Runaway Locomotives.
"Wild engine? Well, yea; I hve
6een a tew in my dy, said n old en
gineer to a writer. The subject kaJ been
brought up by the discussion of the rcu
liar actions of a runaway engine. The
engineer in question settled himself com
fortably in hi, chair, put hia feet on the
Uble, bit off the end of a Perfecto hand
ed him by the reporter, lighted it, and,
w ith keen reliah. exhaled a cloud of
emoke. After several puffs on the fra
grant weed he began :
"Yon see, I have been engineering cow
for 28 years, and in that time I have seen
many curious acciJonts, many narrow
escapes and many .horrible deaths, but"
and he looked at the lighted end of
the 25 center in a meditative way "that
is neither here nor there."
You wish to bear some wild engine
stories. There are few of these stories to
tell, as these accidents happen but sel
dom and are becoming less frequent with
each day.
"The first one that I knew of happened
just after the St. Louis & San Francisco
road was built. I was at Canon City
with my train. On the track ahead of
me stood a freight train, which was on
the side track.
"The engineer and fireman left the en
gine to get orders. Without warning the
locomotive started backward. The switch
had been left open- The men on the
train saw it coming and scattered.
"The engine demolished the first three
box cars and was badly damaged so
badly damaged that a careful examina
tion failed to determine what has caused
the runaway.
"I will tell about another accident
nearer home, which happened about nine
years ago on the Shore line division.
Engine No. 27 as standing at East Lou
isville. The fireman and engineer were
in the office. he was headed toward
Anchorage.
"Suddenly and without warning the
wheels began to spin around. For an in
stant the old machine stood still, then
w ith a snort leaped forward like a spir
ited horee that had suddenly freed itself
from the rein. I was standing near the
end of the depot farthest from the en
gine. My fireman had up , full head of
steam on No. 107.
"I waved to him and he brought her
tip. I boarded without her being slowed
op. We threw the throttle w ide open,
and Bill filled the furnace. Then began
a race that I ill never forget. The en
gineer of the runaway and the operator
stood on the platform, with mouths wide
open, stai ing in astonishment at the van
ishing engine.
"As I passed them for an instant my
heart stopped beating. Catching my
breath, I turned to yell to the oierator,
but he was too far behind. I turned
and looked at No. 27. She seemed to be
going faster and faster and faster. I look
ed at Bill. His fitee was pale as death.
"Our eves met, and he muttered No
1.' I nodded my head and turned away.
My old horse was rolling from side to
side. For an instant I stood aghast as I
thought what would happen when No. 1
and the wild engine met I was startled
uy a mumed voice : "ASy Uod, we must
do it,' and turning saw Bill working
away like a maniac at the furnace.
"I eased np on the lever, pulled out the
throttle to the last notch, and the iron
horse seemed a thing of life s it leaped
forward in answer. We could feel her
pulse throb and beat, and her breath
came snort and thick, as, like a thorough
bred race horse, she strained every nerve
and muscle to overtake that steaming,
nying, tireless machine ahead.
"Our faces were set and determined as
we worked to save the lives of those on
the fast train, which was thundering to
its doom to certain death and destruct
ion unless we stopped that engine.
"Clifton. Gait's, Cresent Hill had been
passed. On we thundered, gaining slow
ly bat surely on the crary machine in
front.
"When we passed the operator on our
mad ride he stood for some seconds talk
ing with the deserted engineer, w hen, re-n-.embering
No. 1, he rushed to his in
strument She must be stopped at Anch
orage. He dropped helplessly in the
chair when the words came back . 'No.l
Just pulled out'
"We were going 60 miles an hour.
What was to be done I did not know.
2Co. 1 was almost due. We lived a year
in the nest few minutes. As we strug
gled up the grade to Ormeby's we gained
perceptibly on the flying runaway.
"There is a long side tnu k there. I
heard the whistle of No. 1 as she passed
Lakeland, and my heart stood still. Three
more minutes and we would see men and
women crushed, mangled and scalded,
nd probably burned. My God ! how I
suffered and prayed for the help that
came. A section gang were working
near the switch. They had left it open.
"When we were heard thundering
along the boss started for the switch. As
he reached it the runaway dashed into
the switch. He turned it and we dash
ed by on the main track. The wild en
pine for an instant spun along on the
wheels of one side, and I prayed that it
might turn completely over.
"My prayers were not answered. As
it settled back we came abreast of it-
Bill leaped for his and hundreds of other
lives. It was a breathless moment He
caught ith one hand to the handle of
the cab and swung for one breathless
second and then mounted into the cab.
I leaked forward, and again my hair rose
on end and my heart ceased to beat, for
within a few hundred yards around the
carve thundered the fast train. I revers
ed my engine and waited.
"She seemed to rise in the air like a
spirited steed checked while at full speed
by the cruel curb. Strapping to eo for
ward, 6he swayed from side to side, the
wheels spinning backward, while the
momentum carried her forward. The
fast train still came on.
"Bill had reversed and his engine was
tearing herself to pieces in a made effort
to reach the main track but a short dis
tance ahead. I breathed freer as my old
favorite began to move for the engineer
of the passenger had reversed. We still
got nearer, but I was going so rapidly
and the other so slowly when we touched
that hardly a jar was felt
"The runaway w as at a standstill a few
feet from the switch, with Bill in a dead
faint in the bottom of the cab. We got
back to Louisville, and I was taken down
with brain fever, from which I recovered
after a long struggle. So ended my last
experience with with engines."
A Cure for Paralysis.
Frank Cornelius, of Purcel, Ind. Ter,
says: " I induced Mr. Pinaon, whose wife
had paralysis in the face, to buy a bottle
of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. To their
great surprise before the bottle had all
been used she was a great deal better.
Her face had been drawn to one side ;
but the Pain Balm relieved all pain and
soreness and the mouth assumed its nat
ural shape." It is also a certain cure for
rheumatism, lame back, sprains, swell
ings and lameness. 50 cent bottles for

