other day, for as they were spinning

about a quarter of one of the front
driving wheels broke out. The fly

holes in the boiler. but Fortunately not
through so as to let the steam escape.
The engineer was struck on the
shoulder but not disabled. The
brakes could not be used. but by shut
ting off the steam the train finally
came to 8. standstill, after sliding
about two miles. In the meantime
the humping and Earring was creating
commotion among the train men
and passengers. in fact, some started
for the door, but no one jumped.
The train stopped within sight of
Denison and the engineer and others
in about an hour fixed up the engine
so that it could slowly pull into town.
A freight train was due about the
same time and its engine took the
passenger train into Omaha. Engin-

Sea Roses.

The sea rose is leathery looking
creature which attaches itself to
stone at the bottom of the sea in its
infancy and ultimately attains n size
about three inches in length and an
inch and half In breadth. When
quiet and feeding under water its top
opens and blossoms into the semblance
of a large pink rose, with petals fully
an inch long, really handsome OBJ
ject. AS soon as it is disturbed, how
ever, it shuts itself resolutely into its

Marriage Customs In Savage Africa.


The charge which is sometimes
brought against white men of marry
ing for money" cannot be used against
their sex in Africa, for there 1t is the
other way about, husbands having to
purchase their wives. When man
has a wife bestowed upon him rs an
act of charity he feels that she is not
properly his own, and she, If she will,
can treat him with contempt. This
custom Of wife purchase, although it
is to be decried as tending to lower
marriage to the level of commercial
contract, is an incentive to young men
to work. Lazy youths cannot COM
pete with energetic ones in the matri-
monial market, as they are despised by
the young women and rejected by their
parents as being unworthy Of their
daughters.-Wide World Magazine.

It was not the kind of money she was used to, and she took t to her son, who was at the In dian school at Phoenix The latter piaced it in the bank, awaiting the call of the owner In the meantime aIr. Leayitt discovered that ne had made a mistake in writing the check, and began investigating He went to chi and asked the first Indian wo- man he met if she knew about the .clla It happened to be the one from
 whom ne had made the purchase, and she immediately dunned him for . cents, saying that the money he gave her was no good. From the mother he learned that his money

London.-From a letter just re ceived in this city from that advens ture-loving Irish girl, Beatrice Grim shaw, who writes stories of the South Seas, 1t appears that she has been enjoying herself lin her own peculiar way in and around New Guinea, which is to be the scene of the novel she is now writing. Her letter. which is dated from the Gulf of Papua is, in part, as follows:
 Day before yesterday we called at Goari-Bari, a notorious place, where Chalmers. the famous missionary, was eaten in 1902, and where terrible fracas with natives occurred in 1904, resulting not long afterward in the suicide of Gov. Robinson. It Is an island close to the mainland. Few white pedele have been there, and most of them were eaten-no one has ever stopped a night, and no white woman was ever there before myself. The governor, friend Of his, Col. An till, two missionaries, the governors secretary, myself and six armed police from Port Moresby (natives) were the landing party. The natives were ex- tremely excited and jumpy; nervous, one would say. They received us quiet Iy enough, and accepted presents of beads, etc, but when I and two oth- CTS were in one of the houses, they came and held up a joint of cooked human flesh before me, laughing. It looked horrid and smelt worse. think it was ribs.
 There was also 6 canoe full of skulls in the river, and many skulls in the houses. We were not attacked, however. and we walked all through the village, saw a general family sleeping house 190 yards long, divided into numberless compartments (the fat system, evident!y)-human bodies laid out in the branches of trees to decay, which is their method Of bur faI. and some strange images.
