"Big Four" pulled into Beaver Mead?
ows on the Rome-Watertown division,
and Joseph Brader and his wife got
down from the passenger coach that
was trailing behind six "flats" of rails.
Br-der was sis feet four and broad,
and his wife was five feet and narrow.
? Brader carried a huge valise tbat cost
a dollar and had done service, also an ?
-as. Mrs. Brader wore mitts and a j
plaintive, piquant smile. In her eyes ;
there was a standing apology for the j
4isparity in their sizes. This seemed
to be a sore point with the little wo?
man, for she was ever on the alert for
the quizzing glances of strangers, and
j? one should stand apart and glance
at the odd couple he was sure to have
, 3ds gaze arrested ?fy a plaintive glance j
from the woman which said as plainly
..as speech, "Please don't make fun of
as."
But the man never bothered his head
about what other folks thought He
"was a woodchopper, and thafs all he
'knew or cared. Next to his wife he
loved his ax, and it used to be his
jpride that he could put a keen enough
edge on it to shave with. He used to
Jay his cheek fondly against the purple
Wade and pat it and call it his darling.
And the ax seemed to understand him,
for it would bark with quick delight
when his giant arms -swung it aloft and
bite the maple and bury its nose to the
point where the tempered steel joined
the softer stuff.
When Brader got off ,the train, he
looked around in a sort of inquisitive,
defiant way and put his hand clumsily
around his wife and drew her shoulder
-?ver against his thigh. There was no
one at the depot but the agent, a vet?
eran in the business, the tenure of
whose position was due to five toes
that he had years before contributed
to the annual list of accidents on the
road. Smith had heard that Brader
was coming to take the place of one of
the striking woodchoppers, and it filled
him with grave concern. Almost all of
his relatives belonged to the strikers,
and his sympathies were deeply with
them. On the other hand, it fell to his
lot to show ostentatious loyalty to the
company. Beaver Meadows was the
chief "woodin' up" point of the road.
For miles the contiguous country yield?
ed nothing from its stubborn soil save
-stunted .beech and knotted maple.
The president of the company that
?applied the railroad with wood was
-Smith's backer. A nod from him would
nave dislodged that worthy from the
comfortable niche that afforded him a
comfortable living. So Smith was be?
tween the devil and the deep sea His
heart was with the strikers, his inter?
est with the company. That's why his
asually placid mind was filled with
-perturbation when he beheld the lum
"bering form of Joseph Bruder and the
?diminutive wife alight from the ca?
boose of Big Four.
Bruder had an arm as long as his
"wife's tongue and could fell at a blow
-either kind of jackass, human or
brute. Mrs. Bruder was the brains of
the outfit. She took charge of the
money, when there was any. allowing
Joseph only enough for tobacco. Oth?
erwise he was a teetotaler. On the
whole, this strange couple was deemed
a combination to be avoided. No one
ever knew where they came from. On
that score Bruder himself was silent,
with a persistency that defied all the
.subtle influences of bucolic diplomacy.
Surmise said he was an ex-convict.
3ind as chapter and verse of his past
were not forthcoming this comfortable
theory crystallized into a very good
counterfeit of fact.
When the woodchoppers learned that
Joe Bruder was coming to take Cy Sel
den's job. they knew there would be
trouble, for they were a determined
lot. There was an understanding, how?
ever, a sort of feeling, although no
words had been spoken, that somehow
Smith would settle matters, and so
it was determined that no one from
among the strikers should meet Bruder
at the depot and attempt by moral or
muscular force to turn him back.
Smith knew what was expected of
him by his friends and relatives; he
also knew that the suspicious eyes of
the president were upon him,and hence
the delicacy of his position. Ile hated
l>eing "double faced." but he had a
Tery comfortable niche indeed, and
times were exceedingly hard in those
parts. He reflected with considerable
disgust that it was quite unjust that
he, who had no personal interest in the
matter, should be the one upon whose
shoulders the task of adjusting the af?
fair should be thrust.
That explains why Smith was per?
turbed upon the arrival of Mr. and
Mrs. Joseph Bruder. It also explains
why he alone was at the depot to meet
the distinguished pair. It is an axiom
that good luck always comes to the
lazy. Smith was a lazy man. which
accounts for the piece of good luck
.which came to him on the morning of
the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Bruder.
Bab Armstrong's two-year-old baby
"boy had died of oho lera morbus a few
days before, and the sorrowing par?
ents, who were farmers, bad put the
little creature in a simple pine box and
were sending him down the road to be
bcried in the Armstrong family bury?
ing ground at West Camden. The tiny
morsel of humanity was at that mo?
ment resting in the freightroom of the
Beaver Meadows depot.
