There were six of us In the railway carriage, and between Paris and Rouen the train ran at tremendoute speed to make tip lost time. The talk among old travelers fell natur ally upon railway speed and then of course it turned to railway accidents due to high speed. One after the other we gave what we deemed strange tales of danger by rail. The last man to furnish a contribution w^s a wizzened old fellow, whose twinkling eyes twinkled all the more as horrors were piled upon horrors. With the train running at this speed such stories made me nervous. A man witlj.a face like this^ a sort of dried-up Santa da us, would surely tell us something of a reassuring sort. When opportunity offered I begged him to offset these tales of grewsome disaster with some antidote. He mu§ed for a moment and then said: "I know of one adventure by rail that may interest you gentlemen, al though I was net personally con cerned in it. It happened to an uncle of mine, an invalid who was re1 turning from Nice to Paris a few years ago. If you remember, ' the custom was then to change cars at Lyons; the train came to a stop in the Lyons station and the passen gers, after climbing up some twenty steps, found another train readv for Paris. The train by which my uncle traveled was the day express, noted for speed and always in the hands of the best men on the line. As in the case with us at this moment there had been some time lost through a hotbox, and as the train reached the neighborhood of Lyons it was really whizzing along the tracks. If you know the country at all you may re call that at the little town of Vienne the line crosses a viaduct over one of the small rivers that empties into the Khone at that point. For years it has teen and still may be the cus tom to 'slow up' when going over this viaduct. " "On that particular morning the day express was sent across the via duct at a speed which brought most of the old travelers to their feet. Such a thing had never been heard of. My uncle, among others, opened the win dow of his carriage (the doors were locked), and looked ahead. His car riage was near the front of the train. "As he raised the window, above the roar of a train going nearly sixty miles an hour, he heard a shriek of terror come apparently from the lo comotive; then another, and a third. He soon discovered that many of the passengers in the cars ahead of him were watching the locomotive with blanched faces. What was going on? The fellow-travelers in my uncle's compartment asked the question, but were too frightened to suggest any reply. As another piercing and aw ful shriek rose above the roar of the train one of the ladies went into hysterics and another fainted. My uncle asked some one to hold his body while he stretched out and called to some people in the car ahead. As he did so he saw only too plainly the trouble. The engineer had gone crazy, and was standing over his as sistant with a red-hot poker. My uncle caught one glance of the maniac's fape as he looked out from his cab in the locomotive and shook his flst in the faces of the terrified passengers. The screams they heard were from the poor wretch of a stoker, whose attempts to get into the cab of the locomotive were re pulsed with the red-hot iron, but who struggled notwithstanding some frightful burns upon the hands and chest. -• ••The stoker knew the danger, and so did many of the passengers. My unele knew perfectly well that the track upon which we were running virtually ended in the river at Lyons. There was a short stone parapet which a train going at sixty miles an hour would make nothing of, and then--the Rhone. There was scarcely time for thought, and yet this thought did present itself--that the end was coming, and soon--for already the outskirts of Lyons were raising- into view. It seemed as if the train was going faster than ever. Ever since that day my uncle refuses to travel on fast trains; the speed makes him nervous. In ten minutes Lyons would be reached,. "A shout passed along the train. Who had a gun or a revolver? One of the men in the first passenger car riage offered to shoot the maniac if a revolver could be found. The cry passed from mouth to mouth. There was not* a revolver on board. The maniac in the cab seemed to know it, for he bent out and leered with devil ish glee, brandishing an enormous poker. "My uncle swears that they were running at seventy miles an hour. In two minutes the Lyons station would be in sight. Though the train was flying the passengers could see the panic-stricken look of horror upon the faces of the people.along the line. In one minute * * * there'was Just time to prepare for eternity. * * * I beg your pardon, gentle men, this is my station and,I was al most carried by! • *. * au re volt," And off he jumped. We were too interested in his story to realize for the moment that we had lost its point. We never knew how the old fellow's uncle and those other terri fied passengers escaped death. I once ventured .to question an offi cer of the railroad company as to the record of any great smash-up in the Lyons station ten years ago. He never heard of any disaster of the kind. Perhaps it was for nothing that the old Santa Glaus had a twinkle in his eye.