could do so he was tossed four or five feet
into the air and fell to the ground.
A citizen was reading paper at the a
tion-house Il few days ago, when he re-
marked, jubilantly, that he thought his
eyesight was improving. At all'events he
could see much better with one eye than
with the other. An officer glanced toward
him and discovered that the difference had
been occasioned by the fact that the gentle
man had lost one of the glasses from his
spectacles, but was unaware of it.
At the time of the collision at Suisun
last Saturday between q grain train and q
yard engine two tramps were stealing ride
in one of the box cars, which was badly
injured by the accident. Both got out with
out serious injury, but one had to free him
self from a sack of grain which knocked
him down and camped upon his back.
When he finally got out he remarked to
his comrade that he didn't % think much
of walking, but it beats this sort of thing
to blazes and back"
Saturday afternoon police officer and
one of the engineers of the water works
had little skirmish, for the fun of the
thing, for the possession of the pipe of the
hose by which hydrant stream was to be
used in wetting down the street in front of
the City Hall and station-house. Each
tried to turn the stream upon the other,
and both got wet Finally the engineer
suggested that they cry quit, and the
officer was glad to concur. He gave up the
pipe, and stopped to pick up his hat, when
the strategic engineer turned the hose upon
him behind his back, with deliberate aim,
knocking him forward. He ran away, but
the stream followed him and kept him GO
ing, whether he would or not, until finally
he was as wet. as the proyerbial drowned
rat He expressed the belief subsequently
that there need not be any doubt as to the
Effectiveness Oh Tic INuTdill
could knock out fire or anybody else! His
saddest experience was when he went home
and told his wife that he got wet by jump
ing. into the river to save drowning child,
and she would not believe him.
