> A Telegraphers {Story > * * Dick Ramsey andi, af ter learning telegraphy, had gone "west together nuil laiicn positions ai n?ighboring railroad stations. Ono aitemoon there came a fran tic call at the wire, and I hnrried to thc instrument to hear Dick tapping, oil thc words that the express train had been delayed and! to hold thc ' runaway/' duo nt the station ten minutes later, until I henrd from him. Directly after j the message carno the line:> "Epp?ress trairi in eight. Something iwfcong. Stand hv." 1 waited a fuji minute; then caine Dick's familiar tap tap: "Ex press is being run by strange hands. ?They have stopped a^ this station. Send relief." There was a second's silence; then, before I could flash tho alarm along the line, the tapping began again. It ran : "Everything all right. Good-' by." I signaled for him to repeat the message, and again came the words : ?Everything all right. Goodby." I held, the instrument iii my hand und debated with myself upon my course of conduct. I did not want to needlessly send the alarm along, the line. On the other hand, why .had Dick sent his first message? I. touched the instrument and.asked, "Is every thing all right, Dick ?" And the answer came hack, "Every thing is all right." It did not se?m at all like Dick's touch, but I laid it to nervousness and quieted my fears while I waited for tho "runaway." I recalled that Dick had told me over the wire the previous evening that the "runaway" would have a large sum of money aboard, which } it was to transfer to the express at I Jii? station. When the "runaway" came up, I ^notified the engineer that the ex 3>T3ss was waiting for him at Lake villc, and I also casually mentioned that the alarm had como from there, but that aftenvard I had received a message that all was well. Ile seemed disturbed and advised me to repeat the story to thc United States marshal aboard, which I .did, with the result that the train pulled out of the station prepared for emer gencies, though neither they nor I thought anything of the hasty mes sage that had been flashed to me. Ten minutes later the message came over the wires from Lake ville: "Found train in charge of highway men. Dick Hornsey murdered at in strument. Object was to rob the 'runaway/ hut we overpowered them after a desperate struggle. Notify the stations along the line to send relief." This, in brief, was the story of the death of Dick Bemsey, and after i I had seen him laid away in the graveyard at Lakeville I packed up my goods and journeyed farther on, for I could not remain so near the scene of my old friend's death. Well, strange thiT J happen, and after I had found a position with the same company fifty miles away I was assigned back to Lakeville. I found the village grown into a settlement of very fair size and the simple little station replaced by ? very pretentious one, while tho hum ble little churchyard where they had bnrijd poor Dick Romsey was gay with flowering shrubs, and spires of marble lifted themselves here and there among the trees. Dick's grave was still marked by thc rude cross I had placed over it. The president of the road was a self made man. Often he did not go up to the city, and on these occa sions he. wired me on his private line, and I wired to tho city for him. One day, chancing to sit at tho instrument, there came a call on the president's wire, and, respond ing, I received this message : "Let me know if the road is clear." A minute later I called up his pri vate wire and tapped, "The road is clear." "AU right," come back the an swer. It was a- simple enough message, but it set my pulses throbbing.. Me chanically I touched the button aiid repeated tiie message, "The road is clear," and immediately came back the words, "All right.?' I sat at the instrument like a man in a dream, and my thoughts were with Dick, who had sat at the same spot five years before and had touch ed that, same instrument. What was there in that reply that so fascinat ed mo or was it the anniversary of poor Dick's death that made me fanciful? That afternoon the president came down to tho station on busi ness, and I looked at him closely. He must have seen me watching him, for he shifted his position un easily and nervously handled tho in strument. ? may pzy that he was an expert operaiur and pref erred .tele graphing his messages to wrixing them. He seemed ill afc ease that day, and I withdrew my eyes and busied ttys eli elsewhere. But moro than once he caught mo looking at him. -, Twice that day the president drovo down to the station, and slow ly he drr-ve homo again, as though he were diBCurbed abolit something. IThe third time ho came it was al most dork, and ? heard him send his coachman home, telling him'that iio I-vuiu. J.OUOW soon, on ioot. For half an hour tho president busied himself around the station, a most unusual thing for him, and when ho finally tooFlcayo it was to walk, hurriedly away in tho direction of tho churchyard, a journey which' I often took myself. 