king was reloading muzzle loaders arc

young asses aro ofton taken with grey
hounds Tho mothers aro shot from the

ho never shoots flying for fear of wasting
his charge is a very good shot from the
Baddlc nnd will often kill antelope or other

Ono of tho funniest incidents of any
railroad wreck that I over saw and thoro
aro alwqys funny things that ono remem
bers about a railroad disaster was that of
a man who was on my train whon it ran
through a misplaced switch at Rlversido
and collided with a freight train standing
on tho Bldo track It was a terrible
smash up Amos McDanicls tho engi
neer saved his llfo by jumping from Ills
engine beforo it struck tho freight train
but Andy McGlenn tho fireman was
caught between tho tank and tho boiler
head of tho engino where ho was held
fast nllvo but with his legs both crushed
and cooked As soon as tho passcngors
found that not ono of them was hurt thoy
swarmed out and began helping to get
poor Andy out of his tcrrlblo piison I
noticed ono passenger who worked liko a
hero lifting and pulling and straining to
get Andy out yot all tho tlmo using ono
hand as if it wcro crippled I noticed it
sovernl times and paid a good deal moro
heed to it than you would expect n man to
under such circumstances but dont you
know undor tho most exciting conditions
a mans mind will hit upon botuo such llt
tlo thing nnd never let go pf it Well I
noticed that mun novcr opened hla hand
to tako hold of whatever ho was going to
lift but put Ids wrist undor it nnd kept
Ids thumb nnd fingers together
After wo had got Andy out nnd thoy
had carried him to tho depot I stood talk
ing with this passenger who was as whlto
as n sheet and so much excited that ho
could hardly put words togothcr
Is your liand crippled I asked
No Bald ho quite astonished nnd
holding it up whero I could bco it ho be
trayed tho fact that all this tlmo ho had
been clinging with his thumb and first An
ger to n pin with which ho was just fast
ening his necktlo down when tho collision
occurred And one of tho funniest parts
of tho whole porformanco was thp fact
tliat as soon as ho hold up his hand nnd
saw tho pin ho went right on pinning tho
necktlo down as if nothing had happened

rulmonury Diseases In Berlin
Tho death rate from pulmonary dis
eases increases nlarmlnglyin Berlin from
year to year Tho climate is certainly un
favorable for nil with tho least tendoncy
to weak lungs Tho atmosphcro has a
greater percentage of moisturo than that
of almost any other city on tho conti

early morning tho mist is bo denso that
onos clothes becomo damp and his Bkln
unpleasantly moist Tho streets oven in
tho hot months of summer aro seldom
dry but usually dank and wet emitting
n vapor which frightens tho weak lnngcd
Catarrh has been called tho enrso ot
America but Berlin pcoplo easily hold
their own in that complaint It Is safo to
say that every ono has a cold from tho
beginning of October till tho end of April
nnd oven during tho summer months
owing to tho chnngenblo weather few aro
entirely exempt Though tho weather has
been exceedingly damp as already stated
no snow has yet fallen nnd winter under
clothing has been unnecessary Last
year sovcrol inches ot snow lay on tho
ground on Thanksgiving day
Tho country for miles about Berlin is
flat and unbroken as a western pralrio
and tho ground being very sandy Berlin
in fact Is built upon sand tho roads aro
very heavy whero not well cared for
which however is tho exception rather
than tho rule Tho statistics ot tho
Moablto hospital recently published show
that no less than ono flfth of tho inmates
aro consumptives In this hospital nlono
tho number of lung diseased patients
reached CBO being Boventy four moro than
lust year and 180 per cent of all who
had been undor treatment against 100
per cent in 1885 Tho death rate roso as
high as 422 por cent only S3 1- per
cent being discharged as cured Upon
tho whole tho number Is not encouraging

tainly dcplornblo considering tho annual
Increase of tho population Berlin Cor

only tho chambermaid Sho stands bolt
upright and as rigid as a corpse Her
faco la tho wttcr vacuity of expression
Sho says Gutcn tag or Gutcn abend
in u sudden way that Is not exactly
explosive It gives you tho im
pression that she has dropped something
very heavy and you involuntarily recoil
and look down to see what it is
If you go to buy a glass of Boda water
in tho Untcr don Linden tho woman in tho
kiosk fires off nn unexpected Gutcn tag
to you If you enter n shop it is flung nt
you on nil sides So also when you go in
or out of your hotel when you go to pub
lic institutions suoh as hatha or when
you go Into tho hotel dining room Every
body utters the salutation appropriate to
tho tlmo of day and as the employes nro
numerous you aro thundorcd at in front
and rear and on cither flank till your en
trance or exit seems liko tho advance or
rctrogrndo movoment of tho light brigade
It is simply perfunctory Nobody smiles
no ono moves tho body or nods tho head
as in Franco or in Italy In Austria it is

ployes aro moro numerous and quite as
mechanical Tho Hungarians aro soino

upon either a platform or vory high chair

and put in a pertinent sentence hero and
thero in tho interview between tho poet
nnd reporter Sho called hor guest Ella
and thoy wcro on delightful terms of com
panionship Sho can write in n room
crowded with persons all talking sho

Yes said tho vivacious poetess I
learned to do that at homo I was brought
up in n humble home and wrote in tho sit
ting room where it was simply a question
whether my comfort or that of tho rest of
tho family was to bo considered I easily
acquired tho faculty for writing in a room
in which tho children wcro at play und tho
older folks wero talking or reading or at
waik I began to write nt 14 yon know
Not long ngo I was visiting a friend in
Connecticut und there wcro Bovcral persons
iu tho room but nono expected nnythlng
of me so that when I was belzed with an
idea for somo verses I cleared a llttlo spaco
on tho center table nnd sat down and wrote
my poem
And was it finished without rovislonr
Oh yes I seldom need to alter what
I write I havo what I want to write
