The Vestlbule as a Safety Device

Closely related to the coupler is the
vestibule, which within the last two
years has become so fashionable. The
vestibule is not merely luxury, but has
a certain value as a safety device. The
full measure Of this value has not YET
been proved. Occasionally lives are lost
by passengers falling from or being
blown from the platforms Of moving
trains. Such accidents the vestibule vii
prevent, and, further. it decreases the os
cillation Of the cars. and thus to some de
gree helps to prevent derailment 1t is
also some protection against telescopiEg

jacket was stripped off from it. The en-

o golden rod--wild, lavish golden-rodt
Thou glad perfection OF the summer days
Lit up your tasseled heads
And nod to me, as in the old-time ways,
Shake out the fragrance of your tufted threads,
And dip and nod
Yes remember how the warm skies hung
Above the meadows that were all astir,-
Luxuriant with your blooml
How wondrous sweet the crested blossoms were,
Like flaming censers, fed with rare perfume,
And softly swung
And there, beyond the stretch OF rugged sod.
Which barcs its tawny breast unto the SEA,
The thick, brown alders grow,
And hide the wall on which was placed for me,
All wet with dew, so many years ago.
Bright golden rod
Loves first shy gift. from Drowned boyis

True hands and brave, in toisome work day field
Grown strong; yet still to me
Bearing the bloom the choicest season Yields,
As on we fare where noontidc shadows be.
In pleasant lands.

dubbed Mayor of Coxtown. Jordan on
Monday, ran amuck through the vicinity.
His head swan with the fumes of liuuor,
and he was screaming for offenders
against justice.
Joseph Norwich and wife came into the
frenzied Mayors way, and he forthwith
arrested Norwich on a charge of disor-
derby conduct and fined him 1857. Nor
witch 1gnorantly paid the money over.
but Mrs. Norwich protested. This in
furiated "his majesty" and he savagelv
attacked her, knocking her down and
kicking her.
Turning from the Norwich household
Justice Jordan pounced upon Frank
Smith and his wife, Mary. Because they
objected to being summarily arrested.
without a complaint or warrant, the in.
furiated man pounded Mrs. Smith
with his blackjack. When Smith tried 10
protect his wife Jordan's son GEORGE
threw a brick at him, which was caugRt
on Smiths forearm, saving his,headsfrom
a bad wound. The whole Of Coxtown was
in an uproar. -
Policemen Horneff and Butts heard tba
commotion, and Jordan and his son were
locked securely in cells at the CITY Hall
Charges of assault and battery and false
arrest were preferred against the bellig-
erent mayor of C~oxtown,'' and at the
hearing nearly the whole population Of
his bailiwick appeared. Jordan was com
mitted in default of $1,000 bail, and his
son George was admitted to $500 bail.
