He is a man of six feet and weighs aoo pounds He is heav ily interested in gigantic busin- s enterprises and thinks in big fig ures. Yet withal he is as genile as a child and has a heart as b g aa a barrel, and carries the burdens and Borrows of mauy. People, especially tbe widows and the cr pbans, the friendless and the home less, seem to trust liiui iustinctiv e ly. He carries the confidence of many, and shares the sorrows of all. Just the other day, in con vers 1- tion thethought was suggested tli t it seemed strange that a man with his muliplicity of interests should be so thoughtful and careful f>r those round about him, aud reas- >n for it was asked. The big man grew thoUghtf il and, leaning his head 011 his hand, made reply; •'I think I am what I am be cause of the soug my mother mod to sing!" Well, here was a new thought, fresh from the mines of truth: ' I am what 1 am because of the son mother used to sing!" . There have been given by suc cessful men many reasons for suc cess. They have laid down uin iy pertinent rules for other young men to follow, but rarely, if ev r, did you hear of a man saying tli.it the songs sung, or crooned, by 11 is mother had played a part in the development of his character. Theu the man began talking of the songs that his mother sang as she went round about the house in the humble, yet necessary, duties of his boyhood days. lie tuld that while he was just a bov, and there was little or uo news from the 'front", she sang: "Mine eyes have seen a vision of the Lord," . aud that she would round out the chorus of "Glory, glory halle lujah" in a wonderful way. Thctl as he was telling of these songs that mother had sung, the te: rs came to his eyes and he said: "Boys, I never hear those songs today but what 1 see the face of my dear mother, aud somehow those songs she sang gave me a love for home and country tint makes old America the dcircst .spotof all to uie." ' Then he paused for a mom. lit and said: ' There was another song she] used to sing that has helped uie. I was then a young . man of twenty-One or twenty-two, perhaps a little older: 1 had learn ed to swear, gamble and drink, and was rather proud of my ac- . complishuients, but mother didn't say a word. She began to sing in her now trembling voice about Ihe wandering boy, and there was one line that rang in my ears: 'I 1 ve him, he knows —where is my hoy tonight.' And one night I wait to her, told her I'd cut it all o it. I tell you she was glad to hear me say that said her prayers were be ing answered. But it was mighty bard, I tell you, for where tfe li\ ed the boys were prettv rough, and I didn't want to run with the old men who had one foot in the grave, for I was full of sport and 1 i te. So I thought I'd couie to the city, aud when I told mother she began mak ing preparations for me, and tlien the just began to sing another song: "Shun evil companions, had language disdain: God's name hold in reverence, ; nor take it in vain; Be thoughtful and earnest,, kind J hearted and true." "And that song just impressed ] itself "on my life, and iu every J time of trouble and trial I've just j heard mother singing the dear old | gongs, and somehow and in some J way they have kept me true to the ] line of truth and duty." kj they songs of rejoicing now | that she has come to* old age, be- j cause you her boy, are a good man? ( Are tbey songs of triumph, now : that she has gone "Home," be cause you, who always will be her hoy, are walking in her footsteps, , and going to join her in the songs jgjppltyted and weary, sorrow- Stops Falling : Ayer'a Hair Vigor, new tm-l proved formula, will certainly 1 stop falling of the hair.

No. 4, the through train from the coast, waa received about midnight from the west, so that when I came to work ahe wna pretty well over tbe district. "Ijlbe had lieen laid out a numlier of minutes meeting a anowplow,, which waa b 'lng aent weat with nil poaalble haste. but aside ftoin that mid a few mlnutca' delay cauned by allpiiery ralla ahe waa nearly on time.

It wu* all my fault, I presume, eveu though they do any I wu* not technically responsible. A* I eitered tbe office Collin* wa*'ait ting al tbe desk, uud from the manner/ In which be paired bin pipe I could tcj/ ho had been having all be could lisnrtfe.

"After explaining a few of the ordera he had given Collin* put on III* over coat and cap nnd weut out Into the night. Beating myself at the desk, I glanced over tbe train sheet and fig ured upon several ordera to be given. I guesK I had lieen thinking übout my sick family. I don't know what el*e could have been In my mind- certainly 'my work wa* not—when I called the operator nt C., and he copied an order making a meeting point at Dwlghtvllle between No. 4 and No. 7. "A* the operator at P., the first night office the other Hide of Dwlghtvllle, did not answer, I sent tbe order first to 0., with the Intention of later repenting it nt r. I then made another meeting point lietween the suowplow and a freight train on tbe west end nnd set tled back In my chair to enjoy a smoke. There was no one-nromul save tbe op erator In the outer office, nnd he was asleep. 1 called P. station, but could not raise It. I called Dwlghtvllle, but could not get nn auswer. Time was getting short, nnd 1 grew nervous. Presently Dwlghtvllle called 'Dl,' and I answered, when the Instrument con veyed to my ear* 'Telegraphic incident report.' "It struck terror to my heart, and I almost lost my self control. Then fol lowed the report In all It* harrowing detail* as best tbe operator In his nervous haste could send It. No. 4 had met No. 7 In a cut east of Dwlghtvllle, and as. tliejcnglneers wero running through ii)»ffcut nt full speed to strike with, their own plows any drift thjU might have been there the collision wa* u terribly one.

Hell Itself would have no great er terror for uie' than did those mo ments. I stood as If hi a trance, and words can never express the feeling of horror that came over me. "It makes me shudder to relate It, and 1 shall never get over a feellug of guilt that haunts me day and night. The passengers were badly ahakeu up, but uouo of them was lujured. Tbe thought that I bad lieen responsible for the death of two of my owu friends and acquaintances and by my careless ness bad brought grief to the family of the postal clerk almoat drove me mad. I left tbe office that morning for the last time. The catastrophe *0 un nerved me that I doubt If I could even handle a key now. "The accident was a shock to the community. An inquest was held at which I was entirely exonerated of blame, aud the su(>erlnteti£ent revest ed me to return to work, but all that does uot relieve my feellnga. Collins tendered hi* resignation the next day, and I have lost all trace of him. You see, he had received the report over the wire that No. 4 had passed Dwlght vllle, but did not put It on the train sheet. Ho told me of the report and I forgot It, so that we wore both respon sible for the accident and Ita terrible results.
