added the moral triumph of having COM

new men of them. 81 had taken them

whether he describes the wonderful seen
cry of an unexplored land, or relates his
experiences among wild beasts and wild

full of enthusiasm, life and good humor.

Summed BY ELECTRICITY

At about half past o'clock last even
ing, the wires of the Brush electric light
became in some way crossed with the tel
ephone wires and the insulation wearing
out or becoming displaced, the strong
current of the Brush wire went over the
telephone wire to the central Office. Mrs
Bixby was at the board and the current
struck her and knocked her senseless on
the floor and caused about thirty of the
drops on the switch board to fall Mrs
Bixby came to in few minutes and found
the whole top of the board in blaze
She had presence of mind enough to call
her little girl and procure water with
which to put out the flames. Manager
Griffith was then notified and the wires
fixed. The danger of crossing of electric
light wires with telephone wires should be
remedied in some way. A person may be
killed or most seriously injured when they
come in contact with each other. FOrtu-
nately in this case Mrs. BixbY was not
badly hurt, but the operator. or a sub
scIiber to the exchange who happens to
have connection at the time may receive a
shock that is dangerous. We know not
whether the fault lies with the electric
light company or the telephone company,
but whichever it is, carelessness in this
respect is very reprehensible and even
criminal.

the gait that he kept up to the end of the
race with the exception of twice when he

he can walk when pushed. During those
spurts he kept nearly even with Wollen,
