A few days ago as a Broad street car
was approaching the railroad crossing
on the down town trip, the bells tinkled
for a coming railroad train and the gates
began to come slowly down. Seeing this
the driver hurried his horses so as to
cross the railroad before the train ar
rived and thus save the waiting time.
Among the passengers was "A young lady
who took in the situation, and who was
somewhat frightened. But she did not
lose her head. Not at all.
Not wishing to cross the railroad track
under the then existing circumstances,
she calmly pulled the bell as a signal
that she wished to disembark. The
driver obeyed the signal of course.
When the car stopped the danger was
over and she did not wish to disembark,
SO she quietly remained in her seat. The
railroad train passed safely by and the
street car resumed its way, but it was
some little time before the driver re-
gained his placidity, if looks are any
thing to judge by.-Providence Journal.

in a Wine Cellar.
An Arkansas Planter Shoots

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal July IA farm
hand named M~oreiord, living on the vine
yard of William Stephenson, in the foot
hills Of this county, came pear ending his
life in the same way as the Duke OF
Clarence, save that lie narrowly escaped
drowning in angelica, claret aud vinegar.
Moreiord quarrelld with his wife a few
days ago and she left, vowing she would
get a divorce because of his drunkenness.
She didn't return till Yesterday, when she
found her husband still in the wine cellar,
lying on the floor with a bowl of angelica
by his side. He was in the full enjoyment
of life. When his wife came he asked
jOcularly ii she had got the divorce all
right. When she saw the plight he was
in her wrath was kindled. and she opened
the faucets of all the twelve wine barrels,
and six barrels of vinegar and a barrel of
molasses, aud let the deluge pour. Her
husband was too intoxicated to help hun
sell, as the wine, vinegar and mOlasses
began TO soak him. He howled and swore.
but the food gates were left open and the
cellar rapidly filled with the contents Of
the barrels. Fortunately it did not get
deep enough to drown him before it
flowed out over the door sill, and his life
was saved.
HIS wife was memorable and unforglv-
ing, and declared that since he was so
fond of wine she was going TO see that
he got enough of it for once. She found
a safe perch on top of the barrels and de-
hberately let him take chances. The wine,
vinegar and molEsses filed the cellar and
then escaped down a gutterway toward
the creek, forty yards distant. A band of
thirty or forty Indians were in a field
across the creek chopuing wood. One of
them hearing the commotion and cries of
murder and loud cursing. was attracted
by curiosity to investigate. H. happened
that just as he reached the gutter leading
from the wine cellar to the creek the flow
OF wine came down. He tasted 1t aud
called to his COMPANIONS to come. They
came aud drank of wine, vinegar, mud
and molassas. yelling in the meanwhile.
When the gutter had run dry they drank
from the creek. They became drunk and
bois,erous. T. r Stephenson came home
that evening. and when he saw what had
happened he discharged Morriord and his
wife and drove the Indians off the ranch.

Oh, the precious babiesl What is a

1t is too fine a day to remain indoors
so puts her darling into its
wickerwork carriage and trunlles it
down town to plunge herself into the sea
of bargains.
OF course she cannot take baby, cart
and all into the store. Baby must be
left outside, and there he lies in his
perambulator, sometimes c~ontentedly,
sometimes not. Usually, however, baby
is asleep when mamma enters the store
and leaves her cherub in the big arched,
rotundalike doorway.
Mamma seldom seems to imagine that
there are kidnapers stalking through
the land and that her darling may be
stolen.
The other day a young mother entered
a large store in Fulton street, Brooklyn,
leaving her sleeping infant outside. in its
carriage. She had not been gone more
than twenty minutes when baby awoke.
Scores of strange faces were around him
and he was frightened by the hum of
many voices. Up went his under lip
and the sensitive little fellow began to
sob. Soon his sob became a cry, which
quickly developed into an ear rasping
squawL Men got out of the range of
sound with alacrity, while women only
paused long enough to say, poor little

Finally a sympathetic, matronly look

garded him in silence and then tenderly
lifted him in lrer arms aud nestled his
plump form close to her bosom.

Instantly the crying ceased, but it was
for an instant only. Baby unscrewed
his eyelids, which before had been tight
ly closed, and gazed in speechless won
der at the strange woman with an I'M
transferable vocabulary.
One glance was enough for him. The
ext moment he was making more noise
than before. With the most modern and
highly approved baby lingo the unfor-
innate woman tried to comfort him, but
her every effort was in vain. Still the
baby squawled. The situation wa be-
coming desperate, when suddenly the
child's mother hastened to the spot and
took the shrieking youngster from the
woman's grasp.
Ruben, Ruben, my own sweet love,
what is the matter, matter, matter? Tell
your mamma, mamma dear. There,
