SONG OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.

Away! away! on_the rolling wheel, I run over leagues of land, And ever obey, as I rush and reel, - The curb of a steadfast hané! The wind is fleet, but never so sure, And the wings of the eagle tire, Bu* I for a thousand miles encure With the force of unwearied fire.

Hand on throttle and eye 2head, . This man whom I obey : Is brave as a hero who has led : An army to victory; I follow the iron trail, 'tis true, Oversand over again, Yet I bring my master safely through The danger we both disdain!

1 climb the mountain and cross the stream, -1 glide o’er the level plain, And sing the mighty ‘‘Song of Steam’” To the creeping country wain;: If you lay your ear to the lowly earth

‘e WON FROM : : : | THE FLRAMES § . 158 :BY T.S BREEN, g ' _ . THH R HHRRR O S H R (Cépyright, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.) i 5 2 \ YREAT Horest fires had been numer- | G ous that spring in the mountainous | districts. of northern Arizonai There | had been two dry years in siilccession, leaving the country a veritable tinder ‘ box. -Added to this were the heavy and persistent spring winds that would | fan a small spark into a raging hell in ‘ a few hours. : | The government\oﬁicers and line-i . riders were kept on a constant move to save the country from conflagra- * tion. The country was sparsely set-i tled. 'Here and there, miles apart, where a small seep or spring furnished them water, a settler would sometimes be found, deep in the woods. A rougher and more rocky country never Jay outdoors. Canyons split it up in all directions; mesas were covered with pine timber and on the rocky, seamy sides of the hills were thick cedars and - chaparral, making a tangled jungle that even the old pioneers would oecasionally get lost in. - It was late in the spring when the‘ biggest fire of a decade broke out, and | at a time when the wind was blowing | a terrific gale. It marked as high as 60 miles an hour, falling ‘at sunset,‘ seemingly to rest for the coming day when it would break cgut again with renewed foree. - . - A small camp fire left unattended started the sea of flame on its journey of destruction. A heavy wind was behind lit, driving it due n01;21 toward - the highest peaks of the thountains, The government rider in charge of the distriet fought it for two days with what help he eould get from the ranchers, but on the third day it broke away from him. He rode to the nearest telegraph station and wired his superior officer for help. - Help which ~was 20 miles away, and soon a force of 20 men was on its%way as fast as horses could run. The driver rolled and swayed in his seat, bracing now and then against his seat-mate as the four-horse team swung around the sharp curves and over the rough road. Smoke covered the whole country - for miles around; valleys were filled with it. and great black clouds hung over and hid the mountain peaks. As far as the éye could reach there was a leaping, twisting, roaring sea of flame. As the night wore on, the smoke settled more closely to the ground and shut out the moonlight, “adding more to the awful beauty of the \\'ild)’scene; giant trees blazing ‘ from root te the topmost branches gave out their spectral, shimmering light, whieh seemed to gain in size until they appeared many times their actual size and height. . Above the din and roar came the occasional boom of a distant tree as it crashed' down into the canyon below upon the rocks; up steep mountain sides the flames rolled and crackled, darting here and there, licking up everything in its reach; the wind whirled it here and there; boiling smoke rolled close to the ground, covering the men and choking them until ‘they were ‘nearly strangled; now and then they would come stumbling out:of the black smoke and stagger away to get their breath. Then after a few gasps of fresh air got by lying close to the , ground, back they would go again, black and begrimed; beating the fire out here, chopping and cutting away - logs, fighting like fiends to stop the spread. .. Along toward morning, Charlie Lewis, one of the regular range riders of -the district, came up to the officer in charge of the reserve, with an anxious look on his begrimed and sweaty face. “Captaie,” if T ain’t mistaken, there’s a ranch over there in that draw about a mile to the left. I hadn’t thought of it before, but old man Williams . lives there. He moved back there about a month ago with his : daughter. I think something oughter be done to see if he ain’t got out of there before the fire runs onto him.” “Good God, man, no one could get through this living hell for a mile - and come out alive. Unless,” he added, half to himself, - ““unless there happened to be a break in the fire line somewhere that split it around a canyon.” : e ‘ “Well, I'll tell you, cap, if you'll jest let me try I may be able to do something fer ’em. I ain’t worth a dam, nohow, and it won’t hurt much ~ if T don’t make it. I know most of the country like a faro layout, so does my brone. If I dop’t get through, cap—why, it’ll be the right kind of a start fer me in the next world, ennyhow,” he said, with a little deprecating laugh. ' - The_ cap, as he called him, grasped - him by}fthe hand, mumbled something under his breath that sounded li?(e

Stevenson, in Chicago Inter .Qcean.

