He Had Record, and the Train Hands
Found 1t Out.
A man and a dog boarded the train.
When the conductor came along for
his fare he said:
That dog must go into the bag

Why vhas dot?" queried the
owner.
because its the rule"
''but my rule vas to let him STRAY
here"
Hes got to go"
'Nhell. you take him"
He was IL whopper of n dog. and
there was business in his eve. The
conductor called the bagga reman.
but they had no sooner got hold than
they had to let go. a brakeman was
called in, but rendered his resignation
rather than tackle the dog. The
animal was seized again, and this
time he bit the conductor twice and
the baggageman three times, and fin
ished Off by nipping the brakeman's
leg.
''1aw, you take him right away!'
said the owner but they didn't. Even
when passenger came forward to in
crease the number to four the dog
stood them Off. and as he was left in
possession of the field the man OBJ
served:

why in thunder" said a New

they haven't got pretty feet if they

feet at their very worst? a woman
with big. shapeless feet or crooked
feet can afford to wear but one kind of
boot--a lacel one-a1d never 4 low
shoe under any circumstances. A
button boot does all very well for the
first few days while it still buttons
trim ANA snug about the ankles. but
every woman knows that it does this
for Il few DAYS only; then it loosens
and begins to take on the shape of
the foot, eXaggerating its peculiari-
ties every day just a little. And by
and by. before the boot is half worn
out, il is Il kind Of caricaturc of her
foot, with evef.. defect and imperfcc-
ton exaggerated. The laced boot
doesn't do this, be:aus, il can be
drawn up every morning like a new
boot, holding the foot always firmly
and securely. aud so acts as q cor
receive against any tendency the foot
has to be iil-shaped ana spreading.
But WON n do not seem to have dis

best possible opportunity to their feet
to be as puppy and spreading and

4 New Cure for Snake-Isite.

one or two per diem, have the effect
of rendering innocrous the bites of
the most poisonous snakes even of
cobras." The spondent does not
mention whether and person has
practically demonstrated the efficacy
Of the seeds by alIowily himself to be

TO ESCAPE FROM TORNADOES
There Is No Sure Way Except to Flee to
the Tornado Caves

When trying to escape from a tor
rado, says the Forum, never run to
the northeast east. or southeast.
Never take refuge in forest or a
grove OF trees, or near any oh ect that
may be overturned by the wind. A
frame building is safer than one built
OF brick or stone. The former is more
elastic and holds together longer; the
latter goes down in the first crash.
and the debris is whirled into a heap
III the center of the foundation In a
frame structure the cellar is the safest
place. but in a brick or stone building
1t is the most perilous. In the former
case the debris is curried away f. ON
the foundation. while in the latter in
stance the cellar is filled with it.
The tornado cave offers absolute
security to life and limb, and no
means OF protection can replace it for
that purpose. As regards protection
to property no building can be made
sufficiently large. strong, high, or
low 10 resist the force of the
tornado's vortex. There is no
changing the path of the to.sa-
do by the employment of explosives
or by artificial barrier. To contem-
plate the dispersion OF the cloud by the
use OF an electrical continuance is also
idle. All buildings should be con-
structed us would dc done without the
knowledge Of the tornado, and then
protected by legitimate insurance.
Protection must be ACCOMPLISHED bv
organized capital, the safety OF one be-
ing assured by the legitimate and
successful cooperation OF many.
The writer strongly avocateu this
method of protect on during his
tornado Investigations in the West in
1879, and now several million dollars
worth of property are thus insured
every year.

Reform IN Contested Elections.
Century Topics Of the Time,

1t is clearly time for us to realize, as
our English reformers in the same
field realized in 1858, that there is
something in the principle upon which
our present method rests (which is es-
sentially vicious" We ought to ere
form it altogether, > as they did, by re
moving the power of decision to the
courts, leaving it there absolutely.
That is Whit the SaXton amendment
does. There is no reason for thinking
that our courts would not be equal to
the exercise of it with the same impair
TALLY as the English courts have
shown.
In Congressional cases the circuit
judges of the Supreme Court of the
United States could be assigned in
such numbers as were necessary for
the duty. The recent increase in the
number of these judges makes such
service by them possible without seri-
Gus Interference with their regular
duties.
In the states the higher courts could
be drawn upon. The danger of patri-
Fan influences affecting the decisions
by such Judges would be very small,
even at the beginning of the practice,
and would diminish with every sue
cessiye case.