4 Scarcely'realizing what I was do ing, I pulled my cap over my eyes and started after him. What ex cuse I would make if he turned and saw me I knew not. I only under stood that ionio force was pulling mn onward and that wim? force was taking mo over the same road and in the very footprints of President Gr cy don of the Lake vi He and Laska railway. To my surprise, he turned tho corner as. he reached the church, and, plodding his way past it, open ed tho gate which led into tho churchyard and slowly wended his way among the graves. Noiselessly I followed him. Through the nar row, paths we went, ho the sub 8tance> I the shadow close ofter him. But, horror of horrors, he stop ped I And, my God, ho bent over Dick Eamsey's gravel Lower and lower he sank until ho was upon his knees and his hands were spread out upon the sod. In the uncertain light of the rising moon X could see that he threw back his head, that his face was drawn and deadly white and that his lips were moving. ! I must have stepped upon a twig, for a sound betrayed me. Spring ing to his feet, he turned and faced me, not ten feet away. With a cry of rage he sprang to ward me. "So you followed me!" he cried fiercely between his teeth. "You dogged my steps !" He was a powerful man, but in the struggle which followed I easily mastered him. and had him pinioned, \white and panting. "Do not add another murder," I said fiercely, "to that of Dick Ramsey." ''How do you know?" he whisper ed. "I recognized your hand upon the wire. I was tho agent at the next station when you-took Dick's place -you remember-five }rears ago today I" "Oh, God, yes!" he cried* "Shall I ever forget? When I had to come to this cursed place to live, I thought it might disappear after awhile. But it grows stronger every day. I live with it, see it, hear it-that poor fellow-all the time ! Yet I had to do it or be killed. There was a gang of us. Oh, oh !" ho cried, and, break ing down utterly, the proud presi dent of the road buried his face in his hands. It was a strange scene, we two there in the moonlight, accuser and accused, he trembling, I revengeful. "I tried to lead a better life," he continued, "and on my gains I suc ceeded well. But, oh, the misery of these years ! I thought tonight if I could Bee his grave and pray upon it I might be forgiven and lave rest." His eyes sought the spot where poor Dick lay with crushed skull. "What are you going tc do?" ? asked after we had stood there in silence. "Give myself up now, I suppose," said he. "There is no other way." The next day the whole country was ringing with the strange confes sion of President Greydon. He made a clean breast of it and was so manly and sincere in his repent ance that nobody was sorry when ids sentence was "'laced at a term of imprisonment ins ?ead of the death penalty, which is so summarily dealt .out to criminals in the.newest of the western towns. Unthinkable. "Suppose," said the girl with the Gibson girl neck, "you had never cared for men at all, and you fell in love wich a voting man at first eight" "Well;" sai'j the girl with the dimple. "And you engaged yourself to him" "Yes?" "And when you married him" "I can't imagine anything of that kind-^n a first engagement." Chicago Tribune. To Cut Glass With Shear?. 'A sheet of glass-a window pane, for example-can be cut as easily as a sheet of cardboard. The secret consists in keeping the glass; thc Bhears and the hands under water during the operation. The glass can be cut in straight or curved lines without a break or a crack. This is because the water deadens the vi brations of the shears and the glass. If the least part of the shears comes out of the water, the vibration will be sufficient to mar the success of the experiment. La Grippe Quickly Cured. "In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was tainan down with asevere attack of what is called La Grippe," Bays P. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of Win field, 111. "Tho only medioino I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped tho coughing like magio, and I have never since been troubled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Hemed y can always be depended upon to break up a B?vero cold and ward off any threatened attack of pneumonia. lt ie pleasant to take, too, which makes it the most desirable and ono of the most popular,preparations in use for these ailments.

