Man Saves Train From Accident.
. . :, i . i i . '
Pendleton, Jan. 13. (Special) But
for the chance discovery of a broken
rail a few minutes before No. 17 was
due in this city, that passenger train
might have met a serious accident this
morning. G. F. Parker, owner of the
taxicab service in this city, made the
discovery and flagged the train before
it reached the damaged piece of track.
'The broken rail was right on the
Court street crossing in the east end

of the city and Mr. Parker discovered
it as he was making a trip to the St
Anthony hospital a few minutes be
fore No, 17 was due. ... The rail was
broken a few feet from a joint and
the end had been bent to that it
stuck up in the air. Mr. Parker
remained by it until the train ar
rived and stopped it with a signal.
By running very slowly the train
was drawn over the damaged place
and a delay of only a few minutes
resulted. The rail has since been
repaired. It is believed that rail
was broken by a freight train which
passed over it a short time before No.
17 arrived.

I Gossard Corsets adapt themselves
'perfectly to the present demands of
jfashion.
The change effected in the figure
jline when fitted to a Gossard corset
will amaze you. Gossard corsets all
have the long skirts and you cannot
detect the lower line of boning so
carefully is it done. With the Gos
sard there are no lines, except the
beautiful natural lines of the figure.

BRILLIANTS.
Did we not bate the necessary
toil
Of slow correction and the pain
ful file . .
Illustrious youths with just con-
" tempt receive.
Nor let the hardy poem hope to
live
Where time and full correction
.don't refine,
The finished work and polish
every line?
From Horaeo's Art of Po
etry. Borne of your griefs you have
cured,
And the sharpest you still have
. survived; ...
But , what torments of pcln
you've endured
From the evils that never ar
rived! ' French Proverb.'
It fortifies my soul to know
Tlint though I perish truth is so;
That bow so e'er I stray and
range, '
Wuute'er I do thou dost not
change. v
I steadier step when I recall '
That if I slip thou dost not fall.
Arthur Hugh Clough.
BITS OF PHILOSOPHY.
He hears but half who hears
one party only. Aeschylus.
Prejudice renders a man's vir
tue his habit uud not a series
of unconnected ucts.- Through
just prejudice his duty becomes
a part of his nature. Burke. ,
He who Is sorry for having
sinned is almost Innocent Sen
eca. All persons as they become
less prosperous are the more
suspicious. They tnke every
thing for an effort and from
their conscious weakness pre
sume that they are neglected.
Terence.

TO A MOUNTAIN DAISY.
Wee, modest, crimson tipped
flower,
Tbou's met me in an evil hour,
For I nmuu crush amang the
stouro
Thy slender stem.
To sparo thee now Is past my
power.
Thou bonny gem.
'
The flaunting flowers our gar
dons yield,
High sheltering woods and wa's
mnun shield;
But thou beneath the random
field.
O' clod or stnne,
Adorns the lilstlo Rtlbble field,
Unseen, alnne.
There, in thy scanty mantle clad,
Thy snawle bosom sunward
spread,
Thou lifts thy unassuming head
In humble guise,
But now the share aptears thy
bed
And low thou lies!
