A'lvertirM in the CITIZEN.
KEEPER OF CRAGIE'S CUT.
AXTKR, the new
inspector of the
was no'- the only
person who had
r> lieen iislonished «it
tlie irst s 'S bt - °'
" the keeper of Cra
b . pie's bridgreand the
T | " ' ■ rock cut beyond.
I —r "L. C. Dolby, Sec
tion 27,"' he had read in his little book
with the thumbed blu<*.cover, and he
had expected to see a prizsle-bearded
roan *it.h a rouph. red fa and a
stubby black pipe. For Crapie was
known to lie one of the worst wvtioi -
on the line. Its keeper was rt-tjiii-:"( i
to walk a mile from the end of the
lonp bridpe and thronph the cut twice
every day, winter and summer, ar.d it
often required a cool head and a \
orousbody to dodpe the tramj freipht.s
that thundered br.ck and forth v,:'.i
seetninp disregard for time-cards ar.l
runninp rules.
The new inspector had come down
from Crapie's, walkinpthewholelenjrth
of section 27. lie had found everythinp
in the best of order, not a bolt loo«e tor
a spike pone, and he felt after
the manner of new inspectors, like
complinientinp Uie vigilance of the
kteper.
"Is L. C. Dolby in?" he asked, when
he reached the keeper's house on the
hill.
"Yee, sir; will you walk in?" asked
the rosy-cheeked pi*l w ho came to the
door.
He stepped into the neatest of little
eittinp-rooms. There were flowers in
thci windows and a cheery fire on the
hearth, in front of which a lazy tabby
cat yawned a good-humored greeting.
"My name is Baxter, the. new in
spector, and I wish to see L. C. Dolby,
the keeper of 27," he said.
The pirl flushed sliphtlv. lie ob
served that her hair was cut short like
a boy's, and that her chin was firm and
sharp.
"I am the keeper," she answered;
"mv name is Lettio C. Dolby, and I ic
had the place since father w as injured
last winter."
"That's ripht, and as pood as a man
she is, too!" came a pruff voice from
the inner room.
"It's father," she whispered; "won't
you step in nnd si* him ? lie's very
plad to have visitors."
Baxter had not yet recovered from his
shock of surprise at findinp that tlie
slim, blue-eyed pirl who stood before
him was really keeper of C-rapie s cut,
and he allowed himself to be led into
the. other room. There, at a bip, bripht
window, *mt a man in a rockinp-ohair,
Jlis faco was of the chalky whiteness
that comes from beinp always indoors
and his lap was spread with a plaid
comforter. He looked prematurely old
and worn.
"How are you?" he asked. "I'd pet
up, onlj—" and he motioned to his
crippled leps with a faint smiie.
"That's all ripht," respomVd Baxter
sympathetically; " keep your seat "
And Baxter, sitting there, heard lit
tle explain the condition of Section 27
and make her report as promptly and
very much more clearly than any oi
the keepers he had met. She spoke In a
frank, almost boyish way, and she un
derstood her work as well as Baxter
himself did. Tier father sat watching
her quietly, adding a word here and
there. Presently the clock in the fur
ther room struck three, and Lettie
started to her feet.
"It's time for me to make the rounds
of the section," she said, and a moment
laterßaxtersaw her lithelform, w rapped
In a stout, dark cloak, disappear over
the brow of the hills toward the tracks
As he looked bark he found Dolby
watchinp him intently. berk he
caught his eye, the cripple leaned for
ward and touched Baxter's kn.-e.
"There isn't a pluckier pirl between
St, Paul and the Montana buttes," he
said, "even if I do say it who shouldn't.'
"I don't- see how she can manage the
section," replied Baxter.
"That's what I say," exclaimed
IX)iby; "it's wonderful," nnd his
pinched face lighted up with a smile that
was beautiful to see. "It would pc
bard with us all if it wasn't for Lettie.'
"How did the pirl happen to be ap
pointed to such a place, anyway ?"
"She deserved It," Dolby answered en
ergetically; "she deserved it, Thetre
ain't many people that knows all the
facts excep' the superintendent. He
knows, and he says Lett ie can be keeper
as long as she wants to.
"Course you remember the bip bliz
zard that we had last winter—the one
that snowed in Evansburp and Brock
ton and Collinville, and killed all the
cattle on the Puddin' Bottom ranch.
Well, it struck the CVrapie country, too
Came up over the hill from lxick of the
house eairly in the morninp, and long
before teu o'clock there wasn't a fence
to lie seen in the county. Lettle's moth
er said I better not po down to the cut
She was afraid I mipht fret lost. But
I'd been at Crapie's off an'on for more'n
eiplit years, and I thfenpht I'd seen the
worst weather could do. So 1 went
down the hill, and before I was ten rods
from the house the snow had wiped it
out, and all I could see were the whirl-
Inp drifts anil the path for a dozen feet
ahead of me. And when I reached the
cut thore wasn't any cut there. It w»i
filled to the top with snow. 1 wondered
what the limited Ixvaad down for Craple
would do. It was pretty sharp and cold
when I reached the track this sid" ol
the bridpe, and I had to g-et lown on
my hands and knees and crawl alonp
from tie to tie just, like a baby. I was
strong in those days, too, only the wind
and the snow was so terrible that I
couldn't stand up. And the first thing
1 knew I had crossed the. bare knoll at
tlie bridpe approach and thore T was
hanpinp over the edpe. of the embank
ment like a bat to a rifter. Slipped be
fore I knew it.
"Pretty soon J heard tbe limited
squeal inp down the Cut. I knew that
Jim Crosby, the engineer, was floun
dering in the snow. I said to myself
that if Jiin succeeded in root ingthrough
with his engine 1 might be saved, but I
knew w ell enough that he wouldn't suc
ceed. It would take four engines and
two rotary plows to drive a tunnel dur
ing Mich a blizzard. And there she
squealed and shrieked for hours, it.
seemed to me, while my hands aud arms
grew as numb as clubs.
"And I-ettie —what was she doing all
this time? When the snow covered the
woodshed and began to creep up on the

