York Tribune man, that makes man
lose his senses so completely as being
tumbled over and over In falling car
and yet | met man once who seemed
to be the personification OF GOODNESS In
just such a situation. AS soon as our
car left the track we were all shot from
our berths in various directions. being
tumbled up and down and around as
the car kept turning somersaults. Like
the people read about, we landed in
the water. and then the car came to
q standstill. After its terrifying bump

that could scarcely move my arms to
keep my head above water.
Near me, however, was man who
kept his head.
Don't splash around so,' he said.
You'll cut yourself. The car is full of
broken glass, lamps, wrenched rods
and nails, and you'n hack yourself to
pieces
But thought / was drowning, and
l shouted my fears to him.
r oh, no. he said. we are not
drowning; well get out of this easily. ;
But 1t was not so easy to escape as
my cool friend assured me. The whole
inside work had to be shattered, and
there was nothing by which we could
climb to the windows, which were high
above us, as our car was overturned,
lying on its roof. We made so many
efforts to jump up, always falling back
into the water, that / became exhaust
ed. My friend, however, kept on en-
couraging me. Finally, with his assist
ance, l managed to clutch window
frame and got out. He followed me
shortly afterward. The first thing he
did when he climbed outside was to
examine himself for cuts and wounds.
/" We'll, guess I'm alive he said,
with a laugh.
"After we had sat there for awhile
watching with sllivers the wreckers
working to us, my friend declared that
he was going to crawl back into the
car.
Great heavensp begged, don't do
that; we were lucky to get out once.

he dropped down with loud splash

around in the water down there for q

through the window once more, apd
was never more glad to see a man.
I got it, he said, with trium-
plant laugh. Pretty wet, but the bills
seem to be here. Watch Is gone. Too
bad, too--it was given to me, but one
can't expect to save everything out Of

QUALIFIED TO ACT As JUDGE
A Western HumOrist Who Decided o.
Case in Favor OF buffalo Bill.

A Western HuMOriHt Who Decided On
Case in Favor Of buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill once gave show In
Carson City, New, and on the opening
night the house was packed to the
doors. Tile audience, however, went
away dissatisfied because Mr.. Cody
himself did not appear. The celebrat-
ed cowboy, when the time came for
him to startle the audience with his
deeds of daring, was not to be found.
So the good people of Carson dubbed
the show fake" and after the first
night only few attended. Charles E.
Locke, the manager of the show,
brought suit against Buffalo Bill to
recover damages. 1t caused great
sensation In Carson. for, according to
the San Francisco Newsletter, the
residents of that town knew very lit
tie of the merits of Thespians of any
kind. and there were few, lie any, who
could honestly tell whether or not it
was more gratifying to the audience
for an intoxicated actor to appear on
the stage and make fool of himself
or remain behind the scenes In the arms
of Morpheus. The Judge of the court
did not like to decide the case between
Messrs. Locke and Cody, and 1t was
impossible to find a jury with sufficient
intelligence to understand the matter.
Finally ii was agreed to let Sam Davis
decide the case. So the sage brush
humorist was brought before the tri-
bulal and vas closely questioned by
the judge, who wanted to see how
much Mr. Davis knew about the
drama.
Have you ever been in a theater,
Mr.. Davis?" asked the Judge
Eyes, sir"
do you think that you can tell the
difference between q man who is In
toxicated ard man who is sober?"
Most assuredly," answered Mr. Da-
Wis.
did you ever hear of d theater where
the play drew largely on the first
night and continued to draw largely
during the run Of the play?"
Yes, sir"
'.Whereg
I'm London. 1t was tragedy
''Nho wrote it?'

Now, Mr.. Davis, did you ever hear
Of a theater where the play drew
largely on the first night and only
eight or ten people on every night
thereafter
Yes, sir"
"WhereY
I'm London. 1t was tragedy also.
and who wrote that tragedyT
II did,
Mr.. Davis was unanimously selected
TO decide the suit, which he did In
favor of Buffalo Bill.

Some Of the names Of towns are ar
rived at in peculiar way. Tor exam
pie, the town of yandalia. in Indiana,
which was named in a singular man
ner. The man who owned the land on
which the present town of vandalia is
situated was a man without great
deal of education, and wanted lawyer
friend Of his who was wag, to give
him name for his new town. The
wag suggested that the Vandals were a
very noted people, and that he should
name his own town "vandalia, or the
home of the Vandals" TWAS at that
time the coming metropolis OF Illinois
and subsequently was the capital Of
that state, and was named Vandalia,

the water gushing forth in crystal

was about to raise the tin dipper to his

CONTEMPORARY:
Say, Bill, If you got to drink water,
don't drink it out O. dat dipper. You
don't knew what you might ketch.'
With that he pulled a battered toma-

rusty black colt The thirsty one took
it in silence, quaffed the water, and the
twain resumed their stroll. -Philadel

A Great Work Among Hindoo Wo-

~
The last minth) annual meeting in
Calcutta of the Lady Dufferin Fund
for medical aid to the women of India
disclosed how modest effort of pri-
vate philanthropy has practically de-
veloped into great national move
ment. When Lady Dufferin left India
in 1888, shehad instituted a system of
medical service by women physicians,
which that year gave hospital relief to
$500 patients and about 100000 out-pa-
TENTS at the end of Lady Lands
downe's FIVE years administration 1.-THE
wife of the governor general Of India
is ex-officio the executive of the associa-
ton in India), the annual number helped
had risen to 1880 in patients and 600,-
600 'out-patients. Through the aid of
local committee, medical treatment is
now also extended to women whose
caste prohibits them from coming to
the hospital, and who are too poor to
pay fees. Lady Dufferin's aim was to
restore health to thousands of Indian
women and children who needlessly
suffered and died from ignorance of
sanitary principles, and whose caste,
customs and prejudices cut them off
from the services Of male physicians.
The scheme has not only saved much
suffering, but has been the sotlrse of
liberal education to the native commu-
mites In which women physicians have
done their work. Many natives have
contributed to the fund, and a number
of Indian and Eurasian women have
been induced to study medicine. May
