Sedulia, Mo, Feb, 2:.—An attempt to derail an eastbound fast passenger train on the Misssuri Pacific railroad, evidently for the purpose of robbery, was made at Otterville, twenty miles east of here, a rail having been re- moved. The bad place in the track was struck by an extra freight train from St. Louls. The freight was wrecked, the engineer, fireman and brakeman being seriously injured. The train that the wreckers evidently sought to catch was supposéd to carry considerable money. The wreckers had removed a rail on what is known as Otterville hill, a mile and a half east of Otterville, and built a fire between the tracks to bring the passenger train to a stand- Btill. The freight crew fafled to no- tice the fire until close upon it and too late to stop and the engine and seven cars were derailed and badly demolished. Three members of the crew were seriously injured. They were brought to the railroad hospital at Sedalia for treatment. Harriman May Be a Delegate. New York, Feb. 2.—Rumor has it that ¥. H. Harriman will be a dele- gate to the national Republican con- vention from Oswego. county, where his home is. Mr. Harriman was a delegate to the convention In 1904. Former Governor B. B. Odell, who, the rumor says, has invited Mr. Har- riman to become a candidate for the position of delegate, has refused to either afirm or deny the rumor. A Memory Test. A professor of mnemonics had gone to lecture at or near Canterbury. Aft- er the lecture was finished he had to wait for his London train. It was a most comfortless day, and he retired to an inn for shelter and refreshment. To pass the time he began to exhibit his feats of memory to the yokels in the inn parlor, and one and all were thunderstruck except the waiter. There is always one skeptic in every com- munion, Swhether of saints or sinners. Do what he would he could not miti- gate the acrid smile of acid incredulity of that glorified potman! In the midst of one of his most difficult feats the whistle sounded of the “Only train to London tonight!” and he rushed off to catch it. He caught it at the station, and his reputation caught it in the inn parlor, for the waiter, coming in with some ordered refreshments and find- ing him gone, pointed to the corner ‘where he had been sitting and exclaim- ed, “Silly ‘umbug, he’s forgot his um- brella!?’—Young Man. Juvenile Natural History. “Papa,” said Harry, infant phenom- enon, aged nine, “will you give me my pocket money in advance? I want to buy a book on moths.” “Certainly, my boy,” said the retired colonel. “Here’s a shilling for you. 1 am delighted that you should take such an interest in natural history.” That evening all the old colonel’s best friends came to dinner. “Now is my opportunity,” reflected the proud parent, “to show these peo- ple what a clever boy my son is. 1 shall have him in at dessert time!” So Harry came in with the pears and pineapple, and in loud tones the gal- lant colonel remarked: “Well, Harry, did you get your book on moths?” “Yes, papa,” answered his son.” “And what is it called?” pursued the delighted father. “Oh,” said the unsuspecting phenom enon, “it is entitled “Hints to Young Moth-ers!” "—London Ansyers, Too Much For General Butler. After the battle of Chickamauga an enthusiastic Confederate went about the streets of New Orfleans accosting every man who wore the blue with, “Didn’t Stonewall Jackson give you Dblazes at Chickamauga?’ General But- ler called the exultant Confederate be- fore him and told him he could either take the oath of allegiance or go to Ship island for two years. The Con- federate deliberated, but finally agreed to take the oath. When he had sworn to support the constitution, he turned to General Butler and exclaimed, “Now we are both loyal citizens, ain’t ‘we, general?”’ “Well, I trust so,” said General But- ler. “Then,” said the jubilant Confeder- ate, “I want to ask you if Stonewall Jackson didn’t give us blazes at Chick- amauga ?’—Argonaut. Terrapin In London. A smart American, one of the fresh kind, drifted into the Hotel Cecil in London with a party of five and or- defed with pomposity a la dos arrogant Americans, a la Parls: “Say, waiter, I want six portions of Maryland terra- pins, an’ I want ’em served with the bones. Do you understand?’ In three or four minutes the waiter reported, “Sir, we have the pleasure to serve terrapin with grand sherry, but nof with the bones.” “What in the mis- chief did you do with the bones?" “The bones? I will ask the cook If you wish.” “Never mind. We will have soras en brochette.”—New York Press. Extravagance. I heard a story lately of a high- lander who had been persuaded to buy a ticket for a raffle. He won the first prize, a bicycle, but on being told of his good fortune instead of hugging himself with delight he said: “Weel, that's just ma luck, buying two tickets whan yin wad ’a’ done. It's jist a sax- pence wasted.”—Dundee People’s Jour- nal. Force of Habit. “What are you in such a great hurry for?” “I am going to the funeral of my chief, and there is nothing he hates Nke unpunctuality.” — London Tele- graph. 3 Prevent the Slips. “A man who loves his kind forgives his brother’s slips.” “A man who loves his kind doesn’t have occasion to.

I was stroll- Ing along the sand, gathering a few.| Biells and pebbles, which I placed in iy handkerchief, when along came one of those old idiots who ask questions with their mouths which their eyes could answer. He smiled upon me and said: ‘Fine day, isn’t it? Are you gathering shells? “‘No,’ 1 snapped back, saying the first thing that popped into my mind; ‘I'm looking for a set of false teeth I lost while in bathing.’ “He expressed his sympathy, and then his face lit up as his eye caught sight of a pink and white object on the sand. ‘Well, I declare! Here they are now! he exclaimed, and, sure enough, he picked up a set of false teeth lying right at his feet. 1 was too surprised to do anything but grab them and put them in my pocket. The fun- ny part of it is that I never had a tooth pulled in my life. I wonder whom that false set Dbelongs to.”—Philadelphia Record. He Believed the Boy. A judge was explaining to a young student friend the intricacies of evl- dence. He illustrated well the case of conflicting evidence—how when the statements of two witnesses are op- posed the more probable statement is to be accepted. “Usually in conflicting evidence,” he said, “one statement is far more proba- ble than the other, so that we can de- cide easily which to believe. It is like the boy and the house hunter. A house hunter, getting off a train at a sub- urban station, said to a boy: “‘My boy, 1 am looking for Mr. Smithson’s new block of semidetached cottages. How far are they from here.’ “ ‘About a twenty minutes’ walk,’ the boy replied. “‘Twenty minutes!” exclaimed the house hunter. ‘Nonsense! The adver- tisement says five. “‘Well,” sald the boy, ‘you can be lieve me or you can believe the adver- tisement, but I ain’t tryin’ to make no sale’ "—Cincinnati Enquirer. A Dish of Tea. In reference to a note about a “dish of tea,” it may be mentioned that “dish” throughout the eighteenth cen- tury was a colloquialism for cup. In fashionable houses at first, and for long, tea was drunk from a cup with- out a handle brought from China. The vessel was termed a dish. When the Chinese cup was first copied by Eng- lish potters, the convenience of a han- dle was added. The saucer also was brought from China. It received the name because of Its resemblance to the English saucer, a platter in which sauce was served. The familiar gibe, “saucer eyes,” was originally inspired by the sauce saucer long before Lord Arlington gave the first ‘tea party in England in Arlington House, where Buckingham palace stands, at the Res- toration period.—London Chronicle. Destructive Music, A member of the board of directors of the Metropolitan Opera House tells 2 story that he had from one of the usiclans attached to the orchestra there. It appears that a friend of the wife of the musician had during a call on the latter inquired as to the hus- band’s taste in musical matters. Among other things she wanted to know what operas the musician liked best to play. “I don’t know much about dot,” said the better half, who was at the time busily engaged in darning an old shirt, “but I do know somet’ings.

For a feat of dexterity and nerve it would be difficult to surpass that of the Bosjesman of South Africa, who walks quietly up to a puff adder and deliberately sets his bare foot on its neck. In its struggles to escape and attempts to bite its assailant the poi- son gland secretes a large amount of the venom. This is just what the Bosjesman wants. Killing the snake, he eats the body and uses the poison for his arrows. Where Ma Was Strict. Little Girl-My mamma Is awful strict. Is yours? Little Boy—Orful.

Reading a Pig's Tai “Don’t buy that pig,” sai butcher hastily. “Why not?” asked the younger man. “Look at his tail,”” was the reply. “See how loose it hangs, like the tail of a rat. Thatis a sign that the ani- mal is in bad health. “You can read a pig's condition by its tall. The tighter it is curled the fitter 1S the pig. And when the tail the older hangs straight, as this one does, the | pig ought to take to-his bed and send lots in the town which will be sold on easy terms.
