Twelve boys took an abandoned hand car and placed it on the Lackawanna tracks near the Paterson station. By chance the station agent saw them speeding by and telegraphed to a tow erman a mile away at Paterson Junc tion to stop thern. The towerman knew that an express was just behind the boys and opened a switch, throwing them and their stolen car down an em bankment then he closed the switch as the express came around the curve behind them, and little they knew that they had thrown dice with death and won, thanks to the foresight of these HE WOULDN'T LIE HONEST ABE GROSSMAN HONEST GOODS BY HONEST ABE THE HUB CLOTHING STORE Minnesota Ave. Bemidji, Minn.

In the news account the name of the towerman was not even mentioned, but he has twelve lives to his credit, and twelve homes have been spared.from mourning, and twelve boys are given another chance to finish their careers. We get so accustomed to the men on the job that we forget what part the integrity of the workman plays in the mechanism of modern life, from the man in the tower to the trackwalker, from the, engineer to the chief dis patcher. If all these cogs were not true and working in unison every minute in the hour, where would the safety of our lives be?

A farmer living at Lapford, England, dreamed thrice in succession that he saw a pit dug in one of his fields and some of his property cast into it. At the third time of dreaming he got up, dressed and went out. He heard the thud of a spade and caught sight of a man digging by lantern light. The digger fled at his approach. It was a grave upon which he had been at work. By its brink lay a huge knife. On his way back the farmer met one of his maidservants. She had had a quarrel with the man to whom she had been engaged, she said, but he had prevailed upon her to meet him for the last time at 2 o'clock that morning, when he had something to shew her. "This is what he had to show you," said the farmer, leading her to the grave.London Tat- FUNERAL DIRECTOR M. E.

The long life of CERTAIN-TEED is due to the fact that it does not dry out, as ordinary roofing does.
