string of cars on the side track,
there being three tracks at 5hls
pace, the cars on the siding hid
ing the shifting engine which was
bHsy on the second track and also
hiding the occupants of the
buggy from tn, engineer. Just
as the engine was backing to the
CT ssing, m2ving with consider
able speed, Messrs Attaway and
BiadkHeld2r drove onto the middle
track, the h~rse having crossed,
the engine struck the buggy, de-
m1lished it and catching Mr..
Attawsy literally emitting his
body to pieces. Mr., Blackwelder
held to the reins and was not
killed outright, but was knocked
unconscious and was taken to the
b lspital with ali haste.
Mr.. A~ttaway's legs. feet and
hands were cut off and scattered
along the track AID his body was
dragged about fifty feet, while

lance farther.
Mr.. Attaway was we'll known

This thing of doing in Rome as the
Romans do is not always the best
plan, says the Popular Magazine. If
you don't believe it Miss Jane Adams,
the famous sociological worker of Chi
cago, will tell you story to prove it.
Miss Adams knew a wealthy wom-
an who delighted in doing works of
charity, such as sending missionaries
to foreign fields and on one occasion
she put up the money to send a mis-
sionary to the Caroline Islands. Soon
after his arrival on the scene Of his
activities the religious man sent his
benefactress a photograph of himself
and his wife.
Whereupon the rich woman wrote
the man of God a letter, suggesting
that his wife. in order to win the con-
fidence of the natives, should throw
away her fine clothes and wear the
costume of the islands. Two months
later she received this answer:
Enclosed is the complete costume
worn by native women. My wife
awaits further word from you before
adopting It,"
The native dress consisted of a
piece of woven straw, two inches wide
and eight inches long.

To the head of every family the

strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
