store. When he heard the train COM
ing he aimed to cross the track and
get to the depot Eefore the ira n
pulled in. A string of box cars stand
ing on the side track between him
and the train hid the view of the ap-
preaching train. So just as Fred
made his first step to cross over the
track the cow-catcher struck him,
pulled him under the train and cut
him into; tore one arm all to pieces
from his elbow down, besides crush
ing his head almost to a pulp.

Cutting Loose From Care.
From the New York Mai


When a business man suffers from over
strain, or a student from overwork. some
times instead of taking to bed, he disap-
pears Suddenly he is missing. all trace
of him lost His family and friends In
varia bly, fear the worst. They imagine
he has met with accident and is lying
unconscious in a hospital or has parted
with his wits. and is confined In an asy-
lum. or has even taken his own life.
These things are all possible. but the
proba BILE thing is none OF them. The
probab thing is that the overwrought
man has yielded to a natural impulse and
instinctively has sought cure by be-
coming a wanderer for the time. He has
nut the cares of the old life behind
him, and with them the people that recall
the old life. and has given himself up
to the healing of the road. To drift with
no well defined object, to see strange
places and faces, ever to answer the
call of the Beyond, die ferne," as the
Germans cah it, is more than a dream
living somewhere In the back of every
mans mind, where it was lodged by some
ancestor of the nomad period. 1t is one
of natures own remedies for the wor-
ries of life.
For the man with great sorrow, for
the man with troubled conscience, for
the man whose nerves are not treating
him right, travel, change of scene, is
one of the things the wise physician will
prescribe. If IL be vertable tramp
afoot the cure will be speedier and more
complete. and may work physical regen-
Grafton into the bargain.

Mr.. Watterson closed with the conclud-
ing passage of the oration upon Abraham
Lincoln delivered by him in 1898 to the
Lincoln Union of Chicago. as follows:
Born as lowly as the Son of God in
howell; reared in penury, squalor. with
no gleam of light or fair surrounding
without graces actual or acquired; with
out name or fame or official training: il
was reserved for this strange being, late
in life, to be snatched from obscurity
raised to supreme command at supreme
moment, and intrusted with the destiny OF
d nation.
The great leaders Of his party, the
most experienced and accomplished public
men of the day, were made to stand
aside: were sent to the rear, while this
fantastic figure was led by unseen hands
TO the front and given the reins of power.
