BnuTALITY OF DRyAN's DRIVER
without Cause He Beats II boy Over
the Head.

Seven-year-old Lester Mcbride was
cruelty struck over the head with a whip
by the driver of the carriage carrying Presi-
Dental Candidate Bryan Monday night when
the popocratic parade drove up to Boyd's
theater:
The boy was standing in the crowd in
front of the theater with n friend of his
father. As the carriage drove up the driver
shouted TO the people to get out OF the
way. The boy did not move FAST enough
and the driver struck him savagely over the
head.
a scene OF confusion followed, for many
in the crowd were determined TO pull the
driver from his seat and vent summary
vengeance upon him. The presence OF a
presidential candidate seemed to have no
quoting effect. Finally, however, the eX-
element subsidized and the driver was al
lowed to go unframed.
The father of the lad, ]. ]. Mcbride, lives
at 29l4 North Twenty-eighth avenue, He
was marching in the parade He is de-
termined TO learn the identity OF the driver
and prosecute him TO the fullest extent

Forerunner OF u Fad Observed In
street Car.
fat, smooth-faced man. with a leftover
jag sat gloomily in the corner of Wabash
avenue car, relates the Chicago Tribune
and viewed his surroundings with hazy
and blodshot eye
A good-lookiEg young woman, whose attire
betokened familiarity with fashionable So
ciety got on the car at Congress street and
took a seat opposite. The fat man appar-
emily did not notice her entrance but in a
few moments he suddenly fixed his eyes
upon her in frozen stare while look or
doubt, fear, and hope in contorted combina-
ton crept over his countenance.
He tried to take his gaze from the young
woman, but seemed to be fascinated by
something. After a prolonged stare of half
a minute or so he suddenly bolted for the
door. and without waiting for the car to
stop jumped on and rapidly disappeared
down a side street
At that moment the object of the fat
mans alarm became apparent to the other
occupants of the car. 1t was harmless
little terrapin attached to a gold chain and
was crawling about over the young woman's
bosom in its efforts to escape. The fat
man evidently could not believe his eyes,
but the thing was alive
This little creature is simply forerunner
of a fad that has been taken up by ultra
fashionable people. 1t bids fair to become
more popular than the chameleon because
the terrapin is less repulsiye to women and
is not so delicate All 1t requires is a bowl
of water at night and a few flies for its
breakfast and supper. On this treatment 1t
will live long time.
His shell is capable of taking on a high
polish, and when attached to gold chain
makes an ornament that is very much adj
mired by some people. Some ladies find II
difficult to overcome their squeamishness
when the cold and clammy pet attempts to
warm its feet on their bare skin. but when
fashion dictates that it shall be worn
little thing like this is not allowed to
count.
Many lives OF usefulness nave been cut
short by neglect to break up an ordinary
cold. Pneumonia. bronchitis and even con-
sumption can be averted by the prompt use
of One Minute Cough Cure

WooNSoCKET, S. D., Nov. S.-(special)
There is eight inches of snow on the
level here and reports are coming in show
ing much suffering among stock. Farmers
had been too busy threshing and husking
corn to fix up their sheds. The snow driited
into the pen sheds and in some places there
are drifts six feet deep. Some farmers, not
having room in their barns for all their
stock, turned their horses out in the storm
and put their cattle in Their reason for
such action was that a COW or steer Is
now worth more than a horse. and also be-
cause horses will live for days In a snow
storm. while cattle perish in Few hours
There are vet about / 900 900 bushels Of corn
to gather within a radias OF twenty miles

Maloney's Wedding

When pressed to state their objections fully the old gentleman said; in the first place, his daughter was too young; second, that he could not see where it came in for that Blatz to act in the capacity of best man, and further If that Dutehman attempted to kiss his daughter after the formali- ties were over, there would be trou= bic sure: but Maloney informs ns, however, that the event will take place at the Opera-house Monday, January 27, just the same.

The XuIe Log.

