ENGINEER'S LAST RUN. His Story of How He Lived His Life All Over In a Flash. Louisville Courier Journal. "Drowning is not the only experi ence that causes a man to read his own biography in the flash of a sec .ond." said F. C. Roberts, a locomotive engmecr. "I was running on the passenger trains between Atlanta and Macon --everal years ago, and I was to meet the northbound train at a certain sta tion on the road. Wel]. it was all my fault. I hadn't slept any for five nights. and the only rest I had was in my cab. The last stop that we made before this experience of which I speak, the fireman had to wake me when the signal to go ahead was re ceived. I had gone to sleep in my cab. ''As we approached the next station the conductor may have signalled me as he claimed he did. but we dashed through the town at about forty miles an hour before I heard the down brakes signal. The minute I heard it I saw the headlight of the northbound train less than 300 yeards away com ing around a curve. . I threw on the air brakes and reversed, but it all looked too late. The fireman jumped, but I was paralyzed. The two great engines, one bearing a special- train, rushed together like angry bulls, and I was frozen there, and while those trains rushed together, I saw c 'ery incident of my life just as plainly as the day it happened. That's all I know about it. "They took me to the hospital, and nine days later I woke up after a spell of brain fever. The trains stop ped so close together that the pilots were sprung out of place, but other wise there was no damage. They had to get a new engineer beiore my train pulled out, though, and that was the last time I ever pulled a throttle." Knew About Cleanliness. When the late ex-Speaker Thoma-s B. Reed was in California says the Youth's Companion. he visited the Lick observator, on Mount Hamil ton. It was a wonderful November day, full of gold and the bloom of flowers. Mr. Reed looked down at the gorgeous landscape 4,000 feet be low, and, turning to one of his hosts, he said: "Colonel, this looks too much like a special display got up in honor of the occasion. Tell me what ,a typi cal winter day in California is really like." The Californian thought at once of a day in February, so warm that after a morning bath he had lain in a hammock outdoors, smelled the roses on fie. trellis and listened to the thrill of the meadow lark among the almond blooms. He began to describe it eloquent ly: "Thirteen years ago, on Febru ary zz, I took a bath--" H e paused to arrange his account of the roses and the meadow lark. Mr. Reed broke the pause. "Well, colonel." he said, in admira tion, "you do know something about cleanliness~ out here, don't you?" Method in His Madness. A visitor to the St. Louis exposi tion congratulated Joseph W. Folk, the district attorney of the city, upon -rhe speed with which he had brought the "boodle aldermen" to trial, says the San Antonia Express. "Speed." said Mr. Folk, smiling, "is an excellent thing, a thing that will achieve wonders. I lieard the other day of an Irishman, though, who ex pected too much speed. "This Irishman was a painter. Us ually being paid by the hour, he wvork ed rather slowly, but a friend found him painting one clay like a steam en !onle. "The friends paused to investigate so strange a matter. "~ -What's come over ye, McGuire?' he. said. 'ht ain't like you to work that fast.' " Whist.' said McGuire. 'Stand oot of the way and don't shtop me. Oi'm shtrivin' to get through befur me paint gives out." Senator Dick, of Ohio, found time from his political duties to tell this story: "An old frend up home cautioned me not to get too much worked up bad company and mad dogs. I am trying to carry out the good man's advice, and speaking of mad dogs re minds me of a proclamation issued by the mayor of Dayton, my state, a number of years ago. Rabid dogs were numerous and the excitement was great. The mayor believed in something heroic. so he published this: " 'I hereby issue my proclamation to the people of Dayton. warning them that it is unlawful for any per harboring any dog, or animal of the son owning, or having control of. or dog kind. to run at large for the term of sixty days from the publication of this proclamation, without being properly muzzled.'"
