From tho New York Press,
When Robert Burns died the follow
ing obituary appeared in tho Edin
burgh Advertiser of July 20, 1730: "On
tho 21st Inst., died at Dumfries, after
nn lingering illness, tho celebrated
Robert Burns. His poetical composi
tions, distinguished equally by the
forco of native humor, by tho warmth
nnd tho tenderness of passion, nnd by
tho glowing touches of a descriptive
pencil, will remain a lasting monument
of tho vigor nnd versatility of a mind
guided only by the lights of nature
and by the inspiration of genius. The
public to whoso amusement he nan eo
largely contributed, will learn with
regret that his extraordinary endow
ments were accompanied with fatnll
I ties which rendered them useless to
DANGER IN SODA,
.Serious Results Sometimes follow
Its Excessive Use..
Common soda Is nil right In Its place
nnd Indispensable In tho kitchen nnd
for cooking and washing purposes, but
It was never Intended for a medicine,
and people who use It as such will
some dny regret It.
We refer to the common uso of poda
to relievo heartburn or sour stomnch,
a habit which thousands of people prac
tice almost dally, and one which Is
fraught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worso and worse.
Tho soda nets as a mechanical irri
tant to the walls of tho stomach nnd
bowels and cases arc on record where
it accumulates In tho Intestines, caus
ing death by Inflammation or periton
itis. Dr. Harlaudson recommends as the
safest nnd surest cure for sour stom
ach (acid dyspepsia) nn cxcellant prep
aration sold by druggists under tho
name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Those tablets are large 20 grain loz
enges, very pleasant to tasto and con
tain tho natural acids, peptones and
digestive elements essential to good
digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest tho food perfectly and
promptly before it has time to ferment,
sour and poison tho blood and nervous
Bystcm.
Dr. Wuorth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach derangements and
finds them a certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they creato a healthy np
potlte, Increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the heart and liver. They
are not a cathartic, but Intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness
and will bo found reliable in any stom
ach trouble except cancer of the stom
nch. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at 50 cts. per package.
A little book describing all forms of
stomach weakness and their cure
mailed free by addressing the Stuart
Co. of Marshall, Mich.
himself nnd his family. Tho last
months of his short life were spent In
sickness and Indigence, and his .widow,
with five Infant children, and In the
hourly expectation of a sixth, Is now
left without any resource but what she
may hope from the regard duo to the
memory of her husband.
"Tho public are respectfully informed
that contributions for the wife and
family of tho lato Robert Burns (who
are left In circumstances of extreme
distress) will be received at the houses
of Sir William Forbes & Co., of Messr.i
Mansfield, Rnmsey & Co., the shops or
the Edinburgh booksellers. It is pro
posed to publish some time henco a
posthumous volume of the poetical re
mains of Robert Burns for tho bene
fit of the author's family; his friends
and acquaintances are requested to
transmit such poems nnd letters as
may happen to bo in their possession
to Alexander Cunningham, Writer,
George street, Edinburgh; or to John
Syme, esq., Ryeland, Dumfries. It is
hoped that, In tho meantime, none of
his original productions will be
comunlcated to tho public through tho
channel of newspapers or magazines,
so as to Injure tho sale of tho Intend
ed publication."
IIEK HUSIJAM) A MODEL.
And That Ho Wns So Caused nn
Awkward Question.
From tho Chicago Tribune.
It was at a woman's luncheon, and
they had been exchanging opinions In
regard to tiro husband question, both as
a whole and with particulars. By tho
time Ice cream was served the discus
sion had grown quite heated, and the
hostess was beginning to look anxious.
At the top of the table the woman In
the chiffon vest and her companion in
tlv3 fur-trimmed gown were at daggers
drawn.
"Well, I don't care what any one
pays, my husband Is as good as they
make them," said the woman in tho
chiffon dress excitedly. "He always
rocks mo to sleep when I have a sick
headache, and he gets breakfast when
the cook Is away, and ho always gets
up In the night if tho baby cries!" Sho
glared at the woman in the fur-trimmed
gown triumphantly, and sho In
turn glared back and took rrp the para
ble of speech.
"Will, my husband," she remarked,
with a strong accent upon the possess
ive case, "never does any of those
things; I should be sorry to see hhn
do any of them. I detest a man who
steps over into his wife's province.
But he always looks after tho furnace,
nnd I never have to worry about the
coal bill."
The woman In tho chiffon vest smiled
dlsagreeably.and the hostess was about
to Interpose when the pretty woman
nt the foot of tho table spoke up.
