We were aboard the car on our way home from Ida a few evenings ago, and at a point near the power house we noticed a young man, very much under the influence of liquor, across the track. He barely escaped being run down by the car, which was traveling at a very rapid race of speed at that particular point. As the caf rushed by, the young man turned and looked after it, an expression of maudlin surprise upon his face, he did not seem to realize that the car was anywhere in the vicinity until it shot past him, missing him only a few inches.

The narrow escape of this young iu from violent death, recalls to our mind an incident that came to our notice while traveling through the little mining towns of south-eastern Kansas a few years ago As the train pulled into this particular mining villiage we noticed that a hearse with doors opened, was backid up close to the platform. We decended from the car and made our way with the crowd of people toward the baggage car from which a number of men were slowly aud with careful hand unloading the rough box. Standing close to the car, the tears streaming down their poor old faces, was an old man and woman, whom a bystand-er told me were the father and mother of the young man who had met a violent death in a far off mining camp in Montana. As the rough box was lowered to the truck the old woman cried out, "Oh my poor laddie, my poor laddie! ,1 never thought you would come borne to me this way!" As I heard these words I could feel niy own eyes rill with tears and somthing Hard come into my throat which st emed to choke me, and I mooved closer to the poor old couple. The coffin had been removed from the rough box and was being carried toward the waiting hearse.

And as the old man passed me on his way to the carriage, I whispered to him, "Is it your boy?" and he answered, "Yes mister, its at their Anniversary Sale. It's going on now. A saving of to 40 cents on the dollar. by a rattle snake on the hand. YoU will never miss it if you buy your SHOES of US.
