REVERSEE-BY A COLLISION.
Aa Old Brakeman Tells of a Queer Ra!
* road Accident la the West.
"The most remarkable wreck I w;
ever in," said an old brakeman to
. ' Louisville Courier-Journal man, "ha
pened on the Short line between Pew?
And Beard's some years ago. It was
freight wreck. I had charge of the I
I Grange accommodation and was hour
in to Louisville. We were followir
hard upon the trail of train No. 3
also bound for Louisville. Train X
14 was coming in our direction. It ha
been delayed some minutes at Pewe
but expected to make up the time ar
sidetrack between Pewee and Beard
on schedule time, so that train No. i
would have the right of way.
"The delay was what caused th
trouble. The sidetrack I am tellin
you about was just behind and under
hill. Train No. 14 had just backed o
to the sidetrack, and before the switc?
man could shift the switch train N<
82 came dashing around the hill. Th
engineer saw the danger. He turne
down the throttle with a hard shov
and whistled 'down brakes.' His e:
forts were of no use, however. Trai
No. S3 turned in on the sidetrack an
went crashing into No. 14. All th
cars of the train, fourteen, wer
stripped off the track as clean as i
they had been peas in a pod. Th
v shock of the two trains meeting was
of course, terrific The whole of trai]
No. 82, including the locomotive, top
pied off the track. Remarkable as i
may seem, only the cars of No. 14 wer
thrown off the track.
"When the two trains struck the en
gineer of No. 14 had his hand on th*
throttle, about to stop his train. Tb
shock threw him out of the cab and th<
wrench threw open the throttle agaii
and reversed the engine. When th?
cars had been stripped off the track th<
locomotive went "wild' down the traci
toward La Grange. We of the IA
Grange accommodation had by thi
time neared the curve. I was at th<
head of the train as lookout. I hear(
the sound of a locomotive approaching
and signaled the engineer of our trail
to reverse his engine. He had hardlj
time to jump to the throttle when th?
wild locomotive crashed into us. I wa?
thrown, I reckon, fifty feet, and came
out bf it with two broken legs. No one
else was hurt, but the La Grange ac?
commodation was a day late. No, 1
dont railroad any more."
. -"-w HERE AND THERE.
-
-Dont fail to provide for thc haj
crop. It will pay better than cotton at
prices probable next fall.
-It is not hogs, nor cattle, nor cot?
ton that will bring prosperity to the
south, but a variety of products, and
P the greater the better.
-It costs no more to grow and feed
a good sheep than it does a poor one,
and it costs no more to market a good
clip of wool than a poor one,
-The male exerts the strongest in?
fluence upon the offspring of all classes
of stock, and for this reason a pure?
bred male is of the utmost importance
and especially so when striving to im?
prove.
-No matter how low horses may be
in the market, a good team on the
farm is just as essential now as they
ever were, and are worth as much to
the average farmer.
-The peanut is a native of Brazil,
but early after the discovery of that
country it was introduced into Africa
and other tropical parts of the old
world, where it became a staple article
of food, lt was only in the .second
half of this century that it became aa
important crop in this country.
-When southern trucksters embark
more extensively in potato growing,
potato planting and harvesting ma?
chinery will lind ready sale in tin's sec?
tion. Instead of buying potatoes out?
side we should suppl}* many less
favored sections-and with good profit
to our planters.
-It is not the broad acres under
fence that makes the farmer prosper?
ous, but the amount of intelligent
labor applied per acre. Some of the
poorest farmers we ever knew were
those who spread their labor as a
miser bunters his bread-very thinly
over a large area. And many a
prosperous larmer has a small held
veli tilled, and has n^ especial need
f)r large patrimonial estate the other
?ide of lae lenee.
^ IT?e laced Bodice.
Women who have lender, graceful
figures will be quite willing to adopt
the revived fashion of lacing the bodice
at the back. Many dressmakers con?
sider that a moderately full figure
looks well also in this style of waist,
provided it is deeply pointed front and
back, as the lacing or buttoning makes
a defined line or break across the back,
imparting a slender effect. Invisible
fastenings are, however, still in highest
favor, and are likely to continue in
vogue during the spring and summer.
The seam on the left shoulder and the
one under the left arm are utilized by
most dressmakers to provide means of
egress and ingress to the wearer. But
this is only one of many ways of clos?
ing the bodice. Ma u v of the waists
are still so cunningly fastened as to
make one wonder as to how the wearer
gets in and out of the garment.-N. Y.
