The dispute ran high, and as usual the

Days went on and the finger grew worse
rather than better, until at last it reached
such a state that the doctor was called.

Professor Morton shows that out of
ninety-one accidents reported in central
electric stations only fifteen were assign
able to the effects of the current, the re-
mainder being such as are constantly oc
curing in power using establishments.
A John Bergan recently fell dead. Ber-
gan was to be buried and had been laid out
preparatory to being dressed in his burial
robes He was covered with white sheet.
Early in the evening Bob" Roberts, one
of the coroner's assistants, who had been
working hard all day, lay down on long
bench near the corpse, and drawing sheet
over him to prevent the flies from bother
ing him went to sleep.
The dead and sleeping men were in the
above position when one of Bergsn's friends
came in to pay the last tribute to his friend.
The fellow on entering the morgue asked
to see the remains of his friend. The men
employed there were busy at the time, and
one of them, pointing over to where the
two forms were lying, said, There he is"
The visitor went over to the bench where
Roberts was sleeping, and giving him
hearty slap on the stomach said:
"Poor Jack, it was only day before yes
terday was after asking him to have a
drink wild me-"
The blow awoke Roberts and he hastily
sat upright. The mans hair stood on end
as he was faced by his supposed dead
friend, and with howl of terror which
stopped the clock he rushed through the
buildinga and down thestreet at gait which
would beat the best professional sprinter
in the country. He gave yell every few
jumps and the last seen of him he was
nearly to the river and was still going.
Friends were trying to find him, and it is
presumed he will be heard from after he
RECEIVERS from his fright. Roberts indig-
nantly demanded to know why he was
thus rudely disturbed, but every one was
so convulsed with laughter that they could
not answer him-Denver News.

vented peculiar clock. 1t consists of three
eggshells set on pivots, one 20 denote the

GERMAN DAY PROCESSION

uoImAN LII AOO6b0AS4S'
The ancient Germans were, ac-
cording to the most authentic &C
counts, a tall, rough and muscular
1y strong race of people, with long
light hair and blue eyes, tilling the
soil, and delighting in wild out
door sports. They were plain,
honest and upright, marked con-
trast in these respects to the cor
rupt Romans. On the other hand,
they often went to great excuses
in drinks and gambling.
The first time that we find the
Germans figuring in the world S
history, is in the second century B.
c., when the Teutons and the CHM
bri, some Germanic tribes crossed
the Alps, defeated Roman consul
and in a series of years the Roman
armies that were sent against them,
until they in turn were defeated by
the great consul, Marius, in the
years 1903 and IoI B. G.
FLOAT I.
This period in the history will
be made the subject of the first
wagon, showing the German races
of that day in their homes, from
which they at times started to make
war and overrun the civilized world,
the centre of which in Europe was
considered Rome.
FLOAT II.
The Romans then pressed for
ward into the regions of the Ger
mans, subjugating them and plant
ing Roman colonies and forts all
along their path. At last some
kind of unity was effected among
the loose tribes, who under the
leadership of Armin or Hermann,
chief the Cherusci, completely an
initiated three legions of Roman
soldiery in the Teutoburger forest,
thus practically gaining the indie
pendence of his country. This
event which took place in the year
9 A. D., is to be honored by the
second wagon in the pageant,
which will be a representation of
the monument erected to Hermann,
in the Teutoburger forest.
FLOAT III.
The old Roman empire rapidly
went to decay and the barbarians
(the Germanic races in the North
pressed closer upon the Romans
until with all the corruption within
and the strength of the barbarians
without, the Roman empire was
captured by the great Visgoth CHIEF
Alaric, and Rome itself was sacked
in the year 40 A. D.
This great city, the very heart Of
the country that had conquered the
then known world, this great city
that had subdued and proudly be.
held the burning of her greatest
rival city, Carthage, fell on the
night of August "a, 40 A. D.
This important event in the his.
tory of the world, wrought by Teu.
ton troops, will be the subject o.
the third wagon, which represents
a deputation of Roman senators
priests and citizens appearing be
fore Alaric, begging him to spare
the city.
FLOAT w.
Several hundred years after thi.
remarkable event, the GermaniC
tribes had separated and founded
numerous little monarchies which
kept up more or less of a petty war
fare among themselves until finally
one great ruler, Charlemagne, O
Charles the Great, gobbled up tn,
malcontents and made himsel
ruler of all the then known Eu
rope. This monarch was a mos
