A RIDE ON THE PILOT.
Il Was Too Exciting Railroad Trip 20
Be Repeated.

Il Was Too Exciting Railroad Trip to
Be Repeated.
An eastern man was riding by rail
through the Rocky mountains. "A
friend had told him about riding on
the pilot Of the engine through some
grand mountain scenery. and the east
erner was eager to have the same ex-
perience. At the first opportunity,
therefore, he asked the conductor
whether his friends and he could ride
on the front Of the engine The con-
ductor very promptly said they could
not. Nothing but a permit from the
superintendent Of the line would en-
title any one to such a privilege. As
the superintendent was a thousand
miles away, it seemed hopeless case.
The easterner spoke Of his disap-
pointment to the Pullman conductor.
who told him that perhaps the affair
could be managed after all. Through
his diplomacy it was arranged some
how or other, and at the next station
four Of the party, including two ladies,
took their places on the pilot.
The scenery was some of the grand
est in the new world, but the easterner
could not enjoy it. The two slender
rails in front held his gaze with sort
Of horrible spell. He could not look
away from them. He felt almost the
same sense of insecurity and terror
that man would feel if he were sud-
denly whirled off into infinite space.
Suddenly, as the train rounded q
curve, he saw a hand car on the track
ahead. His companions saw it at the
same instant. A man stood beside it
and was making desperate efforts to
remove it from the rails. He got the
wheels off; then, as the engine bore
down upon him, he fed.
The engineer did not see the hand
car at once, he was at the moment
looking at his gauges. When he did
see it it was too late for him to check
look on.
The hand car was on the side of the
track nearest the man from the east.
He had an awful half minute. He
rose to his feet, not knowing what hc
did, and leaned far over in front of the
others. His eyes were riveted upon
the hand car. He saw nothing. realiz-
ed nothing except it's approach.
The engine struck the hand car with
terrific force, and the pilot lifted it
from the rails. 1t rolled up. ground
against the very place where the east
erner had been sitting, plowed a deep
groove In the ironwork and then top
pied over at the side Of the track.
The frightened engineer set the
brakes and brought the train to a
standstil. Not one of the party was
even touched, but they had had
enough riding on the pilot And, in
deed, it was the end Of such riding
for others. From that time all such
trips were strictly forbidden.
It was two years before the man
from the east could see a hand car
even standing harmlessly beside rail-
way track without turning faint and
dizzy.-Youth's Companion.

Some Odd Christian Names.

An appellant rejoicing in the curious
name of Rezia at the last sitting OF the
Somerset tribunal caused an inquiry
where he got it from. He replied from
the Bible, where it is only mentioned
once-I Chronicles vii. 80. There lived
for many years in the village Of Twer-
ton, Bath, one named Miah. He was
born twin, and his parents tEriftily
divided the predestined name of Jere-

Public Streets.

Under the Roman-Dutch civil law
the title to a public street was in the
sovereign, and this rule obtained in
New Netherlands until the country
now comprising New York city was
taken over by the English in 1864.
The English common law. on the
other hand, left the title to a public
street in the owner of the adjacent
land, with only "the right of passage
for the king and his people."-New

Authors Who Are Now Known Only
by Single Work or Passage.
Philip James Bailey wrote "Festus"
when he was twenty-three and lived
to be eighty-six without adding appre-
ciably to his early laurels. His ''Fes-
tus" was compared by enthusiastic ad-
mirers to the works of Shakespeare
and Goethe. No one reads s-Festus''
now, but its memory survives in one
familiar quotation, a one time favorite
for use in autograph albums:
We live In deeds, not years; in thoughts.
not breaths; sF1
In feelings, not in figures on a dial
We should count time by heart throbs
He most lives
Who thinks most. feels the noblest, acts
the best.
Bailey is very far from being the
only author to live in mems minds by
virtue Of single line, stanza or pas
sage. It is narrow margin by which
to escape oblivion, but it serves. True
it is not the writer himself that Is re
membered, but as long as some spark
from his brain still glimmers he is not
totally dead. 1t may be line from a
song. "Meet me by moonlight alone

BEGINNING MonGay, Jan. /, and un-
til further notice, we shall be compell-
ed to add 10 per cent to the total of
our laundry charges. The reason is
the constantly increasing cost of pro-
ductiOn.
We, in common with all other lines
of industry, are being subjected to
heavy increases in the cost of our
materials. We had hoped that some
of these advances were temporary,
and that we could bear the extra costs,
but the burden has grown too heavy.
During the past year these costs
have increased phenOmenally. The
cause for most of the increases is ii
rectly or Indirectly traceable to the
conditions of European shipping.
Practically everything we use has
been effected.
OUR 10 PER CENT ADVANCE Gov
ERS ONLY A PORTION OF
THESE ABNORMAL
COSTS.
Five cents will be added to so cent
bundle, six cents to 60 cent bundle,
etc. While this slight increase may
mean little to you, it will enable us to
maintain our quality of work and eff
ficient service until conditions again
become normal.

TODAY'S POEM
THE DRUM.

My Ned has gone. he's gone away,
he's gone way for good;
He's called, he's killed.
His and his drum lies in the rain
where they was stood,
Where they was stilled. ~
He was my soldier boy, my Ned.
Between these breasts he'd lay hist
head,
But now he's killed
My soldiers gone. His head lies now
Between two naked stones,
His drum is broke. n
There's none to mourn him to the
rain, only the rocks which
watch his bones;
Watch, watch and croak.
His great red hand is wasted bare,
That tapped his drum, that touched
my hair,
Hark! Not a stroke.
But what is this beside my heart that
sounds? ~
Tap, tap. tap, tap!
Oh, what is this that beats within IKE!
drunmers beating bounds
Rap upon rap?
What wonder have felt and heard
Is it the wing beats of a bird?
Tap, tap, tap, tap!
My boy is gone. yet near my hearti
another boy lies now.
j.. Though he be dumb.
He thumps my heart like soldiers
thump, he thumps a tow-rowr
To say he's c5nae,
A drummer boy, ali gaily dres't

Hark! There's his drum!
