Mind

A Boy's Presence of

rHE PLUCK AND COOLNESS OF A NEWS

BOY AND HOW HE SAVED MANY
LIVES.
In conversa Ion with a prominent

physi mn the other day the subject of |
railroad accidents and escapes came up. |
“One of the most remarkable instances |
of presence of mind of which | have}
ever heard,” said he, “‘was related to me |
by Colonel John D. Wicklitfe, not long |
yo. It was on the Louisviile and |
N. ishville Railroad near the Muldraugh’s |
Hilltunnel. At that time the
of running trains Was io a very e'emen
tary state. The practice was to run}
’ neway at a time. In the}
trains would be stal ted |
vuisville and in the |
evening they would be run back. They
were preceed i by auother traio and al)

depot ata iate hour

time as possible when fairly on the}
road. Everything went smoothly |
enough till the tunnel was reached,

when the firsttrain was halted by a
ignal just before entering. Upon in-;{
vestigation it was found that a freight |
train had broken down in the passage. |

“Every one who has been over the
road knows how steep is the grade ot
Muldraugh’s Hill. Toclimb it the en-
ginecrs put on every ounce of steam
and take off the br: ikes till th e friction
is re lead toa minimum.
is but a short distance from the tunnel
anda deep curve in the track hides an
approachingtraintillwichioa few hun-
dred yards. Up thio, incline,but hidden
by the curve,was heard the puffing of the
third troip "The carseat. engine was
laboring gallantly and drawing the long
string of cars behind her as easily as a
trotter the light sulky of his driver.
The summit was reached and with a
wild shriek of delight, the train sprang
around the first curve and darted upon
the ir-atie-work. The momentum gain-
ed in the upward struggle carried it
aeross with race-horse speed and the
track quivered and stretched beneath
its eager tread. The cold night air
vibrated with tbe puffing of the engine
and the hills echoed and re-echoed the
shrieks of the whistle. The train was
not two minutes’ distance from the se
cond section when first heard. The
horror-stricken passengers in front were
caught in atrap. The rear train had
been totally forgotten and it was now
bearing down upon them, bringing death
and torture nearer and nearer.

“Atthatawful momenta newsboy,
with a great bundle of papers, dashed
like mad through the car to the rear.
The men yielded an instant passage and
he was but a moment in reaching the
rear platform. How he manag-
ed it no one knew, but he
had whipped out a match and
hada buodle of papers in flames
just as the headlight of the advanciog
engiae appeared around the curve.
flis entire stock flamed up, and he
waved and shouted, his face and form
lit up as perhaps was Cuasabiaoca’s on
that fatal dayat Trafalgar. The en-
gineer saw him just in time. He
reversed his engine and put on brakes
so rapidly that his train simply bumped
against the onein front. The pluck
and presence of mind of the boy had
saved scores of lives.

‘About five minutes after the pas-
sengers realized that they were saved,
a collection was taken up among the
officers and the newsboy was made
richer by $500. I wish that I could
reeull his name, but itis doubtful if it
will ever be known. — Louisville Courier-
Journal.

cap:
Choice of Occupation.

Parents often complain that their
sons have been to school ail their lives,
have no choice of oceupation, or that
they choose to be accountants or clerks,
instead of manufacturers or mechanics.
These complaints are invariably unrea-
sonable ; for how em one choose at all
or wisely when he knows so little ?

1 contident y eliove that the develop-
ment of the manual elements in school
will prevent those serious errors in the
choice of a vocation which too often
wreck the foadest hopes. It is not as-
sumed that every boy who enters a
manual training schvol is to be a me-
chanic ; his training leaves him free.
No pupils were ever more uaprejudiced,
better prepared to look below the sur
tace, less the victims ofa faise gentil-
ily, Some fiud that they bave oo taste
for manuai arts,and will turn into other

MORRIS & IRELAND'S

NEW IMPROVED PATENT EIGHT: -FLANGE FIRE-PROOF SAFE.

Safe in the world, aud containing more improvements than ANY

SAFE made, such as :

ist. THE PATENT INSIDE BOLT WOR K, which is placiag the bolt work with the
whole of the filling (six inches) between it and the outside, that is, as far from the tire and
thief as if can be.

2ad. THE PATENT HINGED CAP—the back plate of ‘the door being on hinges,
enabling the owner, by turning a thumbscrew, to have eesy access to the lock and boit-
work. He can thus easily change the Ieck, clean, oil, and keep the bolt-work in good order,

3rd. IRON INSIDE LINING, stronger than wood, and which retains the moisture in
the filling for an indefinite time. Wood is thicker and weaker, and after a few years absorbs
the moisture and ‘‘requires filling over ag ain,

4th, FOUR-WHEEL COMBINATION LOOKS, the simplest, strongest, most efficient
and easiest to change of any in use.

5th. SOLID ANGLE IRON FRONTS, BACKS AND CORNERS, which prevents
warping or injary to safe from falling, or falling walls or timbers.

6th, LIGHT FLANGES—the most imp rtant improvement ever made in fire-proof
safes, providing e'ght laps, thus preventing the passage ot heat, it having to psss over twelve
inches, no injury arises from this source, as in other safes containing one, two or three flanges.

THESE SAFES have stood the test of years, and the gre atest fires on this continent,
and have the CHAMPION KECORD in the Boston, Chicago and Haverhill Fires.

We are selling these safes as low as any good safe, and are disposing ef Jarge numbers
throughout the Dominion
