The following story is going the
rounds at present concerning COnduc
tor Louis Kitzman of Winona and q
recent experience he had at Clare
mont, says The Winona Republican
and Herald. aI .saG
'ThoSe who have arrived at the
station to see their train pulling out
can imagine the feelings of Conduc'
tor Kitzman last evening when he
turned to see the last coach OF his
train fading into the evening mist
He had signaled the brakeman and
turned to speak a word to the agent
and the train noiselessly pulled away
Mr.. kitzman, however, remembered
some of the efforts of his early days
before he took to riding as business
and struck stride that would have
beaten the train to Owatonna by half
an hour. There was an instant's hesita-
ton as his watch slipped gracefully
from his pocket and went "plung" in.
to the icy snow, as he remembered
that the other watch he owned was
an Ingersoll,"@ and the railroad com
pany rather frowns upon that brand
of watches during cold weather. The
train, meanwhile, had been getting
speed, but the conductor with a no.
BILE squirt grabbed the hand rail OF
the last coach and pulled himself
onto the step. In the meantime
Agent Enteinan had been wildly wav'
ing signals to the engineer to stop,
back UP, explode, etc., and finally
one of the trainmen looked back and
the train came to a grinding stop
The conductor jumped off and limped
back to where he had lost his watch
which was found uninjured after a
short search. But--did he run after
the train this time? No, he stayed
where he was and made them back
UP to where he was standing and
then crawled slowly UP the step, with
his dignity (and his watch) fully re
stored" Louis Kitzman is one OF
the best fellows that ever lived. Al
present he is in charge of North

the fire is unknown but is supposed
to have been set by some tramp

Two of the barns were new and

In the cleaning, one by one,
| am idly stringing
thoughts like unto cleaning beads,
As each to me comes winging-
Sweet as birdling's tender tune
In the twilight singing.
SHINING some, as chaste as pearls,
Oh, such are fair to see!
trembling | string them on
Ny jeweled rosary
Thoughts. of love, and peace and
cheer,
Just as they come to me.
But alb anon, quick with pain
My startled heart is filed,
Grim remorse breaks through, alas,
Till every pulse is stilled--
Over sudden thoughts that rise
Of duties unfulflled.
For It's not so much our words
AS we live along;
Hard, unkind or bitter thoughts
Can never right a wrong
May such discords never jar
Ny rosary of song.