Death of Wild Animals
The circumstances that attend the ill
ness and death of wild animals are perhaps
less well known than any other part of
their history. Yet when we consider
that animal life, though in some species
of great duration, is naturally brief and
liable to an infinite ol accidents withont
remedy and sndden dangers unforeseen,
the subject of the last days of the nobler
sorts of boasts has a cetain pathetic inter
est No doubt all animals, from the
healthy and natural lives they lead have
strange powers of self cure in case of acci
dent Those whose profession it is to
prepare the skeletons of wild beasts,
large and saall, for museums and labor
atories speak with surprise of the number
of injuries and fractures weich the bones
exhibit, but which have set themselves
in a rough but effective fashion.
Bui the "chapter of accidents" in
animal life spares none, from the stags
which die w ith horns locked together
on the mountain side to the
locosU which impale themselves
upon the barbed wire of the
Transvaal farms, or the cicales which
rend their wings upon the thorns of the
mimosa. Death violence seems to be the
rule in the lower forms of animal life,
except in the case of sudnen plagues or
changes of season. Only to the largest
qurdrupedslhas human fancy conceded
the boon of a natural and perhaps pain
less death, and the remote, untrodden
jungie, w here the elephants go to die lies
still among thej "undiscovered coun
tries." London Sjed(itor.

Dr. Edward Everett Hale's triubute to
Dr. Holmes in the Boston Common
wealth : Dr. Holmes has the pleasure of
knowing what is thought of some of his
work by the generations after that for
which it was first written. It is Lard to
think of a man, still as young as he is,
born ouly seventeen years after Shelley.
This generation is celebrating Shelley's
centennial as if he belonged to the past
But we all count Dr. Holmes as pre
eminently belonging to our own time.
The writer of these lines could not but
notice, in a recent visit to England, how
Dr. Holmes has attained there a form of
success which in his lecture on Dr. Watts
he spoke of as most desirable. To be the
writer of the hymns of a great people
makes a poet sure that his words are on
the lips and in the hearts of thousands
who know no poetry but hymns. He is
loved and thanked, year after year,
generation after generation, by thouands,
in the ecd by millions, among whom are
many w ho know no joy of literature but
that it gives them their poetry on Sunday
In the hymn books of the Church of
England and of the Nonconformists,
both of the evangelical and of the more
bold communions, are the hymns of our
own poet He has won that recognition
in ail homes which he has described as
a reward so grateful.
He is one of us, here in Boston. He
has mourned when we lamented ; he has
led us in our joys. In the great trial of
the Nation he was one of those who led
the Nation. In our own home pleasures
we meet Lim every day and rejoice in
his health, as we ask for his smile and
sym pathy. We would-

Surely he shows, from day to day, that it
is still his own.

