FREIGHT ENGINE MADE GAL.
LIANT PURSUIT or WILD
BOX OAR ON The 600.

Bismarck, ". D.. Nov. 21---Yester-
day additional details Of the thrilling
ride 500 employe named Percy
Simpson had on q run-ew"y box car
Tuesday evening made the story still
more interesting.
II appears that the train crew was
switching at Wilton when the box
car ran of the siding onto the main
line with Percy Simpson. a brake
man. on top of It. The brake shaft
had been bent so that it would not
permit the chain to be wound up and
he could do nothing but stand on
the car and enjoy the ride, believ-
ing the engine, which had set out in
pursuit, would catch up with and Sc
cure the car.
A short distance out Of Wilton the
hand car was met with and O. wreck
was certain, apparently, but the little
car stayed on the track and pushed
along, adding immensely to the dang
er Of the car being ditched.
While going at a terrific rate Of
speed the brakeman had the hardi-
hood to climb down the end of the
box car to the hand car where he
secured a pick handle and Lhen
scrambled back on top OF the wildly
swaying box car. Even with lever he
was unable to wind up the brake, and
had to lie down on the car which by
that time was going mile a minute.
With throttle wide open the big en-
gine tore down the track after the
runaway, but not until the hill at
Arnold was encountered and stop
made did the mogul come up with
1t. ra
Altogether II was a remarkable ex-
perience for all concerned and Brake
man Simpson does not care for any
more rides like that

Taft's Election Starts Business.

Bismarck Tribune; Colonel Little
returned from his trip to New Hamp-
shire Thursday noon. While absent he
attended the Dartmouth Princeton
football game In New York and the
Harvard Dartmouth game in the stad !
iun at Boston. At the latter game
there were about 10000 inside the
Stadium and as many outside There
were only s5 seconds OF play left when
the winning touchdown was made by
Harvard, the Dartmouth eleven being
short two Of their best players.
The result OF the election Of Taft has
started the wheels OF industry In every
town in the east, said the colonel. One
would scarcely believe that all lines
Of business would take such start az
occurred after the election The west
will soon feel the good effects OF this
forward movement OF business In the
east Even the democrats who voted
for Bryan are not particularly disap.
pointed at his defeat. They voted the
ticket from force OF habit.

CHANGES WON'T
Be sweeping
SENATOR HALE DECLARES CON-
DITIoNs ARE SUCH THAT IT
WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO
MAKE GREAT CHANGES.

Washington, Nov. 21-Senator Hale
does not anticipate any effort to change
the tariff law during the present ses-
sion of congress.
"Once In WHILE" he said today,
you will hear such a suggestion but
1t is clearly out Of the question and
1t will not be undertaken. And" he
added, at is safe to say that there
will not be any radical changes when
the much talked Of revision is made.
Recent events have made 1t certain
that there win be no slaughtsrtng of
interests. Necessarily there will be
some alterations, some readjustments,
but no general tearing down and build
ing up. 1t Is clear that the country
does not expect nor court such a
course, and congress will not enter up
on It,"
The senator expects the extra session
to be called very soon after March 4.
He does not count upon any important
legislation beyond the passage of the
appropriation bills during the last ses-
sion Of the present congress.
The senator has returned to Wash
ing in anticipation of the meeting Of
the monetary committee, which has
been set for Monday and he said today
that the commission had not been able
to so far prosecute its inquiries as to
be able to make any important recon-
mendation at the forthcoming session
of congress.

Learned Many Things.

