A KINCLY MIND.

~ AANO11 Iu1NDs
One of the bravest men who eve
lived died in Des Moines recently.
In the year 1874 N. F. Miller, then
mail clerk on the Burlington road
passed through direful wreck.
In a collision he was thrown to thu
door Of the mail car, and a redhot
stove fell over on his face. Wedged
in by the furniture, he was unable to
move. One ear was burned or and
an eyeball destroyed, while the flesh
and bones of one side of the face were
roasted and his brain scared. It seems
incredible, but it was an hour before
Miller was extricated.
When the doctors finally got to him
one remarked: ''All we can do is to re-
lieve him. He cannot live"
Whereupon Miller retorted, II will
live longer than you DOCTORS" And he

He lay in the hospital for two years
and suffered many delicate operations,
refusing all anaesthetics.
The great surgeon Of his time, Faen-
ger, who became interested in Miller's
case. performed many Of the opera
tons, making only nominal charge
for fees that otherwise would have
been enormous.
For two years the church bells in the
vicinity OF the hospital did not ring
because Of Miller's delicate condition.
He returned to his mail car and serv-
ed twelve years. Finally, recognizing
his injuries and service, congress Gre
ated the position Of superintendent Of
mails at Des Moines and gave Mr.. MIL

years is marvel

erly declined to exercise the functions
of senator by sufferance in spite of
the admitted fact that the legislature
had willed the seat which he was des-
ignated to occupy temporarily. Mr..
Smith could not deny that the seat
had been filled. but he advanced the
ingenious theory that knowledge OF
that action could properly be withheld
from the senate by the device of not
forwarding official notice of it to
Washington. In other words, Mr..
Smith. as governor. purposed nullify-
ing the effect of the election for six
months or longer by sequestering the