Itt the space between Mars and Jupiter there aro hundreds of little planeta called'asteroids which have been discovered during the last cen tury by astronomers all over tho world. Some of them aro hardly bigger than a big western farm, ard very few are large enough to bo seen without tho aid of a powerful tele scope. Nowadays they aro noted chiefly by photography and aro in teresting to professional astrono mers only for 'heir eccentricities. It has been found, for example, by a computation made at tho IJar vard observatory that ono of them approaches nearer to the sun than any other known planet and at tho same time describes a greater ellipse around that body. This special as teroid was originally discovered on one of tho photographic plates tak en at Arequipa, the southern sta tion of thc Harvard observatory, from which the entire sky south of the equator and extending to the antarctic pole is photographed as a matter of routine once every month. Astronomers do not take any spe cial delight in finding asteroids, which, in fact, cause moro troublo than they are worth, since, once dis covered, they have to be first cata logued and then constantly watched in order to keep them in their prop er relation to tho other heavenly bodies in the more essential busi ness of cataloguing the important stars. One. German observatory ac cordingly makes a Specialty of tak ing care of all asteroids and wherev er found carefully numbers, names and describes them as rapidly SB possible f OT tho benefit of other as tronomers with other work to do. British Bulls. Englishmen aro as apt to perpe trate bulls as Irishmen. Here are a couple that were exhibited at a par liamentary election : "Expenditure on so vast a scale/ proclaimed one speaker who was urging national economy, "will in time empty even tho inexhaustible coffers of Britain and convince her reckless legislators too late, when the mare is stolen, that they must close that barn door through which for years the flood of extravagance has poured unchecked/' The Becond speaker did even bet ter, although it is fair to allow something for a man who, hooted down by a derisive opposition, is naturally too excited and indignant to carefully consider his words. "Gentlemen, gentlemen/' he pro tested. "The cry of thc cat, the crow of the cock and the hiss of the gander are not argument. True, they may for the time overwhelm the teeble voice of one man in their roaring tide, but not all their lea guered forces, howsoever armed and arrayed for combat, shall avail final ly to extinguish that beacon torch' of Experience, still gripped fast and held high in his unfaltering hand to guide safely through the breakers the straining eyes of posterity !" Wherefore? "Huh!" growled the cynical celi bate to the beanringBenedict. "Huh ! you seem to know all about women you do. Can you tell me why a pigeon toed woman is always duller of perception than one who isn't? And why would a woman rather be pretty than anything else? And why doeB a girl always giggle when she talks to a man? And why can' women pass a mirror without look ing into it? And why are women so much more particular about the outside of their heads than they aro of the inside ? And why do women so much more admire bad men whom they love than they do good men who love them ? And why do wom en dislike women in the same ratio that they like men ? And why is it that women, who are meant to bo heaven's best gift to man, ain't al ways ? Say, tell me those, will you?* -Philadelphia North American. Value of Mud.

"No man will be a sailor," said Dr. Johnson, "who has contrivance enough to get himself into jail." Dr. John Bon was, however, a landsman, while many of the following expressions are the opinions of seafaring people. "He who trusts himself on the sea io either a fool, or he is poor, or he wants to die." This Gallicism is no strongor than the following saying, by the mar ime Dutchmen: "Better on the heath with an old cart than at sea with new ship." "Better walk poor than to sail rich," says the Spaniard, and in tho same spirit his Italian neighbor responds, "Praise tho sea but stay on shore." Another maritime nation, tho Danish, gives us this strong opinion: "Ono penny is better on land than ten at sea." "Tho sea has no branohes (to cling to), therefore it is better to stay on shore," and the French rustics agree with them: "Admire the sea as much as you will, but don't stir from tho cowsheds." The Arab fears the sea as much to-day as he did in thc fifteenth century, when -he thought the hand of Satan would arise from the "Sea of Darkness" to seize his frail bark. "It is better," says he,-''to hear the belching of the camel than the prayers of the fish;" and he further outlines the dangerous nature of the element when he says: "The sea has a tender st-^ach, but a head hard as wood." \A facetious work a century old has it thus: "The ship is a fool, for it moves continual ly; the sailor is-a fool, for he ohanges his mind with every breeze; the water is a fool, for it is never still; the wind is a fool,[for it blows without ceasing. Let ns make an end at onoe of navi gation." How to Cure the Grip. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as di rected and a quijk reoovery is sure to follow.
