RISKED HIS LIFE TO
STOP A RUNAWAY
JOEY RICHARDSON PROVES
HIMSELF A HERO.
He Prevents an Accident by Cour-
ageous Action-A Thrilling Incl
dent and Dramatic Climax.

The heroic and timely action OF joey
Richardson, a youth Of 10 years, pre-
vented a serious accident on Harrison
street. between Fourth and Fifth, yester-
day morning A powerful horse attached
to a butchers wagon belonging 10 the
X L Market was left standing unsecured
by it's owner in front OF house on Har-
rfson street. The careless driver allowed
a little child to sit in the wagon while he
was engaged in delivering meat a pass
ing car frightened the animal and 1t
bolted up the street toward t1tth. NO
hand was put forth to stay it's course.
The father of the child, unnerved by the
imminent danger of his little one, was
unable to move. Young Richardson was
made of better stuff. He was standing on
the corner holding two greyhounds Wh1ch
he was taking to Union Coursing Park,
and the moment he saw the runaway he
dropped the leash and sped after the fast
moving vehicle. Seeing that in its errattc
course the horse would collide Wlth a
Smiths old stand, he redoubled his squirt
and with a bound that would do credit TO
a trained athlete he landed in the center
of the wagon, and balancing himself IN
the swayinE vehicle, reached the seat.
and bending far over grabbed the reins
and pulled the horse to a standstlll I'M
truck. The heroic boy turned the horse
around and drove back to where the
father stood weak and trembling, and
handed over his, team and child. receiving
a fervent thank you"
The unusual incident was witnessed
by many women and children, and when
the mothers saw the sturdy lad save the
helpless babe their fervent blessings were
showered on the head of young Richard
son. A laughable part of the runaway
and rescue was the. CONDUCT of the
dogs bounded after the boy and led him
to his objective point. They also followed
him back to the corner and permitted
their custodian to take charge of them

ment, judging by the wagging of their
tails and barks of approval.

A Rusiness For Women.

Poultry raising certainly offers as steady
profits as any business woman can engage
in. There are never any very great ups
and doYns in the chicken market, and the
demand continues throughout the year.
There is no danger of sudden change in
fashion or public taste coming to destroy
q business one has taken pains to build
up, as often happens to those who depend
on the sale of manufactured articles.
Those who are not fond OF chickens and
interested in them as personalities will
tell you what q trouble they are, what
careful watching they require, to how
many diseases they are liable, etc., but it
is so with every business. For those who
allow themselves to see trouble in oil care
there is nothing to be found without it in
this world.
To those who understand them chickens
are very interesting. 1t is a great mis-
take to consider them stupid and without
character There is as great variety in
their dispositions as exists among the peo-
pie one knows, and their individuality
seems to be developed by human compan-
ionship. Many laugh have We had over
the funny ways of some Of our friends in
feathers. One pet hen insisted on laying
on top of certain bureau, whence her egg
usually rolled off on the floor. She was
finally induced to lay in the barn, but
would never utter a note Of her triumph

Here is a problem for every mother with
growing children, answers Good House
keeping, and yet their own good health Is
Of such paramount Importance that some
method Of solving this difficulty must be
devised. Of course most mothers do not
want to deny their children all parties,
but those of such a late hour as mentioned
ought to be very rarely indulged in, not
oftener than once q year, and then In va
cation time.
This is for girls and boys between the
ages Of 13 and II. Of course as they grow
older later hours seem to be the rule, but
even then wise mother keeps this side Of
the wee small hours. And the fact that
your young people do not look pale or
have languid eyes the following day is no
sign that late hours agree with them, for
the bright checks and eager eyes tell Of an
excited brain behind them, and che under

She Got n Sent.

A lady walked TO the forward end of the
car, where there was room for one more
on the scat. In this she showed she was
superior person, since most are flies upon
sticky fly paper when it comes to deserting
the rear door. On one side of the vacant
scat sat messenger boy, small in stature,
but with true American lack of consider
alton, sprawling his slender legs about.
The lady waited a few seconds, tacitly
asking him to move, but with vacant
countenance he returned her glance. Then
the lady was young and pretty, but
there was flrmness in her mouth-then
she turned and placidly sat down--sat
where the vacant seat should be, where
the straddling legs of the small boy were.
She sat, moreover, firmly, not as one ask
ing privilege, but with the might OF
right. And the little messenger boy lost
his vacant look, screwed his little face
into a knott was plain the lady had
weight-and punched his little legs up
into the smallest space And spectators
there were who smiled.-New York Com

They All Want Girls.

All women will be pleased to learn that
in one position in life their sex is at apre-
mium-that is in the way of adoption.
In the course of year there is an enor-
nous number of children taken from New
York alone for adoption, and it is almost
always that little girl is preferred. Peo-
pie seem to think that in the uncertainty
of taking strange child into the family
there is too much risk in taking boy, so
the letters come to the charity agencies
through which such work is done, saying,
"Won't you please send me pretty, blue
eyed little girl?" Or it may be that it is a
dark eyed little girl that is wanted, or one
with curly hair. 1t is something like
buying doll to take the ready made little
girl into the family, and the parents to be
are able to crafty their particular tastes
in children. "Therc would be no fun in