“d—d fool,” wiped something out of his eyes, and said: “Well, go ahead if you are bound to. - In a short time Charlie had secured his little sure-footed beast, and soaking his clothes with what water could be spared from the: drinking water in’ the canteens he was ready’ for’ the journey, As he spurred his horse down into the fire, the men gave him a cheer. He waved his big hat at them g.nd was gone amidst the smoke and falling logs. Trees and undergrowth were not thick and there were patches lefti here and there unburned owing to the ledges of-rock and huge piles of bowlders. ° | He dug his spurs into the little beast and down they went, into gullies, up over steep rocks, with Charlie laying close to his horse’s neck—running, stumbling, all but falling at times in the treacherous lights and shadows of the blazing wood. Once a great pine came crashing down: a few feet in front of his horse and both. were covered with burning sparks. With a scream of pain the little horse'gatﬂened himself up again and passed in safety. By strange good luck, or by instinct of the horse, he struck a trail that led him into a road to the old man’s cabin in the draw. Here he dug his spurs viciously into the, horse’s sides and forced him t 6 the top of his speed. Straight to the cabin he went, where he half fell from his horse, burst in the door, yelling as he did so to arouse the sleéping occupants. Williams and his daughter had gone to bed, thinking themselves safe from: the fire owing to the .wind driving it to the north and east away from their home. Half asleep Williams aroused his daughter, and while she hastily dressed he broke into the corral and secured horses. It was but the work of a moment before they were on the return trip, Charlie leading the horse with the girl, followed by the old man. Down the road they went as fast as the horses would carry them through the smoke. Charlie had fhoughtfully wrapped; the girl in a blanket before the start. The flames swept so close to the ground that it was impossible to fol—‘ low the road. Williams was lost from the two ahead a short time after leaving the cabin. Lewis turned and yelled, but his voicé was drowned in the roar. To hesitate meant death. The horse behind stumbled and fell. In a moment Lewis was down beside ‘the girl and raised her in a half unconscious condition onto the saddle with him and continued his heroic ride. Almost hopelessly he spurred his staggering horse on; it seemed hours to him. Then wrapping the blanket tightly around the girl, for one more desperate effort, he jabbed the cruel spurs into both sides of his lagging bronco and plunged up a steep, hillside and through the roaring flames. He was nearly swept from his horse ‘by burning brands and partially blinded as they struck him across the face. As he reached the brow of the hill his horse stumbled and fell. In a second he was gn his feet, and with the girl in his arms started again for the outer edge of the fire. ; At last hope gone, blinded, weak from his gallant fight, scarred in a hundred places, his face and hands burned almost to a crisp, he fell exhausted with his- burden. He had reached the limit of human endurance. He had hardly fallen when he heard a familiar voice near at hand yelling to his men: “Cut away that log, men! Heave it into the canyon below.” “Help, cap; help, quick,” he managed to scream, and in less time than the telling takes Lewis and the girl ‘were whisked from the sea of flames with willing hands. In a short time ‘the girl recovered sufficient to tell the story of the wild ride, but Lewis remained unconscious for days. A search was instituted for the missing Williams as soon as it was possible to do so, but it was weeks afterward that his charred remains were found beside the bones of his faithful horse. He had wandered around in the fire until both were suffocated. . ~ Except for the effects of the smoke, Mabel Williams suffered no ill effects from the ride. Charlie’s forethought in wrapping her in the blanket had ‘saved her from burns. - The man seemed remarkably well content with his nurse during the ‘time his burns were healing. One ‘day he said to her: - “I think I'd ought to have te pay for that horse and saddle, Mabel — mighty good horse and double cinch saddle, too.” : -“I don’t think you should have more than You cam carry, Charlie—on a warm day, anyhow.”. . “Ouch, May, that’s. my sore 'arm that I got foolin’ round in the fire; you’ll have to hug me on the other side.” : And pay for that horse and saddle is.a stapding joke between them yet.

