Teaching a President DIDyouever bear of a railway presi dent running aa flrsman on an stv Kine? Well, I know of on who did, and, if you've got time to liatea to It, 1 will tell you the story now. It ws in the summer of 188J that I u firing on a slnKle track line that runs up from Junction City through Georgetown, a matter of 110 mile. The line wae owned mostly by a niaa named. Tliedford, whii preaident and superintendent all in on. I had leen firing on the line for two yea re bark; oil the time with one en gineer, Hob Hunter by name, and a finer man never lived. I suppose it would be only natural for me to speak well of Dob, anyway, for I was elean head over ears in love with baa pretty daughter Molly, and was ouly waiting for a bit of rise in my pay to make her Mrs. Martin. Though I didn't are any chance for that rise where I was, I didn't like to leave and go on another line, for that would take me away from Molly. One day Hob says to me: "Jim, ain't you and Molly never go ing to get married?" "Just as soon as I can get my rise," says I; "but I don't sea how I'm going to get it here." "Why don't you go and ask Silly T" says lis. You st-e, Hilly was always what we called Mr. Thedford behind hia hack, of course for we were mighty polite to his facs. "He won't do anything for mi," saya I, "for you know either one of the cleaners up to Georgetown would be glad enough to jump into my place, and he ain't going to give me a rise Jus to please me." "Well," says Hob, "It won't do any hurt to try it." Ho next tiny I washed up and went to the company's olllce, and asked for Mr. Thrdford. After a few minutes he sent won! to me that he would see uiu, and in I went. "Whnt is It, my manf I'm very busy," says he. Ho I up and told him what I wanted. "How much are you getting now?" says he. "Forty-five dollars a month," says I. Then he pursed up his lips, and hemmed and hawed a little and says! "I don't see how we can give you anything more, my good fellow. You aee yours is not a very responsible po sition; merely one that requires a lit tle bodily strength. And we can find plenty of men who would be only too glad to take your place at that sal ary." With that he turned to letter he was writing, and I knew I had no more business there. I tell you I felt sore to be told it didn't take much to know how to fire an engine, and I rame ntlghty near throwing my job up and trying to get on another Una. Hut Molly persuaded ma to hold on a lit tle longer. Now, before I com to the particu lar point of this yarn, I want to tell you a little about this line. I have said It was a single track one, running from Junction City to Georgetown. The latter place was little town of ftUO or duo Inhabitants; but In summer a great many people cam up there, and ao I suppose the line paid. Anyhow, Tliedford, who had a sum mer place there, was rich enough to run It for hiiikielf if he wauled to. Hob lived at Georgetown and I boarded with him. Our tripe began at eight In the morning, and we gener ally ran the 110 mllrS In five houre. Then at three In the afternoon w cum back, getting home at eight. As soon as we reached the round house nt Georgetown our day' work was over, for the cleaners took the engine then, cleaned and polished her, and laid the fire all ready to start the neil morning. 'U, as I said, I hung on to my job, hoping that aomrthlng would turn up that would give ma a lift, till one day in August. The whole summer had been uncom mon hot, but that day went ahead of anything I ever saw. Of course, while we were running we had a breece, but the minute we stopped it seemed as If we were In a furnace, and, naturally, working near a hot fire didn't improve things. On the home trip Hob waa taken sick, and had all he could do to hold out till we got to the home station, when he got home tie eoon aa nasihle. After the train wna emptied I ran the engine to the roundhouse, eipmt lug to go straight home and wash up. Hut when I ran the engine In the first thing I saw was my two eleaiiers laid out on a heap of ashes, dead drunk. Here was a pretty mesa, for It would certainly take me until midnight to get the machine In proper trim for the nrit day's run; and a hot, grrasy job it wna in any weuther, hut on such a night as t lis t It was frightful to thfiik of It. However, there was no help for it, and I si; 1 1 . i in.

I lliink he railed it, would fall through, iii il it u.mld cost him a quar ter of 11 lnillii.it.

