A Railroad Han’s Prayar.
Not long since an old railroad
man who drifted in a church where
a revival service was going on, was
asked to lead in prayer. He said:
“Oh, Lord now that I have flagged
Thee, lift up my feet off the
road and plant them safely on the
platform of the train of salvation.
Let me use the safety lamp known
as prudence, make all the coup¬
lings on the train with the strong
link of Thy love and let my hand
lamp be the Bible; and, heavenly
Father, keep all switches closed
that lead off on sidings, especially
those with a blind end. Oh Lord,
if it be Thy pleasure, have every
semaphose light along the line
show the white light of hope, that
I may make the run of life ‘with
out stopping. Aud Lord, give us
the ten commandments for a
schedule " H and when I’ve finished
the run on schedule time, pulled
into the great dark station of
death, may Thou, the superinten¬
dent of the Universe, say, ‘Well
done, thou good and faithful ser¬
vant, come and sign the pay roll
and receive a cheek for Eternal
Happiness.”—Ex.

Washington, Ga., Dec. 29.—
The Missis Battle, two elderly
maiden ladies living at Barnett
Junction, Washington branch of
the Georgia railroad, were robbed
at an early hour this morning of
$6,000 in gold.
The robbers entered the house,
and the women hearing the noise
investigated.
They started through the house
with a lighted lamp, coming sud¬
denly upon the burglars. One of
the men suddenly seized a bucket
of water and dashed its contents
on the kdy holding the lamp.
The robbers then escaped.
An alarm was quickly raised.
When help arrived it was found
the robbers, before leaving, had
rifled the trunk containing the
money.
The Misses Battle lived alone
in the house. Several previous
attempts to rob them have been
made during the last few months.
A few weeks ago an entrance into
the house was effected. The
trunk was carried out into the
yard and broken open, but the
robbers failed to get the money.
The ladies believe the robbers
were white men, claiming to have
recognized one of them.
World’s Largest Ink Pot.
The most unusual curiosity m
the strange uncanny land by the
Colorado river is what the natur¬
alist iu California call a lake of
iuk. The scientific journals of
Los Angeles and San Diego have
discussed time and time again
what the lake of ink really is. It
is about an acre in erea- The sur¬
face of the lake is coated witk
ashes from the volcanoes to the
thickness of about half a foot,
and the explorer in these parts
who is not looking out for this
freak of nature would be very apt
to walk into it.
Surveyors have found that the
lake is some 300 yards deep in
some places, but no bottom can
be found in others. There is
nothing but theory as to the
source of the supply of the lake,
but no one seems to know the
component parts of the acre of
black fluid. The Indians say It
is composed of the blood of bad
Indians who are suffering in their
hell amid the volcanoes.
Samples of the lake have been
brought to Yunna and Los Angeles
for test and examination. It is
good for common marking pur¬
poses. Cotton goods that have
been soaked with the strange black
fluid keep their color for months,
even when exposed to the sun,
and the goods have a stiffness
that is somewhat like weak starch.
A gallon of th^ lake fluid was sent
to the Smithsonian Institution
the other day for analysis.—Ex.
