell you.
We did not live exactly in tenements,
but our household was not much bet
ter domiciled in Thirty fourth street
near Ninth avenue. My husband died;
then two of our little ones followed.

sweeten character; that rough roads
though long, lead into splendid coun-
tries where character is made gracious
and fine. There's nothing foreed about
the affection which the members of
Miss Robson's company show TO their
star. II you saw the play you must
have noticed how much better the
young actors are in the second act than
in the first In the forIner their fond
ness for Aunt Mary has a chance to
assert itself They do not have to act.
That Is because they genuinely love
her and call her mother because tho
name sets so easily upon her.
When she told me something of her
life 1 understood whence comes the
sympathy she so easily Stimulates on
the stage and which, in private life, is a
characteristic as prominent as her large
brown eyes or her mass of brown hair.
We do not know her very well in the
west although she has been here more
than once with the Empire stock corl-
pany when it was at its finest Still,
she has not been here for many years,
eight or nine, she thought. and that's s
long time on the stage.
She was born in Australia Her ia

The Human MeIodeon.

We have all heard Of musical chairs,
but have you ever heard Of human
melodeon? To prepare for such a
melodeon for an evenings entertain
ment, select eight boys or girls who
can remember the notes assigned
them. The player plays on their
heads as they kneel in row, exactly
as If they were notes Of piano, eX-
cept that to the audience the scale
appears reversed. The tunes must be
in the key of c, with no sharps or fats.
AS each head is struck with mallet
made Of a ball Of soft cotton on the
end of thin stick, the human note
must sing his note, using the syllable
ia" If his head is struck twice, he
must repeat his note.
"The Last Rose of Summer" begin
ming or lower C, is good piece to
play on this odd instrument.

Lions, Tigers and Leopards.

Mr.. R. Lydekker, the English nat

vations of Mr.. R. I. Pocock on the
significance of the spots on lion cubs
as indicating the close relationship
of lions, tigers and leopards. On
lion cubs the pattern Of the markings
is intermediate In character between
the stripes Of the tiger and the
rosettes of the leopard, but inclines
more toward the former. East Afri-
can lions retain more or less distinct
traces Of these early markings even
when they reach maturity. A dis
tinct tiger-like feature of the lioh
cub is a white patch over the eye.
which disappears in the adult. Puma
cubs show a pattern quite unlike
that of the lion, tiger, leopard and

Concernino Bells.

Bells are understood to have had
their origin in China, but at so remote
a time that no precise date can be
given. Their first use was TO clear the
air of evil spirits and to drive off the
storms. Old European records tell how
the tolling of bells kept the devils from
assaulting believers: hence their con
nection with churches. Bells may be
traced in Europe back to the sixth cen-
tury, but were not generally introduced
into the western church much before
the eighth century.
