We were only a few yards from the track when Mrs. Heard saw the train coming and shouted. “We were going about 25 miles an hour. I at once shut off my engine and applied the brake, but it failed to work. Seeing that a collision was un avoidable, I leaped from the car and shouted for Mrs. Heard and my son to do likewiFe.

The car was running as fast as my train, and had plenty of time to* cross the tYacks in front of me. “When the machine got to within about ten yards of the track, it slowed down and rolled up until the front wheels of the car were on the tracks. Then it stopped. I at once applied the airbrakes, but too late to have any appreciable effect on the speed of the train." How and Why to Eat Watermelon Fool, but do not chill Mr. Meion.

"In most of the large parishes of the Episcopal Church throughout the country we find men like Belmont and the late J. P.

The Episcopal Church is not sincere in its present assumed attitude toward labor. “My own ecclesiastical superior Bishop Rhinelander, was elected two years ago," said Mr. Richmond, “largely through the push and pull of Wall street Interests, corporation law . | yers and social idlers, together with a few of our clergy among whom tow- i ered pre-eminently the Rev.