I'VE learned a number of interesting
facts during our visit to Europe last
summer and have done much work in
this country" he said, ''but it will nee.
esarily be some time before we shall be
in position to make any definite sug-
gestions for the modification of the
monetary system Of the United States
1t is a big subject and will require
careful attention. 1t is possible that
we may ask to have some changes
made in the law regulating the inspec-
tion Of banks, but II that is done It
will be merely Incidental"
The senator's return has revived the
suggestion so frequently heard imme-
diately after Senator Allison's death
that he (Mr. Hale) will succeed Mr..
Allison as chairman as the senate
committee on appropriations, but he
was evidently not inclined to look with
favor upon that. He would only say
that there will be plenty of time to
settle that question after congress
meets three weeks hence.
Willmar tribune., 1908-12-30

In the world has been illustrated by so many
famous artists. 1t is easy to see some of the
reasons which have made it favorite subject
First, there is the religious interest which
centefs in the entrance Of the Divine Saviour
into the world. Such an event, for all who be-
lieve IN the Christian religion must have
profound significance. 1t is the sunrise OF
faith, the beginning of a new spiritual world,
the Lying of the cornerstone of the kingdom
of heaven on earth. Even if the artist himself
were not sure of this did not altogether be-
lieve 1t. he would know that other people be-
lieved it; and by the imagination he could see
what supreme Importance was given by the
faith Of Christendom to the brief and simple
story of the birth at Bethlehem.
Second, there is the human interest which
clngs to the ever beautiful relation of mother
hood and childhood. The tenderest and most
unself;sh love is that with which true moth
LOOKS upon her little child; the most perfect
innocence and trustfu JOY revealed in the
deep eyes of the baby who smiles into the face
of his mother bending over him. The paint
ings cf the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary
have 'lrawn into themselves the best thoughts
of mea concerning the gracious secret of ma
ternit; and the unstained bliss of infancy.
Fantastic Legends.
Thi: d. there is the poetic and pictorial inter-
est W aich grows out of the incidents of the
story, the strange contrast between the heaven
ly significance Of the birth of Christ and it's
outward circumstances, the blending of light
and shade, JOY and sorrow, hope and fear, an
selic aongs and earthly prosecutions. All these
varied elements. centering about a single figure,
afford field of illumination and illustration
such rs art loves.
My irst advice, then, to those who wish
thoroughly to appreciate, and enjoy these pic
lures would be to read and re-read the gospel
of st. Matthew from the eighteenth verse of
the fi,st chapter to the end of the second chap
ter. AID the first two chapters of St. Lukes
gospel Then it would be wise 10 read some
of the later legends which were woven in the
apocr"phal books, and in the medieval poems
and narratives about the birth and childhood
of Christ Many of these legends are curious
and fantastic evidently allegorical and symbol
cal. Y'hey have none of the simple directness
and cuiet restraint of the Biblical history.
They are II effect, clear illustrations of that
native trait of the human mind-familiar to
every one who has tried to tell true story
to thild-the craving for picturesque detail
"How did it happen? Where did 1t happen?
Who was there? How did they look? What
did they do afterwards" These are the ques
tions shat children ask when they hear a story;
and tEese are the questions to which men have
given fanciful answers in the apocryphal and
medic eval legends, such as the protevangeum
of St James, the gospel of St. Thomas, the
gospe. of the pseudO-Matthew. The history OF
the nativity Of Mary, the golden legend OF Jaco-

the painters and embodied in their pictures
Suppose you have picture of the Annuncia-
tlon which represents Mary as passing through
garden when the angel came to her, that is
In accordance with the Protevangelium which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins of Nazareth to spin the royal
purple of the Temple veil one day, as
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher OF water, the angel met her and said:
Hail, thou who art full of grace!" and when
she went back to her spinning he came again
to her to complete his message If the picture
represents Mary in the house, working at the
VEIL the artist has chosen to show us the Sec
ond appearance of the angel. The emblems
which the artists put into their pictures are
significant. The pot of lilies at Mary's side,
the hly-branch in the angels hand symbolic
purity The olive-bough borne by the dove
means peace.
Or here is picture of the nativity which
shows the Child and his mother and Joseph in
cave. This is according to the account of
Justin Martyr land quite in harmony with
the customs Of Palestine) that the stable of
the inn where Christ was born was grotto
in the rocks. Here perhaps you see the OK
and the ass bowling their heads before the
child. This is told by the gospel of the pseudo
Matthew in fulfment of the prophecy of
Isaiah: "The OK knoweth his owner and the
H.,
zling supernatural light radiatng from the
child, that shepherds who have just entered
must shade their eyes. This detail 10 given
in many legends.
How the Story Develops.
The five chief points around which the paint
ings of the birth and childhood of Christ nat
urally group themselves are Q) The Annun-
citation; CD The Nativity; co The Alteration
of the Magi (D The Flight Into Egypt; (5)
The Home at Nazareth.
T. The Annunciation comes from the first
chapter of st. Luke, and with it are associated
two minor incidents, the visit Of Marv to her
cousin Elizabeth, and the birth of John the
Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. The painters
have delighted to show us the virginia. beauty
and meekness of Mary; the Joy with which the
angel brought his message, and the awe and
wonder with which she received the new con-
ception of her son as the Son of the Highest,
the Saviour of his people. No picture Of the
Annunciation is good in which this wonder and
this Joy are not expressed. If in addition the
painter has chosen to put in many details to