Scott's emulsion is cod-liver oil prepared for the stomach. Let cod-liver oil alone if you need it. When your physician orders toast, do you breakfast on flour ? Pure cod-liver oil is hard to take and hard to digest. A man that can keep it down, can saw wood. 1 le thinks he is sick ; he is lazy. Wt'll nl feu s little to tor U roe like, SCOTT BOWWB, 400 Paarlatiasl, New York. "What good'll that do me?" says he. "I've been away for two days, and only just now got the telegram. If Hunter waa here he might get me down; but, a it ia, I may as well go home and let the money go." "Mr. Tliedford," said I, "Hob is sick, but I can run this insrhiiie Injunction City in time to connect with the train you want; but you will have to lire for me, as the two cleuners are drunk, a you aee, and there isn't another man in this village knows the engine from the tender hardly." I hop that I have been forgiven that lie, for there were two or three men that could have fired all right, but It struck me all of a sudden thut here was a fine chance to get even with Hilly, and let him ses whether it took any knowhow to fire an engine for a 110-mlles run. It so hapenrd that we had just wood ed up oa the home trip at a little sta tion three miles from Georgetown, so we hsd plenty of fuel alionrd to make the rua with. "Can you do It?" says he. "He mem ber, K is 110 miles, and It is H:30 now, ao you have only two and a half hours to make the run that generally takas double that time." "I esn do It." says I, "If you will Jump aboard, pull off your coat and do Juki s I tell you." No sooner said than dune, and in ten minutes we bad the old euglawon the turntable, turned her around and were off. If the road waa rough when we ran at our usual speed, that night, making double time, it was just awful. As we flew around the curves it seemed as If we should lose the track at every turn of the drivers, and the poor old ma chine rocked and swsyed so that, used a I was to it, I could hardly kerpon my seat by the lever. Jf it waa hard on me, what must It have been to poor old Hilly? I could hardly keep from laughing in his face as I watched him and heard Mm groan as he handled the heavy sticks wa used for fuel. The heat of the weather, added to that of the furnace and the unuaiiiil work, made him look aalf lie was In a Turkish bath. The water ran down his face, his stiiT white oollar hung down on his shoulders like a wet rng and his beautiful smooth shirt bosom looked aa If some one hsd thrown a pail of dirty water over him. - His hands were torn and rut from handling the wih.i1, and take it alto gether he was the moat unlike!) -look-Ing railway president I ever law. Once in awhile I had tu about at hi in to lay the wood even in the furnace, mid wou'-d trll him he would get the kuaek of It in time. Whenever he tried to rest I told lilin we were lining steam, and if he wained to rateh that train he mustn't idle over the work. If I had thought to hitch a cat on when we started we should have ruu much smoother; but It was too late to think of that now, and soon we ruihed, now through woodlands, now past grain fWlda, lurching first to one aide and then to uhe other, until I espected every minute to land wrong side up in the dltoh. However, lurk was with us that night, soil we pulled up at Junction City at juet 11.' Poor old Hilly could hardly limb down from the engine, but be managed to gasp out: "t'oine to my nfflc at two o'eloeh nert Saturday." I learned afterward that, finding the Chicago traiu waa behind time, he hunted up a slothing atorr ami ricirid himarlf out ao aa to look like a eivilied man, which he didn't when he li ft inc. 1 mauagrd to find a flri'iutwi who wna willing to make the run Inii-k with me, and 1 finally got home at three o'clock, and, Uniting the eltiinera a Ihtle ao bered up. got In bid as sm4i sa poatthlt, for I waa clean pluyed out. I tvdd Hob about my trip nest day, and thought he would die laugtiitig to think of old Hilly playing llreiuau. Hut all he aaid w sa: "I'm afraid that'll avttle your huah, Jiui, for he will find out that you worked him more than wna needed." The nut Saturday at two o'clock 1 reported at the president's btnee, won dering whether 1 was going to be re warded for my extra work or get kicked out form) impudence. When 1 entered the office there Mil the old man, spick and span aa e'er, and ahiwlug no kigitsof hia hard w-ork. "Well, young man," na.vs he, "you hrlpej me out the other night, but I would not go throuiahihe Mime riivrt eure again for flotsM. At tin same time I think you were Irving to gel even with me for not doing wlmt ion skd about your saiarv. slid 1 have t'oneliided Ihnt this line can dispell with )oiir aervieve."