THE ROCKING CHAIR SPINE.
An Affliction from Improp
er Sitting.
"Weaver's thumb" awl "housemaid's
knee" are «juite famiiiar terms, espe
cially to those who are fond of jKTUsinp
journals medical and liypienic, but the
"rockiiLjr chair spine" is less talked of.
possibly because it. is one of the jxis
sessio'.u; of those dwelling in more
affluent circles, and is what may be
classed tlie luxuries in the way of dis
ease.
llut it is none the less a clearly de
fined ill, and one that often leads to
more serious than its pri
mary condition might suggest.
Indolence and love of ease ore the
ineit i r causes of this aJUiction, and
genuine spinal disetse in m:uiy in
stauces been it.* unfortunate climax.
Strict h»pieuis(s and licalUi eultur
• sts tell that the n.;ckiup chair is an
unmixed evil. It perpetually changes
the equilibrium of the body and agi
tates the circulation. It injures tbe
eyes, as it continually changes the focus
of whatever one may be looking at. It
so disturbs tbe biuin that pliy sicians
have forbidden mothers and nurses to
rock delicate babies.
It will thus be .--ecu that the rocking
chair bepins its deadly mission ver\
early in the lives of its victims, and it
is equally true that they are very likely
to ktvj' up the mischief until they are
ready to uuike their tiuai exodus and
slip from the rocking chair into the
grave.
The symptoms that tirst attract at
tention are a sore.nessai.il sensitiveurst
of tlve spine. ustKilly that |>ortion near
or below tlie waist, and sometimes ex
tend ir.p to the lower edges of the shoul
der blades. There may be more or less
indirection accompanying it, and head
aches arc not infrequent.
The trouble arises from an impix>j»ei
[>osition in s : tting. Instead of keep
ing the KT>;naJ column in a [icrpe.idic
ular positiou, the lower |>art is bent
forward, as one lounges in a chair with
a sofa cushion. The strain on one side
of the *pine caused by its curved shape
after a tipie produces irritation, and il
lor.p continued, inflammation of a seri
ous character ensues. While there may
not be fatal consequences, there surely
are much inconvenience anil discom
fort attendinp a weak or irritable state
of thr- spinal column. (Jood health can
not exist with such a condition.of af
fairs. neither can pood spirits dwell in
s'lH.'li a Inxly. Persons who experience a
sotise of weakness or weariness, or a
dull ache in the back, will do well to
take thoupht if they have been too de
voted to the rockinp chair and its lux
urious cushions.
It is by physicians declared to be
much better to re«t either sitting up
right or in a recumbent |>osition, rather
than the lounging, half-doubled-up at
titude that rockinp chair devotees ordi
narily assume. But the wide, welcom
ingl arms of an easy chair are so alluring
that it takes Spartan courage to pive up
such a delicious luxury.—N. Y. Ledper.

