THE EMPEROR'S EE1
Emperor William has astonished
pnd disgusted Germany by writing in
:hs Golden Book at Munich "The will
or the Emperor is the supreme law."
Something is however to be excused
to the hot Wood of youth suddenly
exalted to the supreme head of a great
nation. If the Emperor would take
that excellent remedy Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure he would be
relieved from these troubles. There
is nothing that will cure a cold or the
resulting maladies that come from it
so sxn or so well as Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. This great
remedy will heal every trouble either
in the throat or lungs that arises from
a cold. In this respect it is unrivaled.
When you ask for this at your drug
gist's see that you get Reid's and take
no other. Every other remedy on the
market for the relief of these maladies
contain opiates in some form. There
is nothing of the kind in Reid's. See
that you get it.

TIJAIX KOBBERS.
Engineer Jim Tolls of the Express
Messenger's Fidelity.
We were sitting1 in the sun on the
south side of the Montana union depot,
in ltutte. when .litn told the story.
There was a tremor in his voice and a
moisture in Ms eyes that marked how
deeply his feelings were moved ly the
tale a chance remark led him to tell.
Kveryone who knows Jim Cook and
who doesn't know the rojrjjod engineer,
one of the oldest men in the I n ion Pa
cific service? knows that his heart is
built in proportion o his massive
frame. Touch him rip it, and no wom
an cmld be more tender; rile him, ami
no grizzly could be mow tierce. Jim
has seen exciting' times in the service
of the I'nion Pacific, and iis mind is
stored with reminiscences of the early
days of transcontinental railroading.
Ve had been chatting; in a rambling,
desultory way of snow-bound trains,
when the subject was suddenly shifted
and I happened to mention the robbery
of a Northern Pacific train near Karjfo.
Jim's manner changed insUtntl.y.
He had been leaning forward, resting
bis elbows on his knees and supporting
his chin with the palms of his hands.
Nou he sat bolt upright; his eyes
flashd anil his whole manner seemed
to indicate that his brain was conceiv
ing a Hood of eloquence his tongiie
could not fashion into words. One
could mm; tragedy in his face, but the
next minute the expression changed to
one of pity. Then he began to talk.
wish an auiMiuate idea of ins manner
of telling it could be given with h
story. lie seemed to see the thing he
was descrihin
"Hold up.M said he. 'I never was in
but one, and never hear of one that
doesn't call np the ghost of poor Charlie
hitc to haunt me. i harhc was an
express guard in the early da vs. A
X luckier little man never breathed. H
had lieen a telegraph operator in "Fris
co before he got on our run. and I
knew him first rate. Knew his wife
too. for he was married a little pink
r.nd white wax-doll sort of woman who
looked like a saint. We had long runs
in those days. Our division Charlie
changed with me extended from 'Fris
co to I (I've forgotten the station
named by Jim.)
1me afternoon we left at J:20 as
we were pulling out of the depot at
'Frisco I got the bell. As I brought
b-T to a stand 1 saw the Wells-Fargo
man run up to the express car and
bund Charlie a square tin box with a
rip handle. Looking hack as she got
her head again 1 saw the express agent
make a motion to Charlie. Leaning
balf out the dMir Charlie slapped his licit
and smiled.
Just beyond them J saw something
else two rough-looking, boarded men,
swinging np one after another on the
rvar platform of the last car. Then I
thought nothing of it; afterward I
knew they had Wen shadowing the
express agent.
'All afternoon I had an uneasy feel
ing, hvery engineer is a bit supersti
tious, I suppose, and I remember that
I wondered if my uneasiness wasn't a
premonition of bad luck. We ran along
without mishap during the earlv even
ing, but when we stopped to take water
alKiut nine o'clock I caught sight of a
dark figure stealing along in the shadow
of the express.
'1 called to Tom, niv fireman, to see
ho it was but when he turned it was
gone. 1 his did 11 1 lother me much at
thtime; it might have Wen a brakie
or the conductor, but I hadn't noticed
anv lantern.
"While we were tearing away again
nt a pretty good pace 1 suddenly caught
a clicking sound like the putting on of
brakes. It was a trine up grade at
that point and I hadn't called for 'cm.
idling Tom to keep going as she was.
J climbed back over the tender to see !
what was the matter.
'Inst as I got to the rear I noticed
a widening gap Wtween the tender and
the express and realized that we were
uncoupled and that the bell rope had
leen cut; at the same time I saw one of
the bearded men standing at the brake
wheel of the express. He had me cov
er, d with a six-shooter.
As I clambered back to the cab
heard a shot; then half a dozen of them
in quick succession. Iioad agents!'
Torn yelled in my ear as I took the
lever. I brought her up us quick as
J could and held her ready to run for
ward or backward as circumstances
m'ght decide.
"luc tram had almost come to a
standstill, when I saw a gleam of light
cut through the night about midway
of the car. Then that streak of light
was darkened by the lengthened
shadow of a man, which moved cross
wise of the train and seemed to melt
out into the night.
4" l!et back, Charlie!" I yelled, for I
thought he was about to look out for
the cause of our stopping.
'Open your head again and I'll
blow it off, said a voice beside me.
Turning. I saw a man at each of the
cah's front windows. They had jumped
upon the pilot and crept back along
side of the boiler.
" There seemed to be a dozen of the
roblers. Not more than two had come
