Tha specialist is the man who succeeds and having once set his hand to an occupa tion one dare never leave it under pen alty of failure in what he has chosen aa his life work. In tha west all this was different. Versitility was a necessity. The successful man must know how to do many things. The gleanings of any one field of activity were too small to afford a living of themselves. This fact was accepted by the citizens of th country, sometimes with a grim humor which marked the west. A young lawyer in ' a western town had out a sign which read: "John Jones, attorney-at-law. Beat estate and insurance. Collections promptly attend ed to at all hours of the day. or night.

This excited the purchasers to ask questions about the mode of calcula tion, and to give Chan sums to do. The party found that tbe merchant from the orient had marvelous talent in hand' ling figures.

On the rnorfiing of the accident Aa derson dreamed tbat ha had .been in a collision, that he had been pinioned be neath his engine, and that the escaping team had begun to burn his flesh, when ha awoke. ' Anderson waa troubled, by the dream and told bis family about It. He aaid he felt tbat there was a warning in the dream, and he waa almost per suaded not to go out on the road that day, but he went. Anderson talked to his flreman about the presentiment. It evidently preyed upon his mind, for ha became abstracted in manner and al most heedless of his surroundings. Tha nearer the train approached its destina tion tbe mors distraught Anderson be came, and ha had the appearance or dreaming again aa ha went about hla work in the cab. Be did not give his usual attention to tha fireman, and tha latter felt that something waa wrong with the engineer. At pinffs Conductor Garrison got tha orders at the depot and took them to Anderson. The engineer beard them read and attended to the reading in tha same absent-minded manner that had marked his conduct throughout the morning. Taking tbe copies, ho me chanically placed them under hla aeat cushion. As the conductor turned awar from the cab Anderson called him back and aaid: v- I am going to hava ona of tha moat awful wrecks you aver heard of." Tha conductor waa startled, and asked him what made him aay this. I know it is so, replied Anderson, "because I had trouble with my engine all last night and could not sleep. I am going to have a h-ad-on collision.' Garrison told him he had only suf fered a nightmare. Anderson shook hla head gloomily and aaid ha knew the ac cident would occur. Anderson's orders instructed him to meet a local freight at Naples and wait for that train to take the siding.' When the point was reached Anderson gave nolndication of topping his engine, and aa" the train daahed by 'the switch the fireman aaw his engineer sitting aa if in a trance. At the aame moment he aaw the local coming down upon them. . A collision waa inevitable and the fireman sprang " for the footboard, crying to the en gineer to Jump. .

Tha chief mediators in the affair were honey bees a whole swarm of them. . After short service at the house the body was taken to tbe family tomb In another part of the town. Willis Smith, tbe rejected suitor, one of tbe pallbear ers, rode in a carriage ahead of the! hearse, and Misa Milly Loring, the . woman in the case, occupied a top buggy driven by Mr. Clark, and brought up the rear of tha procession among the neighbor and friends. As soon as th tomb' was unlocked and the coffin taken to its resting place great crowds of angry bees swarmed out, stinging kindred, friends and bearers, until ' everybody howled with pain. Mr. ' Clark, the roan who was escqrting Misa Loring, jumped from his carriage and ' fled for a stream of water 20 rods away, whereupon his horse got up a brisk runaway right among the mourners. The animal had made ona circuit about the cemetery and was bolting througet the gate for a two-mile home run, when ' it was caught by Mr. Smith, who led it to a place of safety, and did what he could to alleviate the distress of Misa Loring. Meantime the men of the party had built a fire, which scorched th wings of the beea and a used them to fall to the ground. Whan Mr. Clark returned from tha atream he found Mr.' Smith and Misa Loring sitting side by aide applying wet clay to their bee stings. Both wera eating honey and talking aa if they had always been friend. Mr. Clark took hia horse and drove home without ask ing any questional Of. T. Sua. .