The uest of honor sits on the king's riht huud aud the royal family on the left. The precedence at state dinners Is u follow: Foreign auibniisudorM take precedence of Kurliah nobles; urelibihliops rank with dukes; bishops with earls; foreign counts n:idlnroiu tnke mi precedence, but rnnk witii inglish burouets or great landed proprietors; and in entitled prece dence an eorl's ifrundson, or near relatives of the aristocracy, precede the esquires or country gentlemen; next come wives of country gentle men of no profession; then barristers and their wives, naval officers and their wives, military men and their wives. Physicians nre ranked in the my ul hotuchold as next to baronets. At private dinners uttuiiHy some moiu Ix'ts of the royal household are pres ent. The royal household numbers n limit 200. Apropos to King Kdward's new rules on precedence at his coronation, presidents will rank with kings and emperors. His argument is that he dcftiru to honor the state and not the man. No diatiuetions will be made, except pcrhnps in the cnac of near relations of the royal family. There ia no race prejudice in Knglnnd, mill had not King Kilwurd issued a de cree to the effect that widows of peers who had married coiiiuioners had forfeited thereby their prerogn tive. a pcrresM's of the realm, there would have appeared among the lat ter at West minster Ahticy on corona tion day a negress of the Hottentot type. tin slate occasions there is splen did di.-play of silver and gold, crystal and line porcelain licing more in evi dence ut private dinners. The dishes which the flunkies carry nbout must be deftly balanced on three fingers. One dinner set of pure gold will dine 1.10 guests; in another set there are too silver plates. The sideboard is decorated with a lot of golden trophiea, some raptured from the Spanish nrinada; on the walls of the hauiiiftiiig room of Buckingham pal ace nre displayed ninny gold shields,, mounted on scarlet; a peacock of precious stones, valued at 100, not); a tiger's hend with a solid gold tongue., mid diamonds for teeth. The valile of the royal plate, including services for every function, is over Jh.isiii.imki. To pay his yearly household expenses about J.MKl.niKi Is necessary, says a London exchange. To return t-o the state dinner, there lire three servants to six guests one, to mss the food, one to tnke away the empty dishes and one to go for the food, tlnvh royalty has his or her servant. The king is always waited on lv the same footman, and he is always served first; the queen has her special servitor. The meiiAs are printed on beautiful curds, surmounted by the royal arms, and with a picture of Windsor castle, Uuckliighiim palace, or whichever royal residence may be the scene of the function. The menu Is headed: "Their Majesties' Dinner;" this Is followed by the date, and after that the French name of the various dishes potnge, joiasou, hora d'oeuvre, re leva, entrees, sorbet, roti, aalnde, froinage, dessert, fruits, varies, cafe noir. The usual order is two kinds of soup, two kinds of flab. In fact, two ltiid of each course, with three different desserts and a side table of various cold meats.

The land that would he re claimed by this work would be about 710 scpiare miles. In i",...:.i ison the Engineering .News re e.-: to a work In this direc tion n iw f ','!:!? carried out along the Mississippi which will reclaim a tract of .1..V;o square miles in extent. The work of reclaiming the St. Fran cis bafin. which lies on the west bank of the Mississippi between New Madrid, in Missouri, and Helena, in Arkansas, is already well under way, only a few additional mil-'s nf levees beiirj necessary to complete the ar tificial banks which nre to hold in check tl;e flood waters of the Mie sissippi. The soil ia an ulluvial de posit, and, therefore, remarkably fertile nnd capable of the highest cultivation. A comparison of the extent of tiie St. Franc-is bnsin with the combined areas of Khode Island and Delaware gives a good idea of its mngnitiide, says the I'liilndclphia Uccoril. All of this area was recently overflowed by the Missis. .ippi. With the exception of n few gaps there hns I n con structed In this work a continuous line of levees 212 miles in length. The work has been done urnfer the supervision of the St. Frniu-is levee hoards, of Missouri and Arkansas acting in coniuneti;in with the I'liit-o Stntes government. The e;i-idit urei of the two bourd:- toget'ier to dart amount to about $l..'00.(wni. vv!iil the iro em oient has expended nb iiit 7W IKiO additional.

