Ttumorous department. THE YOUNG MAN WHO SHOWED OFF. The other day a young man about 20 years of age accompanied by a girl two or three years younger, reached Norristown by a Schuylkill Valley train, and after looking around for a few hours, bought some light cakes for lunch and returned to the depot. The fellow was heard bragging a good deal as to what be had done and could do, and cities he had visited, and by-and-by he walked up to a policeman and handed him four five-cent cigars, and said : "That's my girl in there." "Yes." "She just thinks her eyes of me." ! "So?" ( "I've never had a chance to show her how I'd die for her if necessary, I and seems to me we might put up a little job right here." "How?" onrl llDP WO 1 L " Weil, suppvoc 111c- uiiu uv< .. out to see the river. I leave her for a moment. Some chap comes along and < begins to chin her.

You pick out i some chap around here and tell him what I'm up to and I won't mind .< standing treat for all hands. When I ] rush on him he'd better run." Five minutes later the girl stood on i Swede street abutment alone. A fel- I low big enough to.pitch a barrel of flour over a freight car approached in j a careless way, and observed : , "Fine day, miss?" "Yes sir." ( "Nice view of Bridgeport ?" "Yes, indeed." j "May I offer you some peppermint loz ?"* Just then the young man came rush- J ing down. When he came within 10 | feet of the pair he cried out: "Villain ! take your leave or I'll toss you into the river !" "Oh, I guess not," carelessly replied 1 the other. "Base scoundrel! I am here to res- 1 cue this young girl from your clutches !" . 1 "Don't bust any buttons off, my < young cub." > The young man made a dash. He had to or wilt, lie rusnea at tne oig i chap with his arm upraised and hero- < ism in his eye, and the next minute he i was picked up and tossed over among i a lot of weeds as carefully as if he had been glass. Then the big man raised < his cap to the girl, smiled sweetly as ? he bowed and scraped his foot, and he, , was out of sight before the young man , recovered sufficiently to call out: "Minnie, did I kill him ?" { "No, Henry." , "Thank heaven that I am not guilty , of murder!