Fur as a Trimming for Scasonable Gowns &% & _ I It Is Used in a Great Variety of Ways and l With Excellent Effects.

ICHNESS and variety are F the passwords of the seaW= son’smodes. Innowayare r&\ 'D' these two words illustrated =Y better than in the matter o ; of furs. There was a time, not so very long ago, when fur capes, fur collarettes, muffs and a sealskin coat of a regulation pattern had to satisfy our winter requirements.

Now fur is used in a variety of ways that were undreamed of a few years ago. Our coats are fashioned of sealskin or caracul in all the latest modes; we wear fur about our throats in as many different ways as we wear our skirts; we bury ourselves in high collars of fur, and decorate our gowns in a hundred becoming ways with beautiful skins. : 3 The fact is that the fashion makers have taken advantage of the times to enforce a display of the most expensive materials of all kinds embracing laces, fabrics and furs. That they have accomplishéd their purpose is evidenced by- the elaborate display of these materials seen in every city and town and in every store thruughéut the country. This expensive tendency of the fashions of the day may not be appreciated by ali of us, but we all must follow to the extent of our ability. and in keeping with our place in society, or step aside for those more fortunate or more willing to indulge in extravaganees, ' An illustration of this tendency to elaborateness and expense, and to the use of fur as a trimming, is to be found in a reception gown of brown broadcloth, trimmed with velvet and narrow bands of mink. The broadeloth skirt had three deep, Van Dyke tucks just below the knees, with paiels of dark brown velvet from the waist line to the hem let in at each side and at the back. A velvet band encircled the foot of the skirt,was a narrow band of the mink above. The coat bodice had a of the mink above. 'The coat had a long habit back, and was trimmed with appliques of embroidered chiffon on each side. This opened over a vest of brown «velvet, edged with the mink, and fashioned with buttons of gold tinsel braid. There was a smail chemisette, with 'a high collar and sleeves

Andlhad togodown to the railway office and report the motorman so he could be promptly discharged. I went.” , “What was the result?” " “The man was promoted.” — Cleveland Plain Dealer.

rather *loose, with rows of machine stitching down the front and at the foot. Eight large, mother-of-pear] buttons finished the front. * The coat was .ined with the new fashionable white Mongolian fur, and had a deep turn-over collar of the same, with cuffs of the fur to edge the Dbell-shaped sleeve at the wrist.

Another coat that forms a third illustration was one of the fashionable three-quarter length garments on’ the Louis XIV style. It was made of white velour, and the high collar and deep-pointed revers were of embroidered white broadcloth edged withnarrow bands of sable. There was a vest of soft white gilk, covered with Arab lace. A soft sash of black sik at the waist line, with long ends caught in front. The sleeves were very wide at the wrist, with cuffs of embroidered white broadcioth edged with fur. e

Less expensive coats on the same order are made of black velour and trimmed with mink, astrachan or chinchilla. . 1 wonder why alterations to fursare so exceedingly expensive when the fur-sewers ap€-amongst the most miserably paid of 'all’ workers? The smallest alteration to a sealskin or sable garment, though involving no new fur, is charged several dollars to do by the furriérs; and before buying a costly fur one ought to see one’s way to endow the thing with several hundred dollars, “on’ trust, to use the income for its life,” of course; for it will cost the interest on the sum to keep the garment up to the echanges of fashion. The alterations this winter from the older fashions in furs will be tolerably ecomplete. The high collars are disappearing; though some of the new garments are still so made, it is unwise to buy them, asit givesarather o.d-fashioned aspect at once. A deep turn-down collar, preferably of a different fur, with or without revers, turned back on theschest, but not open at the throat, is the thing. Capes will always be more or less in vogue in furs,

Never have I seen a greater number of forms offered, Some of them are pretty and some quite as freakish as was the balioon sleeve of unlamented memory. When one considers all the = various modes- in sleeves it seems as though good Dame Fashion had given her undivided attention to their designing, and while there are many that are pretty and many that are not, it is quite a hard task to undertake to select from the long list the one that is best for each coat or gown. If you let the question of becomingness influence your decision you will choose the one which fits the arm closely below the elbow and puffs out well over the elbow at the back. This sort of sleeve is quite close fitting above the elbow finish, at least close without being tight fitting. ' Other sleeves with the close fitting cuff below the elbow are fuil to the shoulder above, but this is usually made of soft thin material. The mode most generally adopted this winter is the one which widens into a decided puff, or a ruffed under sleeve, below the elbow. The shirt sleeve is varied in many ways and very prettily by opening it on the outside from the wrist to the elbow, and fitting it in with plaited lace or chiffon which droops a little above the four-inch wristband. An insertion of lace with tucks on either side, down the duter side of the sleeve to the elbow, below which the material falls in a puff, makes a lovely shirt sleeve. If the insertion is narrow two or three rows may be set in between groups of .tucks. 3 : SARAH DAVIDSON.

