an officer approach, and in a frank,
careless way, said: you've tumbled to
me, hey? To be sure, I'm no man; but
wish you'd let me keep up the dis
guise, for I have to beat my way to
Cumberland, where my friends and peo-
pie are"
The officer made no reply, but had
her taken to the police station. At the
hearing she told the magistrate her
trials and experiences, of her husbands
behavior and of the death of her child,
a little boy of eight or nine months.
She broke down at length, and the mag
istrate, learning that she was without
money and without friends, directed
her to be taken to central station.
Her story is as follows: '.My home is
in Cumberland, Nd, and the only mis-
take of my life was in marrying the
wrong man. 1 know it was WRONG of
me to beat my way here, but had no
friends and nothing in my pocket but
a quarter. At Binghamton, where ]
went few months ago, my husband
really, sir, fine-looking, good-hearted
fellow once-deserted me, and being
thrown on my own resources, earned
my living as best 1 could. My husband
you see, was a drinking man, and so
badly did he at times abuse me that
decided to go back to my people.
81 jumped the freight just OUTSIDE
Binghamton. The conductor and crew
were very kind to me, and when the
conductor objected to carrying tramps
in skirts determined to adopt the
male attire. The clothing wore when
arrested was procured from d railroad
employee in Albany, N. Y. 1 donned
the clothes, and just after leaving Jer'
sey City, where 1 stopped a few hours
my hat blew off and have been with
out one ever since"
The woman said her husbands name
was Robert Coyle, and threatened, if he
ever attempted to follow her, to give
him "a taste of Maryland justice"

TIRE HINTS.
Carry Tire Tape, Chewing Gum, Post
age stamps and Plugs.

age stamps and Plugs.
A puncture has been successfully
sealed by postage stamp and tire
tape.
Chewing gum, carefully spread over
a puncture and held fast by tire tape,
has saved many a weary step.
A leally valve is quite beyond the
stoutest and "stickiest" tire tape ever
made.
The best remedy for side cut along
the rim is a walk to the nearest railway
station.
Don't try to mend No. 10 puncture
with a No. 2 plug. It's time and pa
thence thrown away.
Instances are on record wherein q
cyclist, without any other available
remedy, filed his tire with water, and
thus rode home.
Neither broken toothpicks nor
matches make successful plugs. Don't
believe the man who told you he mend
ed puncture in that manner.
A tire that jumps the rim can be kept
in place, even if the rider has no cement,
by tying it tightly and initiating it after
it is tied in position.
Wheelmen who live in states where
the pine trees grow, and who do not
chew gum or carry postage stamps,
scrape resin from the trees and mend
the punCtures with that.
Court plaster, assisted by tire taLe,
will last for a time over a puncture.
Some kinds of court plaster are quite
porous, and, if used, will require many
applications of a pump to the tire.
Moral-Carry tire tape, chewing gum
postage stamps and plugs whenever
you are going out Of sight of a repair
shop. You can probably get water and
sand on the way.-New Haven Conn.,

Secretary Morton Criticised.


The House Of Representatives last Saturday
passed the agricultural appropriation bill,
which includes an appropriation for the dis
tribution of seed This item caused spicy
debate. The distribution of seed by Senators
and Representatives had long been done.
Secretary Morton thought it a useless expen-
diture, and of his own molten discontinued it..
Last year Congress directed him to continue
it. In the debate last Saturday it was charged
that the Secretary had ordered defective seed,
in order to discredt the distribution, and
another Representative stated that seed
firm, May Il Co., of Minneapolis, had offered
him bride, not to make public that they had
furnished inferior seed.
Without discussing the merits of the ques-
ton, we are glad to see Secretary Morton has
been given to understand that he is not greater
than the representatives of the people. The
President and every member Of his Cabinet
has ignored the legislative branch of the gov
eminent, the President even treating Congress
with contempt The Democratic party, in
the national platform, declared for new po-
icy, thus putting the seal of condemnation
upon that of the President One Cabinet Off
Ger stood by the party, but the President and
the other members of the Cabinet fought the
party nominees, and in doing so all will pass
into political secusion in less than a month.
