The Ride Of Helpless Youngster At
tached To = Traction Cable.
A cool level headed man in an
emergency saved the life OF five.
year-old child recently. on Hayes
street says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
1t is a common practice with
children living on the cable routes to
drop a string with u cork attached in
the slot and. as the cable catches it
and drags 1t along to follow it up for
a block or two or until they grow
tired.
Georgia Raiscovich. 8 years old,
whose father keeps furniture store
Mt 3o7 Hayes street. persuaded his
little brother Spiro that they could
ride without paying. George pro-
cured three eighths five strand
clothes line from the back yard of the
store and carefully fastened it around
his little brothers waist The rope
was strong enough to settle dozen
California stage robbers. There was
six feet OF the rope left when George
concluded TO give his little brother a
free ride and with some trouble he
dropped the loose end OF the clothes
line into the slot
The rope was promptly taken up by
the big inch and a half cable and little
Spiro started down the street to TIE
establishment OF his eight-year. old
brother The connection was made
directly in front OF St. Ignatius' church.
From that point on tho child was
| dragged with the rope around his
waist past Franklin street and Van
Ness avenue. a distance OF 600 feet
and. as he came sail ng across the
avenue William +. Murphy, who
keeps book store, at 106 Hayes
street saw the phenomenon. He at
first surmised that the thing was a
dummy but glance demonstrated
that 1t was not 1t was only a live
youngster skating with the cable and
no one to stop it.
Oddly enough. all OF tho laws OF
motion were upset with that young
ster. With a rope around his waist

Ing anything about foolish child be-
Ing tied to the cable. it was only nat
ural that when the limo was drawn
taut In the middle that tho child
| would have to GO to the morguc
whether the line dragged his head or
his legs.
Providence and Mr.. Murphy saved
the youngster. Mr.. Murphy saw the
baby's predicament and RIM to the
rescue The boy and the cable were
badly mixed when Murphy saw them
and he followed the child from Polk
to the junction at Larkin street with a
view to release it from the cable.
There was only one way in which
to do it and Mr.. Murphy severed the
connection between the boy and the
cable at the junction of Hayes street.
Mr.. Murphy bears some evidence oil
conflict with the cable. He had
been Juggling with the lads string
with an ordinary pen-knife severing
one strand after another and finally
severed the connection at Larkin
street

Presence of mind has turned defeat
into victory for generals on the battle.

chamber, and for lawyers in the
courtroom. 1t Is rare gift but a
very young woman who lives, in q
little town OF Hawthorne. In the pine
woods OF Florida. possesses 1t to an
unusual degree. The Sunday school
to which she belongs recently gave a
Sunday school concert says the
Arkansaw Traveller and. though she
is hardly five years old. she showed
such willingness to contribute to the
success OF the occasion that she was
intrusted by her teacher with the
recitation OF a verse.
She applied herself TO her task. and
at the preliminary rehearsal acquitted
herself to the delight OF her teacher
and the envy OF her classmates.
The Sunday afternoon came at last.
The church was crowded. and the ex-
ercises began. The little girl was in
a futter At last the long awaited
moment arrived and the superin
tendent announced her name. She
toddled bravely up the aisle. and
with the help of his hand mounted the
steps and stood on the platform facing
the people.
'Oh. what a lot OF folks all looking
at mel! she thought
In fact like many an older person
in a similar situation. that was all
she could think or The verse which
she knew so we'll that she had been
saying it in her sleep she could not
think OF at all.
But she was not the child to give
way to defeat without a struggle II
she couldn't think OF that verse. she
could OF another. and so while the
congregation was hushed to catch the
first syllable from her faltering lips
she piped up in shrill treble:
Needles and pins,
Needles and pins,
When you get married the trouble begins ~
In one respect at least her recita-
ton was the success of the afternoon.

When currants begin to wither. turn
yellow. and drop off the bush, the
cause can be attributed to the borer.
This Is the first visible indication of
the injury which the grower sees. The
parent insect OF the borer eats it's way
through the bark OF the bush and pen
etrates by means of the pith of the
stems. through the whole plant. The
eggs are deposited in the plant and
after while they are Matched and
cause the Same injury as their parents
to the currant bush. When the indi-
cations OF the presence OF the borer is
made known the insect has been a res
ident OF the plant for some time.
There is only one sure way OF get
ting rid OF this devastating insect.
Carefully examine the currant bush,
and when the presence OF the borer is
detected cut out and burn the infected
parts. II it is necessary. 90 not hest.
tate to destroy a whole bush. for il an
infected bush is left the insects will
radiate from it and affect the whole
patch.

NAM ELESS.

There Is 10 name, no mark, no sign,
To tell who lies below
The tall rank grass, where daisies shine
And pale primroses blow;
Yet mournfully the lindens wave
And sunbeams gently play,
fs II within that nameless grave
An exiled monarch lay.
Did death come to him as friend
That brings repose and peace,
And bliss that ne'er shall know an end,
And joy that will not ceasei
We only know he sleeps below
The daisies and the grass,
Where, ever tenderly and slow,
The lingering sunbeams pass.