As Smith limped down tho platform
toward Mr. and Mrs Joseph Bruder he
looked through the open door of the
freightroom and ^o: his inspiration.
TLen he accost cd Snider.
"Waitin'_f?r Harris' .team, ain't ycr?"
Bruaer looked at his wifer _anu
said, "Yes."
"Goin' ter work on the job, ain't
yer?"
Again Bruder looked at bis wife, and
again she said, "Yes."
"Well, I'm right glad ter see yer,"
said the unconscionable diplomat ef?
fusively. "I tell yer, we've been Lavin*
g*eat goin's on aroun' here."
Again Broker looked at his wife, and
again she said "Yes" softly and press?
ed a little closer under the shelter of
his mighty thigh.
"Between you and me," continued
the wily Smith, "these woodchoppers
I mean the Beaver Meadow fellers."
he hastened to explain as a slight con?
traction of Bruder's forehead warned
him that any slur upon the craft would
not be welcome-"don't know when
they're well off."
He paused, and Brader looked at his
wife, but she remained silent.
"Of course I ain't got.nov.nin* against
these men here, and it may not sound
well comin' from me, me bein' in the
employ of this corporation, as ain't sup?
posed ter show no partiality^ but seems
ter me these men is a little unreason?
able. Yer see," he went on as neither
Bruder nor his wife spoke, "times have
been pretty hard around here, with
crops failin'*and a good deal of sick?
ness in the neighborhood, and I think
these men ought to been glad to get
steady employment Of course they're
really in the power of the company,
cos tliey ain't got no money, and the
officers knows It, and so they cuts
down their wages. Now, some of 'em
finds out that the big fellers is makin'
dead loads of money, and so they
makes a big kick and goes on strike.
So th? company jest shuts down, and I
heard the superintendent say as that
they was goin' to start a process of
starvation. Of course I don't want
that to go no further."
"Did they company treat the men
fair?" asked Mrs. Bruder.
"Of course it did," said Smith quick?
ly. "Ain't they got a right to pay their
money out any way they like? Couldn't
these men pick up and leave if they
didn't like it?"
"Most of these men has their own
homes, hasn't they?" asked Mrs. Bin?
der.
"Yes; they has," said Smith, "but if
they keeps on this way they won't
have no one left in their homes." Then
he added as he walked toward the of?
fice: "Ye'd better come in and sit
down. Harris' team may not be here
for an hour yet They generally comes
ter meet the down train. 'Big Four' is '
waitin' here fer it ter pass."
He adroitly halted the couple in
front of the open door of the freight
room,, and instantly the maternal eye
of Mrs. Bruder caught the little coffin.
"Whose is that?" she asked.
"That's Cy Selden's baby," said
Smith, lying heroically.
Mrs. Bruder looked at her husband,
then back to Smith. "What ailed it?"
she asked. "Cholera morbus?"
Smith ' drew closer and lowered his
voice a bit. "That's what they give
out." he said, "but between you and
me it didn't have enough ter eat."
Just then Smith found sudden busi?
ness in the ticket office, where he re?
mained until he heard the booming of
the down train, when he went out on
to the platform to pass up the mails.
He lingered for a moment and watch?
ed "Big Four" pull out from the sid?
ing: then he looked all around. There
was no one in sight.
"How'd yer do it Bill?" asked Jack
Lundy that night while a half dozen
strikers smoked and listened.
"I didn't do nothin', and I don't
know nothin'," snapped Smith. "They
come, and they've gone, ain't they?"
And then to modify the rebuke the good
soul continued in a tone that smacked
suspiciously of tenderness as he puffed
his pipe reflectively in the darkness:
"Strange: I used to know those folks
years ago-didn't know it till terday
they was a good deal younger then
just married. I guess-they were pret?
ty poor-had a little baby that died-I
don't know, but folks aroun' there said
the little thing died-cos it didn't
get-enough-ter eat"
A Pretty Big Tiger.
Old Dickey S., a very wealthy but j
very illiterate East India merchant in \
London, took a pair of compasses and
set about examining a large map of
India, the margin of which was illus- j
trated with drawings of the wild and
domestic animals of the country.
Suddenly Dickey dropped the com?
pass in amazement "It can't be! It
ain't in the border of nature that it
should be! Impossible! Ridiculous!"
"Why. Dickey, what's the matter?"
"Wot's the matter? Vy, this Bengal
tiger is ninety miles long!"
Dickey had measured the tiger by the
scale of the map.
