Attest: H. R. KING, County Auditor. SHE HELD THE TRAIN. And Defied the Conductor to Make Her Get Out of the Way. “Before I came to this part of the country I was engineer on a railway down South,” said a railway man to a Chicago Times-Herald reporter. “We used to make a long run and we were pretty slow about.it. While on ‘shat line I remember one day whev we reached the junction station a wi man came up to me and asked me to hold a train for five minutes. She said that her daughter. wanted to tak the train to the city. I told her that if was impossib: for me to bold the tran for her. “FE dow.’t see why,’ she expostulated. ‘I think you might do a little thing like thas.’ “I triei to explain to her that ‘rains ran on ichedule time, and, like time and tid; wait for no man, or oman either, for that tatter, but she wouldn’: have it, and finally, just as we werg about to start, she sh uted indigna,.tly: “Weil, I'll just see about that” “I laughed, but socn I laugh. Sor what did that old woman do but get right on the track about three feat in front of the engine. She sat herself there, firmly grasping the | rails wich both hands. The conductor signallel for me to go ahead, as our stop was over. But I couldn’t do it as she retaained on the track, for f would kill hes certainly. I called to the con- ducto1, and he, impatient at the delay, came “tp. I explained the situation to him. He was as mad as I was, and going 1p to the woman told her to get off the track. “T just won’t,’ she replied ‘until my daughter gets or board your train.’ “He pleaded with her some more, and finally declared that he would be compeiled to use force, “Just you dare!’ she cried. you far damages if you do!” “This opened a new complication. and we reasoned with ourselves whether we had better remove her by force. Just as we had determined up-~ on a course of policy, her daughter came up, and seeing the old woman on the track, kissed her good-by and got on the train, while her mother called to her: “‘Go ahead, Mary Ann. You have plenty of time though, for 1 will sit on the track until you get on board.’ “And then, when Mary Ann was safely on board and we were about ready to run over the old woman if necessary she calmly and slowly got up and waved me a geud-vy, calling, as we pulled out of the station: ‘I hope I’ve teached you fellers a grain of perliteness.’” ‘TH sue Tbe Heat of Flowers. A Dutch naturalist in Java has made some remarkable observations on the increase of temperature which occurs in certain plants at the time of flower- ing. In one case the temperature in the flower was 21 degrees Fahrenheit above the temperature of the surround- ing air. All the plants in which this phenomenon has been observed are en- tomophilous; that is, those in which fertilization is effected by the aid of in- sects, and it has been suggested that the rise of temperature may serve to attract insects to the flowers.
