town in England where resides an
aristOcratic family consisting of a

The lady'S wealthy brother had died
believing his sister to be amply bless
ed with worldly goods, he leaves his
fortune to the child of another sister

PENN SYSTEM To
PLAN FOR SAFETY
Elaborate safety First Cam
paign" is Put on BY Penn
SyIvania Railroad System.

NEW YORK. Dec 3O.-While in
all railroad operations the safety of
passengers is the first consideration,
the problem presented in protecting
employees in many respects are identi-
cal. and in safeguarding the latter,
the safety Of the public is also large
y secured
This statement made by S. c.
Long. general manager Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co. is the keynote
10 the "safety-first'' campaign that
the Pennsylvania lines have been car
rying on, not only with relation to
the general public but TO the welfare
of the employees themselves.
Another significant remark was
made recently by w. w. Atterbury,
vice-president of the Pennsylvania,
when he said:
''The problem Of safety is not al
together a question OF rules and their
enforcement. safety appliances and
their application. but the develop
ment OF inherent self-restraint and
control"
It is agreed that the greatest prob
lem the railroad has TO solve in is
efforts to conserve life is 10 find ways
10 protect those who viii not protect
themselves. passengers, tFeSpaSSerS
and employees continue 10 take
chances with death. and the railroad
IS throwing as many barriers as pos
sible in the way OF their rsking their
own lives, as we'll as the lives Of
others.
VIII Enforce Discipline.
Employees who Knowingly take
chances Of injuring or endangering
either themselves or their fellows are
disciplined now, even though no one
IS hurt.
To get at such cases surprise
tests of obedience to rules are con-
Quoted among all classes of railroad
employees. These are held at unex-
pected times and under unusual con-
ditions
Records OF tests made last year
give an excellent indication of the
support employees are giving the
safety movement. OF all the 1884,
715 tests reported. 99.S percent show
ed compliance with all rules. only
two-tenths OF one percent were care
less.

Make This and Try 1t
for Coughs
This Homemade Remedy has
no Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
- pint OF warm water, and stir for
minutes. Put pa ounces OF Pinex fifty
cents worthl in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take a teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything else
YOU ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. 1t
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is most valuable concen-
trated compound OF Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations viii not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty OF absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Fl Wayne, Ind

saw he would haze to waste several

PUTTING the Matter squareIy.

Ben Butler was once chairman Of a
meeting at which Rufus Choate was
booked for an address. Mr.. Choate
was about to begin his address when
a man crawled up to Butler, and whis-
pered to him that the joists in the
floor and the supporting beams were
giving way because of the heavy pres
sure on the floor, and they were like
ly to collapse any moment. Butler
turned to the man and whispered to
him: Keep quiet" Then turning to
the audience, he said: "A man has
brought me information that outside
of this hall there are not less than
twenty thousand people clamoring for
admission. l propose to adjourn this
meeting to the common, where all can
hear Mr.. Choate Now just see how
quickly we can empty this hall. "
Meanwhile Choate was tugging at But

Stop. Ben. Why, l can't see to read
on tie common; my voice won't carry
in the open air; can't make them

audience had left, Butler turned around
to Choate, and said: "Say, Choate,

here in this hall or in hell?"-San

HAD BEEN PRETTY
And Had Also Seen 35 Summers
When the Unexpected Pro-
poSal Came.
BY GEORGE MUNSON.

Miss Agatha Browne was thirty-tve
and looked older. She had been pretty
when she was a girl-that could easily
be seen from the regular contour OF
her face, her soft, clear skin, and the
gray eyes which even her detractors
allowed would be beautiful if she did
not hide them behind those hideous
round spectacle lenses. Miss Agatha
Browne was professor of economics at
Ledham seminary, which, as most
people know, receives only selected
girl pupils from among the first fami-
lies of the south.
Prof. Sampson Boylett instructed
the same select young ladies in Ro-
man history. He was forty-five and
looked his age. He was a short-sight-
ed bachelor who lived for his hobby,
the customs of the Romans. When he
was not thinking about them, he was
usually not thinking about anything.
When the professor passed Miss
Browne he was entirely oblivious OF
that fact II they met face to face in
an exceedingly narrow alley he would
discover an obstruction, slowly .alse
his short-sighted eyes until they fixed
themselves upon Miss Brownies spec
tacles, and then retreat hastily with
an apology and timid expression.
The select families of the south
were not so different, in their 1ndi-
vidual membership, from families that
flourish and die like mute, inglorious
wallfiowers. Some of the young ladies
Of Ledham seminary might have been

was not an uncommon thing to take
the initiative in the proposal of a mat

and hints failed to accomplish their
