The presumption OF innocence until
tried and found guilty does not seem

The opening of the Fashion, in
defiance of the city ordinance, only
goes to show the contempt in which
everything pertaining to the city

The amendments to the state con.

the endorsement of every good citizen
who desires an honest ballot.

tended the Grand Army reunion at De
troit, and took occasion while there to
restore to a comrade a long lost Bible with
an interesting history. The Bible was
originally a gift to David Webster, a
Michigan volunteer, from his mother on
the eve of his departure for Virginia in
1861. Webster lost the book at the Sec
ond battle of Bull Run.
1t fell into the hands of Confederate
soldier of Stonewall Jackson's command

leaf the soldier wrote brief statement
Of the circumstances under which it
came into his possession. He abandoned
his knapsack containing the book on the
battlefield at Bristow's station.
Althisar picked the volume up and
had carefully preserved it for twenty
six years as an interesting relic of des-
perateiy fought battle. He was for

Saved nv His rhinnnsa.

/ Usually when man has been run over
by an engine and train of five cars the
coroner sits on what is left of him. With
the exception of the coroners inquest,
that is what happened to Jacob Kahn.
Nevertheless he is none the worse for
his remarkable experience. Nature made
J Kahn very thin man, and to this fact
he owes his life. Kahn is about twenty
two years old, and is a journeyman
baker. He is not very tail, but his thin
ness is a standing joke in the neighbor-
hood.
Being good natured, it never angered
him, and he was wont to laugh and re-
ply that: some day they would envy him
for being slender. About z o'clock he
was talking to some acquaintance at
Second street and Germantown avenue,
when a. shifting engine, drawing five
heavy freight cars, came along. Just as
twas almost opposite to him Kahn step
ped righs between the tracks. A dozen
people shouted and screamed, and Kahn
saw his danger. Whether he suddenly
realized ,that his remarkable thinness
might be the means of saving his life, or
whether it was merely fright is not
known, put he fell fat on his face as the
engine chine up and passed over him.
The engineer could not stop and went
right on, while the people stood trans
fixed with horror The five cars passed
over him, A policeman and big crowd
ran into tie street to gather up the
mangled corpse. Imagine their surprise
when Kahn jumped up, apparently IN
hurt, brushing the dust from his new

Peter Gross, who lives near York
Springs, Nd, had been working hard
all the morning and about 10 o'clock
concluded to take nap under cherry
tree. He had just fallen into a doze
when he heard a bUzzing sound. He
awoke to find hive of his own bees
swarming on his head. Rushing into
the field he thought that by covering his
head with earth he could get rid Of
them But that did not have the desired
effect.
Being on the crest of one of the high
hills which surround his house, he then
threw himself on the ground, gave his
body shove and down he went, rolling
over stones, sticks and bushes, until at
last he reached the kitchen door. By
that time the bees had left him, and, al
though be was very much cut and
bruised, none CT the wounds were seri-
ous.-Baltimore American.
