A Child’s Marvelous Escape.

Recently Mrs. Somornberg, an emigrant woman with a number of children, went out on the Fort Scott train. When out some distance she fell asleep with a child about 2 years old in her arms. When she awoke the child was gone, and, although search was made, it could be found nowhere. On arriving at one of the stations the conductor of the train received a dispatch that a child had been picked up about twenty miles from that point, by the construction train, lying aft the side of the track unhurt, but crying lustily for help. It turned out to be the child of Mrs. Somornberg, and was forwarded to her by the next train. It is supposed it crawled from its mother’s arms and fell out of the window wiih the train spinning along at the rate' of twenty-five miles an hour.— Kansas City Times.
