The San Francisco Chronicle, in q re-
cent issues says: "A young lady took q
car which brought her to the foot of
California street, and there took seat
ON the dummy car, which bore her to
the vicinity Of her home on Octavia
street As she left the car and was
crossing the track upon the southern
side her foot slipped and turned and was
caught fast in the crack where the wire
cable passes. Some imperfection in the
roadbed had caused the narrow aperture
to expand, and the young girls narrow
foot was entrapped. The engineer of
the east-bound dummy saw the obstacle
on the road in season to check his swift
approaching car, and alighted, with the
conductor and several passengers of an in
vestigating mind, who endeavored to re.
lease the slender foot, but their efforts
were vain. Another car, and another,
brought up in funeral row, and constant
re-enforcements III the way of passing
pedestrians cheered and enlivened the
scene. An attempt was made to pry the
iron rails forming the cable channel
further apart but they firmly resisted all
efforts. Everybody had suggestion.
"Push your foot forward" Pull it
back" Tip it sideways" Lift your heel
higher" The unhappy girl was almost
fainting, but she persevered in her efforts
to extricate the offending member. BY
this time travel on the road had virtually
ceased. The last car had long ago
passed, and was steadily approaching to
fall into line at the rear of the singular
procession. Down town passengers fret
ted and fumed, or slowly climbed the
hill in disgust. On every street cor
ner groups of waiting people berated
the laxity of street-car management.
Reporters from all the downtown dailies
were proceeding westward to learn the
meaning of the large crowd reported to
have assembled in the Western Addition.
From the scene of the accident ENJOYS
had been dispatched to the railroad
shops to bring appliances for taking up
a section of the road. At this juncture
a tall, brawny Englishman, in the dress
of mechanic, forced his way through
the throng, and in CHEEKY voice,
marked by the Derbyshire dialect, asked:
cha We tried onfastenin' the young
leddy's shoe?"
Ten buttons few from as many button
holes; in the twinkling of an eye the
foot was free.

Advertising That Paid.

Johnny Manning, the Sheriff of Dead
wood, Dakota Territory, was In st.
Louis on business, and he remembered
that the year before st. Louis man
had been up to Deadwood and left ow-
ing a man several hundred dollars,
which was to he paid as soon as he got
home. Manning met the man in ST.
Louis. and he said he would hand him
the money the next day. but the days
passed and the money did not come,
though the man was amply able to pay.
So one morning Manning inserted per-
sonal in newspaper to the effect that if
the man who left Deadwood between two
days did not pay the money he forgot
to pay, night before, the whole circum-
stances would be published the next
day. The notice was signed John
Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood Be-
fore 8 o'clock, young man called at
Manning's hotel, and said he had seen
the notice and had come to pay 1920 he
had borrowed to get out of Deadwood.
Manning fcund out who the money was
borrowed of, and took it to carry TO the
Deadwood citizen, remarking that he
was not the man the Sheriff referred to,
but it was mighty mean Sheriff that
would not carry money to friend. The
next man to call was the one he wanted,
and he paid the money, and apologized,
and begged the Sheriff to say nothing
about il. During the day seven citizens
Of 81. Louis called on Manning and raid
him money for citizens OF Deadwood

A correspondent of a Western ex-
change. writing from a town in Indiana,
says:
One evening was in Musher's groc.
cry store, speaking with one of the clerks,
when q lady came in and asked the pro-
prietor if he would trust her for some
goods for a few days The lady was well
dressed, and 1 was rather surprised
when, after asking her where she lived,
where she had been trading and tho like,
he asked:
"Do you keep dogs?"
The lady looked somewhat astonished
at this question, but, as she was anxious
to open an account at the establishment,
she answered, after q moments hesita-
ton
"Yes."
"How many? asked the grocer.
ooh, only one."
The lady got her goods and departed,
after which Musher said to me:
Do you know that woman 2"
"No, sir; 1 do not"
Did you hear me ask her il she keeps
dogs?"
yes"
Well, you know why / asked that p
am sure do not"
"Well, sir, this is the rule I go by.
If a person keeps only one dog, 1 am
pretty sure OF my pay. On this recon.
mendntion 1 trust them one week; il
they keep two, only three days, but il
they keep three dogs / wouldn't open
an account with them if they owned hall

feeling baby fingers upon her cheek or
of ever hearing herself called mother.
This was a severe sorrow, but even
this pam was partially assuaged.
Strangely enough, one dark, rainy night,
while she and her husband were speak

brightness they bring to 80 many dwell

and then furious knocking. On OPEN

found basket inclosed in many wrap

discovered lovely little baby only q
few hours old. The child was wrapped
in one roll after another of India muslin,
and on its breast was pinned q note,
begging Mrs. Craik to be kind to the
little waif thus brought to her door, and
assuring her that no mean blood flowed
in its veins. Tenderly she lifted the lit
tie thing in her arms, and her heart
opened as warmly to take in the poor
little deserted creature. They called
the child Dorothea, God-given, and she
became their adopted daughter, as ten

loved as though she had been their own.

