HOW pRuNkARn,s ESCAPE.


Shook OF Blow.
A few days ago a man was knocked |
from trestle-work on the Cleveland,
Canton & Southern railway near Cross
street, by a locomotive The train was
stopped and the victim was tenderly
picked up and taken to the depot He
was intoxicated and paid very little at
tention to the efforts being made IN his
behalf At the depot he denied that he
had been on the trestle and demanded
to know who had taken his hat Short
ly after he was arrest on Ontario street
for being drunk. He gave no evidence
OF pain until several hours later, and
then DIR. Cole was called to attend him.
The man seemed to have escaped with
a few bruises. and at the Central police
station 1t was regarded as another In
stance Of drunken mans luck" /" While
the subject was up for discussion pa
trolman related the circumstances OF an
affair that occurred on Canal street
A drunken man had stumbled along a
dark passage-way between two build
ings aud finally fell about twenty-five
feet down a steep fight of stairs to the
Valley railway tracks. He was finally
discovered and carried back to Canal
street to await transportation in the pa
troll wagon. His pulse could scarcely
be detected, and the only question with
those gathered about him was whether
the man was already dead or would die
within the next ten minutes. When
landed at the station he demanded to
be released, and asked whose business
it was If he chose to drink a little beer.
He had apparently sustained no injury
by the fall. Dr. Cole related river
street case where man fell from a
three-story window upon a woman
seated In front OF saloon. The doctor
had been summoned in hot haste by the
mans friend, but upon his arrival the
victim OF the fall said very Indignantly
that he had not sent for the physician
and had no need for his services.
When asked whether there was any
explanation for the uniform good for
tune of drunken men in escaping injury
by accident, DR.. Cole said it was due
to lack Of interest in their fate. II

croakers croaked we'll, and decided that
it was an unfortunate affair or would
turn out to be in the end. George Eliot
SAYS that this love OF finding out how
it came about" is due to ''an excess Of
poetry or stupidity" don't know as
that is just fair, but do think when a
marriage is contrary to established
rules, croakers are stupid. and fortu-
nately are often in the wrong In their
prophecy. It is written that when a
marriage was about to take place King
James used to ask: "What is the wo-
mans makdom and her fairnessp" The
days OF 'infatuationsn are now giving
place to keen outlook in the direction
OF personal comfort; makdom and fair
ness stand one side and the question to
be answered first, Will this woman
make my home restful to me, and will
she live on what can earn? Subtle
has been the process that has led to
this gradual change, but a change has
come.
The brilliant society man referred to
is now a regular stay-at-home, for the
simple reason his home is as perfect as
a home can be made to be. The sun
niest, brightest room in the house is
his sanctum; here are his favorite
books, pictures he likes, the latest
magazines, leaves cut, and no end OF
pipes. When the train whistles into
the depot, in which is this fortunate
man, fire is started on the low hearth
to make the room cheerful although
the warmth is not needed.
To this room he brings his friends
