Last summer a charming young widow of Council Bluffs took a trip out west and while visiting friends in Colorado met a widower who was considerably fascinated by her. Among his assets were two small men, whose sharpness is considerably be- yond their years. They, as well as their father, liked the lady, but not well enough to want her for a mother, and their wishes in this regard had been spread upon the record by them in such shape that there was no chance for a misunderstanding. One day the program contained a carrlage ride through the Garden of the Gods. On the seat sat the lady and her admirer, on another the two boys, and on the third two lady friends, one of whom was strongly sus- pected by the boys of helping out their father’s designs on the hand of the widow. They accused the younger lady of complicity in the scheme during the ride, but the Im- peachment was met with a laughing denial. ““Well, boys,” said the widow, ‘‘what if she does want us to marry? You surely don’t think your father would think of such a thing, do you?" “‘Guess we do,” came the ready reply from one of the youngsters, “‘and pop means busi- ness, too—he's looked you up, and you don’t believe for a minute that he'd throw $75,000 in_cold cash over his shoulder, do you?" The subject was changed as soon as pos- sible, and late advices from the west indicate that on buggy rides in the future where any fair one s implicated, the westerner will either leave the boys at home or go armed with court plaster in large chunks. A Clerical Booze-Whirl, The musical volce of Rev. C. C. Hahn has been heard crying in the wilderness for the last month or two in one of the largest churches of the city, but it has cried its last cry, for the present,-at least. He came here from South Dakota some little while ago, recommended as a stralght forward young man, who was about to enter the ministry. He secured a_ situation as lay reader in the church already referred to. Little by little the fact has been leaking out that the flow- ing bowl has enticements for him that he cannot resist, and as soon as this reached the ears of the pastor of the church he was allowed to pass on. Yesterday morning the patrol wagon was called to the corner of Broadway and First street by a report that Rey.

A cross section of his breath was sliced off and marked “exhibit A" and will be trotted out for the Inspection of Judge McGee this morning. The laundries use Domestic soap.