"My husband does all the thing you
have mentioned," sh'J said, sweetly,
"and a lot more. When wo have no
girl ho washes the dishes nnd sweeps,
and I'w never had to get dinner once
Blnce we've been married. I always
knew ho was going to be so lovely
that way, because he said so little
about it. I never had much faith in
tho rmn that talked so much. When
we were first married we talked about
it, nnd he spoke beautifully. 'I don't
say I'll always do It, Jennie,' ho bald,
tho first time I was without a girl;
'but I'll always li'elp.' And he's tVeri
belter than his werd right along. Last
night he even made the porridge, so- It
would bo ready for breakfast this
morning, and every morning1 he brings
mo a. cup of coffco before I get up." )
With tho smllo of a conscious con
queror Bho toyed with her menu enrd
and smiled sweetly at tho angry wo
man at tho other end of tho table.
Th'ey were speechless, but tho woman
in tho gold-rlmmed glasses, who sat In
tho middle, gave her a keen look nnd
smiled, too.
"Something has got to bo dono for
tho protection of us poor spinsters,"
she said, merrily, "and If anyone elso
tells a husbands story I shall retaliate
with a tale regarding a wonderful cat
which I possess. But, first, before wo
quit the subject, let mc usk a question.
How long," turning to tho pretty wo
man, "have you been married?"
Tho pretty woman blushed vividly.
"Nearly two weeks," sho stammered
out timidly, and tho other women
laughsd in tho unfeeling manner they
so often affect.

IT TAUdHT MM A GOOD LESSON
Predicament of a Night Operator nt a
Lonely ltiillrond Stnlion Who ilnd
llccn Evading tho Rules nnd Was
Instructed to Hold n Certain Train.
A Long Hour of Suspense.
Telegraph operators aro usually rem
iniscent fellows.and tho veterans among
them delight in telling their experien
ces. A New York Sun reporter chanced
to meet recently a veteran "key twist
er" who was for several years in tho
employ of a, railroad running through
Mnlno and New Hampshire anu up to
tho White mountains. Th'ls operator
sometimes found himself In a pretty
tiaht box. and his account of ono ex
pel ienco Illustrates tho close shaves
that railroad telegraphers have now
and then.
"Station II, where I worked," ho said,
"is a night staUon on a single-track
railroad in New Hampshire. G, tho
nearest night telegraph station north
of it, was eight miles away, and N, the
nearest one south, was twelve. My
duty In summer was solely that of oper
ator; In winter I also looked after tho
fires In tho waiting rooms. There- wns
seldom much operating to do at right,
and it was always easy to keep awuko
until 1 o'clock, when I usually nte
lunch. Even at that hour tho tlmo
didn't pns3 very slowly in summer, but
on cold and stormy nights In winter,
when I had to stay constantly Indoors,
the greatest effort wns needed to keep
from falling asleep. After 3 o'clock all
the trains that passed were freights,
and there were half a dozen south
bound and ns many more north bound
In the course of the night. Tt was p.irt
of my duty to no tho tlmo that each
cf the trains passo I my station and re
ptit It at once to headquarter1), nt A
the same ruile apr i ,n;r to nil the opera
tor s- on tho line. That was ono "f tho
vir-toms which runic It dansornas for
nn operator to :U. asleep, If only for
five minute-''. AnotUsr thhu that an
noyed him mil oi'U-n mads hlm swear

troir despatcher ;. A otl'.co 'fifty inll's
south of II) call.n? ca:h olllco on the
hi,1) every li'al! ho.ir, beginning with
U. one nearest lis own. The Mntitn
that failed to answer a roll fall had a
hlark mark place 1 nijalust it at A. with
a lecord of the tlniu when the call was
given. At first Mic ro'.1 call made nil tho
bo"s look sha.-p and toi the line, but
tliej eoon found : way to '.heat It.
CHEATING ?": ROLL CALL.