When preparing a stew or hash, cut

"anti-cyclone," as it is technically
c known, and then arc carried inland, dis

t hcre<l that the atmosphere is something
s like a great gaseous sponge. Compres
, sijn and expansion are constantly going
on, with resulting cloudy and clear
, skies and different temperatures for
various layers. Some of the Inversions
I of the temperature found with the
v anti-cyclonic conditions illustrate this
e excellently. At such times we find th*it
I at t.he foot of a large hill or mountain

often 20 or 3d degirees warmer at the
summits than in the- valleys. Our great
j. fop iMtnks and the fogs which r<fmain
j for days are due to such temperature in
versions. On the Pacific coast it is easy
to trace the relations l>ctween themove
s ment of the "high" area and the fop.
|. Tvof. Davis tells of somewhat similar
conditions in December. 1879. when the

1 A president who should not carry

e would be president only in name, even
!i us regards his more important duties,
i His signature on the papers which he

i be as pood as tho custodian of his bank
t account would require, but within the
meaning of the la w it would be as often
its not. a moral forgery. Yet no com

l Presidents are made for better or for
h. worse. Such as they are in natural
faculties and strength, so they must

"One of the youngsters asked me the

ports tho New York Times, "if I had
ever been to Lurope on a record-break*
ing liner. I told him I hadn't, ojid never
wanted to go there that way. It is just
a question of engineers and stokers,
mere landsmen, on a big liner, and I'd
rather ship before the most, even on one
of your lublierly 40-day steel square
riggers with bows like a canal boat,
than go on a steamship. It would be
just about as interesting to me as atrip

FIDDLIN' JOHN'S VENGEANCE.
How He Made Way with Ik* "Blaadr
Sixteen" Band.
"Fiddlin* John" Turner WTBS born in
Yellow-Creek Valley 83 years ago. His
father lived to be 103 years old, and
lie killed three men. He came from
Virginia and settled in the mountains
of Kentucky on the farm on which
"Fiddlin' John" now lives, says the Chi
cago Kecord.
"Fiddlin* John," at tbe age of 83
years, is hale and hearty, and there
never was a better fighter, as his his
tory shows. He was a scout under Gen.
Morgan during this occupancy of Cum
berland Gap and his famous retreat to
the Ohio river. One thing about "Fid
dlin' John" which makes him so dear
ly loved by the mountaineers is that
there never was a better fiddler in all
the mountains. "Fiddlin' John" is
noted throughout, the mountains be
cause he ended the lives of 16 of the
worst mountain desperadoes that ever
trod Kentucky soil.
The "bloody sixteen," as this band
of desjieradoes was railed, killed "Fid
dlin' John's" brother, Sam, cut his ears
off, and nailed him to a tree, and "Fid
dlin' John" in turn exterminated the
entire baud by "bushwhacking" them
one after another.
Hp never received a scratch In all
his fighting, ;in<l he is very proud of the
fact, telling everyone who asks him
about his feud:
"I jest got close up to 'em, and then
bushwhacked 'em."
AN AWFUL DISAPPOINTMENT.
Hp I)e«-lnred It the Wont Sell He
Ever Had.
One Sunday morning a poor man,
dressed in his bent, having trudged all
the way from Boston, entered the
church at Xewburyport and took a Beat
near the pulpit, says the New York Re
corder. Presently the service began
and the preacher had not been speaking
long before the visitor from Boston be
gan to show signs of excitement. As
the sermon proceeded his body swayed
backward and forward, his eyes glit
tered strangely and at length he fell
in a fit on the floor. Two deacons ofl
the church carried him outside, laid
him down on the church green, unfast
ened hi.s collar and dashed water upon
him, while he writhed and rolled on the
earth.
At last the man recovered his senses
»oud was asked what ailed him. "Oh,
such powerful preaching!" said he. "I
had heard before of men going into fits
under Whitfield's preaching, butl never
supposed it would double ine up so."
"But," said one of the deacons, "that
was not Mr. Whitfield preaching, but
only a near-bv minister substituting for
him this morning."
At this point the Boston man be
came mad clear through.
"What!" said he. "Have I walked 50
miles, spoiled my best suit of clothes
and had fits, and never heard Mr. Whit
field after all? Well, I'll be goldaroed
if that isn't the worst sell I ever had!"
