Chief Clerk Caldwell of the state bureau of inspection was at one time district claim agent for one of the rail- roads of the state. He was sent out to inspect 8 cattle guard where a COW had been killed. The owner said the COW was crossing the guard and was killed on the railroad right of way, while the engineer of the train that killed the animal said the accident had occurred on the highway cross ing.
 ''I took with me from a station near by blacksmith and farmer as wit nesses." said Caldwell, expecting to pay them two dollars each for their time and trouble. the customary price. It took half an hour to make our inspection, and when we returned to the village I asked the blacksmith what I should pay him.
 Well he said, I value my time in my shop at 80 cents an hour, and I have been gone half an hour. You owe me 15 cents.
 "The farmer looked at the black smith in contempt. "'You ain't goin' to git of with me so easy as that he declared "Tain't often us farmers git a chance to git even with railroad, an they're al ways, browbeatin' us. No, you can't settle with me fer 15 cents' Then, how much do you want?' asked. wondering what kind of g ; Tartar I had caught
 Well, you gotta pay me what want, or don't go to no court

Miss Matte. If she had a hobby, | was on the subject of brave men. That's why she had surreptitiously pur. chased and read the life of Captain Kidd, Buffalo Bill and other heroes. and longed to read of others. She had forgotten to ask young Gaynor If he was brave, and she was wondering if she hadn't made a mistake in saying yes too soon.
 As MT. Spencer lounged In his chair and related 1t. He was a hero at three years old. His mother had 4llen down the well, and he had untjez Che clothes line and heaved an end to her. At six he had saved the schoolma'am when terrible confagration reduced the school house to ashes.
 At nine years of age MT. Spencer had choked . mad dog to death and at twelve he had captured an escaped convict. So 1t went on up to the last year, when he had saved an ocean liner with & thousand passengers aboard by giving the captain needed advice in typhoon.
 He had got that far In his biography and Miss Matte had praised his cour. age over and over again, when MT. Gaynor arose and left. AS the door closed on him he gave the girl a look that would have made a three-sheet poster curl up. She knew what 1t meant, and she got rid of MT. Spencer as soon as possible and sat down to ;,Ir af joint. On the next evening he would return and inflict lecture. He would say this and say that, and if she were humble he'd bear on the harder.
 Humble? Not any! The time for lectures and humility was after mar. riage, and she wouldn't stand too much then. MT. Charles Gaynor must be made to understand that they were only engaged, and that engagements were broken every day. If he didn't like 1t that an entertaining liar should call upon her he must give his req, sons very gently or there would be | a row.
 Yas, Mir. Gaynor called the next eve ming. All day long he had been pre- pairing his lecture, and he was no sooner seated than he began to shoot it of. Before he reached the end he had made out that entertaining lia1 and applauding his yarns was a crime in the eyes of the law, and that de tective might be expected at the dooI any minute.

AS he walked out upon . bridge he saw the dark figure of a man bob up from between the ties in the middle of the structure and run quickly toward the opposite side. Abe ran after the man, seized him, and would have captured him but that another man appeared and beat him of. While these two were van ishing in the darkness Abe walked back to the middle of the bridge and there he found on 8 crosspiece un- der the ties a box with rope protrud- ing from it. He opened box. and in 1t found 39 sticks of dynamite. The rope was ten-foot fuse.
 And now down the line and out upon the bridge shone big electric head light of the special. Abe stepped aside with the box in his hands, the train thundered out upon the bridge and whisked by him while he lifted his cap And the reason why he lift ed his cap was because he knew that in a car of that train. little dream ing of the plots of anarchists or of any danger whatsoever, was the pres Ident of the United States.
 It Is not every trackwalker whe has had the honor of saving the life of a president, or at least of render. ing him so great service, but trudg- ing up and down their lonely beats, many patrolmen of the rails have saved thousands and thousands of lives of lesser persons. You in your overloaded Pullman berth, on stormy winter night rarely, if ever. give . thought to the man walking the road bed ahead of your train, facing the blizzard while his bright lantern gleams along the double row of rails, looking for loose platebolts, for track Instructions or whatever else might prove of danger in your swift flight through the darkness. But ahead of you there, safeguarding your way, the trackwalker tramps his cold, dismal beat, with wrench and oil can and Ian. tern, with alert eye and ready hand to repair, if 1t is in his power, what ever damage has been wrought by the clements or by the heavily grind ing wheels, and, If he cannot repair It, to set signals for the engineer and to summon the roadmaster and his gang.

When young Charles Gaynor rang the bell at No. FPS Chestnut street that balmy May evening he loved the whole world. In another five minutei Ie would see the maiden who had beer engaged to him all of two weeks. He had not seen her for 36 hours. and the time seemed 36 years.
 Within the five minutes Charles Gay. nor was saying good evening to Hattie Raynor, the young lady in question, but he had also dropped at least half his love for the world. There was caller before him-Guy Spencer. He had been there before him on several previous occasions, and MT Gaynor didn't ap prove of it. He wasn't quite so jeal ous now that he was engaged, but MT Spencer knew of the engagement, and why should he continue to come?

She had tantalized young Gaynor for months before she said yes to his ap peal, and the very next day, and on several other occasions, she had warn. ed him that she might change her mind.

 A Sheffield company successfully prosecuted two leading dealers in the United Kingdom for selling this imi. tation ware as "old Sheffield plate," and 1t has now been decided by the courts that the term "old Sheffield plate" means articles made from metal consisting of silver fused upon cop. per and not copper electroplated, and that any dealer applying the term "old Sheffield plate" to an article made in any other way than by the fusing process is guilty of fraudulent description and may be proceeded against.
 There Is any quantity of electro plate made which would be entitled to the name of "Sheff1eld plate." The de cisions of the courts referred to have particular reference to the term "old Sheffield plate," which today is the only safe description under which to buy plate if one expects to secure genuine examples of the old process.
