COMPANY of roembeni j of the train dispatchers j convention were relutlt.g anecdotes and one remln- 1 lucent chan save the fol- lowing: "Some half a dozen years ago, when I was working the afternoon trick on the Union Pacific Railway at Denver, one of my oldtlme friends from the Past, who was on his vacation aud visiting friends in the Rockies;, called upon me. When 1 got things . straightened out so that I could leave j trains In charge of my operator, I went out to upend an hour with my PaHtcrn friend to show him the Interior decora tions of one or two of our notable pub lic buildings. Previous to going out with the Easterner I IsKtied running orders to a dinabled passenger engine which had been coujelled to give up the run near Peudville, In the 111 uin talus, and to return to Denver for re ; pairs. I fixed them againm oil regu lar .trains, and it started eastward about the same time that I descended j the Ktalrs with my friend. "What we saw or did la neither here nor there and does not necessarily en ter Into the recital of this yarn. Suf fice to say that we parted company after an hour's pleasant chat, et celern, and I returned to the ofllce while he de parted for hlH hotel, promising to meet me at a designated hour the following day. When I returned to the office my operator Informed me that he had just siarted helping engine .17 down the mountain to come up with a freight train, and that he had fixed them against all east bound trains. As It Is the custom of the dispatcher every mo ment or so w hile ou duty to glance first at the clock and then nt the train sheet, I saw that It was ();.'15 a. m., and also noted the absence of the pushing en gine being recorded upon the sheet. After an admonition to the operator that he must train himself to make a record on the sheet of all trains the instant he started them. I then sat down and Involuntarily picked tip tin order book and read the order the ope rator hail Issued to the pushing engine during my absence. "Directly I read the order I discover ed that he had made 110 provision for the two empty engines to meet each other, both of them having orders to run regardless of all trains. You can Imagine my feelings, and a description of how I felt Is useless. I said: 'Jim, you have not arranged for those two engines to pass each other, have you?' and his reply was: 'No; I had forgot ten about the No. 24 which you start ed.' There was but one Intervening station between the two stations from which the engines were separated from each other, one of them going down the mountain around the curves at a speed of thlriy-five miles an hour, and the other one ascending the grade at a speed of twenty miles per hour. "I at once began to call 'Mct.ee's.' the station which now separated the en gines, and as luck would have It, the oMrator wns seated at the key and an swered his call the second time I made It. As quickly as I could send the words over the wire I said: 'Stop En gland 57 west, quick!' His key opened and remained so fully a minute, when he closed It by saying: 'It was too late; they went by like a flash just as you called me, and, although I Jumped right out through the window and did not wait to go through the door, I could not catch them with my red light, for they never looked back.' "My operator was a silent listener to all this and as I glanced at him I could scarcely suppress a smile, even though my own mental suffering was as great as his. He was an object of abject dis tress nod his eyes hung way out on his cheeks like doorknobs on a colonial residence. There was one "blind" side track between McGce's aud Kuena Vis ta and how I did long for the telegraph oitice which the company contemplat ed opening at that place, There was nothing now that I could do to avert a collision which seemed to be Inevita ble, and my mental suffering was dis tracting. Turning to .llio I said: 'Well, my boy, this is a bad thing, and you have set a trap for those two englneeis and their firemen. At the rate of su'cd at which they are running, us In dicated by the time they passed the other stations, they will meet atwut two and one-fourth miles west of Mc Oee's and engine 24 will come around the curve nrst. Just as the helping en gine is upou them.' I csllcd up the operator at Mcnee s ana sain: wo down the track to the curve and see If yon can find out anything aliont those engines. I think we have got them In trouble.' Some fifteen minutes later he culled me nnd Informed me that he had gone all the way to tu twnd and climbed a cliff which gnr blm a view of threo miles, und that he could not see any headlights, nor hear anything working steam, .lust as he closed his key and 1 leaned my head down upon the train sheet to try and overcome the suffocat ing sensation that hail complete posses sion of me, the operator at McOee's said: 'There's something coming west cow,' and theu left the wire open for a minute and resumed by saying, 'It s Knglue 24, and they weut by like a rocket.' The sigh of relief