of going across, wheeled suddenly and
started down the track in front of the
locomotive. The train was running
at full speed and in less than half a
minute overtodk the vehicle and
completely demolished it. Mr. Parks
and Mrs. North were also struck by
the locomotive and instantly killed.
Mr. Parks was one of Coweta's wealth
iest and most prominent citizens and
a brother of T..B. Parks, of Atlanta,

TOMMY'S DISCOVERY.
PUCK. '
Twa, vh a, ,
Were hghUy flitUng from u
That Tommy to his mother saifc
"'Twill soon be Christ., now ,
"I hope thatSaaUClaus will britur
Alot of things for tne this rear
I II be as glad as anything
When Christinas morning's here.
"I hope ha'll bring a scarlet sled,
For gliding switly dawn the bill
And that with candies green and rol
My stocking long he'll AH.
"I want a little -gun to pop
The kitten when she's fastasleep;
I want a pretty humming top,
I want some bleating sheep.
I want a book of fairy tales
1 want a nest of picture blocks
I want a boat that swims with wiU,
I want a jack in a box."
ONE WEEK BEFORE CHKISTVAa
This morn said Tommy, full of glee.
As to bis mother dear he ran:
"Old Satna Claus indeed must be,
A very nice old man 1 "
Then shouting in his boundless joy
Ho soon relief in dancing found,
And was indeed the happiest boy '
For miles and miles around.
"I know he heard me when I told
You, mother, what I wished he'd bring
Beneath her spectacles of gold
She smiled at such a thing.
"It's so," said Tommy, with a bound
That showed he hadn't any cares;
' The toys I wished for I just fouud '
'Way up the garret stairs."

Christmas week makes weak pocket-
books. -
Better , a paid pork chop than a fat
turkey on utick."
The man who quarrels with his wile
cn Christmas day is worse than a horse
thief.
U Blessed are the babies on Christmas
day; they can be put off with cheap
candy.
It is sad to note that the average
Christmas stocking is longer than nios-t
purses. .. "
If you must give !he boy a drun
give him a drum of figs; he'll mak
hole in it quicker.
The old saying that "hanging h to
good for them" is never understood t
apply.to Christmas stockings.
There are no Christinas presents ti
tradesman gives with better grace tu
receipted bills. Give him a chance.
The head of the family expeu
many dollars on presents and receir
wo handkerchiefs and a patr ot mi..
Then s the time, to be merry.
A flat purse means a stout Chris
mas tree.
It's a foolish girl who "kicks" k
beau before Christmas.
The small boy cannot be judged U
is conduct on Christmas eve.
The Rain Saint.
St. Swlthun lived In the ninth cen
tury. He was chaplain to King Eg
bert, tutor of Alfred the lireat, ana
died pishop of Winchester. He was
buried in the churchyard oi tno
cathedral. They made a saint of
him and built a shrine toblsmen
ory in the cathedral. When this was
finished It was resolved in 'J71 to re
move his remains from the church
yard and reinter them In the shrine.
The saint seemed to object to oeing
disturbed, for an old writer says
that he "protested weeping." Ia
other words, the 15th of July, oa
which the ceremony took place, was
a wet dav. Out of this simple oc
currence arose in later years th
well-known legend that If it rained
on St. . Swithun's day (July 15) it
would rain for forty days afterwards
Perhaps we ought to be thankful
that the inventor of the story did
not make it eighty days. We are
likely to be still more thankful that
the tale has no foundation in fact.
