Two women got into a Sixth avenue car
the other night. Before one OF them could
get 70 her seat the car started and she fell
10 the floor, sinking backward as easily
az II she were lying down In bed. She
smiled as she rose and took her seat.
II was not until the conductor came and
asked II she had been hurt that the ex-
preston on her lace changed and she seemed
to be suffering In patient silence.
I'm terribly hurt-on the side she
said in answer TO his inquiry. And It was
the motorman's fault. I'll see my doctor
tomorrow and then III go TO the lawyer
The conductor took her name and then
began collecting the addresses OF the per
son In the car. Tn womsn's companion
stared at her in amazement.

The injured woman smiled broadly and

Barrel Organ Trust, which has its head
quarters here. They would be particu-
larly welcome In the outskirts OF New
York. For the past two summers resi-
dents In these semi-rural districts have
been driven Indoors on pleasant evenings
by barrel organs that date back to the
stone age Of that industry. The organ
grinders ave made more money from
people who paid them 10 &c away than those
whose ears were pleased with this sort of
noise. They never even changed their
route and night after night the same old
tunes would disturb the same neighbor-
hood. One Of these agony producers
explained that the territory was now so
divided that there could be no rivalry.
Perhaps the French organs are no better.
and the fact that the police are driving
them out Of Paris Is suspicious. but they
will probably have the one redeeming
quality Of being different.
A suitable answer 10 the ~scofers Al the
work OF the Staten Island Volunteer Fire
Department at Kings plaster mill two
weeks ago is made In one OF the local papers
by Chief Clarence Cary. The Chief tells
10 n minute when he received the first alarm
and how he sent out other alarms during
the following days. When he reached
the scene OF the fire he writes graphi-

the smoke was so dense that II was impos-
sible to see the faces. At certain
hours Mr.. King had Mr.. Burield supply tho
firemen with coffee and sandwiches. Some
eighty gallons Of coffee and POO sand

the fire engines with ten tons 81 coal
