The Heroes of Peace
( Conductor Hilgot, though fatally
burned by the escaping steam, remem
bered his duty and in his agony
screamed: "For God's sake, iJack,
flag Forty-nine, or she'll be into us
fn a minute!" Baggageman . John
&au,m, though frightfully, wounded,
.giciwiua uuwn me iracic ana naggeu
forty-nine' by setting fire to his coat
and waving it in front of the ap
proaching train. When ha saw tlTorty-
nine slowing up in response , q t his
signal he fainted, by the side of'iho
track. From the telographic account
df a recent railroad -wreck, in which
four score people were, killed,)
The heroes who have fought and died
, On Holds with carnage strewn.
The world recalls with swelling pride
And carves their names in stone.
We cheer the name of him who leads
The battle's fierce onslaught,
But men who have done braver- deeds
. Are by the world forgot- --
No knight who fought for lady fair
With lance and coat of mail-
Accomplished deeds 0at can compare
. With heroes of the rail. t .
Whoe'er saw knight armed cap-a-pie
Perform a deed as fine
As Hilgot's, when he- rose to cry:
"Quick, Jack; flag Forty-nine I"
And Baum, though wounded' unto
death
By cruel wheel and beam; .,
Though lungs were filled with cruel
' breath . - .., -..Vr'-ritw
Of hissing, scalding' steam, ,. ' .
Responded when brave Hilgot called,.
And slowly down the line,
In pain and agony he crawled .
To signal Forty-nine.
Though marble shafts "by scores we
rear , ,
- To men of martial fame;
And though we split our throats to
cheer
The mention of each name,
What braver, men today can we
With- laurel wreaths entwine. "
Than these who In their agony
Flagged back for . Forty-nine?
We rear a stone to him who fills
The land with blood and tears;
The name of him who burns and kilis
We greet with frantic cheers.
But men who save their fellow men
Get from the world no Bien
Though God saw Baum and Hilgot
when
They flagged for Forty-nine.
Historical..
Napoleon sorrowfully watched his
soldiers as they were being driven
back at Waterloo.
"Alas, that I did not have the fore
thought to proyide myseif with a ca
nal site."
Then remembering that strenuoslty
was not yet developed in America he
prepared to accept his fate.'
In vain did his comrades plead with
Marc Antony to brace up and do
something.
"Can't you see that I am buBy talk
ing to Cleo?" exclaimed Marc. "This
Is no time for deeds."
Reali7Jng the strength of his posi
tion the people made no further ob
jection to paying tribute.
Immediately after finishing his mu
sical instruments Pan played a little
tune.
"That's all "rjglitjtf ho remarked,
MM.Mupm:

gazing at his handiwork. "Bu I haye
not conferred an unmixed blessing
.upon the world. This, meang thaUa
lew thousand years hence the people
will be called upon to save the, Chi
cago orchestra " .,
However, having no money of his
own, Pan soon forgot all about it
Plutarch roved from sanctum to
3anctum, vainly looking for 'a pub
lisher. "Alas," he sighed, -"that tq.qre are
no great trusts yet in existence,' else
I might write a history b'f their iives
and achieve fame and' 'llches ' , v
Bui not for long did Plutarch grow
faint-hearted. And finally 'he found a
magazine that did not pretend to be
literary."
For a few brief moments after nieta
morphosizing Niobe, Jupiter felt se
vere pangs of conscience.'
"Have I -done right in makinghor a
perpetual fountain of tears?" he "quer
ied. ,
Suddenly remembering that the time
would come when - great trusts and
corporations would, beable to -make
use of the ivater he felt that he had
not worked in vain. .
