Eastbound Coaches and Westbound
Freight Collide on Puget Sound.
Seattle.-Three trainmen were killed
near haywood on the Northern Pa

extra freight crashed together on a
curve.
The three victims of the collision
are: w. E. Slower, engineer of No. 6,
40 years old, who leaves a wife in
Seattle; Paul Glud, % years old, of
Seattle, his fireman, who also leaves
a wife; L. P. Kurtz OF Tacoma, engi-

slightly injured. None of the passen.
gers was hurt.
The passenger train had orders to
meet the extra freight at haywood.
Instead Of waiting there the train ran
beyond, and, climbing the mountain at
about 20 miles an hour, crashed head
on into the westbound freight, coming
down at about rs miles an hour. The
crash came on 10-degree curve at a
point where the grade is one per cent.
The engineers, owing to the curve,
were unable to see each others train
in time to avert the accident
The three engines were badly dam
aged. Ten freight cars are in the
ditch and the baggage car of the pas
senger train suffered damage. The
passenger coaches were not injured

The Souvenir Francois has placed q

memorate Nine. Juliette Dodu There
was large assembly, as was fitting
for the occasion, inasmuch as the lady
played an important part at the time
of the war with Germany. She had
charge Of the telegraph office at Pithi-
viers, and hid the machines during the
day, pretending they had been seized.
At night she brought them out and
succeeded in tapping the wires over
which the German communications
were passing. The information thus
received she communicated to General
d'Aurelie de Paladines. She was dis
covered, brought before a court-mar-
tial and Rentenced to death. The
kaiser's father, though not approving
Nine. Dodu's act. could not help adj
miring her patriotism, and through
his representations she was pardoned.

Riding the combers.

As the very strongest man in the
world Is a weakling In the grasp of a
good-sized comber, such waves must
be outwitted, not outwrestled. And,
to be at home in the breakers, even
beyond your depth, 1t Is only neces-
sary to know what a wave really Is
and where 1t is weak. Many people
believe their eyes, and are sure that
wave travels. The water moves up
and down, and the motion forward,
but the water doesn't travel. Conse-
quently, II you get beyond the break
ers, the waves will go up and down
and carry you with them. but won't
sweep you forward.
Near the shore the waves behave
differently; they curl over the break,
and there the water, as well as the
motion. travels. And, II you are just
at the curling-point, the water will
pick you up and sweep you in. and
you can literally ride the waves, than
which there Is no finer sport in the
sea- But woe unto you II you get a
bit ahead of the curling waterfront,
for then you will be turned over and
twisted around and flung to the bot
TOM
Hence, 1t Is wise to experiment with
little waves first and learn just where
they do break and just where they
actually commence to exert a forward
movement on your body before test
ing your swimming powers in the
surf.-Woman's Home Companion.

Praise and ENCOURAGEMENT.

In helping to train a family of FIVE
boys l had the greatest difficulty in
culcating an idea Of politeness or even
the necessity for 1t. ooh, what's the
use" l heard where l had been par
ticularly emphatic in insisting on good
manners.
Their father was a polite man
exceedingly easy and polished In his
bearing, and they associated with the
children Of the best families in town
All this proved unavailing.
One day l was looking out Of my
window and CHANGED to see one of the
younger boys. eight years old, put his
hand to his cap as some ladies passed
him. confidently believed 1t acct
dental. but spoke OF 1t casually, let
ting him think l believed he did so
habitually. 1t was the same when he
came into my sitting room and took
OF his hat to fan with! noticed his
politeness-saying how pleased l was
at his thoughtfulness, and there was
never any more trouble on that score.

meaning and . distinction which 1t
never had had before, daily expert
ence in the practical side of his work
was ever more and more impressing
upon him the sovran fact OF his pro-
fession that "the proud mission OF the
physician Is distinctly twofold, name
ly. to alleviate human suffering as
we'll as to preserve human life."
To man of Simpsons sensitive ma
ture. this truth made a constant ap-
peal. And yet how little. hitherto, had
the profession been able to do to
realize It, especially In relation to the
department to which his life-work was
now directed. and where some realiza-
ton Of 1t was. perhaps. most OF all to
be desired! To nobody, therefore, was
the first whisper Of the good news Of
the discovery of an anaesthetic that
could relieve suffering more welcome
that to Professor Simpson
The year 1916 is the date of the
discovery Of the fact that "by inhal-
Ing sulphuric ether"-fthe genesis OF
chloroform)-"the generality of indi.
viduals may be rendered insensible to
pain" This discovery was made by
DR.. Morton Of Boston News of the
discovery which, SO far, however. had
only been applied In America to den
tai surgery, very soon reached Eng
land, where Its merits were eagerly
discussed. Its great value was imme.
diately proven by various experiments,
Simpson among others estimating It
highly, and, as likely-when applied
to other departments of surgery and
when certain elements of danger to
life were eliminated from the specific
to become an anodyne of wonderful
efficacy. How far and in what precise
form 1t could be made SO was the
problem that Simpson at once set to
work upon. and for this undertaking
he was probably one OF the best
equipped medicos at the time In Great
Britain.

COMPETING WITH A DENTIST
Jonathan Drew Of Indiana Was Sorry
That He Tried to Extract
His Tooth,

Jonathan Drew, who resides in In

other day.
Jonathan developed toothache
that made him sit up and take notice
He tried various remedies without
avail and finally went to the dentist
Jonathan asked the dentist how much
he would charge to yank the aching
molar, and the dentist told Jonathan
90 cents, which was his regular rate.

an aching tooth pulled, so he tried

in his hand.
That evening the molar got down to
business In earnest. Jonathan walked
the floor In agony-and he stepped
lively. too. At last he could stand the
exquisite pain no longer, SO he tied
one end Of piece of picture wire to
the tooth and the other end to a stone
weighing about five pounds.
Then he stood before a window
with his mouth open and his eyes
shut, counted three and threw the
stone-which went through the win

Jonathan is now suffering not only

the long and notable list OF dis
coverers in the domain of medical
science-those who have done
much to reduce the sum of human
suffering during the past fifty or
sixty years-there are two outstand-
Ing names that will always command
special measure of the gratitude Of
the world. namely, Sir James Young
Simpson for his achievement in the
field Of anaesthetics, and Lord Lister
for the successful application Of his
system Of antiseptics to surgery.
More. perhaps. than any others in a
century Of medical advance along
various lines, both discoveries have
practically revolutionized the old med
ical formulate and made obsolete for
ever the ancient dictum that physical
pain was an absolutely necessary part
OF the human lot, to be borne as best
1t may, and. in the pathetic phrase OF
Robert Burns. without remeid!" II
is, however, with Simpson that we are
mainly concerned at present, since
the centenary Of his birth has recent
ly occurred. This took place at Bath
gate, Scotland. an unpretentious town
between Edinburgh and Glasgow. His
parents, David Simpson and Mary
Jarvey, were, II in humble way of
