POLITE TRUCK DRIVERS.
A Case Where Police Interfefence

other trucks and blocked trolley cars

Down at Second and Chestnut streets
the other afternoon, when traffic was
at its thickest and trucks and ears were
lined along both thoroughfares, two
truckmen had equal chances of making
the crossing. One was coming down
Chestnut and the other along Second
street. Had they been ordinary truck
men each would have whipped up and
the chances are that a collision would
have resulted. But these two were not
ordinary truckmen.
With Chesterfeldian grace, one waved
his arm to the other, inviting him to
take precedence. you first" shouted
the driver, whereupon a messenger boy
who had witnessed the remarkable
scene gasped and nearly swallowed his

FALLING BULLETS
When Fired in the Air They Come
Down with All the Speed Of
Gunpowder Propulsion.

Falling bullets kill many men, even
when they are lying sheltered behind
trenches. II a bullet is fired in the air
IT falls with as much force as it goes mp.
But, curiously, there is certain limit
OF height beyond which bullet gains
no more falling force; the reason be-
ing that when the motion is very rapid
the resistance of the air balances the
attraction of gravity. In the siege of
Sebastapol-and, in fact, during every
campaign-a great many men were
killed by falling bullets. And the ter
rife force with which they come down
is shown by a case in which the bullet
entered the shoulder of cavalryman,
passed down through his body and
penetrated several inches into his
horses back.
A curious instance occurred not long
ago in India. While native was clean
ing boots in the open air he was seen
to drop dead without a cry. On ex-
amining him, they found that bullet
had entered the top of his head No
shot had been heard, and the person
who fired it must have been very long
way off.

A PLAYROOM IN WINTER.
Wherein Children Who Are Too
Young to Go Ont May
Find Diversion.

1t saves a busy mother with little
children a. great deal of worry and
many steps TO have a warm playroom
| fitted up on the lower floor This need
! not be a. large room. It must be warm
one. The windows must be carefully
listed if the house is old, and the floor
should be covered with thick rug over
the carpet or other covering. There
should be window seats with ample
space between to hold the playthings.
This room, into which the children who
are too young to go outdoors by them
selves may be turned in cold weather
to amuse themselves, will keep the sit
ting-room free from the litter of play
things and the thousand and one pos
sessions in which children delight, but
which are vexation to careful house
keeper if scattered over her sitting
room. In this playroom there wiz be
place for the possessions of older chill
dren. An ingenious person win paper
the room with pictures cut from nur-
sery books and otherwise fit it up in
manner that will delight the children.
There should be no high chairs, butlow
hassocks, for the children to sit upon,
and very low table, such as is sold by
dealers in kindergarten supplies, where |
the children can arrange their toys
blocks or books when occasion demands. !
Boxes papered and painted and fitted |
up as doll houses or toy workshops offer
endless amusement to little children.
There should also be a line of miniature
tracks in one end of the playroom if
there is boy in the house who possess
es an engine and toy cars. 1t will save
other rooms from much wear and tear,
and keep quiet and peace in thesitting-
room, where the tracks might other
wise be placed. This room should be
warmed from hot air register or steam
or hot water pipes. 1t IS not safe to
leave children playing in a room heated
by stove. If it is heated by CRATE
the fire must be inclosed in a network
Of brass such as is sold for the purpose.

AS the transformation Of the In
dian Territory from a land con-
troled by tribes Of Indians, who
for generations have owned the
land and administered their own
government, goes on, 1t is more
and more apparent that the In
dians will be able to adjust them.
selves to the changed conditions.
During the seventy years Of exis
tence as separate governments,
making and administering their
own laws, crude as they we're in
the beginning, the Indians of this
territory have gradually become
qualified for the duties and re.
of American citizen
ship. The change does not mean
so very much after all, and will be
accomplished without much re-
gret and with little friction. The
Indians of all the five tribes are as
IoyaI to the, flag and the govern
nent of the union as any other
people subject to and in the en-
oyment Of its constitution. When
rider finally comes out of the
present chaotic conditions the
indians will be found equal to the