which es caped from me and the light that came Into HHir Jim's face as his eyes slowly resinned their former position was most satisfying, and a great load was removed from both our hearts. Of course, my curiosity was great as to the manner in which the engines got by each other, and after 'Mc'tJeeV re ported the east bound engine passing his station 1 tsik my hat and left the office to breathe some fresh air Into my lungs aud to wait until the engine arrived. In half an hour she slowly puffed into the shed and I went tip to her and, gentlemen, I was never more pleased to meet the friend of my most tender recollections than I was to greet that dirt and grease besmirched engi neer, and an he alighted, torch In hand to -look her over' 1 greeted him warmly nnd said: 'Well, Mike, It was too bad you broke that piston gland mid had to take down one side and block her tip, otherwise you might have been home with tin-old lady three hours ago, but I'll fix you out with another engine ; and run yon back to Peadville light i without any cars as soon as you are ! ready.' 'All right, my boy, I'm much ' obliged to you, and I'll be ready as soon as we can get a bite to eat.' i "'Ah, by the way, Mike, where did you meet pushing engine .17?' " 'Pet's sec. oh, yes, we met them at Charcoal spur. Just as we got there the blocking came out of the 24. and I said to the fireboy that I thought I I heard something coming down the ! mountain, and told him to go and turn i the gate and we would go In the hole nnd replace the blocking on the 24.' "'How long had you been In on the spur track when the engine passed jour " 'Ob, about half a minute, I think. And say, ine boy, he was fanning her, too! You know that Foggy Tom Is a little reckless, and he goes around them curves too fast and you ought to speak to him before the old man gets 01 to him.' "'All right, Mike. But, say, where would you have met the 57 If the block ing had not come out of the 24?' "'My God!' cried he, as the torch dropped from his hand. 'Did he run by a flag order to meet us?' " 'No, Mike, but the boy upstairs was trying his hand at dispatching during my absence and did not make a meet ing point for you and Fuggy Tom.' Peeling the natural pride so prevalent among dispatchers that he can tell where any train will be at any minute on his division, I wanted to learn from Mike at what point he thought the two engines would have collided If he had not stopped; so I put the question, and bis reply was: 'We would have met two and a quarter miles west of Mc Gce's, on that big bend, and there wouldn't have been enough left of the engines to make toothpicks with. And there would have been a broken-heart ed widow and two sweet, little blue eyed lassies waiting for the whistle of tiie old 24. which they listen for each night, and which they never again would hear.' "He wiped away the tear lhat ap peared, and I silently retraced my footsteps to the office, aud ever since that eventful night, when my heart stood still for many long aud tiresome minutes, I have never left any train dispatching upon my track for others to perform." Artificial Noses and Kara. The making of artificial noses aud ears has become a good business with in the last few years. A nose Is first i modelled to the proper shape lu pnper- mache, and then It Is waxed and var nished to the tint of the complexion of the noseless person. Ordinarily It I fastened on by means of a pair of spectacles, to the noseplece of which It Is firmly attached. In some cases, however, where the remaining stump la large enough, It is clamped In place aud the spectacles are not necessary. An ear Is made In much the same way, but It Is far more difficult to attach. Most frequently small springs fitting Into the ear duct are used, but they are likely In the end to seriously Impair the honr(ng.

Yawning, though contrary to the canons of good society, is undoubtedly very beneficial to the individual. Mus cles are brought into play during a good yawn which otherwise would never obtain any exercise at all, and its alue as a sort of natural massHge is considerable. The muscles which move the lower jaw aud the breathing muscles of the chest are the first ones used during the process of gaping; then the tongue is roumled and arched, the palate lightly bi retched and the uvula raised. The eyes grueraily cioee tightly toward the termination of the yawn, the ears are raised slightly and the nostrils dialated. The crack some times heard in the ears proves that the aural memi.raiies are aleo stretched and exercised, something impossible by any process but a yawn. Accord to the New York Herald, it has re cently been recommended by some doc tors that sufferers from nasal catarrh should make a practice of yawning s:x or seven times a day, and good result will follow.

Sugar is one of the best of the fat producing foods, and for that reason it is bad for a person, young or old, in whom there is a tendency to accumu late too inucii fat. The converse of this is true.
