HIS HAIR W The Thrilling Story ^ New Yo A big black cloud'that seemed to pull out at the bottom until it had the shape of a balloon spilled its flood upon the west slope of Marshall Pass. . The flood rushed down a narrow gulch and tore away about 50 feet of the railroad track. The New England excursion train had to be backed down to Sargents, at the foot of the hill, and held there until he road could be repaired. There was absolutely no amusement for the excursionist save what they could make for themselves, and yet one heard no complaint Nobody threatened to sue the company or send in a bill for the extra meal of mountain trout that they were com pelled to take because of the washout. aThese Yankee tou'ists," said the old engineer, ':have moh patience an' less pocket money than any class of people undeh th' sun." A couple of gentlemen came over to the little roundhouse, walking with their hands behind them, looking at the locomotives that stood steaming in front of the house waiting for or ders. Upon the pilot of one of the engines a white-haired man in overalls sat smoking a cigar. "Good evening," said one of the 'tourists. il "Good evening," responded the en gineer. "I suppose," said the New England er, putting a clean tan boot upon the nose of the pilot, "that you have been in a close place some time." "Well, I can't say that I have," said the man in overalls. "I see that your hair is wlite, and yet you are a younger man than I am." "Oh!" said the engineer, a little embarrassed, "I got that in the 60's, long before I commenced railroadin'." "I sae, I see," said the excursion ist, showing still greater interest. "At Gettysburg, perhaps." "It was going home from Gettys burg," said the engine driver, glanc ing at his right hand, that had a ' deep dimple in the thick of the thumb. "I went home, also, after Gettys burg," said the Yankee, and the two men looked at each other fer a mo ment in silence. The fireman brought a cushion from the cab, threw it upon the pilot, and the engineer motioned the men to a seat. "Well, there was a good many went home from Gettysburg." said the en gineer, with the hard pedal on "home." The Yankee nodded in silence. Of course, each knew by the othsr's ac cent that they had fought there face to face and not side by side. "Onet of your fellows did me a mean litle trick down there," said the ex cursionist. "Well, if it conies to that, a damned Yankee poked his bayonet through my hand," said the engineer, for he had to swear when he talked. "And, seeing that yo were unarm ed, made you a prisoner, when he might have killed you." "Yes, I had been hit on the head with a spent piece of shell or some thing heavy enough to knock me out. When I came to and staggered to my feet this Yankee made a run at me an' I had to give up." "Well, sah, I watched my chances and hit him a crack under tho eah, grabbed his gun an' when he started to get up I laid the barrel across his head and left him there, when I might have killed him." "And here," said the exoursionist, removing his travelling cap, "is the scar yu gave him.^' "An' here's the ma'k of yo' bayo net," Said the engineer, wiggling his thumb. The two men shook hands. The tourist returned to his sleeper, but came back agaiD presently with a half dozen friends. The Yankee produced a well-filled cigar case, planted him self at the side of the engineer, and acked him to tell how his hair happen ed to be white. v "Well, sah," said the engine man, "it's that damn silly thatl have rievah ? told it." "But you must-you could not re fuse an old comrade," said the Yan kee, laughing heartily. "After thc scrap," said the Vir ginian, whose accent must now be im agined, "I went home to rest unti] my hand could heal. Our place was a long way from thc railroad, und when I left the train I hired a saddle horse and started out to the plantation. Il was a dark, rainy uight. The result of the battle of Gettysburg had sad dened me, ifut now the thoughts ol seeing the folks and friends at home gave me pleasure that could not bc marred even by the sad news of thc death of one of our neighbors. "This man-this dead man-and 1 bad been playmates and fast friends in boyhood days: but, as we grow old er. we fell or rather 'grew' in love with thc same girl. I can't say that I blamed him for that-any man witL eyes would d<> it-but when I wept JAS WHITE. of How it Turned. rfc Sun. away to war and saw bim stanc i ag by her side upon the station platform, it did't seem quite an even break. He was to stay there and listen to the music of her voice while I heard the roar of the cannon. He would sit by her . side in the summer twilight, while I slept out in the rain and helped to make history, and the thought of it put a hardness in my heart that had' softened only at the news of his death. It was pleasant, however, to reflect that I had faced the enemy-had walked 'in the shadow of the shell,' and live to come home, to her, while he, poor devil, had been kicked by a mule, and died. "Tomorrow he would be planted, ! and 1 should be there to see how she took it and console her as he had dene when I answered my country's call. It must have been nearly midnight when I entered a lohely lane that led past the principal burying ground in the neighborhood. Looking over the high fence, I saw a new grave, and doubted not that it was for my neigh bor. "The rain had eased. The moon shone dimly behind the clouds. Sud denly my horse stopped with his head grating over the graveyard. I spur red 'him and he started forward, but stopped again, raised his head and snorted "I listened, but heard nothing ; looked, but saw nothing but the white slabs gleaming ghostlike in the night. I sparred and whipped my horse, tut with another wild snort he whirled around and headed the other way. Putting him about, I" looked om the low wall and saw something white rise and fall. The scared horse trembled under me, but I urged him on to where he had stopped first. Kow the white object rose again. My God! it was from the open grave-his grave, too. I made no doubt. For the first time -in my life my blood ran cold. I sat lite one paralyzed in the saddle and saw the white thing rise and fall. Again I urged my frightened horse, but as often as I brought him