on the train. I am sure. The whole
thing had lieen planned. Those near
the engine, with the exception of the
two at the cab windows, made a rush
for thee reft car. As they ran into the
stream of light coming through the
open door a shot fired from the dark-
ss to the left of the train tumbled
one of them to the ground. The others
fusilladed the spot from which the
shot appeared to come, and then two
shots fired under the train from the
other side, and another shot from away
out in the dark, laid one of tee thieves
out cold and caused another one to
bowl.
The trainmen were beginning' to
fight. My blood got warm. I had a
pood six-shooter under the scat, and if
that feUovr a( tha cab window had
only taken his eye off me for a moment
I'd been oat there helping the boys.
Those, at the rear of the train then
joined those in front, and all made a
dash at the open .door of the express.
They were all in a bunch in the light.
Thc first man to enter the door
stood a moment and then fell back out
side in the crowd. The shot came
from the darkness away out to the
left Another man tried it- As he fell
on his face in the car, the others, who
had been watchtnr, fired a volley at
the flash away off in the dark. The
next man who tried to enter the car
succeeded.
"The others kept watch until he re
appeared at the door. Something was
wrong. Two others got in to help him
Then one of them whistled, and my
raau at the window jumped off and ran
baek to the train.
'That was my chance. Out came
the gun from under the seat, and I got
a snap shot at Tom's man, but missed
hi in. Ashe turned on me Tom struck
his arm with a wrench, knocking the
pistol from his hand, lie jumped off
into the darkness. We backed her
slowly up toward the train, firing as
we went.
"Suddenly a dark form rose up on
Tom's side of the track and threw
something into the tender. Tom and I
both fired at the man. He staggered
up against the cab steps and groaned.
Then by a superhuman effort he caught
the hand-rail, and just as we were pre
paring to give him another shot he
dragged his face into the light.
"It was Charlie! We both had hit
him!
" 'Pull out, .Tim, and save the box!
"That was all he said. It was the
box he had thrown into the tender.
No matter how much there was in it,
the stuff wasn't worth the life of the
boy who saved it to the company.
While I lifted Charlie np into the scat
Tom threw the old engine wide open
and we ran away from the train rob
bers and all.
'It was forty miles to the nearest
station, a small government post. Tom
fed and worked the engine. I sat on
the seat beside Charlie and held him
up. The rattle and rumble of the
wheels accused me at every revolutiou.
"They seemed to le repeating the
wonls: 'You've Villed him! 'You've
killed him!" Tom made those forty
miles in an hour; good time over that
road at that day, but it seemed to me
an age. As we were running in Torn
gave the bell and whistle both, and
then when she came to a stand he fired
two shots. The hlueeoats were out in
jiffy.
"fc very thing was told in a few
words. Charlie was carried into the
quarters and turned over to the sur
geon, a fine old fellow named Hamil
ton. With an escort of twenty men
we ran baek to the train. The rob tiers
had left it Finding the express einptv
of treasure they had tried to g
through the train. There were 1m:
many revolvers among the passengers
and they drew off.
''When we reached the post again
Surgeon Hamilton walked up to the
cab. 'Are you Jim Cook? said he. 1
nodded. 'Take these to Mr. White
wife,' and he handed me Charlie's
watch, a bank look and a bunch of
keys. 'He told me to tell you." the
surgeon went on, 'not to feel bad alwiut
that shot The road agents found him :
with that last volley, and he wou'd
have gone under anyhow from his
other wounds. His tody will go baek
with you on your return, and I will
give you a letter to the express com
pany." "Tom cried like a child. I couldn't
cry; my brain .seemed to Won fire: I
was thinking one minute of how re
proachfully Charlie had looked at me
when he swung into the cab with a
dying effort, and the next of a frail
little woman in "FrNeo who was pa
tiently waiting Charlie's return.
"The company gave her a pension
but she didn't niMd it long."
"What was in the box?" I asked.
''Certificates of stock in a wildcat
mining scheme.
"Why-"
"It was like this." said Jim, wiping
his eyes and bringing his story to a
el os "The express agent saw that
somehow the fact that a shipment of
treasure was to W made had leaked
out At the last moment he substi
tuted a lot of worthless securities. He
saw that he was shallowed on the way
to the train and he acted up at the
depot just to throw the robWrs off the
scent and to make them Wlievc that
the shipment was really Wing made
by our train. Joe Quail, in the 1 by

A Neapolitan Trait.
A maker of macaroni in Naples was
offered important orders from abroad
which would have brought a large and
permanent increase to his business, but
he declined to accept them. "I sup
pose, said an iuighsli irieml to turn.
that the solvency of your customer
was doubtful. ".Not in the least,
was the reply. "r the price too low.
Oh. no, it was higher than what 1 get
now. "Perhapsthe additional capital
required was too large." "No, there
was no difficulty there, he answered.
Then why on earth did you throw
away such an opening?" "I can make
both ends meet as it is, and why should
I add a new worry to ray life?" The
answer was conclusive and typical of
the average Italian. W hethcr it be. a
good or bad trait the desire for wealth
in him seldom reaches that intensity
which drives on tite Englishman to
wear out his life in a restless passion
to accumulate more and ever more.

