No one was "hurt and it is presumed the train was running at slow speed at the time of the wreck. The engine struck a rock and jumped the track and a car immediately be- hind it was derailed.. Nevertheless, it took a great deal of time to clear the main line for traffic again arid the de- layed morning trains are now marked up at t ,0J LUo ttiiciuuuii. PRESENCE OF MIND." The way Two Lngnsnmen twapturea Four Hundred Prisoner :l , Toward the close of the peninsular . war, 400 prisoners were captured by John Colborne." afterward Field Mar shal Lord Seu ton . Coiborne. who was wounded ut Tain vera, had been dis abled for some time, but in 1813 be was in uctive service uguin. and when Wellington urmy crossed the frontier into F'rnnce he performed what wus in deed the niost nniuzlug feut of bis ca reer. - When riding, with no comrade but the famous Sir Uuury Smith, separated from his column, he saw 400 French soldiers passing ulong a ravine below him. "The only way was to put a good face on the mutter." he wrote. "So I went up to them, desiring them to sur render. The officer, thinking, of course, the column wns behind me, surrender ed his sword, saying theatrically, 'Je vous rends cette epee, qui a bion fait son devoir.' (1 surrender this sword, which has done its duty well.) The 400 followed bis example." Sir Henry Smith used to declare that be bad never seen such cool presence of mind as Colborne displayed on this occasion. London Spectator. 8anger' White Elephant. "I was exhibiting 'the only white elephant ever seen in tbe western world,' " relates Lord George Sanger in his book, "Seveuty Years a Showman," "when I was honored by a visit from King Edward,, then Prince of Walea After the performance I conducted the prince through the stables and showed him ail there was to see. When we came to tbe . 'white elephant' stull his royal, highness suddenly turned to me and snld. 'Sanger, Is this really one of the sacred white elephants? i "To this I replied: 'Well, your royal highness, a showman Is entitled to practice a little deception on the crowd, but 1 should never think of deceiving my future : king. It is certainly : a 'white' elepbnut in fact, a very white elephant, but only because we . give him a coat of special whitewash twice a day I' " POLICE OF DERLIII.

The Civil 8trvle 8ytem, ; : ; "When yog arrive at a railway sta tion in Berlin," said a professional man who spent a year In Berlin, "you are not surrounded by a clamoring crowd f cab drivers, somo of whom a stran ger would be foolish to trust. You tell a policeman what you want whether a cab or a porter and be gives you a number. When you emerge from the station a uniformed governmental em ployee, ' either cab driver or porter, stands at attention and salutes you In a military manner. He has beeu or dered for you by the policeman inside, and when he presents his number, cor responding to the one the policeman gave you. you can trust Dim to take you or four luggage wherever it la to go. The government Is responsible for tbo safe arrival of yourself and your luggage at' botel or other destination. If the porter should run away with your belongings the government would reimburse you. "The police syBtem ts wonderful. The officers carry no revolvers or clubs, only swords. Each one has only a mail beat to cover a couple of blocks or so that be has time to be the moni tor of the moral conduct of every per son in his district Be knows exactly what each person Is doing, where be it working, how be la spending bis leisure time and whether be Is behaving him self. There Is very little crime, and the police courts have little business. ' "If you commit an offense you are not drugged off to a police station. In- tend, your name and address are tak en by i hp omcer In the district, and the next day a letter Informs you that you hnve been fined an amount In keeping with the character of your offense. You lire told I but you either can send the money by messenger or appear at the prefect's office for trial ut a certain time. - It doesn't pay to give a police man a wrong address either, because the system is so perfect that they will find you anyway and One you more. ' "The policemen are t Instructed to prevent Infractions of tbe law. not to wait for persons to get Into trouble and then arrest them. - Euch policeman has such a small district to cover that you can find one whenever you want one. He sees that bis district is kept clean, that each bouse In it is sanitary and that each resident gets fair treatment from his neighbor. Disputes are settled wlttj no thought of appeal, before they ever get to the police station. ' i' "Soon after I urrlved I was on my way to tbe university one morning and saw a policeman at a cab stand ex amlning tbe hoofs and backs of tbe borseSl the harness and the cushions .'and wheels of the cabs. , " 'What are you doing?' I asked him politely. ' "'As a representative of. my govern ment.' be replied, 'I am Inspecting to gee tJjnt the paBsengera of these cab. men ore ng8ured a Bafe journey with ; them.

If such a lowly worker becomes disabled the government association of his dis trict gives him a certificate -' to any physician for whom ho may have n preference. It is good for two weeks, and the physician is assured, through the association, that the government will pay hlin. If more than two weeks' medical attention Is required the as socintion issues a new certificate. The disabled worker pays for his medicines In the snme way. The physician gives him a certificate on the druggist, and the latter Is not allowed to .charge more than tbe customer's station lu life Justifies.' "A ride on the governmental rail ways assures you absolute comfort and safety. They laugh at our 'spread ing rail' and 'washout' accidents over here. The construction of German rail ways won't permit the tails to spread. And after a train passes over a certain stretch of track a walker follows along behind to see that all Is safe before toother train is allowed to use It. "There Is no political graft. The mo ment a man goes to work for the gov ernment be is disfranchised. He Is under civil service, and he has a life time job If he gives good service, but the others do the voting. ' "I met an Amerlcnn lawyer who re sides there and rather marveled at his ability to make a living. I told Mm about it " "I make a good living, be explained, 'by telling Americans bow to keep out of trouble. And I tell tbein if they take their cases to court they must expect exact Justice.