up to the scratch, he whirled, snorted and dashed away down the muddy lane. I could not go round, and he would not go past the frightful object. In this way wc worked forward and back, churning the mud, but getting no nearer home. At hst, discouraged and disgusted, I determined to pull down the high fence on my right and pass through the field. "A? I reined my horse toward the fence he refused to go, or to take his eyes Crom the grave. With a wild, unearthly cry, such as I had never J heard from a horse, the poor animal sank trembling to the earth. I cut him with my riding whip, brought him to his feet, and swung into the saddle again. ? Looking over the wall I saw this thing come right up out of the grave. There could be no mistake now, for the moon was shining almost full. I saw it put out its hands upon either side, as though it were trying to^,lift itself up. The whito arms seemed to beckon to me in the moon light and then it sank back into the grave again. "I was never -superstitious. I had never seen, up to this time, a thing on earth that I would not approach. But this was too much for me. It was not of this earth-it was unearth ly, and I was sick at heart. Now, I began to wonder how this story would sound when I should go home and tell it. "I, who had faced death upon thc battlefield, day and night, for weeks and months, must say that I had seen a ghost in a graveyard. The very thought of it made me angry, and I swore that I would solve this mystery or die. "Life at best was not a grand, sweet song to the people of the South at that time, and that thought, perhaps, helped mc to be a litt)e mite reckless. Taking firm hold of what was left of my once ample stock of courage.-1 dismounted and made my horse fast to the high fence. Cross ing the road, I looked over the wall, but nothing could be seen. "I had never been afraid of this man in the flesh, then why should I fear his ghost, or whatever or whoev er was doing duty at hie open grave. I was now aware that I was shaking with cold. "I took a drink. A friend had giv en me a bottle of brandy in the town, but I had forgotten it until now. Pres ently I began to feel warmer and wait ed for the ghost. I began to hopi that thc ghost had taken water at my display of courage. I could see inj horse over against the fence, resting quietly. A graveyard rabbit darted past, rolling the leaves and causing me to start. "I took another drink. "Putting my hands upon the rougt stone. I leaped lightly to the othei side. 1 felt another chill, but wher my ghost remained out of sight I took courage and started for thc grave From mere force of habit I took oui my pistol aud held it in my hand as 1 went forward. "Unfortunately for me, a big ck svrcpt between nie and the moon, r I paused, a hundred feet from t grave, to let it pass. Now up ca the ghost again, and right then where I got this hair. Before 1 since have I known a moment 1 that. I was not warm, and yet I \ perspiring freely. "I took another drink, but t time I could not taste it, but I coi feel the three drinks now getting gether and giving me new courage. "Suddenly all sense of fear left r 'Hi, there !' I yelled. 'Come ( and show yourself !' and instantly came the ghost, but instead of frig' ening me it made me laugh, am laughed loud, there in the lonely pla and heard the echo come back fri the hill across the run. I had a; vag feeling that I was insane, and ye knew that I was not, but I could r understand why 1 was not afraid. "I wanted to get hold of that ghi and have it out with the thing, a dared it to come out and make a fig] I fired my pistol to show that I v brave. There was a sound from t laue of breaking rails, the snap o: hitching strap and I saw my pc horse galloping away. "I was in for it now, sure enoug and determined to give a good accou of myself. Bight there I took anott drink, and to my surprise the bot was empty. I also took a hot at t grave, for it occurred to me now 1 the first time that some one might I having fun with me. As the smo ! of the pistol cleared away I saw t white thing lift itself to the edge the open grave. It had wings, could hear them and see them beati wildly against the sides of the sepi ehre. " 'Come out of that,' I cried. You' got a pair of wings ; why don't y< get up and fly ?' "There was no reply from the gho and it seemed to me that I must ei the suspense or go mad. Rushing i to the grave I laid hold of the thin dragged il forth, raised it high abo my head, and slammed it upon tl earth. It gave a 'squawk.' " "What was it ?" gasped the Nc Englander. "It was an ol' white gandah, sah, - mu o mm - Old Things About Rainbows. Did you ever see a rainbow inti west ? In discussing this curioi question, the Philadelphia Times giv some interesting facts in regard to rainbow and how it is formed : 1. It is never seen except when tl sun is shining in one part of the sk and rain is falling in the other, or o posite part. 2. It is generally seen in the eas because our showers come from tl west and pass off toward the east. 3. It cannot be formed in the ea except in the afternoon. 4. It cannot be formed in the we except in the morning. 5. It is never seen at midday, b cause the sun is then above us, ai we cannot, therefore, stand between and thc rain. Some of you may wonder why a rail bow is always semi-circular in shap As a matter of fact, it is always complete circle, but we cannot sec bi one-half of the circle, because tl earth cuts off our view. If we we: poised in the air, high above the cart! we could see it all. The circu ; shape is due to the fact that the rail drops are round, and that each dre reflects but one color to our eyes, may strike you as a strange thing, bi it is true, that no two persons see tl same bow. That is because no tw persons can possibly occupy thc san position, and thus reflections fall di ierently upon their eyes. - Au old Scotchman who had bee a long time in the colonies paid a vis to his "uative glen," and, meeting a old school-fellow, they sat down 1 have a chat about old times and ai quaintanoes. In the course of conve: sation the stranger happened to as about a certain Geordie McKay. "He dead long ago," said his friend, "an I'll never cease regretting him as lon ; as I live." "Dear me !