"The main wire running through II
WS3 considerably more th'an a hundred
miles long; and on a wire of that length
it is qulto Impossible for an operator,
nt its terminus to tell by the sound
which of two or more offices not more
than twenty-five miles apart Is doing
the telegraphing unless the sending op
erator signs his station call. Knowing
this, several of the 'owls' on tho line
arranged to take turn's with each other
in answering tho roll. For example, tho
operator at G would answer my calls
between the houri of 1 and 3, and I
would attend tojils from 3 to 5. What
a cracking good way this was to bat
He tho train dispatcher, wo thought,
and tho exchange of duty between us
was kept up for a long time; In fact,
almost too long, so far as my own case
was concerned. I rater to an Incident
that took place during the winter of
'83, which for a few hours nearly froze
tho marrow in my bones. It happened
like this:
"Through freight No. 2il,north bound,
was due at my station at 1.35, and was
scheduled to meet south-bound freight
No. 281 at P, fifteen miles further up
the road. No. 2)1 was scarcely ever be
hind time, and the two trains usually
met at P without requiring telegraphic
orders. Tho night in question was very
cold and stormy; fully three feet of
snow had fallen and It was still coming
down very fast, while a high wind was
piling It in big drifts across tho track.
On a nlgh't like that the incessant hum
ming of the wires outside the station Is
enough, of itself, to put a sentinel to
sleep, and that, coupled with tho hour,
1.13, and an olllco temperature of SO
degrees, was more than my weary
frame could resist. I fell asleep, know
ing of course, that G would according
to our arrangements, look after my roll
calls. After what seemed to mo about
Ilko twenty minutes, but what was
really more than two hours, I was
awakened by the sharp clicking of the
telegraph instrument near my head.
AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
" 'Qk 12' wns being made with great
rapidity, the call for my office pro
ceeding it. I knew it was tho train
despatcher, the abbreviation meaning
Quick! wo want you to hold a train!
"I answered the call, and the com
mand came back quick nnd sharp;
" 'Hold No. 241 for orders.'
" 'O. K.,' said I, nnd immediately
hung the proper signal, a red lantern,
outside the door,
"Then I camo to my senses and
looked at my watch.
"Twenty-five minutes past 3! And I
had heard no train in almost three
hours. Had No. 2U got past? I won
dered. I found that it had left N at
12.40, and the run from N toll usually
took about fifty minutes. I knew the
storm would probably delay tho train
somewhat, but two whole hours? It
wasn't likely. Then I heard No. 28 1
reported from P, and knew she had
received orders to meet No. 241 some
where between P and II,
"What if No, 211 had got by me and
was trying to reach P for the down
freight! In that case the two trains
wero bound to crash together in tho
storm; there was no help for it. My
excitement was Increased by tho re
pented calls of tho train despatcher to
ask If No, 241 was In sight.
lest my hopes were In vain.
"Threo thirty-five ,and no train. I
went out on the platform and listened.
Not a sound could bo heard aboo that
of the wind, and an engine's headlight
wouldn't havo been visible ten rods
away.
"I went back, 'grounded' ono of the
wires, so ns to cut out A office, and
called G, hoping to find whether No. 211
hud reached there. No answer. Then
I remembered that from a to G was
G'a tlmo to 'bunk .off,' and knew It
waa useless trying to get him.
"Ten minutes mor. nnd the freight
had not arrived,

"'Sure It hasn't gone?" asked tho
train despatcher excitedly, as though
doubting me.
" 'Sure, said I.
" 'For God's sake, don't let it get by
youl" ho urged.
ANXIOUS MOMENTS.
"Well, 4 o'clock came, and my cour
ngo was giving way. I could see how
two hours or bo might bo needed for n
freight to go twclvo miles on such a
night, 'but threo hours and over. So
slow a run hod never been known on
tho road.
"What was to bo done? To admit
my uncertainty meant tho loss of my
Job, and to brave it out any longer
seemed almost criminal. In my despair
I finally decided to tell tho train de
spatcher the plain truth, that I had
been asleep nt my post, and that No.
241 probably went by more than an
hour ngo. Tho fact would bo known
In a few hours anyway, I argued, nnd
I would then ibo arrested for causing
death, convicted of criminal negligence
nnd sent to prison.
"it was then 4.13. I drew a long
bret.th nnd went over to tho telegraph
desk. Headquarters was again calling
to ask if the train had arrived, and I
broko in abruptly:
" 'You may as well know that' but
the sentence was never finished. I
heard a faint putting and grating, and
looking out saw the engine of the be
lated train opposed my olllco window.
My heart leaped up about a foot, and
taking a firm grasp on the key of my
instrument T announced:
"'No. 241 h-e-r-o!'
"Deep snow, a terrific wind, and the
blowing out of a cylinder head on tho
engine had caused tho delay.
"Maybo all's well that ends well, but
that cxperlenco put an end, then and
there, to my practice of sleeping while
on duty."
Nothing Unusual.
