the most brilliant rescue in all tt
annals or railroading, recently m
been appointed station agent at Moij

position the Northwestern Railroa
has added another testimonial to i
appreciation of her deed, by whic
many lives and much property wei
saved from destruction.
On the night of July 6,1881, the D<
Monies River, swollen with heavy aD
continous rains, overflowed its bant
and 8wept downward in resistless to
rents. Of the twenty-one bridges i
the valley between the townB or ?soor
and Moingona, on the main line of tt

into kindliqg wood, and to add 1

Her father, a section foreman on tb
Northwestern, was out in the stori
at his post of duty. He did not retru
at his usual time, and their fe^rs f<
him grew into a panic of apprehen&ioi
Finaly the girl in denfiance of h<
mothers will, determined to brave it
elements and go in search of him.
She hardly had wrapped herself u
preparatory to going out, when a
ominous sound broke on their ears <
bove the wailing of the wind. Thei
was a crash, a hiss of escaping steal
and the thunder of a heavy weigt
falling a great distance to the groom
Peering through the darkness, the
saw that a helper engine, sentout froi
Boone to be of service in the storn
had crashed through the lofty treeti
and lay in the deep gulch beneath,
mass of ruins.
Seizinga lighted lantern the girl spe
out to the scene of disaster. Two <
the engine '..crew were dead. Tw
others lay near the traok desperate!
burt. She eased them all she coul<
then turned her face in the direction <
Moiogona, four miles west of Boom
A. passenger train was due from thi
point within an hour. She must sto
that train.
Making her way through the rugge
gulch, and, with the aid of the undei
brush and weeds climbing up it
further side, she reached the mai
track above and set out on her perlioi
lourney. Not far along the way h<
heart almost failed her. She had t
oross a trestle half a mile long over tfc
raging river mat ooomea noi more ma
twenty feet beneath ber.
To make matter* worse, the light i
ber lantern was blown out, and sb
shuddered iu consciousness that on
false step would plunge ber into tb
boiling flood. But she kept on, craw
Ing and creeping over the trestle o
bands and knees, in utter darkness ej
sept when occasional flashes of llgh
aing threw a weird illumination acra
the stormy sky.
Having safely passed the trestle, tb
girl ran at top speed to the statioi
where, after asping out a warnin
bo the station master, she fell swoonin
at bis feet. 8he wits just in timi

A special train was got ready to g
to tbe sceoe of the wreck. By th
time the brave girl had beeo revive<
and, boarding the train, she conducte
the crew by tbe one safe path acrof
the golch to the relief and rescue of th
two injored trainmen.
The Legislators of Iowa appropr
ated $5,000, which it gave to Mif
Shelley as a reward for her heroisn
With this money she bought th
Farm on which she now lives. On th
night of the resoue the grateful pa
?engers made op a purse of many do
iars, and not long afterwards the Nortl
western Railway gave her a gold medi
and a life pasB.
Recently the N^rthwestern Railway
in opening its nev/ Kate Shelley Bridt
across the Des Moines Rvier gorgi
shifted its track out of sight of her co

Bear In mind that sugar and all
sugared or sirupy substances, unless
sparingly used, are the most injurious
Df the foods In ordinary use. They
render digestion Imperfect and by
their seductive taste are liable to lnluce
overeating.
Eat sparingly of fruit, preserves,
real, pork, young lamb, kid, ham, ba>
con, sugar, vinegar, spices, fats, oils,
Cried foods, pastries, cakes, rich desserts,
strong gravies, hot freshly baked
bread and foods which form adherent
pastes.

in hot days. Avoid uncomfortably
hot drinks. Avoid eating at irregular
hours. Never overrule your appetite,
which is the best index of the
amount ot food you need, except in

special diet
Satisfy your appetite, not your gluttony;
satisfy your thirst, not youi
craving.
Salt your food sufficiently, because
Bait Is an aid to digestion, but not
more than needed to suit the taste.
Eat less rapidly and chew your food
more. The stomach wants only well
chewed food. The teeth were made
for that special purpose. If they are
poor or missing, seek the dentist's aid.
Avoid violent exercise and severe
mental exertion jast after meal, bat a
moderate exercise, as Walking, will
aid digestion.
Wash your hands with soap and water
before each meal, even if they da
aoi appear unclean.
Brush your teeth inside and outside
at least once a day, and rinse yocu
mouth after each meaL
When your stomach is ant of ortter,
give It a rest by fasting half a day ox
by taking only a little fluid food
Remember that the whole soxftesl
meats are beef, mutton and poultry
and that beef and mutton are most
easily digested and wholesome when
broiled, roasted or stewed, not fried.
Remember that pure water is the
most natural and wholesome beverage.

before breakfast will go far toward
preventing sickness and extending life