"WHY HE WOULD NOT DRINK. BY CHESTER F. BAIRD. "Come Ellis, come ! Step up and have something," said Conductor Lane. 'This is an occasiou when you might irop your straightlaced notions, and put yourself outside a bumper to the health of our comrade and his lovely bride. Come, then, speed them on their wedding tour. Fill a glass, old fellow, aud say with me : 'Conductor Frank, here's a long and happy married life to vou. Mav no "punches" mar the smooth tenor of your domestic life. May you receive no checks to your happiness. May your "coupons," is they appear in your happy home, never be severed from the parent ticket by the rude hands of Conductor Death. May the lights ahead of you always be white. May you be always able to 'pull the string" for your own dear family, and run by the time-card of mutual love and felicity. May no wrecks "lay you out," or dispatcher break iu your "run" with unnecessary orders. And, finally, may your sands of life run as smooth as a silver palace car, until you make that final run to Lhat Last Side Track, there to await the orders of the General Superintenleut of us all.' There, Ellis ! If you ion't drink after that, I shall be inclined to think that you have slipped [in 'eccentric,' and haven't 'the sand Lo see it." "I will pledge those sentiments to Frank, the dear old fellow, in a glass of water, or a bowl of strong coffee when I dine," answered Ellis. "You Lrnnw mv nrinninlas T,ani? and knnw [ have not touched a drop of liquor in nany years. Now, no offense, my boy ; jut as you have to go out this evening, lo you think your brain will be as clear is it should be, if you drink a few more bumpers' to our old friend Frank ? Df course if the run is a smooth one it's ill right; but suppose anything should lappen ? As we have ample time bebre dinner I have no objections to making a run' of my reasons for refusngto drink, even on such au occasion is the preseut. Landlord ! Just send is your biggest pitcher of lemonade! rhat'll keep our 'boxes' cool, boys, vhile I tell you a true story. As you ill know, I am the oldest engineer in ,he employ of the company. I have pulled a plug' these 25 years, and in ill that time have never caused the jompany to lose a cent through fault )f mine, except once ; and that once s what I have to tell you about. "I had always been a steady young ellow, and when I was promoted to ake charge of an engine, there wasn't >ne on the road that could present a :leaner record than myself. I never Irank, gambled, or did anything that [ would wish to hide from the eyes of ny dear little wife. For five years we ived a happy life, and I was accummuatiug some property, for we were both aving, and I had a good salary, havng been promoted to a passenger en pne. "One day I was taken sick ou the un, and when we reached N??, I vas in such a bad way that I was mrdly able to 'shut off.' I sent nay ireman to a store close at hand, to >ring me a half tumbler of the best >raudy. Now, that was more than I iad ever drank in my life before, and had no idea how it would affect me. wanted it to put new life in me, as he saying is, so as to enable me to inish the run. I got the brandy and Irank It, aud ere many minutes passed t had eased my pain, indeed, but had :hanged my careful nature so that I vas a very demon of recklessness. \.fter starting I cared for no caution ignuls, but put out, and from there to ? , such running you never saw. Phe conductor was a man who had denty of'sand,' but he 'squealed,' and Milled the bell on me twice. Being a.'e, I had the chance to pull out, and he way I shook the dust out of those loaches was a sight to see. "By the time we reached C , the fleet of the brandy hud died away. I elt morose and stupid ; and what was vorse, that one drink had aroused an ippetite I had never dreamed of posessing. I felt that I must have another [link?then another; answeriug ray lonscience, the while, with the plea hat it was necessary to keep off my ickuess. Had I been at the other eud ?f the road I should not have given vay so, but gone home and got my vife to fix me up some cordial; but I lad no one to look after me in C , md before I retired that uight I hail treated' and been 'treated,' until, vhen I tumbled dowu ou the bed in ny clothes, I had just consciousness tnough left to hear some one make he remark, that,.'Alvah Ellis had ninished a fearful lot of corn-juice, md he needn't talk any more about iny one else drinking.' ' You can imagine the condition I vas in when I was awakened at 6 in he morning to go out. My head was idling to split. My nerves were all mstrung. I was very sick and conuraed with a terrible thirst. I knew hut T vvnc nut. in n fit condition to fro nit, unless I 'took something to brace ne up' and steady my nerves. On ny way down to the depot I stopped a a saloon, and drank more than one soektail' before I felt that I had been ufficiently 'braced up,' and was in hape to assume the responsible posiion of piloting scores of lives over the oad in safety. "I shall never forget that walk to the epot, and what followed to ray dying ay. In the weak oondiliou of my tomach I had taken too much stimuint, as is invariably the case with any ne after 'a bust.' I was not exactly runk again, for I did not stagger, tnd I did not show I had been drinkng by my face, for the conductor raerey remarked that I looked a little the torse for my sickuess. But I was bewildered, and seemed to have lost all power to realize what I was doing. For iustance, I lit the torch?although it was broad daylight?and looked for iny oil-can, which, an instant before, I had handed out thecal) window to ray fireman. Then, on receiving the signal to start, I loudly called for brakes, although I was seated on ray box and jerking at the throttle. If my fireman noticed, anything peculiar about me, he didn't say a word. As for me, I shouldn't have cared if the superintendent had been sitting opposite. Everything seemed to work all-right though, fori made all the stops; more, however, from the force of habit than from any consciousness that I ought to do so. "At Pataskala we were to pass an east-bound ana meet a west-bound freight. This day there were two sections on each train's time. The east-bound trains were in the side track, while the west-bound stood out on the main track ready, as soon as I passed the lower switch and run up to the statiou, to 'saw round' me. As I struck 'the straight,' approaching the statiou, I saw how they were, but I was crazed with the accursed liquor, and instead of 'easing off preparatory to shutting off altogether, I 'dropped her down another notch' and pulled her wide open. The fireman spoke to me, and put his hand on the throttle, but I pushed him aside with a curse, and stood calmly looking ahead. I saw the flagman wildly waving his flag. I saw those on the freight-engine jump and run for their lives. I saw the scared faces as I flashed by the platform, and then came a terrible crash, and all was blank. "When I recovered consciousness I was lying on a sofa in the parlor of my ' boarding-house. The landlord and several of my friends were grouped around me, and the landlady was bathing my head, which seemed to be covered with cuts and bruises. By the dim light iu the room, for it seemed to be early mornjng. I saw them curiously watching me. I was too much confused and bewildered to ask anyHfHA/lIr 1\11 fr Ana nf f lit?m l/il I U? auuuii luv 1Y i VV.fi J UUU UIIV VI VMViU finally eulightened me in this wise : " 'What the duce do you mean, Ellis, by jumping out of second story windows? Do you want to commit suicide, or did you dream you had to 'skip off your engine to save your precious life ?" " 'What do you mean ?' said I. "'Why, I mean just this,' said he ; 'I came in on the 2.40 run, and was just going to bed in my room below yours, when I heard you run across the floor, and the next thing kerchug you came right out there iu the yard. You struck the lattice-work as you went down and cut your head, and I guess you are considerably shook up.. The wonder is, old boy, that it didn't kill you. You must have been dreaming.' "And so I had been, boys. Thank Heaven ! I had only been dreaming; and my wreck was only the hullucinationofabrain disordered by whisky. But I took it as a warning, and, although, when leaving time came I was nervous and sick, and covered with bruises from my fall, and needed 'bracing up,' I did not stop at a saloon on my way to the depot and drink cocktails. I worried it through that trip, and from that day to this have never touched a drop of liquor, and please Heaven, I never will!" ~~ i " *?k?h ^ &AKIN13 POWDER Absolutely Pure.

T S. M. McNEEL A CO. January 23 4 I2nio ARE YOU A THINKING MAN V OR do you lot somebody else do your studying. If you arc a thinker we want you to consider a few points which we will submit. Here they are: Can you attord to go on from day to day, week to week and year to year without throwing around your wife, children or those dependent upon you, that iron clad protection which is absolutely guaranteed to them by a policy in a tirst-class life insurance company? If you decide that you cannot ignore life insurance, are you using the same business sense that characterizes your daily business transactions if you place your insurance with a company that charges you twice as much for your protection as it is worth, or as another company equally as reliable will furnish it for? The Mfrtwr. Reserve Fund Life Association, of New York, has been in business about 15 years and during that time has paid more than 8212,000,000 to the beneficiaries of deceased policy holders. It has in force today as much insurance as the THREE STOXGESTold line companies had when they had reached the same age, and something like $50,000,000 to spare. It has more assets, as compared to liabilities than any company in the world. It has paid every honest death claim that has been presented, in full, and hes never taken advantage of a technicality, as other companies often do. Now for a practical illustration: Say you are 43 years of age : A $5,000 life policy (pay as long as you live) in the Insurance Company, of New York, will cost you $180.50 annually or $3,'110 in twenty years, if 1!fft thtif l/"*nrr in fnlfl lint counting interest. The same size policy in the MUTUAL RESERVE, will cost you $8?>.10 annually, or $1,722 in twenty years. We will be pleased to explain our system to you and also to convince you tnat any derogatory statement made by any agent of any old line company doing business in .this section about the Mutual Reserve, is absolutely false and is inspired by his desire to sell you something you will never derive any benefit from. It will certainly do you no barm to learn all you can about our company and its plan before placing your insurance. SHOES! SLIPPERS!!
