make amends for murderer that

But the peculiar thing about

great rarity. Murderers are COM

there can be recalled very few in
stances of victims of this greatest
of human calamities resorting to
snicide.
Indeed, it is seldom we hear of
victims of any really great calam-
tiles seeking relief in suicide.
1t is strange how, under the
really great sorrows, we bear up.
Strange how these actually give US
new strength not only to bear, but
to overcome.
1t is the little worries, the petty
woes that break US down.
We hear of suicides every day,
every hour almost, because of tenn

But of self destruction, or the
breaking of ihe spirit, in the face
of really great calamities, there are
very few instances either in the
daily news or in history.
Men and women innumerable

tions not only with serenity, but
with increased strength and sweet

it, now that we are fully started in
the year 1913, that the super

more weighted down with the

ing countries that the date is
fateful one. You can trace it in
France, where the minister post
pones the publication of the names
of a new Cabinet that the list may
not appear on the thirteenth of
the month.
You meet with it in Germany,
too. where even Bismarck would
rather sacrifice dinner than make
one of thirteen at table. Again
YOU can come across the same su-
perstitious terror in Switzerland,
in Italy, and in the Scandinavian
countries. You find it on the
stock exchange, and even in gay
cynical Paris it creeps out, when
a holiday starts on, the 18th, and
half the people stay shamefacedly
at home.
An English expert along statis-
tical lines has recently compiled
some valuable information on this
queer but interesting subject.
The superstition, traced back to
antiquity, is thought to have it's
foundation in all Scandinavian
countries in mythology. Their
ancient gods and goddesses appar-
emily loathed the number, but back
of that none can go.
AS for the reason in England,
two explanations are offered,
though probably not one person in
one thousand who cberishes the
delusion can really tell them. One
authority ascribes the whole tradi-
ton to the i'll luck thought to be
associated from the fact that thir-

Weather Signs.

II on picking up your newspaper in
the morning 1t displays tendency to
tear almost on it's own account, a
downpour of rain is not far of. Rain
is also presaged when the contents Of
a salt-cellar are in moist and cloggy
condition. At such times your boot
laces have a more than ordinary ten
dency to snap, and your kid gloves
will have a cold, clammy feeling and
be difficult to pull on.
Even the walking-stick or umbrella
will act the part of barometer. The
handles before rain will reveal a
slight deposit of moisture and be
sticky to the touch. In this way the
question whether IT is the wiser to
take a walking-stick or umbrella on
leaving home will be settled for the
observant person by an inspection Of
the articles themselves. - Glasgow

We can't afford to win the gain
That means another's loss;
We can't afford to miss the crown
BY stumbling at the cross.
We can't afford the laugh that finds
In bitter tears an end.
We can't afford the feast today
That brings tomorrow's fast;
We can't afford the farce that comes
To tragedy at last.
We can't afford to play with fire,
Or tempt serpent's bite;
We can't afford to think that sin
Brings any true delight.
We can't afford with serious heed
To treat the cynic's sneer;
We can't afford the wise mems words
To turn a careless ear;
We can't afford for hate to give
Like hatred in return;
We can't afford to feed a name
And make it fiercer burn.
We can't afford TO barter life
In mad exchange for death.

From thee, all-seeing Lord;

The things we can't afford!-Ex.

RAN FIRST PULLMAN
OLD CONDUCTOR TELLS OF
EPocH-MAKINc EVENT.
Cars Were Crude, and There Was Ne
General Enthusiasm over the New
Mode Of Trsvel--None Saw
Its Possibilities.

Fifty-six years ago last month j.
L. Barnes Of Chanute, Kan, was a
conductor on the first Pullman car
ever run in this country He made
the trip between Bloomington, ILL.,,
and Chicago on the night of Septem.
Der 1, 1857, and one of his passengers
was George M. Pullman, inventor Of
the sleeping car. Looking back
through 56 years, MIR. Barnes recalled
that Mr.. Pullman arose on the morn
ing of September with rather tired
feeling and somewhat doubtful as to
the. ultimate success of his invention.
Three other passengers who slept
that night in the first crude sleeper re-
strained any inclination they might
have felt to tender Mr.. Pullman an
ovation. In fact, II was rather a
weary company when it reached Chi
cago, and after a conference 1t was
decided by the passengers that nothing
would be gained by presenting Mr..
Pullman with a gold-headed cane in
recognition of his marvellous ingenu-
ity.
Mr. Barnes is seventy-eight years
old and it probably would be unfair
to visit him with the punishment to
which he is clearly entitled, but he
told how he stood idly by and per
mitted the first Pullman porter In
history to maltreat a passenger with
a whisk broom and collect the original
Pullman tip. He was a husky lad OF
twenty-five summers at that time and
his muscles we're in a good state of
preservation, but he did not interfere.
All, wasted youth
The first Pullman car in America
was run over the c. & A. railroad and
was built in the shops of the company
in Bloomington, ILL.,, under the direc-
ton of Mr.. Pullman himself. The
car was a remodeled day coach, and
there were but four compartments,
eight berths, four upper and four low
er. Then, as now, the lower berth en-
joyed a monopoly of public populari-
ty, and the upper berths were vacant
on that first memorable night. All
the passengers were from Blooming
ton and there we're no women on the

sleeping car. The people of Blooming
ton, little reckoning that history was
being made in their midst, did not
come down to the station to see the
Pullman cars premier. There was no
crowd, and the car, lighted by can
dies, moved away in solitary grand
eur, if such it might be called.
Mr.. Barnes described the first crude
car in his Office in Chanute. He re-
tired as division superintendent of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee railway
in 1910, after railroad service GOV.

Pullman conductor in 1857. Among
his other distinctions he was conductor
of the first train that left Kansas City
