A GOOD, OLD AGE.

A good, old age Is a beautiful sight.
and there is nothing earthly that is as
noble-ln my eyes at least. And so !
have often thought a ship is a fine objpct
when II comes into port with all OF its
sails set from a long voyage Many
thousand miles it has come, with the sun
for guidance and the sea for its path; and
the waves that might have been its grave,
a thousand fathoms deep, have yielded
1t ready way, and the winds that might
have been its wreck have been its serv-
ice. 1t has come from another meridian
than ours. 1t has come hv reefs and
banks that have been washed Tor cehtur-
les by the restless waves, but not plank
has started nor one timber in ii did
prove rotten. And now it has come like
an answer to the prayers of many hearts
"a delight to the owner, a Joy TO many
a sailors home, and a pleasure to all
ashore that see it. 1t has been steered
over the ocean, and has been piloted
through dangers and now it is safe. But
still more interesting than this IS a good
life as it approaches its thee score years
and ten. 1t began in the century before
the present; has lasted on through storms
and sunshine; and it has been guarded
against MANY rock on which the ship
wreck of good conscience might have
been made.
When man once passes the thirtieth
mile post and has loved no good woman,
he has lost the best chance Of his life for
happiness, and the sooner he calls halt
and thinks it over, the better for him.

Passing the elevators the mice
looked inquisitively into the doors OF

ensued. Women ran for liberty, men
doubled up with laughter. and, it is
said, burly policeman, brave in the

felt entirely safe.
The mice finally left tine building

Yardmaster Stops Train With
Two Hundred Passengers
a Yard From Disaster.

Two hundred passengers from New
Orleans are recounting to-day the mar
row escape they had from a bad rail-
road accident averted by one mans
presence Of mind.
When their train, the Atlanta and
West Point passenger, due in Atlanta
from New Orleans at 1920 o'clock last
night. was brought to such a sudden
stop at Oakland City that they were
thrown in confusion and terror from
their seats, only three feet separated
them from a freight wreck into which
they were saved from crashing by the
prompt action of Yard Conductor II. E.
Jones
While the crew of the freight train
which had been wrecked only a few
minutes before, were running about in
excitement, Jones was Mortified by the
thought of the fast New Orleans train,
heavily laden with passengers, which
was due at that time.
As he frantically grabbed lantern
he heard the whistle and the rumble of
the speeding train. He had only time
to run few rods before the dazzling
headlight shot from around a curve
and shone full in his eyes.
He stood his ground In the centar
of the tracks waving his lantern wildly
Although it was not the red lantern
usually used in tagging trains when
there is danger ahead, the engineer
recognized that something was the
matter. He closed the throttle and an
piled the air at the same instant. There
was a grinding of brakes and a shower
of sparks from the wheels as Jones
stepped from the tracks.
The train rushed past him. For a
moment it looked as though his warn
ing had been too late and the passen-
ger train would pile up on the wreck
age ahead Of it, But when the engi-
neer stepped down from his cab to find
the meaning of the black mass of
wreckage ahead of him and the twink
ling of lanterns of the train crew who
were scurrying about in futile haste. he
saw how narrow was the margin that
had saved him and the passengers in
his care from death and injury
Just three feet was the distance be-
tween the pilot of his engine and the
freight train which had been stalled in
a peculiar wreck
Central of Georgia switch engine
pulled out of Atlanta with a string of
so cars bound for the East Point yards
about 10 O'Clock. The train had reach
ed Oakland City when a confusion of
signals led the engineer to throw on the
emergency brakes. They worked so
we'll and brought the train to such
sudden stop that the seven rear cars
piled up on those ahead and covered
the right of way with wreckage.