Electric Centfpeds.
Least attractive among the insects
which give light are the so called
"electric centipeds" - black crawlers
wita many legs, which have been lik?
ened to serpents' skeletons in minia?
ture. They move in a snakelike fash?
ion, forward or backward, leaving be?
hind them a bright track of phosphor?
ic light. However, they are most ac?
customed to appear in the daytime,
when the illumination they afford is
not visible.

CUPOLA OF ST. PETER'S.
It? Outline Remains an Unparalleled
Idea In Architecture.
The greatest of the architectural en?
terprises Michael Angelo was called up?
on to take up was tho completing of
St. Peter's, and ho devoted himself
through pure obedience to this task,
refusing all compensation, offering his
unpaid services in that way both to
his master and to the service of reli?
gion.
He had to struggle against the op?
posing ideas of the architects in charge
of the monument, who held by later
plans than these of the first deviser,
and their enmity and misapprehension
of what was best aimed at a continual
thwarting of all his intentions. He
managed, however, to bring back the
building to its original plan, tb of .j
his greatest enemy. Bramante, upon
whom he has left this noble judgment.;
"It cannot be denied," said he, "that
Bramante laid the first plan of St. Pe
ter's clear and simple, and all who
have departed from his scheme have
departed from the truth."
We have not the great cathedral as j
Michael wished it. nor can we see in
it the creation of his genius. But the
one thing that Michael Angelo left to
his successors in the work is the cupo?
la, whose outline remains as an unpar?
alleled idea, as important a landmark
in architecture as his other records of
achievement in painting and sculpture.
It is the mark of Rome and the ex?
pression of Rome's grandeur.-John La
Farge in McClure's.
The Pelican Smiled.
There is a sly old pelican in Central
park which has an almost human way
of noticing what goes on about him
without seeming to do so. The other
day two herons in the same cage with
him fought over a fish. One had made
the catch, but the other had under?
taken to wrest the morsel from its
rightful possessor.
They squabbled over it like two boys
who have hold of the same baseball
bat. The scuffle brought them into the
neighborhood of the old pelican, who
stood, apparently asleep, with his big
bili tucked away under a wing. Then
the heron dropped its fish, and the bat?
tle went on.
No sooner had it been dropped than
the great bill came out from under?
neath the wing and the fish went into
the pelican's pouch. Then the head dis?
appeared again. The pelican was
plainly asleep.
When one heron gave up the fight
and flew away, the other looked about
for the prize. It was nowhere to be
seen. The keeper of the bird cages sol?
emnly asserts that he saw a twinkle
in the eye which the pelican opened to
give a glance at the retreating heron.
New York Times,
Peculiar Roses.
One of the wars of the roses, the
fiercest and deadliest of them all. was
fought on a field where, curiously
enough, a rose peculiar to the spot
grows or used to grow. It Is a rare
plant now. and the reason is explained
by Mr. Leadman in his account of
Yorkshire battles. After describing
the terrible battle at Towton on Palm
Sunday. 14G1. be says: "1 cannot con?
clude this story of Towton field with?
out an allusion to the little dwarf
bushes peculiar to the 'Field of the
White Rose and the Red.'
"They are said to have been plenti?
ful at the commencement of this cen?
tury, but the visitors have taken them
away in such numbers that they have ,
become rare. Such vandalism is. sim?
ply shameful, for the plants are said
to be unique and unable to exist in any
other soil. The little roses are white,
with a red spot on the center of each
of their petals, and as they grow old
the under surface becomes a dull red
color."-London News.
Cave Animals.
No animals whatever are found in
the dry parts of caves. Dampness or
a certain degree of moisture seems to
be essential to their existence. Under
the stones one finds white, eyeless
worms, and in the damp soil all around
about are to be discovered blind beetles
in little holes which they excavate and
bugs of the thousand leg sort These
thousand leg bugs, which in the upper
world devour fragments of dead leaves
and other vegetable debris, sustain life
in the caverns by feeding upon decay?
ed wood, fungous growths and bats'
dung. Kneeling in. a beaten path one
can see numbers of them gathered
about hardened drips of tallow from
tourists' candles. There are plenty of
crickets also.
A Varnishing Tip.
When varnishing wood, the work
must be done in a warm room at a tem?
perature of at least 75 degrees F. At a
lower temperature the moisture in the
air will give a milky and cloudy ap?
pearance to the varnish. On the other
hand, at the higher temperature the
moisture is not precipitated until the
alcohol of the varnish has sufficiently
evaporated to leave a thin smooth film
of shellac. The durability and gloss are
dependent on this.
