AN EASY WAY OUT.
The Railroad Man knew How to Re-
lease the Woman.

The Railroad Man knew How to Re.
lease the Woman.
A woman crossing a network Of railroad
tracks in Long Island City not long ago
stepped on a frog. which was unlocked
and pinioned her foot securely, says the
New York Herald. There was possibly no
danger from an approaching train, for
there were many men about. but her posi-
ton was not comfortable.
Her cries attracted assistance to her side
and the groups Of men began suggesting
first one thing. then another to release the
foot. Give a sudden jerk" suggested one
Slide your foot forward" said another
The woman tried, but could not move her
foot.
NO. that won't do" cried third Get
crowbar. Get anything. We've got to
pry 1t out" At this the woman became
hysterical, and the men all grew nervous
Several ran up the track and several down
to signal any approaching train.
Just then, when the excitement was HIGH
a railroad employee crossed the track
swinging a tin dinner pail. Whats the
matter?" he asked of one Of the crowd
The situation was explained to him. Every
thing had been tried, his informant said
and they We're waiting for a crowbar.
why don't you unlace the shoe?" he
said, and taking knife from his pocket he
cut the laces. No one had thought of that
but the remedy was effectual, and in fifteen
seconds the half-fainting woman was able
to pull her foot from the shoe, and q slight
effort then released the latter.

Luck stood by Him.

From the Lewiston Evening Journal.
A veteran OF the Aroostook war tells a
story Of how good luck brought poor
marksman out of a bad scrape. Gov. Fair
field visited Houlton and reviewed the
troops stationed there as commander-in-
chief, and, OF course it was the biggest
kind of military event. The Dexter Rife
Company had some crack shots in IL, and
as part of the exercises in honor of the
governors coming, they We're marched out
for target practice. AS they made some eX-
cellent hits (the figure OF an Indian being
q mark the governor expressed his pleasure
I'm their proficiency and said loud enough
for the men to hear:
Now, l would like to see your very best
rarksman try his skill"
In the company was q man noted for
never being able to hit anything, and at
once. in spirit OF deviltry, the cry ran
along the line repea ting his name in answer
TO the governors call. Without nlnching
he stepped si=; PAGES to the front and salut-
ed
where do you want me to hit him, gov
ernor? he ASKED with perfect composure
Just at the bottom of the left ear sir -
said the chief magistrate, pointing at tie
mark.
'All right, sir" The soldier raised his
gun. shut his eyes and turned his head
away as usual. and fired. The men were all
on a broad grin at the great joke of the
thing, but when the bullet struck the mark
whiting OF piece of the Indians left ear
there was a shout of surprise that could
be heard all over the township.

cred the cab, engineer and fireman with
burning liquid and demonstrated that a
new element of peril was added to the life
OF an engineer. and. in slightly less de-
gree, to the whole train.
Vestibule for the Tender.
The Pennsylvania and New York Central
roads have been experimenting with oil
fuel for some time past and have found
everything satisfactory but the supply. 1t
is estimated that the use Of oil in all the
Pennsylvania locomotives would absorb SO
much of the oil produced as to raise the
price very greatly and make 1t economically
Improbable to use 1t. II this is an estab-
lished fact the general use Of oil as loco
motive fuel is, of course, out Of the ques-
ton.
With the rush Of train robberies in the
west came great supply Of ideas to the
patent office, all of which guaranteed to
protect the engineers life, and, in some ex-
travagant cases, also claimed to be able
to capture the robbers. One of the best OF
these devices Is put forward by railroad
mechanic with an inventive turn of mind
who has been giving his attention to the
safety OF the men on the engine and in the
mail and express cars that form the forward
part of every first-class train. This idea,
which is covered by a patent issued last
spring, Is from the car shops of great
western corporation, and is in the form OF
tender provided with vestibule. One of
the principal claims of the device to general
acceptance is its efficiency in keeping off
train robbers.
The efficiency of the vestibule in prevent
ing telescoping is an idea which has grown
concurrcntly with the development of the
vestibule Itself, and the instances of ac-
cidents In which its use has prevented in
jury, or even shock. to the occupants of
the cars so protected have been many. But
the necessity of providing similar protection
between the foremost car and the locomo-
tive tender, the most dangerous point in
all collisions, and the most dangerous in the
proportion of three to one in collisions be-
tween passenger trains, has up to the pres
emit time never received sufficient considera-
ton to produce any practical result.

OLD HUTCH.
The Old Financier is as Full of Pluck

From the Chicago Dispatch
Benjamin p. Hutchinson-"Old Hutch
has opened a cigar store at 2S Pacific ave-
nue.. The place has not been extravagantly
furnished, but there is show case and a
handsomely finished apartment, in which
there is a plush couch, finished in rich blue

also back room. where there is a nice
poker table, at which the old man and his
friends enjoy themselves

the remark. but he replied:
