Four years ago I was telegraph operator at asmall | country station on a southwestern rail- ' road. ‘I had little to do, the | sent and received not averaging more | | than two a day, and those confined al- | most to railroad To enable ; me to leave the offi tached a large tin ¢ to the sounder | of my instrument so I could hear my | | call ‘Q,’ from any part of the village. | | When the south-bound train arrived at ; noon one Saturday I hurriedly commu- | nicated with the conductor, and leari- | ing that he had nothing to send I pre- pared to quit my oflice for the after- noon,.as no other train was due until 7 o’clock. Locking the door I went away, leaving the train standing at the depot, hot boxes detaining it longer than usual. Luckily I did not go be- yond ear-shot of my instrument, repair- ing to a field near by to witness a base- ballgame. I frequently left the office for hours, but always kept within hearing distance, the tin-cup sounder enabling me to distinguish my call several hun- dred feet away. Somehow I had mis- eninge on this occasion. I had an in- efinable dread of some impending trouble. I was so ill at ease that I took little interest in the game. I kept my ears open, expecting, for some reason { will not attempt to explain, to be ealled to the office. Before [had been absent ten minutes, and while the train still stood at the depot, I heard my fa- med to In- miliar call repeated in what s me unusual g stead of wal as was wy wont, I ran to the offi fast as I could, and heard as I enterec on. ‘Hold No. 4 at your ation until special going north passes.’ “Invoiun j ced out of the t ain I was or- around a w the disappear: window, anc dered to hold curve a short distance I was not told at what time the ecial left the station south, which was only ten nd I saw in my mind’s rapidly approschi ollowed by a ¢ id fiying debris. while tearing nce, that yard two away, ne two trains a other, quick] sereams of pain, Suddenly I rememb« nd cursing myn ad to stop % wood es down the road to tuke on fuel.

[ got with- in perhaps fifty yards of the now sta- tionary train when the engine whistle blew and the train started up. I re- doubled my efforts and came alongside the last car just as the train was get- ting under full headway. With a fall- ing side motion I threw my wheel inst the side of the car just forward of the platform, and grasped the hand- railas it came in reach, at the same | time letting go my hold on the bicycle. I caught the bell-cord and gave it one yagorous pull, and the train came toa halt, I gave the cord three jerks, the signal to back, and fainted. ‘The con- ductor found me where I had fallen. Suspecting something wrong, he per- mitted the train to back to the station, getting there just as the special, loaded with the directors of the road and their families, swung around the curve into the station. I had brain fever, and came near dying, not gaining my reas- | oning faculties for five weeks after my | terrible experience.

Stalking over to the group, he shook the little woman roughly and bade her get ready to go home. Without looking up, she said: “I knew it would break my heart if George took to drink again; but baby’s all right.” An insane mother, a dead baby, and drunken husband presented a sickening tablqau in the depot at midnight.—Car- cago News. ——___———o-—____ The Pencil Thief. There is no meaner thief than the lead-pencil thief. He takes rank be- low the umbrella snatcher. He never has a pencil, in sight. He asks for yours, ‘just a minute,” to sign a tele- graph book, address a card, and then with a business-like air sticks it into his pocket, knowing that nine times out of ten you will never think of the pencil until you want to use ityourself, and then he will be far ‘, playing his They are i of their petty back their coats nestling in a tell you We e thieving. ) to show yout in a vest hands >» mak not te a pen busines of hour of f the moon, at | l forest where lead pencil | Here we are, n, not a lead may be half midnight, in a lonely pl thrust through h robbed by 2 pencil to our ger could amily bad taste Sorry the place is not for and ¢ ure. you wish to buy?”’ ‘Not exactly, but know a gentle- man Who is looking for just such a place, and I volunteered to run about alitie for him.

He might just as well get $16,000. I see that your neichbors try to imitate your cur- tains. Ha! ha! Poor imitations!

By comparison of himself with others, by taking note of the points of agree- ment and the points of difference be- tween himself and others, the right- minded man learns to do his duty to his neighbor, while the wrong-minded man learns to take undue advantage of his neighbor. In common speech the first of these is called unselfish and the latter selfish, but the former term is wrongly used, since both courses of ac- tion, the good and the evil, alike sprin, from self. The good man does good because it gratifies him, pleases him, makes him happy to see others happy, and to know that he has been the means of making them so; while the bad man does evil because it pleases it jes debil, may debil ain’ in 2 an’ den especk fur vout am rais- nigh so sweet it yer gits outer de orch- w Traveler. —— + Henry Irving at Harvard. A good story and one as yet unpub- lished, was told of Henry Irving, the actor, at a recent dinner of Harvard al- umni at Buffalo. When the English actor visited Boston, President and Mrs. Eliot were among the spectators at his first performance, and inorder to do honor to the stranger, he was invited out to Harvard, shown all the college lions, and finally entertained at a luncheon to which a select party of dis- tinguished dous were bidden. “By the way, Mr. Irving,”’ said the president, with a praiseworthy desire to open the conversation upon 8 sub- ject of generall interest, ‘‘are you a university man?”’ “No, sir,’’ was the actor’s answer: then, as if he felt that his answer might be taken as in some way implying dis- respect for the college and colleges in general, he added, *‘but my business manager is.’’—Harper’s for June. a oo In many places on the Pacifiic coast his depraved nature to make others | they are now petting up what are call- miserable.

He went into*what isknown as the stuff chest—a large iron tank, in which a set of arms re- Wi repair some part of it.