In some parts of Germany the Yule log is placed on the hearth on Christ mas eve and if possible kept burning for two or three days, Then piece of it is laid aside for the purpose of light ing the next years log and of guarding the household from harm. Pieces of fir wood charred but not quite burnt out in the Christmas fire are also placed un- der the family bed in some German viii lages to avert the dreaded lightning stroke, which appears i'll this relation to be the type of fire i'll it's evil aspect, in contradistinetion from the solar orb, the representative of beneficent light and warmth The custom of burning a Yule log for three days and nights in each homestead is almost certainly survival from the adoration once offered to the sun at the winter solstice.
 Three centuries after the Christian era sun worship was still maintained in Brittany, and in Normandy not more than 100 years ago tho household fire was extinguished on Dec. 24 and the Christmas log was ignited by the aid of a flame procured from the lamp burning ill the neighboring church. This fact af- lords curious instapce of the probable transference of respect and reverence from the sacred fire of a purely heathen creed to tho ecclesiastical lights of Ca tholicism. When the pagan rites for pro curing unsullied fire were forbidden or fell into desuetude. the ideas to which they owed their origin and development, instead of perishing, continued to exist more or less perfectly by attaching themselves to usages and ceremonies having no direct association with them. -Gentleman Magazine.

WHY THE pArRoLmEN MISSED.
An Old Time Match With RevoIvers In
 the Tenderloin Police Station.

the TenderIoin Police Station.
 tThe recent order of the police board that all patrolmen shall become prof. cient in the use of the revolver, said 9 retired sergeant, reminds me of lit tie target practice that took place in the cellar of the Tenderloin station house on West Thirtieth street three years ago. There was quite sporty crowd of pa trolmen doing duty ill that precinct in those days, and there was always polk or game in the off platoon. The game was run on the dead quiet Of course and was played ill small room in the cellar used ordinarily for storing ballot boxes and other election paraphernalia. The boys. smuggled stove down there, and poker table that was seized i'll a raid on gambling house was corralled and placed ill the room.
 Now, there were two wardmen do- ing duty in the Tenderloin then, and as they had no regular hours they were able to play along with each platoon without interruption. They were cou- pie of pretty slick fellows, and it was only matter of time when they q have all the money on the table Eventually it got so that the patrolmen wouldn t play with them any more, and this source of revenue cut off, they hit on the idea of shooting at q target with reyolv- CTS at 25 cents shot. Now, some of these coppers were c iackajacks with pis- to1s, and they seized the opportunity thus offered to win back the money they had lost at poker. So one night to- mato can was set up at one end of the long cellar. and a lighted candle was placed beside it. Then the men began to shoot Only two pistols were used, but every time patrolman shot he missed, while the wardmen bored hole i'll the can each time.
 Every night for week the men would shoot, and always with tho same result. The wardmen were winning about $10 apiece a night, when the game came to a sudden end. One of tue patrol men suddenly opened the pistol which a wardman had handed him to shoot with and found it loaded with blank cartridges Then there was howl, and the bad shooting of the platoon was ex- plained. The other pistol, which the wardmen had been using, was loaded with B ealiber bullets, and as both were good shots of course they plu1nbed the can each time. The patrolmen threaten ed all sorts of things, but the wardmen only laughed and held on to the money they had won. There was no use kick ing to the captain about 1t, for he'd have preferred charges against every mothers s son of them for gambling ill the station house, and so the patrolmen swallowed their loss and let the matter drop. But it was long time before they got over it, and some of them are laying for chance to get even to this day. - New York Sun.

THE Deyall's Bluff Enterprise, one of the few Clarke newspapers n the State, says: "Clarke has merits as d statesman which will not necessitate a very great dependence for success upon Senator Jones shortcomings Gov. Clarke is, beyond doubt, the most thoroughly independent and the most uneompromisingly honest man who has been in Arkansas poli- tics for years.
 Gov. Clarke's merits as a states man if he has any, are yet to be developed. As to being thoroughly independent and most uncomprom- isingly honest" there are thousands of that stripe of men in the State. If the State were to undertake to elect all of her thoroughly inde- pendent and uncompromisingly honest men to public office, there would not be enough offices to go around.
