THE SAVING OF A GIRLS LIFE.

Seattle, March Is. 1897.
To the Editor: You published a few lines
in your paper one day last week as 10
how the little girl was saved on the Jack
son street car line last Tuesday. The
Times had another account OF IL which
was entirely wrong. so 1 now send you
the true story. and hope you viii find
space for 1t In your paper. March 5, about
6;i5 p. m. little girl was crossing Jack
son street and going south few yards
below Ninth avenue south. She did not
see car No. coming. and the gripman dio
not notice her IN time 10 stop before the
fender on the dummy struck her and
picked her UP. She held on 10 the front
iron post OF the car. and after being car
ried about Atty feet on the fender the car
was brought TO a stop. John Brown. who
sat on the south side OF the dummy.
jumped up and caught hold OF the child
Just few feet before the train came TO a
standstill According TO the writer In the
Times the child was struck by and thrown
beneath the fender and dragged along.
bat managed 10 hold on and save herself
from being drawn beneath the wheels OF
the car. The TACT is she was never under
the fender at all, hut all the time on top
OF H. Had she been beneath the fender
she could not possibly have held on. but
must have been crushed TO death beneath
the car. When the child was picked up
by the fender she fell against the head
light on the front OF the car and broke
the glass: this. together with the fact that
she was not hurt at all, Will prove beyond
a doubt that the story IN the Times was
false. I thtnk every one will agree with me
that the tenders In use on the Yesler way
car line have proved a great success, and
have fully paid for themselves BY saving
the life or the title girl.

The Great Khan of Tartarx.

The personal appearance of the Great
Khan, as described by Marco, was as
follows: HE Is of good stature, neither
tall nor short, but of middle height. He
has a becoming amount of flesh, and
is very shapely in all his limbs. His
complexion Is white and red, the eyes
black and fine, Re nose well formed
and well set on" But the portrait of
Kublal Khan, drawn by a Chinese ar
fist, does not exactly correspond with
the pen portrait given here by Marco
We know also, from Marcos own mar.
rative, that the Emperor was subject tc
govt In his later life, and we are LED
to infer that he was rather corpulent
as he Is represented in the drawing
given by the Chinese artist. Mich
