To crush t,s in the dust,
to Under his heedless fact."
The great king bowed his. bead,
And saw the wide surprise
L Of the quven of SIhba's eyes,
As he told her what they said.
"Oh, king!" she whispered sweet,
"Too happy fate have they
Who perish in thy way

"The wise and strong should selek

- And turned his horse aside.

Curved with their leador round

And left it free from harm.

And wisdom well I know."

STORY OF TlHE ENGINEER.
i' "Let ime put my name do a n first--I
k. can't stay lo!ng"
rL It was a red ribblon meeting, and the
r a- ltI was m locomotive lligilleCr, bronzedl

determninatio. Ho signed his name in a
ER bold, plain hand, tied a red ribbon in his

he said:
"- As the Lord looks down upon me, I'll
never touch liq1uor again !"
"'Have you born a hardl drinker "
Squeried a nman who walked beside the
. enginleer.
"No. Fact is, I was never drunk in
ug, Iny life. I've swallowed considerable
whiskey, but I never went for enough to
get drunk. 1 slouildn't miss it or be the
worse off for an hour if all the intoxice
ting drink in the world was draiied into
' the ocean."

pledge." it 1

"Well, if you'll walk down to the do- tha
pot I'll tell you a story on the way. It tall
has'nt been in the papers yet, and only a is a
few of us know the facts. You know I say
run the night express on the Ii-- road. Go(
We always have atleast two sleepers and mit
a coach, and sometimes we have as many
as two hundred passengers. It's a good
road, level as a floor, 'and pretty stral ght,
though there is a bad spot or t vo. The
night express has the right o' way, and 1
-we make fast time. It's no rare thing his
for us to skim along at the rate of fifty a
andut we rarely go below thirty. One
inight I pulled out of Detroit with two
sleepers, two coaches, and the baggage I
and mail cars. Nearly all the berths in ma
both sleepers were full, and most of the cir'
seats in the coaches were occupied. It onl
was a dark night, threatening all the his
time torain, and a lonesome wind whis
tied around the cab as we left the city eve
behind. We were seventeen minutes
late, and that meant fast time all the way
through.
"Well," he continued after a moment, sor
"everything ran along all right up to
midnight. The 'nain track was kept an'
clear for us; the engine was in good spir
its, and we ran intoD- as smooth as you
please. The express coiuing east should tic
meet us fifteen miles west of D- , but
the operator at that station had failed to in
receive his usual report from below. That wC
was strange, and yet it was not, and af- inl
ter a little consultation the conductor
sent me ahead. We were to keep the br
main track, while the other would run
in on the side track. Night after night h"
our time had been so close that we did not ii;
keep them waiting over two minutes, and foi
were generally in sight when they switch- ab
ed in. on
"When we left D- we went ahead at
a rattling speed, fully believing that the sy
other train would be on time. ine niles de
from D- is the little village of Parto. dof
There is a telegraph station there, but
the operator has no night work. He tn
closedt his office and went homue about
nine o'clock, and any messages on the
wires for him were held above or below lb
until next morning. When I sighted ht
this station I saw a red lantern swiuging la
between the rails. Greatly astonished, I
pulled up the heavy train and got a bit o0
of news that almost lifted me out of my h
boots. It was Godt's mercy, as plain
as this big depot. It' was the operator
who was swinging the lantern. lie had
been roused from sleep by the whist:e of
a locomotive, when therme wasil't one
within ten miles of hilm. lie heard the
toot! toot! toot ! white ho was dressing,
and all the way :is lie ran to the station, sl
thinkinng he had been sigunaled- Lo! ii
there was. no train there. Everything
waLs as quiet as t ie grave. The manlll
heard his iintrunmenti clicking away. ,and a
leaning his e:ar against tilhe window he
caught these words as they went through S
to D-:
"For God's sake, switch the Eastern
express oft quick! Enimiucer on the Wes- I
tern express crazy drunk, and running a
mile a minute!'
"The operator .gnialed at us at once.
We Lad left D-- nine miles, away, and
the message could'ut have caught us anlly
where except at Parto. Six miles folrth
er down was the long switch. It was
tinle we o, re there, lacking one minute.
We lost two or three minutes in under
standing the situation and in consulting,
and had just got ready to switch in where
we were when the head-light of the other
train camne in view. Great Ileavens! but
how that train was flying. The bell was
ringing, sparks flying and the whistle
screaming, and not a mnan of us could
raise a hand. We stood there on the
main track, spell-hound as it were. There
wouldn't have been time. anyhow, eitlih
cr to have switched in or got the pass:ln..
gers oult. It wasn't over sixty seconds
before that train was upon us. I prayed
to God for a breath or two and then shut
my eyes and waited for death, forlhadn't
the strength to get out of the cab.
"Well, sir, God's lmercy was revealed
again. Forty rods albov us that locomo
tive jiumped the track and \was piled into
the ditch in an awful mass. Some of thel
coaches were considerably smashed, and
some of the people Iadly bruised, but no
one vwas killed, ani of course our train
1 escaped oentirely. Satan mlust have cared

