SAVED TRAIN AND VANISHED
Ragged Wanderer, Preserver of Many
Lives and Much Property, Man
of Modesty.

A few years ago tattered old
tramp, walking along the track on his
way to Waterbury, Conn, came upon
washout. The water main supply
ing the city of Waterbury had burst,
and the rushing water had cut a hole
through so feet of the roadbed.
He had no sooner made the discov-
cry than he heard the whistle of a To-
connective far away round the curve
Pulling off his ragged coat, he dashed
up the track in the direction of the
sound. Reaching the curve, he came
face to face with the train, which was
running at high speed. Standing be-
tween the rails, he waved his coat
frantically above his head and Jumped
aside just in time to escape the wheels
of the engine. The train shot by him
with roar, and he believed his warn
ing had not been seen. and that it was
rushing on to disaster.
But the engineer had seen him and
the next moment the force of the air
brakes threw the passengers from
their seats. AS soon as he saw the
train was safe the old tramp turned
and disappeared into the woods; and
though the railroad company made
vigorous search for him they were I'M
able to trace the vagrant w2o was the

ting the kitchen door open, where she
devoured all but the graniteware part
of a hree-pound crock of butter.
Her appetite still unappeased, she
also ate the fancy paper off the
shelves, and in so doing pulled down
all the tinware and scattered it about
the floor. She could not work the
combination on the icebox, so moved
on through the dining room into the
sitting room Mr.. Blank had the day
before purchased four new shirts at
$3.50 each, and these had been set
home and left lying in bundle on the
couch. She considered" these, ate
all but few fragments, and went on
her way She wrecked chairs, and
even a bed, and upset the contents Of
tables by pulling at and eating the
covers
When the family came back. late
that evening, an affectionate moo OF
welcome greeted them from the COW,
her head thrust through the parlor
window. Mr.. Blank said it took ten
men and a derrick to get that COW out
of the house, and the cost of repair
ing damages would purchase enough
milk and butter for the family for a
year. sans care" There's a COW for
sale. She's no longer the big hit in

WOULDN'T STAND FOR BLUFF
Railroad Yardmaster, Strictly in the
Right, Made Company Pay

When Frederick d. Underwood, the
president of the Erie railroad, was as
sistant yardmaster at Milwaukee, one
of his friends among the men was
badly injured No hospital was avail
able, and Underwood hurried him to a
hotel and told the proprietor that the
railroad would pay the bill He made
frequent visits to the invalid, and also
treasured him. When the man came
out short an arm and a leg bill Of
$1,000 was sent to Mr. Merrill. who
was then the general manager of the
Milwaukee road. Merrill was peppery
and inclined to domineering, and when
he saw the bill he asked in violent
language by whose authority it had
been incurred. Young Underwood was
brought in and lively scene followed
The general manager declared that
the company would never pay the bill
and finished with That ends it," &C
companied by a bang of his fist down
on the table that shook the chande-