WOMEN OF THE = ~ . UNITED STATES Regard Becana as Their Shield Against Catarrh, Coughs, Colds and Catarrhal Discases.

‘ Catarrh is an old cold. Even the strongest and most robust are liable to colds during the winter months. A coid, if neglected, is almost certain to cause catarrh of the head, which rapidly spreads through the system, setting up catarrh of the throat, lungs, stomach or pelvic organs.

Miss Lizzie Brady, No. 47 Hoyt st., Brooklyn, N. Y., writes:—'l desire to speak in the highest terms of PERUNA, the medicine which I believe is entitled to more praise than any other and to the confidence and good will of every woman in America. Last winter I caught a severe cold, which settled all over me, and as I at first paid but little attention to it I soon found that it had a strong grip on me which no medicine could cast off. 1 became weak and irritable. I felt mnervous and mentally and physically exhausted. I relished nothing I ate, and medicine only nauseated me. In my trouble I read in the paper of PERUNA. I sent for a bottle, and it proved a godsend to me. I improved slowly but surely, and in less than two months perfect health was restored to me.”

TOLD OF THE TOILERS. Without machinery one man can cultivate 12 acres of cotton. With machinery, 30 acres. England’s first cooperative society was established in 1844, at Rochdale, Lancashire, by 28 workmen, with a capital of £2B. g The Wrapper Makers’ union, which is composed of women, has started a series of strikes in New York city for higher wages and recognition of the union. i United Textile " Workers is the name of a new organization. I\?is composed of five national unions in the textile industry—the loom fixers, mill spinners, weavers, slasher tenders and textile workers, which combined. So great is the demand for window glass that one-third mlore workmen could be employed than are to be had. The trust is cutting prices to force the independents to join them in sustaining prices where it wants them to be. £

Great industrial depression continues in Europe—in England as well as on the continent, and American emigration officials expect a large influx of foreign working people during the next few years. . ' Chicago possesses the largest bascule bridge in the world. This bridge has just been completed by the drainage board for the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad company at Taylor street. The bridge has two tracks, is 272 feet long and 32 feet wide. Its total weight is 4,890,978 *ounds. The structure was built by the Pennsylvania Stéel company and cost the sanitary district $500,000. The legislature of Georgia has before it a child labor law which absolutely prohibits the employment in mills of children who are under ten years of age, and further provides that children under 12 cannot work unless they have indigent parents. Another clause in the bill prohibits the employment of children under 14 years of age unless they can read and write. The measure has been favorably reported by the committee on labor. v

WITHIN OUR OWN BORDERS. In Massachusetts 44 per cent. of the population are native born of native parents and 56 per cent. are foreigners. : Over 40,000 Hungarian residents of New York city recently celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the landing of Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot, in that city in 1851. - Forty per cent. of our people are farmers, who not only feed and clothe themselves, but all the rest of the inhabitants, besides exporting annually $1,000,000,000 worth of their products. The National Live, Stock association, on behalf &f United States wool growers, demands that a law be passed to compel every manufacturer of cloth to stamp on his cloth the amount of wool and shoddy in each roll, piece or bolt of cloth produced. : There are probably more cranks in Washington than in any other city in the world. Most of them are harmless and are never molested by the police, but they are often a nuisance to strangers. One of them is an old man, from the south who believes that the late Jefferson Davis was the greatest man that ever lived: He haunts the corridors of the capitol looking for reporters and correspondents, to whom he desires to tell stories about Davis. .

for colds. : Peruna is such a remedy. If taken at the first symptom of catching cold it heals the catarrhal condition before it becomes established and makes impossible a spread of the disease. Should the cold be neglected and result in catarrh, Peruna will cure, but it wiil take much longer and will result in much unnecessary suffering. :