cl the fields like a deer, screaimng aud
:cl shrieking like a 1u:mad t:'ger. It took five
a men to huind hint after he was rui down,
Iis and to-day he is the worst lunatic in the
he State.
"'Tomn was a gocod fellow," continued
'll the enlgineer, after a pause, "an hlie used
to take his glass pretty regularly. I nev
er saw himn drduk, but liquor kept work
he ing away on his Icrycs till at last the

One such night on the road has turned W
me against intoxicating drinks, ahd now
that I've got this red ribbon on I can $o
talk to the boys with better face. Tom- of

SOMETIING IN TIIE BED.
.furx Addcler.
Judge Pitman has a habit of slipping
his wa~tch under his pillow whezi he goes
to bed. The other night somehow it
slipped down, and, as thi judge was rest
less, it gradually worked its way down
ward towa'rd the foot of the bed. After
a bit, while he, was lying awake, his foot
teucluexl it, anid it felt very cold; hlie was
surprise I and s :ared, and. jumping front
his bedhe said :
"By gracious, Maria! there's a toad or
a snake or somlething under the covers.
I touched it with miy foot."
Mrs. Pitman gave a loud scream, and
was out on the floot in an instant.
"Now don't go to hollering and waking
up the neighbors," said the judge. "You,
go and get one a broom or.something,
and we'll lix the thing mighty quick.
Mrs Pitman got the broom and gave it
to the judge, with the remark that she
felt as if sna'kes were creeping all up and
down her legs and back.
r "O, nonesense, Maria! Now you turn
it down tlhe cover, slowly, while I hold the
I)0room and bang it. Put a hicket of wa
le ttr alongside the bed, too, so's we can
Sshove it in and drown it."

A DISASTrOUSTORNADO.
The most disastrous tornado ever
witnessed in the vicinity of Chica
go passed over the little village
of Pensaukee, in Oconto county,
Wis., on a Saturday evening re
cently. It is described by eye
witnesses to have come up sudden
ly, preceded by an ominous dark
ness, followed by a sighing and
then roaring of the wind, and be
fore the inhabitants could fly to a
place of safety the wind was upon
them. The %hole villao tea 8
a,..," anay. eFucpt a Inw ouses.
The air was filled with the rains
in an instant. Men and animals
were picked up and carried away
amid the horrible din, by a power
they could not resist. The Gardner
House, a large hotel, at which
several Chicago people were stop
ping, was utterly demolished. It
seems incredib!e that the loss of life
could have been so small as it act
ually was. This storm was over
in about four minutes and before the
stricken people could realize what
the matter was, it had passed and
left the streets filled with the
wreck, mingled with the dead and
wounded. Nothing escaped Mills,
lumber, domestic utensils, and liv
ing creatures were scattered every.
where in one awful wreck.
It was found after the wind had
subsided that the width of the
storm was about 1000 feet. The
forest through which it passed was
uprooted. Not a tree was left
standing, but all lay twisted and
broken in every conceivable shape
The tornado was in the form of a
whirlwind and irresistible in its
r force. The depot was lifted from
its foundation and carried some
t distance and set down again, with.
out having suffered much damage.
g Only three or four houses were
; left standing.
INDOOR SAFETY IN A TkLULNDER
STORML
Mr. Latimer Clark, the eminent
electrician, gives the following use.
fil hints as to the safest position
people can occupy during a thun
- der storm: A person reclining on
a sofa or bed at a distance from the
't walls of the room scarcely suffer
injury, even in a house struck by
lightning, but a most absolute se.
curity is obtained by lying on en
iron or brass bedstead in which the
head is surmounted by an iron crec~
d tion supporting the curtains. A
person lying or sleeping within
such a bedstead could not possibly
receive any direct injury from light,
n' ing, even if the hou-c were to be
it demolished, as his bedstea.d forms
he the most complete lightning..pro
