BABY DID IT.
The Little Thing Was Sunshine in Tha
Dingv Street Car.

The Little Thing Was Sunshine I'm That
Dingv Street Car.
On one of the cold, rainy days OF the
past week Washington Star reporter
was on a car on the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. line coming down Capitol hill.
There was pretty good load of passen-
gers. 1t was cold, wet and uncomfort-
able inside of the car, and the rain peat
a tattoo on the windows without that
brought anything but pleasant refiec-
lions to the passengers who would nave
to face 1t. At the Peace monument
there was big reinforcement OF pas
sengers. They piled in very uncere-
moniously, bringing with them rush
OF cold air and scattering showers OF
spray from their soaked garments. In
the d which got aboard was a
WON baby in her arms. The
WON; was rather poorly and thlniy
clad had no umbrella. There was
some 4elay in her getting a seat ana
she looked decidedly forlorn and help
less trying to maintain her balance anu
at the same time look out for her child.
But with all the environment calcu-
lated to make men mean and surly
some one had enough gallantry in spite
OF the weather to offer her a seat. But
mother and child got many reproving
look from the other passengers. Those
who were in an ugly mood on account
OF their unpleasant surroundings found
1t very soothing to their ruffied feeling
to think, well, there's bigger fool
than l am" and one lady whispered
to her neighbor loud enough to reach
the ear Of the writer: "The very idea Of
taking baby out in such a storm"
and finished her sentence with shrug
or her shoulders which meant more
than she said. But baby was wrapped
up snug and warm in blanket and
It's mother, needless Of what her neigh
bors might think, began to unroll
the quaint covering to see how his
dlminutive majesty was getting on.
Everybody in the car was watching
her with looks of mingled disapproval,
and curiosity. She finally got the roll
undone so that Mr.. Baby's face became
visible And such face as 1t was!
There was probably never more COM
pletely surprised set of people in that
street car before. Baby was a real
beauty of the sort that is apparent to
somebody else besides the mother. Such
eyes, such dimples and, withal, such
bright, healthy, smiling face in all
probability will never light up a SINH
lar occasion. Baby's appearance
worked like magic charm on the rest
of the passengers. AS soon as his face
was uncovered he took a survey of the
passengers about him with owlish
gravity. Then, as If struck by some
highly ludicrous idea in the contem-
plation of the scene, he burst into
great fit of baby laughter. He CHR
ruped and chuckled and kicked up his
heels in such glee that inside of a
minute he had the entire car on his
side. The scowling looks had all dis
appeared as If by magic and people for
got all about the disagreeable weather
outside and their uncomfortable sur
roundings within and Joined with baby
in broad smile at the novel situation.
Somehow that baby's genuine, healthy
and spontaneous good spirits had for
the time put an entirely new phase on
life for all who saw him.

Bicycle and Ostrich.

The Cape Times says that a peculiar
experience befell a local cyclist, Donald
Menzies, recently. He was riding along
the main road from Cape Town to Som
erset West Strand when an ostrich, at
tracted apparently by what was in its
eyes a novel vehicle, commenced to waltz
around the bicycle. After a few prelimi-
nary antics the bird took it into its head
to pace Mr.. Menzies, and so long as it
abstained from using its wings the cy.
clist and the ostrich managed a dead
heat. However, after covering about
half a mile in this way the ostrich util-
lied its stumpy wings as sails, and
spurted away at record breaking pace,
leaving the cyclist far behind. After
that the bird troubled Mr.. Menzies no
more.

Teacher Painted.
 At Midland, village in the Rockies, few days ago Miss Edna Booker, who taught i'll the sch0olhouse of the place, performed an act of heroism worthy of the highest eommendation. One of her scholars had A pet antelope, q sweet, doc ile little creature that followed it's mis- tress to school, remaining quite near the door during class hours.
 One day 1t lay, as usual, near tho door, lazily basking in the sunlight, while the children pored over their stud- ies. Suddenly there came light thud and q scream There, with his forefeet crushing the little creature, oFouched q big mountain lion, savagely switching his tail from side to side and eying the children The little tots, screaming wildly, ran to the farthest corner, hud- ding there ill q heap.
 The teacher, although pale with fear, did not for moment lose her nerve, but searched the room for some means If rescuing her little scholars. Hanging on the wall near the door was shot gun, and she determined to obtain it, although to do so she had to pass the lion Summoning all her courage, she advanced down the room, facing ths savage beast. who stopped tearing at the antelope and growled ominously Moth ing detelTed i'll her purpose, however, she passed by him aud took the guA from the pegs.
 The lion turned his head and curious. ly watched her as she retreated up the room again. The gun being empty, it was necessary to return to her desk to procure some shells and load it. Savage from its taste of blood, the lion left the antelope and prepared to spring upon the group of children. He made one leap over the benches, which landed him i'll front of the teachers desk, and, his eyes catching sight of her, he changed his purpose, and swinging around was about to spring upon her. Noticing this, the teacher, who had been watching for 8 good opportunity to shoot, instead of waiting for him to make the leap, walk ed quickly up to him, and before the as- tonished brute could recover she placed the muzzle of the gun in his ear and pulled the triggers.
 The recoil knocked her over, and she fell to the floor senseless The gun did its work, however, for the lions head was almost blown to pieces, and the brute lay quiyering heap upon the floor. The children ran screaming down the road, and men hastened to the school house to find the brave girl recovered, but wildly trembling. After learning the circumstances they seized chair, and seating the girl in it carried her, with the dead lion, through the town, cheering and praising her brave act. - Big Timber (Mon. ) Herald.

A wall to Keep ont Cola waxs..

John H. Miller, a Chicago meteoro- logical expert, believes that high wall from the Rocky mountains to Lake Su- perior would turn back the cold winds from Manitoba, and that the warmer current from the south would give the United States as mild climate as Spain.
 His theory is that the cold winds of fall and winter and early spring are very close to the ground, none of them exceeding half mile in height, and that the weather wall need not be higher.
 He also believes that the wall would give copious rains to two-thirds of the country that is now desert. t.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.