Short staple domestic wool is divided
Into eight grades, namely, I'icklock,

Worsted wool is classed downward

downright, seconds to abb. The dia

The best wool is from (1) the shoul

shorter and coarser; still shorter and
coarser on the hind quarters (4); the
belly wool (5) is short, worn ad dirty;

that on the front of throat (A) has the

head and shins is short stiff and

A further classification is into lamb's

develops have Wen in progress at the
Iowa experiment station during the
past season, and the conclusions
reached are recorded in bulletin
14. The moths, which are aWut
one-third of an inch a cross when
the wings are spread, are dark
brown or nearly black, with two
small, curved, silvery lines along the
hind Wrder, with eight white, silky
lines along the fore Wrder of the fore
wings, which in common with the hind
wings are delicately fringed as shown
in the engraving. The under side of
the wings are shining and silkv and
have a greenish tinge in certain lights.
The moths were noticed flying from

of May, and in the early part of June
they were pairing freely. An exami
nation of the clover blossoms aWut
the i.'th of June showed that over one-
half of the heads examined were in

caterpillars, lest than one-third of an

destroying the florets as they go. From
the rate of growth it appears that
there are at leafct three broods yearly.
hxaminations of hay cut early in June
showed that all the larva were killed

from storing it This fact suggests
that the remedy for this insect is to cut
and store the hay and all patches of
clover at this time. (The larva; live

the appearance of later broods and is

POLICEMEN'S GOOD HEALTH
Th. Law Death Bat lw U Thalr Hani
arily Good Habits.
Although the lot of a policeman "ia
not a nappy one,- aa the sonir soea, yet.
considering the exposure to the weather
incidental to patrol duty, the busi
ness is not an unhealthy one, observes
the New York Times. According to
the report of the department for 1890
it appears that in a force of 3,303 of all
ranks there were but forty-one deaths.
The death roll includes three sergeants,
three detective sergeants and thirty
five patrolmen. The chief causes of
death were, as might be expected,
pneumonia and consumption. Eleven
deaths resulted from the former and
nine from the latter disease. There
were four deaths from heart disease.
three from li right's disease and two
from bronchitis. Two policemen only
met violent deaths, and they were
killed by falls.
When asked to explain the low rate
of mortality in the force one of the
police surgeons said that it was not sur
prising. "The men when appointed,"
he said, "must be in perfect health.
else they could not pass the stringent
physical examinations by the police
surgeons and the doctors of the civil
service board. They have plenty of out
door exercise, which tends to keep
them in good physical condition- Their
hoi'rs for rest and meals are as regular
as clockwork except .when an emer
gency arises, such as a long-continued
strike or other event tending to breed
disorder, or a large fire, when, for a
few davs, perhaps, this regularity is
broken in upon.
"The sleeping-rooms at the station
house are large and well ventilated.
The policemen are required by the
rules to be warmly clad in winter and
lightly clad in summer, and they are
compelled to supply themselves with
rubber clothing to wear in stormy
weather. They must keep themselves
clean. They can have medical at
tendance free when they are sick, and
every possible precaution is taken to
keep the force in a healthy condition.
"A policeman gets only half pay
while on the sick list, and, consequent
ly, there is very little malingering If
the policeman only keeps away from
-rum,' which causes more trouble in the
department than anything else, there
is no reason why he should not enjoy
better health than the average man.
There is a good deal of talk about the
hardships which a policeman has to en
dure, bui they are fully discounted by
the comforts he enjoys above those in
the same social scale."

Panl made a little sailboat, says the
Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette. He got
Elsie to hem the sails, which she could
do very well, for she was a good sewer.
" ou could sew, too, Paul," said Elsie,
"if yon would learn to use a thimble."
"It is handy to know how to sew some
times," admitted Paul; "but I wouldn't
use a thimble. Iloys never do." "Why
don't they?" asked Elsie, boldly, "they
could sew easier if they would. Don't
sailors sew? They're men. Don't they
use thimbles? Paul was busy fasten

then Herbert came in- with a tin cup

brown and yellow stripes down their
backs, and were really pretty, except
to people who don't think any kind of a
bug pretty. "Just the thing!" shouted
PauL So he manned or potato-bugged
his craft, and started it on the raging
ocean, which filled a washtub outside
the kitchen door. The sailors swarmed
all over the ship, up and down the rig

thread. They looked very busy It
was a successful cruise. Thi ship

To Make Enda Meet.
It is said that the proverb about the
trouble of making ends meet originated
when it was still the fashion to put the
table napkin around the neck and tie it
behind. At that time ruffs were so
high and voluminous that it was next
to impossible to follow this point of eti
quette. Itefore the coming of the nap
kin, which appeared about the middle
of the fifteenth century, the table cloth
took its place, and was drawn over the
knees of the guests as they took their
