ONE DISMAL FAILURE. About the most dismal lalluie that I tan recall In the way ot a sp-elal train," continued the ollklal from the quiet cit, "was suited tiom Jcimj Cltj fcome years back. At mat time thete was considerable speculation as to how far a ttaln could be lun with out stopping for coal or water The government was desirous of making contracts for the tiansportatlon of mall, and we tnauguiated the limited express trains for Its benefit To de velop still better service the Idea of continuous runs was dlntussea at Rteat lensth in railroad did s The tanks holding water In the mid dle of the tineks had pioved a Rieat success, and the mutter of stopping tor water hnil been done awaj with.

The plan was to have the engineer go to the end of the divis ion he was famlllai with, diop tiff, and an enEineei that knew the division thev weie enteilnir thoioughlv take chat se i:vei j thing passed off smooth ly on the New York division, and the tlnu made was .something remaikable As we passed tluough Philadelphia the weathei -beaten englncei left us and the new man grasped the throttle fin his i.ue against time to Ilanisbuig, the othei tei minus of the division. "Out near Run Muui, a piettv su buib of Philadelphia, our special was simply shatteiing space ami eveivbody was offeiins; congiatulntions and pit., dieting that lecords would be made that would stand for jears. A little defect then developed in the oil tube tunning to the uxle box on one of the cars, and Charley Douglass, one ot the brightest jount" men In the employ of our company, grasped the handle alongside the steps and, leaning far over, endeavored to repair the break. At the moment Douglass was deeply engiossed In his work the special dash ed mound a shoit turve, nnd the next Instant poor Chaile's head came In contact with a milk stand alongside the track. He never know what struck hltn, as his death was Instantaneous As the body wns flushed fiom the steps I pulled the bell coid, and nfter i mi ning a quarter of a mile the tialn stopped nnd backed up to whoio the lemalns lay. ' Evoiybody knewDougln?s well, ami It took the beau out of every one on that tialn. The object of the special was lost as u, stop had been made, but foi the rest of the nin to Pittsburg the different enulneeis made iccords that if your children are well but not robust, they need Scott's Emulsion of Cod liver Oil. We are constantly in re ceipt of reports from par ents who give their children the emulsion every fall for a month or two. It keeps them well and strong all winter. It prevents their taking cold. Your doctor will confirm this. The oil combined with the hypophosphites is a splen did food tonic. voc. nd Ji.oo, all druggist. SCOTT & IIOVVNE, ChftnUn, New Yotfc stood for sovernl years.

CHASED I1Y WILD CAHS "I can recall a inn mnde by n speclnl tialn about tluee vents ago," said a meinbei of the group, whose load winds In nnd out of the l.ehlgh eonl region, "that comes Into my mind without the leist tumble to my think ing nppaiattis. The special was mufle up of an engine und two cms, ami the distance covered was onlv ten milts, but, although no record was kept of the tlnu- made I am positive It was a u eord-bi taker for the distance "Wo had been up In the mining le gion Inspecting the load, and weie le turuitig ilown the hill at nn easv rale. As we ileal ed u little teleKini'ti ollite stuck In the side of the mountain nut ongincei noticed the oung operator running toward the special like a wild I man, The engineer lost no tune in pulling up to meet him, and wns more than f lightened when he called out. " 'Threw loaded coal cars have-broken loose up neni the mine and ate coining down the hill like h ; pull out for Sldell for mir life!' "While otllclnlB aie averse to having their emploves use profanity while on duty, I doubt if elthei one of us ever thought of the bleach fit the lules bj the little opeiator.
