The wreckage caught fire and the injured were rescued with great diffi culty. - A train filled with pilgrims had been switched to a siding to permit .the Antwerp express to pass. By some mistake the switch was not closed. The express, running at 50 miles an hour, took the switch with out jumping the track and plowed into the rear of the pilgrim train. Every car of the train on the siding was telescoped, the engine leaping through the wreckage and crushing the pilgrims to death. The ears were smashed to splinters and the passengers were eaugnt In the debris. Peasants quickly gathered, but were so horrified they could not take the injured from the wreckage. Many of them had to remain where they were until the timber was chop ped away. Inability to render sur gical aid In many cases was appar ent. In one coach every occupant was killed. Several bodies were taken out and laid in a row. Seve ral others died shortly after being rescued. For a mild, easy action of the bowels, a single dose of Doan's Reg uletB 1B enough.

World.) How much it costs to keep a hen, In dollars and in cents, I do not know, but otherwise lt simply lo immense. She's such a busy, active thing And wrecks more garden soil In half an hour than one can fix In days and days of toil. She doesn't Reem to bother much About her mortal needs Until the flower beds are done, And then she swipes the seeds. She's neighborly as she can be, And wheu her larder's poor, She climbs the high dividing fence And helps herself next door. She roams around tho livelong day, As cheerful as can be, And plays the very dickens with All growing property. She seems to think she has a right To every little bit That she can see, and what she can't She goes and digs for lt. Oh, say What does a hen cost every year? To calculate is vain, For figures cannot measure half Her owner's mental Btrain. Kl LL THE COUGH ?ND CURE THE LUNGS wT Dr. King's New Discovery [AND ALL THROAT Ar- ' UNO TROU 81 El.
