Locomotive engineers are as a clana said to be superstitious, but J. M. Pinckoey, an enpjiueer known to al most every Brotherhood .man, is an exception to the rule. He lias never been ablo to believe the different sto ries told of apparitions suddenly ap pearing on the track, but he had an experience last Sunday night on the Northern Pacific east-bound overland that made his hair stand on end. Hy the eourtesj- of the engineer, also a Brotherhood man, Mr. I'inckney was riding on the engine. They were re counting experiences, and the fireman, who was a green hand, was getting t very nervous as he listened to the tales of wrecks and disasters, the hor rors ofi which were graphically de scribed by the veteran engineers. The night was clear and the rays from the headlight Hashed along the track, and, although they were inter ested in spinning yarns, a sharp look out was kept, for they were rapidly nearing Kaglo gorge, in the Cascades, the sceue of so many disasters and the place which is said to be the most dan gerous on the 2,5'X) miles of road. The engineer was relating a story and was just , coming to the climax when he suddenly grasped the throttle, and in a moment had "thrown her over," that is, reversed the engine. The air brakes were applied and the train brought to a standstill ' within a few feet of the place where Engineer Cy pher met his death two years ago. By this time the passengers had become curious as to what was the matter, and all sorts of questions were asked the trainmen. The engineer made an excuse that some of the machinery was loose, and in a few moments the train was speeding on to her destina tion. "Vhrt made you stop back there?" asked Pinckney. "I heard your ex cuse, but I have run too long on the road not to know that your excuse ii not the truth." His question was answeied by the engineer pointing ahead and saying excitedly: "There! Look there! Don't you see it?" "Looking out of the cab window." said Mr. Pinckney, "I saw about 300 yards ahead of us the headlight of a locomotive." "Stop the train, man," I cried, reach ing for the lever. "Oil, it's nothing. It's what I saw back at the gorge. It's Tom Cypher's engine. No. 33. There's no danger of a collision. The man who is running that ahead of us can run it faster back ward than I can this one forward. Have I seen it before? Yes, twenty times. Every engineer on the road knows that engine, and he's always vatching for it when he gets to the gorge." i "The engine ahead of us was run- I ning silently, but smoke was pulling from the stack and the headlight threw out rays of red, green and white light. It kept a short distance ahead of us for several miles, and then for a mo ment we saw a figure on the pilot. Then the engine rounded a curve and we did not see it again. We ran by a little station, and at the next, when the operator warned us to keep weU back from a wild engine that Was ahead, the engineer said nothing. He was not afraid of a collision. Just to satisfy my own mind on the matter 1 sent a telegram to the engine wiper at Sprague, asking him if No. 33 was in. 1 received a reply stating that No. 33 had just come in, and that her coal was exhausted and boxes burned out. I suppose you'll be inclined to laugh at the story, but just ask any of the boys, although many of them won't talk about it. I would not myself if I were ' unuiug on the road. It's "unlucky to io so." With this comment upon the tale Mr. Pinckney boarded a passing caboose and was so n on his way to Tacoma. It is believed by Northern Pacific en gineers that Thomas Cypher's spirit stil'. hovers near Kiigle gorge. Seattle Frist- Titan.. Ten per cent of India's population are widows. Whjr Rube Stayed. As I came along to where the. high, way forked, I saw a colored man abouk fifty years of age tied to a tree beside the road. The rope was : around hit waist, while his : hands were free to reach the knot and release himself. "Well,' what are you doing there?"" I asked, as I came to a halt. "Dun waitin' fur Mars Chapin to cum back," he, replied.! ; 1 "And who's Mars Chapin?" ' "He's de Sheriff, sah." "Did he tie jou to that tree?" "Yes, sah." !