--Philip G. Hubert, Jr., in New York Epoch. v a 3 -- 1 ' -1, A Mat of HM«T, . There are persons who, ol^S4 ac count, would descend to any actual crude dishonesty, or defrauding of their neighbor, who will yet in small things, shelter themselves under the general affirmation of circumstances. The neighbor is rich, we will say, apd the one who has caused him some in convenience or loss of more or less magnitude, is poor, and so he wraps himself in a comforting delusion that his neighbor i§ "well enough able" to bear jInconvenience it may he, action is, if any- thtajg^^^K OD the side of eqoalia- .v,*, SBFTSJ? .. This is a-tifftfnet ice. If otM Haw in •- -- - -j*another, however unintentionally, it is the first duty of his life--his t»t duty to himself---to make every possible restitution and atonement. It does not matter In the slightest degree whether his neighbor needs--in the material sense --the atonment or not; the t*>int is that he needs to make it. If he has been properly reared in the true edu cation of moral principles it will be no more possible for him to know peace of mind until he has done all in his power to atpne for it, than it would- be had he put.his bandj:^ the fire. One may not be welI-t<>do ~Tn this world's goods, but he can never be so poor as to have the slightest ex cuse for being dishonorable, or from failing to keep good faith with all persons with whom he has to do. The Ground ting* Beb Ufk How the groundlings arise and come to the front! One of the marked cases in our day is that of Jim Carolan, who has made a marriage alliance with the great Pullman family. Jim Was a waiter in Sweeney^ 6- penny saloon, in Ann street, New York, and when the gold fever broke out in California he threw aside his white apron and let those who asked for pork and beans wait, hied him in the throng in search of gold, and reached Sacramento, where he opened a little shop for the sale of jackknives and sheet-iron spoons. • Pretty soon a sister or his married a business man and he sent goods to Jim, the same being purchased in the bifither-in-law's name and on his credit. One of his early shipments was 1,000 kegs of powder at 81.65 per keg, but powder was not abundant in California just then and Jim sold It for $10 per keg. Later on the^an in New York advised Jim to go to Frisco and buy all the American flags 1, in the city and to arrive. The flag furor had not reached Cali fornia yet.. Jim did buy the flags, and pretty soon the furor reached the coast, and the Frisco merchants had to go to Sacramento to buy back the flags they had sold to Jim. But when Jim had a good fortune made, on the credit and management of his broth- er-in-law, he had no further use for him. Now he is very anxious to have it believed that he went from Brook, lyn to California, ignoring New York and Ann street and the pork and beans for which Sweeney's was fa mous. Jim was from Connaught, in Ireland, but he has made attempts to ignore his fatherland, and, indeed, it used to be said that he denied having ever eaten codfish on Friday. Jim is a big rich man now, but still uses a small g for God Almighty and a small i for himself. Xsisterof his who washed and mended(his stock ings and cooked his pork ahd beans got married to a Scotchman." The outlay for the sister's marriage was a new hat and when the festivities were over the milliner sent in her bill and Jim directed it to be taken to his sister's husband. The Scotch are a thrifty, careful people, but the Irish trick of Jim's knocked the Scotchman out of time. The Scotchman paid the bill prompt ly.--St. Paul Pioneer Press. Herole Mouum To ascertain just what their chil dren are fit for is a problem which thoughtful parents find it hard to solve. If an error is made in this im portant matter, a life may be wasted --a human being thrown away. Im pressed with this belief, a farmer whose 15-year-old boy threatened to become a poet, resolved to take the advice of a friendly publisher con cerning the wisest course to pursue with him. If John really had genius, ,it should be encouraged; otherwise, lead his. thoughts into other channels. So, one day, the man of books was invited to dinner at the farm, and afterward, the per plexed father showed him over the place. John followed, unobserved, hoping to catch some pearls of wis dom as they fell from the publisher's lips, and was overwhelmed witft joy when he finally had a chance to lis ten. The publisher and farmer were just inside the barn door, and John was outside. The farmer was telling about his son's poetical aspira tions, and when he wound up with, "What do you think I had better do with him?" the listener fairly trem bled. "Have you a wall to your house?" asked the great man, after a short silence. "Yes, sir," replied the firmer in some surprise. ' "A hard wall?" - "Well, its stone?" "That will do nicely. Well, when John writes his next piece of poetry take him out and bump his head against the wall. Bump it pretty hard. Repeat the operation every time he writes a poem, increasing the dose in violent cases, and'I will guar antee a cure." John remembers that he crept away from the barn with a bursting heart, and the immortal epic poem was never written. Instead, he be gan to study law. At the present day it is doubtful if he could form a respectable couplet, yet he thinks that the great publisher spoiled a great poet Tw «e_Told TrIh. When Julius Caesar fell, as he was landing on the African coast, he is reported to have said, to banish the fears of his soldiers, who accepted the occurrence as one of ill omen: "Land of Africa, I take possession of thee!" William, the conqueror, on landing in England, is also reported to have made a false step as his foot touched the sand, and to have fallen on his Xace. A murmur arose, and voices cried, "Heaven preserve us! a bad jBign!" but William, rising, said, with out confusion or hesitation: "What is the matter? What are you won dering at? I hav ' seized this ground with my hands, and, by the bright ness of God, so far as it extends, it is mine, it is yours." When Edward III., again, fell and made bis nose bleed en the shore at La Hague, a cry of consternation was raised, which he quieted with the re mark: "This is a good token for me, for the land desireth to have me;" at which answer says Froisart, "his men were quite joyful." -- Twice Told Tales, w,, 4 .
