Grumbler * .
How full the world is of grumblers !
Many of the same people who scold in
summer because it is warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There is
no point between zero and the nineties
that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or mow makes no mat-
tor. Neither is wanted. If skies are
clear , somebody's cistern needs rain. If
the Miowers descend , somebody's feath
ers are ruined. It would add much to
our happiness and detract inneh from
the fatal tendency to grow old if we
would strive after contentment and cease
worrying over the inevitable. The
truly happy are the happy go lucky ,
who take everything as it comes and
make the best of it.
If it rains , all that is left to do is to
put up our umbrella , if wo are so fortu
nate as to Imvo one , and trudge along.
Wet feet and bedraggled skirts won't
kill one any more than poverty and
drudgery will , if there is something
within ns too sunshiny for poverty to
clond and too noble for drudgery to de
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the king's chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex
actly for the comfort of the fly , but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and bo glad it is no worse. Chicago
Times-Herald.
I.o\1i > k Too Lute.
Not long ago I met a j'onug lady in
poverty whom I had previously known
in wealth , and this was in substance
the story she told me : "Father died
suddenly in Washington , and the pro
fessional skill through which ho had
coined money for us died with him. I
am not weeping because we are poor. I
am broken hearted because none of ns
saw that he was dying. Was it not piti
ful that he should think it best not to
tell any of us that he was sick ? And I ,
his petted daughter , though I knew he
was taking opium to soothe his great
pain , was so absorbed by my lovers , my
games and my dresses that I just hoped
it would all come right. If I could only
remember that even once I had pitied
his suffering or felt anxious about his
life , I might bear his loss better ! "
The story is common enough. Many
a father , year after year , goes in and
out of his home carrying the burden and
doing the labor of life , while those
whom he tenderly loves hold with but
careless hands all of honor and gold he
wins by toil and pain. Then some day
his head and hands can work no more !
And the hearts that have not learned
the great lesson of unselfish love while
love was their teacher must now begin
their sad duty when love has left them
alone forever. Amelia E. Barr in La
dies' Homo JournaL
Caterpillars and Eye Diseases.
It will come as a surprise to many of
our readers that caterpillars are respon
sible for an affection of the eyes which
may entail prolonged suffering and even
result in serious damage to vision. That
such is the case has been abundantly
proved by a number of instances on rec
ord in which more or less intractable
inflammation of the eyes has been found
to be associated with the presence of
hairs which , after removal , have been
identified as belonging to the genus
caterpillar. At a meeting of the Oph-
thalmological society a case was related
in which a lad was struck in the eye by
a caterpillar thrown at him by a playful
schoolfellow. He picked up the insect
to examine it , and the hand which
seized it became red and developed
papules and other indications of local
irritatiou. A day or two later the eye
became the seat of what proved to be a
very troublesome inflammation , associ
ated with the presence of rounded ele
vations due to an accumulation of cells
around the imbedded hairs , which were
subsequently discovered and removed.

Does a Deer Challenge ?
I will try to reply to your question ,
"Does a deer challenger" In the Lake
Superior region it is not an uncommon
thing to hear a buck whistle , as we call
it. He may be following the trail of an
other buck , or may be only disturbed by
the hunter. The sound is somewhat like
escaping steam , but shrill and loud
enough to be heard from a fourth to a
half of a mile. I have known one , after
being slightly wounded , to take cover
in a dense swamp and repeatedly send
forth his angry challenge. The sound
is , I think , produced by the throat and
mouth and would require the head to be
elevated and mouth slightly open. I am
of the opinion that this is the only note
of anger or warning that the white tail
deer gives. Forest and Stream.
A Practical Husband.
Surely the Monmouthshire man who
caused his wife's wedding ring to be
inscribed , "If thee doesn't work , thee
shasn't eat , " was determined that there
should be no mistake in what he re
quired in a wife. The only wonder is
how any woman could be induced to
marry him with such a threat before
her eyes. The exact date of this ring is
not known , but it is previous to the
eighteenth century. Chambers' Jour
nal.
A Smart Reply.
The burgomaster of A was invit
ed to attend a centenary celebration. He
declined with thanks , adding that it
was impossible for him to take part in
the proceedings on this occasion , but
that he would be most happy to come
next time. Zondagsblad.
In the folklore of almost every coun
try the magpie figures very largely. In
popular superstitions to see one magpie
is unlucky ; to see two denotes merri
ment or a marriage ; to see three , a suc
cessful journey ; four , good news ; five ,
company.

WRECKED THE BILLINGS TEAIN.
A Wyoming Steer Offered Up His
Life and Scared Passengers.
Passengers who arrived on the delayed
Billings train at midnight on Friday
night tell of an exciting experience they
had forty-seven miles this side of Sheri
dan , in Wyoming , about 5 o'clock on
Thursday afternoon. The train was run
ning at a lively rate of speed when an
obstinate Wyoming steer was encoun
tered in a cut opening out upon an em
bankment about twenty-five feet high.
The shock threw the engine , tender and
everyone of the four coaches off the
track , making one of the nastiest look
ing wrecks imaginable. Fortunately no
one was killed. Engineer Tom Haley
was badly bruised in the shoulder and
Fireman Shannon had his feet scalded.
The passenger list was light , and the
casualties consisting of nothing more
serious than bruises and joltings.
Thomas Ostergard of Newman Grove
was in the chair car when the trouble
came. "We were running about fifty
miles hour " "when heard
an , he says , I
a pumping and a grinding that meant
trouble. The conductor jumped to see
what was the matter , and I braced my
self , expecting a crash every minute , and
fearing that the Pullman would sail into
our car and crush it to pieces. After a
period of jolting and grinding and jump
ing , during which every woman in the
car was yelling like bloody murder , we
came to a stop and climbed out. Every
car was off the rails. The engine was off
on one side and the baggage car on the
other. We expected to find the engineer
and fireman dead , but the fireman
crawled out of the cab just then with his
feet badly scalded. The engineer had
fallen out of the cab as she went over.
The baggage car went across the right
of way , and we found the baggageman
in among the the trunks without a
scratch on him. The engine was badly
demolished. I went out in front of the
wreck and make a sketch of it. The en
gine was on one side of the track , with
the pilot toward me. The tender had
turned clear over and was lying in the
middle of the track. I could read the
number , 102 , that is painted on the rear
end , pointed forward , in the direction
the train was going" .
Trains came from Sheridan and Edge-
mont and after a delay of several hours