Would you like to be ''the family despot,"' the "dear, sweet sugar lump?" Just imagine it. Thc baby is helpless, its "'cute lit tle hands" cannot assist in providing the simplest comfort. The baby is speechless, unless people can inter pret its cry. Imagine you were asleep, and some "pretty ladies" invaded your bed room, pinched your dear little hands, aud smothered you with kisses, ex claiming, "It's time to wake up." Then they picked you up and took you to the window, and laughed and thought it "so cute to see it wiggle." You cannot continue to sleep because some one else thinks it is time for you to bc dressed, and ignores your heavy, sleepy looking eyes. You would be kept sometime in a hot, stifling dark chamber, and taken suddenly into a cool, airy parlor, or out of doors into a strong light and cool breeze. Every visitor must han dle you, shake you up and down, and show their love for you by mouthing your face and neck all overin a canine fashion. They even keep their mouth or face pressed over your tiny mouth and nose till you are half suffocated. Sometimes these faces are hot and moist, and impart a "horrid taste" to your lips because of the paint, powder or other lotions with which they are covered. Sometimes your lips are made sore or tender by the face pow der rubbed off on them. Some of these mouths are scented with decayed teeth or other disease. When you are taken back upstairs you miss the people and the light and cry, and then you are trotted and shaken till you stop erying for lack of breath. When you are dressed, your head is .let to hang down lower than your body till the very top of your head is red with the blood pouring into it. Of course, it takes a long time for you to become comfortable after such an ex perience. When-taken in the street, your view is entirely obstructed by a lace trim med shade, drawn down in front of you. If it is not down entirely there is still a line of lace and sunshade shaking before' your eyes. , Or else you are left with no protection from thc sun. You are expected to take all your airing flat on your back, laid out ; <* if dead. If you gb with a nu you are taken to spend thc al lotcu airing" in. a stuffy kitchen while thc nurse talks with her friend, the cook, or your carriage stands in an alley where you breathe slops and swill ouors. Or you are left alone in your carriage, at the mercy of big dogs, drunken men staggering hon?e, and runaway horses. If mamma has no servant, you may spend days without going out for air and exercise, because mamma hasn't time or strength to take you, and is too ignorant to know your future health depends upon your present way of living. You are left in the same position for long minutes instead of being moved or turned over every fifteen minutes. You have no new doll or pretty playthings, because mamma thinks you are too young, and really you would enjoy a pretty colored toy or a doll long before you are able to ask for it. These are some of the baby's woes and sufferings. Can't you think out the rest?- Farm and Home. - A Georgia colored minister preached this good doctrine to his people : "But 'taiu't no use ter trabble along dat narrer path 'less yer can carry, folded up in yer creed, a good rec'mendation from yer creditors. Hebben ain't no place fur men who has to dodge roun' a corner fur fear of meetin' someone who'll ask for dat little bill dat nobber was paid." - It often happens that the doctor is out of town when most needed. The two year old daughter of J. Y. Schcnck, of Caddo, Ind. Ter., was threatened with croup, he writes: "My wife insisted that I go for the doctor at once ; but as he was out of town, I purchased a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy which relieved thc child immediately." A bottle of that remedy in the house will often save the expense of a doctor's bill, be sides the anxiety always occasioned by serious sickness. When it is given as soon as the croup cough appears, it will prevent the attack. Thousands of mothers always keep it in theil homes.

The Southern policy of raising cheap cotton and politics and paying high prices for the wheat and meat of the "West, strikes the Hattiesburg, Miss., Progress as bordering on the ridiculous. With this as his theme, the Progress editor cuts out wisdom in solid chunks which it would bo well for the cotton planters of the South to consider. The Progress says : When the fanners of the South raise wheat, wheat will go down ; when they raise meat, meat will go down, and when they raise something else besides cotton and politics, pros perity and confidence will come in wagon load3 and be dumped over into their yards. Not before. Fools and free silver and gulping gold bugs can never change the laws of nature. The exclusive production of cotton and politics in the South will never pro duce cheap wheat and meat in the West. It is against nature and reason and common sense, and yet some peo ple will fret and slobber and charge it to the demonetization of silver or the Dingley tariff bill or the election of McKinley, or to everything else under the sun except their own cussed lazi ness. There are some people who ought to be thrown into a mill pond and the mill thrown in on them.
