Coauetry of a CoIored Girl Causes =
string of Catastrophes.
She was a piquart little octorOon,
with a pretty face and stylish attire.
As she started from the curb at a
busy junction near the Brooklyn city
hall she gave a pert glance at we'll
dressed colorcd man who happened
TO halt beside her. and he turned TO
cross the street, too, says the New
York sun. The girl reached tho
opposite curb justas the mau reached
the middle OF the street, and. as she
turned to walk on, she gave another
roguish glance and a toss OF her
head and hurried out of sight. The
mans attention was attracted to the
girl and he failed TO note swiftly
approaching trolley car until IL
nearly ran him down; then he made
a wild leap which would have done
credit TO a circus clown and landed
on the curb on his hands and knees.
A heavy two-hOr,e team was
coming in the other direction. The
drivers attention was attracted from
his horses to the antics OF the man,
and one of them slipped and went
down on its knees. A few yards be-
hind the team was trolley road
switch. and the switchman's atten-
tion being Rdivorted to the STUN
4 bling team, he neglected to turn tho
switch and allowed car that should
have turned off thore to run several
yards on the wrong track. Another
car following ran over the switch,
others behind it were halted, and at

allow the first car to take the switch.
