Commercial Club Busy. The commercial club has been busy for some time past, al though the members have not been assembling very frequently. On Monday night there was quite a representative meeting, the particular subjects under discus sion being better and cheaper telephone service, and better railway transportation. Upon inquiry with other towns it is learned that Monmouth is taxed heavier for telephone ser vice than other like towns except perhaps in one or two instances, while she gets no better service. Since the Independence Company took over the Bell service here the rate has been raised from $1.50 to $2.50 per month for bus- $1.00 to $i.50 per month. This extra tax caused a considerable number of private citizens to or der out their phones, which had the effect of making the service worse instead of better as it has narrowed the field of communica tion. A committee has been at work and will still give the matter fur ther attention, and if the com pany does not give the relief asked for, which is the old rates, the matter will be laid before the commission whose business it is to look into these things. The matter of better train ser vice has arisen because of the changes which went into effect a few days ago and has cut this section off from direct route to the State Capital. A committee has been appointed to take take up this question with Her man Hirschberg to see if better arrangment cannot be had. Hair Switches made from combings. Enquire at this office. A Flight Br CARROL H. PltiRCE. Ill all my 'xpcrleucen dm locomotive engineer luy must Interesting episode was wliwu I was driving tut express mi ttio It. L. timl ti. railroad. 1 wim sit ting on I Ik cub srut one duy waiting fur n signal to pull out when 1 saw a young couple come running down through tin alloy that led straight to tlio engine. The (ruin was it lung onu and where they came U were not very likely to lc seen lieyunil the bag gage ami express earn. The man cur ried a Milt case and the woman a hand bag. tin reaching the platform he dart oil n glaui e luuk where persona were gelling into the train, thou, looking up at me, said hurriedly: "Suy, engineer, will you let us ride with you awhile?" Vouldn't. It's eoutrary to positive orders." "Would a hundred dollarn repay you for the risk you would run?" "No, nor a thousand." He looked mighty crestfallen, cast ing glances Inn k aiming the crowds of persons who hud come to Bee friends on their Journeys, lie didn't seem to know what to do. Then the young wo man took up the matter. "tlh, do please let us ride ou your engine. My uncle Is down there look ing for me He's my guardian, and, In order to get my property. Is trying to shut uie up on a trumped up charge We've Just been married, and Henry Is trying lo get me out of the old villain's clutches, lie will not suppose lis to be on the locomotive and so we can escape." Site pleaded so passionately that she quite upset me. In order to gain time I told them to go round to the other side of the engine, where they were much less likely lo he seen. They did so, and tlie fellow said: "If you'll take us In we'll get off at the llrst stop you make. If we are captured my wife's guardian will have her arrested. If we can get beyond the state Hue he'll have to get requisi tion papers, nud that will give me time to get it lawyer" Meunwhlle the pretty young wife was looking up at me npcallugly through tear dimmed eyes, while her husband was fidgeting iilMiut as though he was standing on hot Iron. P.efore any of us could say more the signal came. I Hipped an Imaginary cent. "Heads I do. tails I don't." and It came down "heads." tfy this I mean to describe that mental process by which a man will make up his mind in a hurry on a subject the two sides of which are drawing him eager ly. My heart favored the couple; my orders told me to refuse them. "Iteally." I snld. "I'd like to favor a young couple like you. but If I do the chances are that I'll get myself dis charged, nod then whafil I do?" "You can Jiii't draw on me." said the groom, "till you get another Job." I didn't count on this at ail. but my mind was already made up. and there was no use putting them off any longer. I put out n hand to the girl, lilted her into the cub. and the innn climbed nimbly up behind her. They sat right down on fie tloor with their backs Bgiilnst the seat. 1 opened the throt tle, mid we began to roll slowly on the rails. The two youngsters were so pleased that they hugged each other. "You stay Just where you are down on the floor there If any one should see you and rexirt me for allowing you to ridi in my cab It would go hard with me." "Won't yon let nie pay yon some thing for the risk you are taking?" asked the groom. "Not a bit of It. The only excuse I have for taking you on Is the kindness of my heart excited by your story. I don't care -to put myself in worse Jeopardy by tnking a bribe." I made very few stops, the first be ing half an hour out. where there wan a draw bridge, and all trains were re quired to stop before going over It. I told the young fellow about It and sug gested that It would be a good place for him and his wife to leave the train. He asked me a lot of questions about the location and whether there was anything behind which they could skulk till the train passed on. I told hlin that there were houses lining a paved street beside the track. I would pull up beside one of them, the couple could get off and make a dash for the rear yard, but they must lose no time, for If any one Interested Id capturing them should come out on the train as soon as It stopped he would be looking out for thein In case they should leave it. Well, when we enme to the bridge I pulled up where the couple could make a bee line through a narrow space be tween two houses. Before getting down the girl threw her arms about my neck and gave me a kiss. Then she Jumped nnd was caught by her husband, and within ten seconds they were out of sight. Just as I was about to start I got a sk'tiiil to hold on. unit In a few minutes the conductor came forward with a constable and asked If I hud seeu H young man and woman leave the train, adding thai they were a pair of crooks, with a suit ease full of stolen Jewels. I could never give away even a thief ho I kept ilium. Ilesldes. I knew that If It wns known I had harbored them 1 the bii'inni of the universe would drop out ni me ! I I. vi-il afterward that 'he pair had ! es aped btil the pluudet was recov I erod j DEEP SEA WONDERS."

I "Kvcrv hour of their lile, every day, every year, i passed in tho same stagnation of hideous chunge-Icssno.-s in circiinislani'cs of almost j absolute uniformity, I'or them : there is no night; I here are no sea sons; there is no sun, no moon; there are no changes from warmth to cold or from cold to warmth, i We cannot even conceive that there is anything in I lie nut tire of sound.

We ourselves, liv j ing at ordinary levels, are subjected 1 to a constant pressure of nearly fif teen pounds on eviwy sipuire inch of our bodies. We can calculate, but only feebly conceive, what the pres sure must be at the bottom of those abysses. "Tuke again the question of light. Photographic plates let down beneath the surface of I.uku Geneva showed that ut a depth of 510 feet the effect on the plates was ; no more than that which would ho produced on a dark, moonless night. i Similar results in the Mediterra nean, whose waters are unusually i clear, were reached at a depth of l,'v'00 feet, so that we may conclude j that in general at any depth below i tli is a profound darkness exists. j This complete ubsence of sunlight at once puts out of account the pos sibility of plant life. And this nil : important factor in the economy of animal life, human or otherwise, at once raises the question, llow do I deep soa uniinids ultimately live?" Quick Wit, The lute Sir James Allport, then Mr. Allport, when manager of the Midland line, once visited a small station in the north, und, after be ing assiduously wuited upon by the porter on duty on uligbting from the train, he olTered the attentive oHicial half a crown. The man promptly pocketed the gratuity, whereupon the manager inquired: ")o you know who I am, my man?" "Certainly, sir," was the ready reply, "Mr. Allport, sir, fellow serv ant of the company, sir.
