1t is the duty of a pedestrian to keep
upon the sidewalk save when it is nee
essary to cross the roadway. and then
to cross at an opportune moment and
with reasonable expedition. 1t is, new
ertheless, equally the duty of those in
charge of vehicles, however propelled,
to restrain them within reasonable
speed, to keep them under constant
control and steerage way and to exer-
else all possible diligence In avoiding
collisions. They are as much bound to
look out for pedestrians at the cross
walks as pedestrians are to look out for
them. They are as much bound to
slacken their speed to avoid collision
as the pedestrian is to quicken his. 1t
is In fact far easier for the men on the
vehicles to keep their eyes on the pc
destrians and avoid running them
down than it is for the pedestrians to
keep theirs on the multitude of vehi-
cles which may be converging upon
them from different directions Simply
ringing the gong is not enough. "Caveat
pedes" is not the only rule of the road.

The woman evidently did not hear
him, for she did not turn her head
Neither did she hold out the necessary

"Fare, please" said the conductor in

But the woman paid no heed. Then
the conductor touched her on the shoul-

"Your fare, please, lady!"
Then the woman turned hastily

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment.
The grip has surprised the doctors
and health authorities this season by
its rapid spread and by some novel
symptoms While it spares nobody
it is proving especially dangerous to
middle-aged and elderly persons. In
many cases either a fatal onset OF
pneumonia, or complete breakdown
of health and strength, is apt to fol
low an attack of grip.
The wise course for all is proven
ton. By wearing a Beason's Porous
Plaster on the chest and back you
protect the lungs from cold and chill
and with ordinary care) you are safe
from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the usual winter
coughs and colds, Benson's Plasters
are sure and speedy relief and cure.

When / retired from detective work
after an experience of 16 years, the
public press and my many friends were
pleased to say that / had done excel
lent service. On the whole, this praise
was deserved, but at the same time, in
one case at least, L had shown stu
pidity worthy of the greenest patrol
man on London's police force. / had
been at Scotland Yard for three years
when l removed my family to Queen
street. 1t was to an apartment house,
and we took the second floor. On the
floor above was a married couple NAM
ed Hadan. The man, as came to I'M
derstand, was a manufacturing jeweler
in a small way. The Hadans lived
very quietly and made no display, and
the wife kept very much to herself.
Not as detective, but as an occupant,
/ learned that the husband was home
only two nights per week-that Is, he
came home at 6 o'clock on two even
ings out of the seven, remained over
night and to breakfast and was seen
no more for five days. This had been
the programme for a year before
came to the house, and was not bit
curious over it.
At about the time of my removal
was set to watch in general way a
certain dealer in bric-a-brac named
Saunders. His shop was good three
miles from Queen street. He dealt in
all manner Of art goods second hand.

The cures OF diseases caused by an
impure or poisoned condition of the
blood, which have been accomplished
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

most remarkable remedies of the age.
Its curative power is best judged from
the fact that in great many cases the
use of vGolden Medical Discovery" was

The Two Senator's.

Congressman Jones of Virginia told
this story of his father: Directly after
the war Jones senior was sent to the
state senate. An old slave who had
belonged to him was also elected to the
senate. The two drew adjoining seats.
Senator Jones was very courteous and
in addressing his former slave always
called him senator. The old negro
stood it for some time and finally said:
'Massa William. don't like dis sena-
tor business. KANT | come down to
yo' house and visit that cook of yourn
l suhtinly would like permission to WIS.,
1t yo' kitchen"
The request was granted, and while
Senator Jones was in his library the
other senator was down in the kitchen
visiting the cook.