Unmistakable Symptoms.
I had stopped for the night at a house
overlooking the Cumbeland River near

I had taken a seat on the front porch and
was talking with the owner of the house,

"Is the young lady who waited on the

shortland desltory colloquy on the crops.
"Yes ; purty likely gal, ain't she?" he
answered with a fatherly pride,
"Very handsome, much more so than

"Do you know much about gals?" he
inquired, almost in a whisper.
"Some little by observation. I've

"Did you notice anything out of the

"Not that I can recall."
"Didn't notice that she w as kinder for

"No."
"Ner quiet like, without much to say

"I noticed she didn't talk much."
"Her hain't," he corroborated, "for a

had a wanderin' in her mind, did she?"
"No."
"Ner a bankerin' after something that

"No."
"That's odd you didn't," he said, with
a puzzled expression ; "ma and the old

"What do yon think is the matter?"
"We aint right sure," he whispered,

The Mind About Exhausted.
With fizure swathed in white cloth
and face covered with lather it was diifi
cult to form a correct notion of the ap
pearance of the man who occupied the
fi rat chair in the corner bai bt r shop. To
the most casual observer it was obvious
that the man in the first chair was labor
ing under intense excitement He was
breathing in short gasps, his bosom hear
ed under the white towels and his hands
nervously clutched the cushion seat
"Fine dav."
The barber was whetting his razor and
gazing vacantly into space. The bosom
under the white towel betrayed new agi
tation, but the man in tie first chair
made no audible comment.
"Going to the Exposition?"
The convulsive twitching of facial mus
cles was noticeable through the lather.
The lips worked violently, but no sound
escaped them.
"How's your folks?"
"See here."
The man in the first chair Lad jerked
himself into an upright position.
"See here, I say."
His manner was positively ferocious
and the barber was transfixed with con
sternation.
"You've shaved me for twenty-five
years, hain't you?" demanded the man.
The barber gulped and nodded feebly.
"Asked more than ten million ques
tions in that time?"
" Er I er guess.''
The barber stammered and looked un
comfortable "Yes, you've asked as many as that

Dairy and Creamery.
"If the cow could talk we doubt not
that she would be beard all over the

In every case some of the butter fat in
milk is lost w hether the milk is skimmed
or separated. Personal care and exact
ness must be the factor to make this loss
as small aj possible.

Old English Meadow.
Probably there a.e no meadows in the
world so good as those in England or so
old. Yet from the early Anglo-Saxon
times old meadow has been distinguished
from "pastures" and Las always been
scarce. Two-thirds of what is now es
tablished meadow land still shows the
a ark s of ridge and furrow, and from the
great time required to make a meadow
ten years at least on the best land, a hun
dred on the worst men have always
been reluctant to break up old pasture.
The ancient meadows, with their great
trees and close, rich turf, are the sole
portion of the earth's surface which mod
ern agriculture respects and leaves in
peace. Hence the excellence of the
meadows of England and the envy of the
American. London Sdator.
Days Chosen by Suicides.
Years ago the great apostle of pessim
ism noticed that June was the favorite
month for marrying and committing sui
cide. As he thought one was as bad as
the other, it seems evident that he be
lieves one cause would account for the
frequency of both occurrences in "the
month of leaves and roses." Whether
such is the fact or not, it is certain that
there are generally more suicides in June
than during any other month of the
year, and few of them are committed on
rainy or what are known as dark and
unpleasant days.