' ' A DETERMINED CLIENT. Hw Kha Raiaad funds for Her Salt m4 Kxhortrd IIr Lawyer. "My first case,? said a well-known Harlem, lawyer to a N. Y. Commercial ' Advertiser man, "was a very unique one. An Irish family of the name of Murphy, living up on the rocks in one of the fast disappearing remnants of Shanty-town. were fraudulently evicted from their tumbledown cabin by a i rascally landlord. The practical head of the household was the wife, and sho ; determined to fijrht the matter out. For three weeks the Murphys.children, furniture and all. lived in the back Jard of their former home with noth ng between them and heaven but a flimsy tent made of old sheets, while Mrs. Murphy tramped around town looking for a lawyer who would take their case for nothing. "One day she charged into my office and told me her story with the stereo typed exactness that comes from fre quent repetition. The case seemed to be a worthy one, and as I wasn t over burdened with work I agreed to take it free of charge and reinstate the Mur phys in their dilapidated homestead. She wanted to get out a free summons against the landlord and waive several other small but. necessary expenses, but I told her it would be mere politic to pay these, as the total would not amount to $5. "Foive dollars!' she cried; 'divil a cint have the Murphys seen since me itusband losht his job wan month ago, and tho lasht blissed thing thim pawn brokers '11 take they've got already.' When I offered to loan her the money she went into such a rage that I afiologized abjectly. 'Be the powers!1 she exclaimed, after pacing the floor for about ten minutes, 'I forgot wan thing! Wait, misther, an' I'll be back in an hour!' "She kept her word, and just as I was closing up shop for the day she reappeared with her hands full of silver, which she poured upon my desk. Mrs. Murphy,1 1 queried, 'where did you get this? I thought your last valuable had been pawned?1 'Yis,1 she replied, with a gleam of triumph in the . gray e3'o, 'ivirything excipt the goat. I tuk auld Nanny, whose milk me chiluer lms lived upon, over to the Kenneys, and they lint me $4.97 on her. There's the money, young man, and now, le the luv of hivin, go in and bate Mc Carty!' "I take pleasure in 6tating that Mo Caity was 'baten'." In Ireland. Denis Kooeobec died possessed of forty-eight cijiJdreri, l1t. grandchildren, and 'JH great-grandchildren.

Hirt First Week As near as I am able to judge from appearances my arrival lias kicked up quite an excitement, in the household. I have been weighed and the figures were given at eight pounds. I have also been carefully inspected ami have been pronounced pound in wind and limb. It's a g as far as I am concerned. My young dad seems to be tickled half to death, and his breath smells of beer. When he heard I was a boy he went out back of the house ami jumped on his hat for joy. If I don't make him jump for some other cause before I get over this redness of complexion then vou may play marbles on my bald head! Second Week Nurse is here jet. and I'm on my good behavior. She looks to me like a woman who wouldn't take much sass off a young ster, and I don't want a row until my muscle works up a little more. Sev eral parties in to see me. and I had to listen to the usual congratulations. Some talk of bringing me up on a bot tle, but I'll have something to say about that later on. I'm laying low and taking things easy. Dad is still walking around, with a grin on his face, and there was a. smell of gin cocktail in the room last night. When he remarked that I was just the quiet est and most good-natured baby iu New York ,1 came near giving myself dead. away. There's a surprise in store for that hayseed, and it'll hit him like a load of brick. Third Week Everything so so. Nurse goes Saturday night. She brags about what a little darling I am, but she's talking for wages. I'm quite sure she mistrusts me. People keep coming in to paw me over and look at my. feet, .The. general verdict is (ahem!) that I'm just the cutest.hand someatt young1un, ever born- That's all bosh, however, and I'm , not at alY stuck on my shape. They allowed dad to carry me around a few minutes last evening, and . you'd a-thought b owned the, earth. He said he tould walk with me tor a week, and rI just gurgfed.' . Hell drop to something be fore be is a week older. I haven't said much tbns far. but I've done a beap o' thinking just r the same. I don't pro pose to take a4 vantage of , the baby act much . longer. , . Had a row with the nurse aadTnad to give in. Beaten, but not conquered. ' ' Fourth Week I told you I'd do it. and I did! The aighfc- after the nurse left 1 took up that unfinished business with 4ad and 4ong.abont 4 o'clock J n the morning, be was the ieket man ou ever sew. I didn't . want to kill him in one night and so saved some of him over for the-next. Colic, you know. All babies have it and I wasn't going to be left ot. Kirks, squirms, wriggles, yellf.i with, dad- trotting. up and dnwV until he finally shook his fiat-under mv jnoee and boned I'd die. Then I let up a littif, but I've got a. lot more nolle saved up.