Fox, «ntitled “President for One Hour.” 1t tells of a quick-witted boy who prevented a railroad collision by which many lives would inevitably have been lost A heavy cattle train had broken sections on a steep grade running “wild" in adva tions, Tom Martin, the hero of the story, telegraphed to have the track cleared of all other trains, and then proceeded to catch the runaway. Here is the story Then out of the gloom there came a steady volce; it seemed filled with an inspiration. It and the engine was of one of the sec- was an opportunity for the genius of a true ; and the man, or rather boy, was there, ready to prove his capacit The boy Tom spoke up: “All of you men get out and ofl the track—pour on ofl, put on grease, smear it with tallow, or anything! That will keep back the engine a littie—per- haps enough. After the engine has passed keep on with the work. Remember, we've got to Flynn's life—yes, and save the cattle, too Jus then the ticket men hurrying about, had come downstairs and asked the trouble. As briefly as he could, Tom t:1d him the situation, and then said: “Mr. Lenox, I'm going to climb into the runaway ible thing, and check her up. Take_it, and if I'm hurt give it to my mother. Teli her I was going to get her a Christmas pres- ent, and tell her I know that she would tell me to do just what I'm g ing to do. God bless her! If I come out all right—and there is a chance—don’t ever let her know what I did Promise, quick!” Before going out Tom took off his well worn overcoat and jacket, tightened up his belt and prepared to run the race of his life. He then went out to the platform and found that the men had oiled the track thoroughly for several hundred yards. He did not dare tell them of his purpose for fear that they would stop him, but he said to Bob: “After the engine passes get all the men you can at work—more are coming every minute—put on all the ol you can, and tallow, but be agent, hearing the careful to see that there is nothing to make the cars jump the track, for that will kil all the cattle and horses, and perhaps poor Jack Flynn! He was seen clinging to the last car at Rockville. But he dared not climb up or jump off, it seems, on account of the speed of the train. There she comes now—I can hear her! I'll run up to the other end of the platform to meet her.” The engine could be heard thundering down the track long before she could be seen com- ing through the fog. Tom was at the far end of the depot, where the men had first begun to apply the oil and grease; and, as they had worked back, he was in a position to get all the benefit of the loss of speed in consequence. The men flew back from the track. When the engine struck the oiled rails she trembled, and her wheels slipped rather than revolved along the track. The momentum was so great that at first the speed was scarcely affected, but as suc- cessive sections of track were passed there began to be quite a marked reduction in speed. Tom noticed this with joy. The engine was coming rapidly toward him. He turned and ran along the platform in the same direction as the engine, at a speed that would have carried him fifty yards in about six seconds, The engine gained on him, and, just as the step was passing, he reached up, grasped the handles, and swung himselt up on the step. He rested there for a few seconds, and then climbed slowly up into the cab. His face was as white as the card on the steam gauge, and, in spite of the cold wind that blew upon him, he was dripping with per- splration. The author then describes Tom's effort to get up the steam, which was almost ex- hausted, and the final appearance, through the fog, of the broken section coming after him like a whirlwind. A tangent* of twelve miles away straight before him, with a gently descending grade, then a mile level, and then a_four-mile up- grade into Mount Vernon. Once more he crept down into the tender, opened wide the turnace doors, raked the fire, and threw in the coal evenly over every part of the great firebox. He loft the ashpit door open for better draft, and then climbed upon the coal to see if he could distinguish his relentless pursuer. The light had begun to dispel the fog, and 300 feet away he could see the on- coming traln. “It will take all the speed she's got,” he thought, and leaving the tender he crept back into the cab, He opened the throttle wide, pushing the lever over forward as far as it would go. The steam kept up, and the only thing to fear was that the axle box would get heated on account of the frightful speed of the engine, but then he reflected that the pace would tell on the frelght axles even more, since they were not geared to so high a speed as were those of the locomotive. The engine was now going at the rate of a mile a minute, or faster. More coal was necessary, and he resolved o leave the win- dow and stand by the furnace. In ten min- utes the level was struck and the pursuer had gained two hundred feet, on account of its greater weight; a minute later the up- grade was reached. More coal was needed and the shovel was kept busy feeding the flery mouth whose tongue of flame seemed never to be satisfied. As the engine began the ascent of the up-grade the freight section was only fifty feet away. After a mile on the grade, the locomotive pulled slowly away from the freight, Then Tom closed the ash- pit door, went back to the window, closed the throttle a little, tried the air brakes and three minutes later pulled into the depot at Mount Vernon, and came to a stop. He looked out of the window, perched high in the air, and said to the operator: ‘‘Just wire Wayville that engine 303 has arrived bere safely, and that Tom's all right.”” Stub Ends of Thought, Detroit Free Press: It lsn't how much a man loves a woman that wins her; it is how much she loves him.

LONDON, Jan. 2.—The Sporting Life says | that it is quite probable that there will be a big contest this summer between Oxford, Cambridge, Yale and Harvard. The Sporting Life describes the New York Athletic club chalienge to the London Athletic club as “sportsmanlike in the extreme, showing plainly that real business and business only is meant.” The secretary of the London Athletic club, in reply to an inquiry made on behalf of the Associated press as to the statement of the Chronicle that the London Athletic club has accepted the chalienge of the New York Athlegic club, says that the challenge from New York has not yet been formally ac- cepted. Negotations between the two clubs are still in progress, and the situation of affairs i tly as exclusively outlined by the / 1 press Decomber 31, namely, that the main difficulty seems to be that the challenge, being an open one, no date is given, and the London Athletic club being engaged in several important meetings before June, cannot spare its best men before that time, and therefore it is not thought possible that a team will be sent over before late in the summer. of th | th du! ca pri in KO tic n An the | ne the | I INTERNAT Tr be Cu t th au tee as ma in o of th h th inc ele Un tee b in ize ne: ad Nice Long Shot Wins at Bay District.