A School-Room Champion.
It was a pretty tough crowd of boys
that attended the white schoolhcuse at
Farnsworth Corners in the winter time.
I was a fair sample, and I was such a bad
boy that I had been sent away from
home and placed in care of my uncle at
the Corners because father couldn't man
age me. By dint of repeated strappings
Uncle George kept me in respectable
bounds and got a good deal of work out
of me around the farm.
I must have been about fifteen years
old the winter that Miss Angle Arnold
came to teach in that district As I think
of it now I realize that she must have
been a pretty little thing w ith her big
blue eyes and wavy brown hair. But we
farmer boys had no regard for beauty,
and the trouble we made that poor young
thing was scandalous. She hd been ed
ucated at a normal school somewhere :n
the central part of Illinois, and, to tell
the truth, she did go at us boys in a the
oretical sort of way. The boys seemed
to get the idea the first day of school
that it would be an easy matter to run
things that winter. The boys always
had run the school, especially Rodney
Blakesley, w hom we called "Rob" for
short
It wasn't many weeks before the poor
girl had lost all control of the school, and
Rob Blakesley was practically master
of the situation. The only fellow among
uswhodidoot seem enthusiastic over
the fun was Newton Ellis. We called
him "Newt" for short "Newt" had said
once or twice that Le thought the boys
were carrying the thing too far. One
noon "Rob" slipped into the school room
w hile Miss Arnold was out and wrote
some lines on the blackboard that were
decidedly out of place, to say the least.
After school had been called Miss Arnold
looked appealingly at "Rob" and asked
him if be wrote the stuff on the board.
There was no use in his denying it, for
his long, scrawly band was unmistakea
ble. "Yea," yelled "Rob." "I put it on the
board, and ain't afraid of it, nuther."
"Will you go and rob it out ?"
"No, I won't"
The little teacher sat down by her
desk. She hid her face in her hands and
burst into tears.
Meanwhile no one had been taking no
tice of "Newt" Ellis. His seat was on
the last row back of Rod's."
Instantly "Newt" jumped from his
seat, took "Rod" by the collar and threw
him onto the floor. Everybody in the
room was ter.ified, for "Rod" Blakesley
was the bully of the school. "Rod" got
np quickly and ma'e for Newt" Newt
was not as big as Rod, but be was w ell
knit, and, to the surprise of us all, Rod
got the worst of it He ran out of the
door thoroughly whipped, and with the
origin in Lis face of what turned out the
next morning to be twp big black eyes.
There was no more school that day
and no more trouble the rest of the year.

A cold of nnasnal severity developed
into a difficulty decidedly catarrhal in
ali its characteristics, threatening a re
turn of myo'.d chronic malady, catarrh.
One bottle of Kly's Cream Balm com
pletely eradicated every symptom of that
painful and prevailing disorder. E. W.
Warner, Iiochester, X. Y.
When I began uwin Ely's Cream Calm
my catarrh was so bad I had headache
the whole time and discharged a large
amount of filthy matter. That has al
most entirely disappeared and I have
not had headache since. J. II. Sommers,
Stephney, Conn.
Authors of Famous Hymns.
It seems a singular fact that apparent
ly nothing in literary way will relegate
a writer to oblivion so surely as to be the
author of a world famous hymn.
Take a few instances :
Nearly every one has heard or sung
the line of "Shall We Gather at tbe Riv
er?" and yet how many know ere the
name of the author, much less the fact
that be is living?
The writer is the Rer. Robert Lowry,
D. DM a resident of Plainfield, X. J.
In Richmond, 111., lives Dr. S. Fillmore
Bennet. To how many is the name fa
miliar, yet to whom is his familiar church
song, "The Sweet By and By," not
known T
In the interior of New York State lives
Mrs. Annie Sherwood Hawks, who wrote
those famed lines of " I Need Thee every
Hour."
Hardly known end never recognized
on the streets of New York as she walks
out is Fanny Crosby, the author of count
less hymns, among them tbe famous one,
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus." t
It is odd that the evil of obscurity
should seem to be the inevitable reward
of those whose pens have given us the
hymns which have brought consolation
and joy to so many thousan.la.
An advertiser in tbe Birmingham Poet
announces : "Young gentleman is found
ing a new religion, which is sura to be
come popular, and desires a lady of
means to assist him in the work."
