reached the curve that begins almost from
the west end of the viaduct. The hollow
sounding board of the gorge was echoing
crescendo of clicking rail joints and whirl-

til the man ahead resumed his shutting
journey If he should awake!
Something lay on the girder just in front
of the sleepwalker; and at last he stopped
and picked it up. As he turned to come
back the engine rounded the curve and took
the bridge. The full glare of the headlight
broke on the men like the sun out of mid
night. Ostling threw his hands in front of
his face and reeled, but Holt was upon him.
Throwing his arms around his friends
shoulders, Holt steaded him for moment;
then, kicking his feet from under him, he
pulled him down, and pinned him to the
narrow girder. Just as Holt Topped upon
the PROSTATE form, shrek broke from the
whistle almost at their ears. Ostling stiffen-
ed his body in an effort to free himself from
the burden, but Holt chung desperately to
the girder and held the man down. There
was rush of air, cloud of binding, suffo-
eating smoke, a hail of cinders-and the
train had passed. Holt heard the man un-
der him gasp and sputter.

Ostling stopped suddenly. '..Why," he
acclaimed in establishment examining some
thing that he held in his hand, "What

Holt chuckled. 'That, my boy, is the

'Say,' he said, with an expression of
good natured raillery on his face, "I've

The First Rose of Summer

AS the first flush that paints the eastern sky
Is fairer than the fullness of the day;
AS the first robins cheeping on the spray
The full chorus of the woods outvie;
AS the first fringed glance-veiled and shy
The Auttering of nascent love betray
In terms more plain than all that words
might say.
And deeper stir the soul-we know not why,
So thou, First Rose of Summer, in thy bloom
More rapture to the spirit dost impart
Than all the radiant color and perfume
Of all thy kindred in the flower mart.
Though soon to pass forever to thy doom,
Thou hast the wealth of summer in thine
heart.-Winona Caroline Martin.

The Weather Trust is Q. X.

When the storm is done
And the big round sun
Maketh the clouds and the shadows run;
When the path is dry
And the bright blue sky
Is gladstone sight to the anxious eye.
When the lowing herds
And the merry birds
Are uttering gladness, devoid of words;
When all nature sings
And the rustling wings
Of the dove and the quail in the thicket
brings
Sweet thoughts of rest
To the weary breast
AS night calm steals Ger the golden
West.
Then we wonder why
When the storm drew nigh
We had e'er complained at the gloomy
sky.
There was nought to fear,
Though the clouds were near
The sky would again be bright and clear.
Storms never can last,
For the fercest blast
Gives way to shine when the shade i:
passed.
So when life is Ger
On this earthly shore,
-
no more.
So never again
Should we e'er complain,
For the glimmerlng sun and the gloomy
rain
Are all 10 the plan
For the good of man
As he plods along in his life's brief span
Selected.

Lord Northcliffe, the English journal
list and publisher, likes and respects the
hustle and get-up which he found char
acteristic of Americans. Speaking of this
quality on one occasion in Washington, he
related the following bit of conversation
which he happened to overhear on train.
81 come from Ashton" said one man.
"Finest little town in the middle West"
''Ashton?" asked the other, rather sheer
ingly. 81 don't think much of that
place."
''Don't like Ashton!" the first exclaim-
ed in surprise. "Why, man, when were
you there last?''
"About two weeks ago."
"Well," said the proud citizen of Ash
ton, "you ought to see her now"
-Hubby:-"But why should l get my
life insuredi am quite healthy. and ten
to one I'll outlive you.'
Wifey:-''There you 60 again! Always
looking on the gloomy side"
-."I understand he swears great DEAL"
81 wouldn't say that exactly. But
would say that in the heat of passion he
finds it impossible to con6ne himself to
tut! rut' "
He was a mine-sweeper, and, home on
leave, and was feeling a bit groggy. He
called to see doctor, who examined him
thoroughly.
''You're troubled with your throat, you
say?" said the doctor.
"Aye, aye, SIR said the sailor.
''Have you ever tried gargling it with
salt and waterl'' asked the doctor.
The mine sweeper groaned.
81 should say SOL" he said. '1've been
torpedo seven times!'

The Fast NIGHT Freight

Deep-throated blasts from lungs of steel,
The clanking drawbacks rack,
From brazen bell resonant peal,
Rings warning down the track.
A beam of light swings. ''highball'' fair,
''Pull out, we're in the clear;''
Sings sobbing, moaning of the air
''Brakes safe, no cause to fear.'
Amidst a maze of switch-lights red,
Shines safety signal green;
Dim shapes of cars lurch fast ahead,
Back sprayed by drifting steam.
Whistles two, answers lanterns bright,
Now flashing in the rain,
The fast freight roars on thro' the night,
The brakeman walk the train.
From center to engine and rear,
Two crouching figures tread,
A rocking path with death so near,
To earn their daily bread.
Watchful. alert, and unafraid,
They work till duty's done;
Times call-boy wakes them undismayed,
To make their last lone run.
The Railroad Trainman.

Courage

Courage is but word, and yet, of words,
The only sentinel of permanence;
Laws give it not, before it prayer will blush,
Hope has it not, nor pride of being true.
IT'S the mysterious soul which never yields,
But hales US on and on to breast the rush
Of all the fortunes we may happen through.
And when death calls across his shadowy
fields
Dying, it answers: ''Here! am not dead. -

All taxpayers are called upon by In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper to
help round up tax slackers' who have
not made return to revenue collectors.
In a nationwide drive against delin-
quents the commissioner expects to
gather millions of dollars as taxes.
"AIl delinquents will be promptly and
vigorously prosecuted" said the COM
missioner in a statement There IL no
difference between the Stacker in mill
tary service and the Stacker from tax
duty. Both. in effect. are disloyal to
their government.
At the same time the commissioner
suggested that persons who neglected
fulfill their duty now may avoid the
usual penalties and danger Of prosecu-
ton.
!, The most important thing in taxa
tion," he said. "is equity In distributing
the tax burden. It Is difficult to con-
ceive that any one should endeavor to
escape his share OF the levy made for
the prosecution of a war In defense of
Christian civilization. It IL the duty of
