Did you ever notice how susceptible some
women are to the changes OF the weather.
There are women who glory in a stormy
day, and the wilder and more fierce the
elements the greater the enjoyment, and
there are others who wander about like
lost souls and cannot become quiet till the
sun shines again. Others have the "blues"
Just as soon as the storm approaches and
Immediately become morose or oppressed.
One woman feels the approach of an cleo
tric storm SO strongly that she immedi-
ately becomes helpless and is put to bed
and tenderly cared for pptil the storm has
passed.

A dog set an electric car at defiance last
Sunday afternoon, a plain. every day
dog. He was of a yellow hue and stood
two feet high. He SOU tied on the track
OF the Cranston street line aud
when car laden with fair
visitors came bowling along, he
simply sat there and defied he driver to
come on. The driver thought itwas
mere act of bravalo on the part
OF the dog and kept right on his course,
hoping that the animal would move
rather than bs ground up into saus ,pe,
but therein he was mistaken. 4
The canine simply curled his lip in silent
contempt and intimat,d by his manner
that he had no fear Of being run over The
driver was finally compelled 10 step his
car aud remove the animal by main force
before he could proceed Now the q lestion
is, why didn't that dog get of tue track
ot IL. l..I.