He was gone about an hour, and when he returned he showed liieoiliccr a bank check for $2 )0 and asked: "Doos that seem all right to you?" "Uight? Of course not. 1 1'. a cheek on a IJufTulo bank signed John Smith. It's a dead fake, of course." "Fake! Fake! What's a fake?" "You've been faked. 1 expected you'd jret into trouble when you went j out of here. Seems singular that you can t talk common sense into some people." "Then the check is no good?" asked the old man. "Why, of course not. How much did you lend on itP" "I gave him "Well, you've been confidenced, and now you'd fnitter go and sit down and keep mum?" "Is that what they call a confidence Same "Of course." "Well, I thought so all the time." "Then what did you let him walk off with your money for?" "I did n't, you know. H started to go, but 1 grubbed him by the neck, like this, and backed him up agin' a wall, like this, and 1 pulled out this old pistil and laid the hur'l on his nose and he give up that money quieker'n scat." The. old man illustrated the case in the most vigorous manner, even to laying on the har'l, which was a por tion of" a weapon seemingly fifty years old. "So you got your money?" asked the officer, as he got his neck loose from the old man's grip. "Got 'er right down in my breeches pocket, safe as a bank. IIow much more time have I got?" "An hour and a half." "Wall, 1 guess I'll take another little walk around. Mebbe I'll meet some body else who don't know that I run a side-show with old Dan Kite's circui fur better than twenty years, and who thinks I'm a kitchen door for Uieg to roost on." A I-'air Kxrhnii;je. In one of the big up-town, boarding houses they are talking about a cer tain married lady who sat on her hubby's knee the other night and strok ed his side whiskers so tenderly that he blurted out: "Well, go ahead. What, is it? A now hat ?" "(), no, you old darling. It's a sur prise I've got in store for you." "IIow much loes it cost ?" "O. who cares about the cost? iL's the sentiment of the thing." "All right; let's have t he sent iment." "Well, you see, never wear tho.ie neckties I give you every (,'hri-tma-. and it isn't fair that I should have all the benefit and you none, so I've; mado a change t his year and got you a pair of slippers." "That's very kind." "I knew you'd appreciate it and want to give me something in return, so I though I'd arrange a surprise for you and I went and got something real nice in return." "Ah, you did, eh? What is it?" "A beautiful diamond bracelet." "Jehosaphat! A thousand dollars?" "O, more. Twenty-live hundred. You are surprised!" If he wasn't the people in the next room were when they heard the lan guage he used. San Francisco Chroni cle. Harvard College has 219 courses in liberal arts and sciences. Thought on Tbfnffs. This is not a fable, but the record of a few reflections prompted by the ex ercises in English composition of two deserving school children. Here is one of them: "The ostrich is a large and beautiful bird. People ride on them when tbey are going a long way, and once I saw a picture of a boy on a ostriches back they have very large wings. The pruice of Wales has "ot a ostriches feather in his bat. The ostrich is a large bird and the humming bird is as well but the ostrich is tbe largest of them. The ostrich is found in Man chester and they live on sand and make their nests on it and lay their eggs on it. - ft is clear that tbe author of this essay is a person not only of much in formation, but also of a philosophical mind. ' ' Essay on a- Parrot: "A parrot is a bird that reads a thing through and never thinks about it, and it ia a very nice bird, and some of us do as well as parrots. I think we all ought to learn, because that is what we are sent to school for. And when we read athing we sboald not half read it over,' like parrot, wheu a parrot read it over they don't think of what they ara reading. But we hoold think abou a word before we read another, sod not do like a parrot does at all. There is a great many who act like a parrot in some school rennd thin cmiulrj." Strdut Hrrittr.