The bald man went to druggist and
had the prescription put up, paying
dollar and seventeen cents for it. He
asked the druggist if it wasn't little
high, but felt ashamed when the drug
gist asked him if he knew how much
aqua pura cost a gallon. He said he
didn't, but supposed it come high. The
druggist told him aqua pura was one OF
the most penetrating drugs in the store,
and as for chloride of sodium, there was
nothing like it, and the war in Peru had
sent it up kiting. He said if the trouble
in Chill kept on there was no knowing
how high it would be. The bald man
used the medicine, and felt as though it
was doing him good. His wife noticed
little new hairs coming out, and he felt
good, so when the stuff was gone he
took the bottle to the store and had it
filed again. The chap who filled it this
time was another chap, and when the
bald-headed man threw down a dollar
the drugger said, 80, never mind. We
won't charge you anything for that "
The bald man asked how that was, when
the drugger said, "Why, it is only salt
and water anyway. The salt Is only two
cents a pound, and the water il pretty
cheap this year." The bald man gave
one gasp, and said, "Well, by the great
bald-headed Elijah, I paid a dollar for
filling that bottle before, and want my
money back. 1t is bald-headed swim

didn't look plausible. The druggist
gave the man box of cigars to keep
still about it, but he won't speak to the

Iowa is On the eve of a most magnificent
folly She will, undoubtedly, at the next
session of the legislature submit to the
people the question of a constitutional
amendment, similar to that adopted in
Kansas, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
or malt liquors in the state. A mere pro-
hibitory law has been proven mistake;
but a constitutional amendment is idiotic.
But it is part of the Republican platform,
and the Republicans have shirked the
question for so long that the prohibition
lists are bound to bring them to time. The
Republican press are lodging 4he issue
most deliberately, and are showing great
dexterity in the many sides they can
take on the question. A fight is being
made by such Democratic organs as the
Burlington Gazette the Keokuk Constitution
and the Des Moines Leader, but it is a
hopeless one. The simple question at
issue in Iowa is, are you going to pass the
amendment? 1t is idle to discuss any
other The reason why its supporters
are so anxious to support the bill are diff
ficult to tell They have tried prohlbItory
laws and they have proved an ignominious
failure. What better do they expect from
the amendment? why even their own
papers are quarrelling over the mean
ing of the proposed enactment,
and many are of the opinion that it
means nothing. Kansas has not been able
vet to convict anyone under her laws, and
they are the most stringent ever passed;
how does Iowa expect to do better? Put
ting it in the form of constitutional
amendment merely rivets the burden on,
long after majority of the people want to
throw it off. 1t will become a tiresome
load, and then mo license" viii mean the
freest license, restrained by no bounds, and

The New York Tribune is back in its old
track Of stultifying its past utterances.
That papers opinions Of men is apt to
change as often as necessity and the party
demands, and it can change its opinions
with as much CELEBRITY as a circus actor his
postures. 1t is now certifying to the pure
and spotless character of Sessions. the al
legged attempted briber of Mr.. Bradley;
when it was only in 1879 that the Tribune
declared Sessions to be utterly destitute of
character of any description. 1t accuses
him of receiving brides and closes with:
''It is indeed irritating to find Mr.. Loren
B. Sessions at this late day claiming the
sideration that is awarded to men who
have lived clean lives. Mr.. Sessions has
been known for many years to the people of
this state. He is notorious in Washington
and Albany. We have heard many EN-
phatic opinions expressed about him. We
have never heard an honest Republican
speak of him with confidence"
And this has been the local opinion of
Sessions. Bradley has clean record;
whose only offence has been an intimacy
with Sessions. His word is certainly the
better of the two. Trying to build up a
plea of innocence on the strength of Ses-
sions previous character is amusing.

The Iron Age, organ of the iron manu-
facturers in Philadelphia. proposes that
the production of iron shall be suspended
in order to whoop up the price, which has
declined because of overproduction. This
is the old way of protectionists They
want to keep everything manufacturers
have to sell at the highest price They
want to keep everything the farmers has
to sell-all food-at the lowest price. To
enable themselves, if owners of iron mills,
to make money, they have no hesitation in
throwing their workmen out of employ
ment or running on half time until the
surplus product is all consumed or greatly
reduced in volume, The advocates of the
high tariff have been telling us. that the
time has arrived when all the iron produc-
ed in this country viii be rapidly consum-
ed. They now tell US that the overproduct
can now be consumed. and that the mills
must be closed to give the manufacturers
chance to dispose of it. Why do not
the iron manufacturers in the United
States command the trade of the world, or
the greater part of it, in iron? This couns
try is bursting with iron ore; the workmen
are ready to get it out and put it through
the furnaces. The trouble is the manu-,
facturers deprive themselves of outlets by
the tariff they have saddled on the coun-
try, and, while proclaiming that the protec-
tive tariff is the greatest blessing vouch-
safed to the American workingmen, under
that very tariff that repeatedly shut up
their mills and throw their men out of EN-.
ployment because they make SO much pig
iron, for instance, that the market is over
stocked. The f'blessing" of the protective
tariff to the American workingmen is not
discernible in this instance, surely.