miral, as they approached the other
group.
"Go, and go quickly, Kephard," said!
the king, extending his hand again. "I
would that l could be there and see
the denouement."
But your majesty can see some of
it at least" said Kephard, IF you will
board the Britannia any time to-mor-
row, and indeed you would vastly
honor us; the men would be like to,
die for JOY at such a visit. You could
at least watch the prisoner take his
departure"

And making their salutations and
obeisances to their majesties, the little

main divisions: those which represent its &C.
tual journey and those which show the Holy
Family resting, either by the way, or In the
land of Egypt. The paintings which deal with
the latter theme-commonly known as the Re-
pose-include some of the most beautiful works
of art, especially during the last three centu-
ries. Many details have been introduced from
the legends of the flight, in which the apocry-
phal History of the Nativity of Mary" is par
ticularly rich This is one of them: "The Holy
Family rested by the road beneath date palm
and Mary desired to eat of the fruit; but 1t
hung high above her head. Joseph being
weary, was not able to climb the tree. But the
Child Jesus knew his mothers wish, and at his
command the tree bent down it's branches.
Then he thrust his fingers into the sand, and
a spring of water gushed forth. The next morn
ing Jesus thanked the obedient tree, and prom
ised that one of its branches should be carried
by the angels and planted in Paradise
The Triumph Of the lnnoeents.
The landscape is half shad0wed by night
but the moonbeams weave a flmy radiance
over plain and the distant hills where tho
watch fires are growing red. In front marches
Joseph, with his basket of tools on his back,
a sturdy son of toll. The mother, noble
woman of Palestine carries the child In her
arms, happy and fearless. But who are these
little children that run and float beside the
travellers? They are the spirits of the muir"
dered innocents of Bethlehem, set free to fol-
low the infant Saviour, and knowing that
through him they have entered by the gate OF
death into eternal Joy. Three tiny ghosts IN
the rear have not yet felt his presence nor
caught sight of him, and the pain and terror
of mortality are heavy upon them. But ths
others are radiant and rejoicing as ransomed
souls; and at their feet rolls the river Of life.
breaking into shimmering bubbles In which
the glories of heaven are reflected. Joseph
does not see the spirits doubt whether even
Mary sees them clearly. But Jesus recognizes
his former playmates with Joy. He leans from
his mothers arms to greet them holding out
handful of wheat, the symbol of the bread OF
Heaven.
It is all mystical visionary, unreal? Or 10
it true picture to the eye of what faith be-
holds in the religion of Jesus? Surely It this
gospel has any meaning it is the bringing OF
light and blessing to the suffering little ones
of earth; deeper compassion and tenderer
care for them and the promises Of heaven
full of happy children. :5

walked out of ear shot, the admiral
numbering along in his wake. They coA-
suited together animatedly for a few
moments, the king smiling, not to say
grinning, if so unroyal word may BE-
used about majesty. Suddenly the old
admiral burst into roar of laughter.
He lifted his hand. and slapped i:

meant to clap him on the shoulder.

voice that could have been heard
