The following beautiful piece is from the Telegraph Operator: "Baby is dead!" Three little words j passing along the line, copied fome where and soon forgotten. But ifter all was quiet again T leaned my head upon my hand and fell into deep rev eries of all that these words may mean. Somewhere a dainty form, still and cold, unclasped by mother's arms to night. Eyes that yesterday were bright and blue as the skies of June dropped to-night beneath white lids that no voice can ever raise again. Two soft hands, whose rose leaf fin gers were wont to wander lovingly around mother's neck and face, loosely holding white buds, quietly folded in coffined rest. Soft lips, yesterday rippling with laughter, sweet as woodland brook falls, gay as trill of forest bird, to-night unresponsive to kiss or call of love. A silent home—the patter of baby feet forever hushed—a cradle bed un pressed. Little shoes half worn— dainty garments—shoulder nots of blue to match those eyes of yesterday, folded with aching hearts away. A tiny mound, snow covered, in some quiet graveyard. A mother's groping touch, uneasy slumber, for the fair head that shall never rest upon her bosom. The low sob, the bitter tear, as broken dreams awake to sad reality. The hope of future years wrecked, like fair ships that suddenly go down in sight of land. The watchiog of other babies dim pled, laughing, strong, and this one gone! The present agony of grief, the future emptiness of heart, all held in those three little words, "Baby is dead." Thos. Gallager, accompanied by the Misses Mazie Gallagher and Flora Schlect, are spending a few days at Philadelphia and Washington, D. C. Railroad News, It is the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad system to give to the public, through the newspapers, prompt and accurate information concerning any accidents which may occur on its lines. Whenever an accident happens, a statement giving all essential facts will be made public by the Company at its general offices, in either Philadelphia or Pittsburg, according to whether the wreck is on the Lines East or West of Pittsburgh. Such statements will also be given out at offices of Division Sup erintendents, where inquiry ia likely to be made. Correspondents and edi tors of newspapers at intermediate points can obtain informatiou by com municating with the nearest Superin dent's Office of the General Offices. It must be obvious that upon occa sions of wrecks it is impracticable for miscellanous employes to give out in formation. They have specific duties to perform in caring for the passengers and in reopening the line to traffic. Weddings. Married at my residence May 19,1909, Reuben D. Baner and Katherine H. Pistl. Rev.

The proprietor of a certain Turkish hath establishment, seeing a strong looking young man working in a butcher's shop and being impressed by his magnificent muscles, told him to resign and take a rubber's position with him. "I'll give you more than you are get ting now," he said. The young butcher, resigning in good faith, turned up the next morning at the bath house.

Dutch Engagemants. A custom among the Imteh is the exchanging of engagement rings, which are narrow bands of plain gold, with the initials of the betrothed and the day of the betrothal engraved 011 the Inside. They are worn 011 the left hand before and 011 the right after marriage. Dutch engagements extend over a period of from two to five years. During this time thu young woman gives up all amusements in which her fiance does not participate. If lie is not of the dancing sort she refrains from that recreation, however much she may desire to engage in it.
