been the custom Of the mail men and
train crews of No. IL to jump off the
train at Quincy and get cup Of cof-
fee and lunch during the wait. The
mail agent, whose name it was impos
sible to learn, jumped from the train
before it had come to stop, and lost
his footing Just as he struck the plat
form.
AS soon as he struck the platform
he STARTED to roll, and such was his
momentum that he was under the
cars and directly across the tracks in
less time than it takes to tell 1t. Mr.
Joseph was standing near, having
called the train and gone out to assist
in the proper handling of the crowds
and Immediately saw that quick ac-
ton would be necessary in order to
save the mans life. He saw that It
would be impossible for him to stoop
and pull the man from the track, since
the steps Of the train in that case
would strike him aad both would be
crushed beneath the wheels.
Realizing that whatever was done
for the man would have to be done
quickly. Mr.. Joseph threw himself
face downward along the track Reach,
ing out his hands he grabbed the
man by the neck and pulled him out
from under the train, saving him from
being badly crushed, if not killed.
Mr.. Joseph's position alongside the
track was also one of great danger,
inasmuch as the suction created by
the fast moving train is enough to
draw a man under the wheels.
AS soon as Mr. Joseph arose he no.
ticed that the left leg OF his trousers
| was cut, as was also his undercloth-
ing Investigation disclosed the fact
| that his left knee was badly bruised
and cut and II speedily began to pain
! him. He was compelled to 90 to his
home, where the wound was bandag-
| ed. He was at work as usual after
dinner, although he was still limping.
| He is receiving many congratulations
upon his bravery and presence OF
mind, all OF which are deserved II

who will risk his own life for a

ROSY AS A GIRL

Summit, N. C.-In letter receiv-
ed from this place, Mr.. j. w Church,
the notary public, says: Ny wife
had been ailing for nearly twelve
years, from female ailments, and at
times, was unable to leave the house.
She suffered agony with her side and
back We tried physicians for years,
without relief. After these treat
ments all failed, she took Cardui, and
gained in weight at once. Now she
is red and rosy as a school girl.
Cardu, as tonic for women has
brought remarkable results. 1t re-
lieves pain and misery and is the
ideal tonic for young and old. Try it,.

VETERANS HAVE A BANQUET.
Attorney Homer Greene Says He
Believes in Peace.


Patriotism and Politics were hap
PLY blended in the after-dinner
speeches delivered Friday night at
the annual "camp fire" of Captain
James Ham Post No. 1913, G. A. R.,
Department of Pennsylvania, which
was held in Freedom Hall with a
goodly number of the glorious COM
pany of veterans of the Civil war and
invited guests in attendance.
The early part of the evening was
taken up with the enjoyment of an
elaborate banquet served under the
direction of the Captain James Ham
Circle, No. 76, Mrs. William Clark
president.
Commander Judge Henry Wilson
was at his best as toastmaster, and
introduced the post-prandial orators
in his usual happy vein.
Homer Greene, Esq, who is al
ways an honored guest at the cele-
brations of the veterans, was the
first speaker of the evening Mr..
Greene prefaced his remarks by say
ing he didn't know when he had had
such a busy time in the past thirty
five years as this Summer and Fall.
He spoke of his efforts in trying to
AAANfAS VIZ NOAhAh5 al AhOlJ
memorable event, and said among
other things:
II feel it's right to maintain a
military company here. When we
consider what it cost in blood and
treasure to organize and keep the
government, we are not ready to
give up our soldiery. 1 believe in
peace. All nations should be at
peace. l don't believe the time has
come when we can let the soldier go.
With Theodore Roosevelt, l believe
in holding the peaceful hand out,
but keeping the big stick ready"
Mr.. Greene paused in his remarks
to invite the young ladies, who had
been serving the dinner to enter the
banquet hall, declaring that they
were entitled to hear everything
that was said, and when they re-
sponded to his invitation, he said:
Il didn't know that l could make a
speech this evening. But l know
that / can now.
Il have heard orators talk on the
platform" he exclaimed, when I've
heard the country praised and BOOM
ed, and the country decried and de-
famed, but do you know through 1t
all it's been done in the name of a
party?
IT'S the country we got to think
OF and not so much the men. If
these men who spend their time in
trying to teach men, would instill
into their minds something of the
principles of the government as firm
as the everlasting hills, what it
means in terms of liberty and glory
to be an American citizen-instead
of crying stop thief" would try to
instill the idea OIL patriotism that
looks behind the platform back to

Have you seen the Peary relic
display in Murray Company's win

pondence and effort upon the part of
Murray Company, this enterprising
firm has been successful in procur-
ing some of the things which were
used upon Commodore Peary's trip
to the North Pole. The display is
unique and contains the following
articles: Sled, spear, harpoon, two
rifles, snow shoes, besides a metal
sheathed sign, walrus skull, narwal
bone. The shoes were Peary's per-
sonal property; the sled is one of
those used in relaying supplies on
the trip from the ship to the pole
and the other articles were used
at different times by members of the
expedition. Commodore Peary car
