Saved bY Twenty Coins.

The Americans were having war with France.
 The French soldiers had captured seventy Americans and put them in prison. One morning the prisoners were disturbed by a French officer and twenty French soldiers.
 The officer told the prisoners to fol- low him. He took them to the sea- shore with a lot of French soldiers.
 The prisoners lined up and the soI- diers shot them. Finally it came George Armstrong's turn to be shot. The French soldiers told him if he had any money to give it to them. He said he had twenty coins and he would throw them all around the ground and the French soldiers could run for them. He threw them in all directions and the soldiers forgot all about the prisoner and ran for the money While they were picking up the coins the prisoner ran away to the American camp.

How Piucky Girl Saved Her Chum.
 It was a hot June day. Helen and Gladys were playing on a large yacht that was anchored in the Hudson riv- CT. They were starting to go to the clubhouse by means of a passageway of small boats.
 Gladys stepped into the first boat and Helen started to follow, but slip ped and fell into the water. She could not swim and sank instantly. Gladys looked about her for her friend, but in vain. Just then Helen came to the surface; Gladys grabbed her and began to scream.
 nearby sailor who had heard her cries plunged into the water to her rescue. Though a fine swimmer, he made slow progress. both because of his clothing and because of the cur rent
 When he reached the yacht he found Gladys nearly exhausted and Helen unconscious. He lifted the helpless girl into the yacht. After Helen came too he rowed her over to the shore. He received a very good reward.

before each rider in turn, demanding

TRAINS DISPATCHED
 BY TELEPHONE NOW

The telephone train dispatching sys- tenn has now been in operation on the New Haven road from New Haven to Springfield for almost a year and has proven entirely satisfactory to both the dispatchers and the agents at stations The use of the te1e- graph which requires special and tech nical training has been done away with entirely and all train orders are now sent by word of mouth.
 A great convenience to conductors of trains is the fact that with the new system they can communicate direct with the dispatcher's office from a sid ing. Before. the only way they could get orders was through the nearest telegraph station.
 When the system was put into oper- ation, there was some objection from the telegraphers. who thought they saw in it a deep and dark plot to dis spense with their services and hire presumably for less money-agents who, though they could not use the telegraph key, could take orders over the telephone. During the time that the telephone system has been in op- eration, no telegrapher has been dis charged because it was put into opera ton.