It is, however, not only In the ex tent of the undertaking that the St Francis basin reclamation is notable but in the very low cost nt which it has been nt-cnmpli.shed.

Many men and women will recognize in that description a sensation which they have experienced, and will recall the terrifying feeling of suffocation which accompanied it. That convulsive tightening about the heart is naturally alarming, because it indicates Bomo form of heart "trouble," and because, of the number of those whose sudden deaths are ascribed by physicians to "heart failure." The frequency of the heart failure and weak ,l.,ii nnvoin. who has trouble, The heart is the hardest worked organ of the human body. It beats on an average of 'seventy times a minute from the minute of birth to the minute of death. Every half minute or every thirty second beat the whole of the blood in the body is pumped through the heart, so that the dual heart moves about six tons of blood in each twenty-four hours. On the purity of that blood health depends. On the strength of the heart depends the strength of the body. The question then is, how can we keep the blood pure and the heart strong? That, question answers itself when wa know what is the common cause of the blood's impurity, and whence arises the tendency to heart " trouble." What is blood ? Blood is only digested food. In proportion as food is nutritious the blood is rich. In proportion as the food is properly digested the blood is pure. Indigested food clogs and corrupts tho blood, and indigestion often precedes or attends the first symp toms of heart "trouble." The first necessity to the production of pure blood is, that the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition shall be in the perfect working order of sound health, so that the food received into the stomach is properly digested and perfectly assimi lated. I'or the stomach is the vital center of the body. Xo man is stronger than his stomach, because physical strength is derived from food digested and assimilated. Deaths ascribed to weak heart and "heart failure," therefore, are more properly ascribed to weak stomach and stomach failure. It is this dependence of the heart upon the stomach which explains the cures of "heart trouble" effected by the use of Dr. Tierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It purifies the blood, eliminating from it the substances which corrupt and poison it. Even this alone would take the strain from the overtaxed heart. IJttt Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery also acts directly upon the heart itself. It strengthens the heart's action. It contains one of the best. and most efficient heart tonics known to medical practice, and as a natural consequence the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" has resulted in many notable cures of tho heart when it has become involved in disease as the consequence of disease of tho stom ach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It removes tho predisposing cause of heart trouble and makes tho weak heart strong. Mr. John L. Coughenour, of Clensavage, Somerset Co., Pa., writes: "I had been doctoring for nliout a year and a half, being unable to work most of the time. The doctor said I had heart disease and indigestion; It liegan with a choking and oppressed feeling in the chest; later on l was troubled with a hungry feeling, and 1 seemed to be raw from my throat clear down into my stomach. My npjietite was unusually poor, and I was as weak and nervous as though 1 had been starved out for months, and my heart kept throbbing continually, and I was short of breath. Finally, I wrote to you for advice, and you informed me that I had indigestion and torpid liver. I did not think your diagnosis was right, but I ordered six bottles of 'Golden Medical liiscovcry,' and began its use. After using three bottles I began to improve slowly and soon went to work, and I have been working ever since. My health continues good. I have no more throbbing or palpitation of heart." " 1 had lieen a great sufferer for several years, nnd my family doctor said I would not be a living man in two years, but, thank God, I am still living," writes Mr. George W. Trustow of Lipscomb, Augusta Co., Va. "Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is what saved mv life. I had heart trouble so had that I could not lie on mv left side without a great deal of pain. I was nearly past work when I commenced vour medicine, but I can do about as much work now as any man. I cannot say too much for the benefit I have received " Ithe V!1 ! 1 Peoples l 1 j Medical v life-by m . li: 'It :v i cki:ts TO ANIl 1 ltOM AM, Points East VIA Short Line to ST. PAUL, DULUTH.
