ENGINE HITS FIRE TRUCK
ONE HORSE SERIOUSLY INJURED;
NONE OF THE MEN HURT.
Saved by Driver Turning Team as
Big Four Locomotive Goes over
West Twelfth-street Crossing.

AS hook and ladder truck No. 3 from No.
) engine house, on West Fifteenth street,
was on its way to a fire last night about
9 o'clock, at S31 West Eleventh street, a
Big Four freight engine crashed into the
truck at the West Tw%elfth-street crossing.
One Of the big horses was so badly in
jured that it will have TO be killed. None
Of the men was injured. The truck had
gone west on Fifteenth street TO Senate
avenue and south to Twelfth street. The
railroad tracks are about one-half block
from Senate avenue, and Driver George
Mumford, in turning off Senate avenue, did
not let the horses go fast. The street was
very dark and Mumford had driven on
the tracks before he saw the engine. The
engine was going at the rate Of about ten
miles an hour. As Mumford saw the en-
CINE he tried TO turn the horses to the north,
but the engine was coming too fast. One
Of the horses was hit on the hip and
knocked from the track. MumfOrd, with
Captain Quinn, d. Lowe, Peter Halderman
and Harry Morrison, had no time 10 jump.
As MumfOrd turned the horses the heavy
truck slightly sweTved around and the
piston rods of the engine scraped the front
wheels. As the engine kept on its journey
the injured horse fell and the fremen, re-
covering from their surprise and excite
ment. jumped from their places and aided
the injured horse TO its feet. 1t was sent
back to- the stable and 4 new horse was
brought to fill its place.
Captain Quinn. after assisting in raising
the horse, ran to a telephone and asked
headquarters to send another truck to the
fire. After the collision the engine con-
tinued n~Orthward and the names of the
crew could not be learned. The engines
number was 3l6. Captain Quinn commend
ed Driver Mumford for his presence of
mind in turning the horses.
The fire on Eleventh street did not
amount to much. The house belonged TO
Charles Hudson. It was said by Hudson
and several of his neighbors that the odor
of kerosene was noticeable after the fire
department had arrived. The fire was
started underneath a porch.

Voices Haze Color.

Giacomo Minkowsky. the well-known
composer, has just asserted that the voice
heard in music is true reflection of
character.
As the eye reveals the scu!, so the voice
Of the singer is a sure index of his temp
erament. 1t may be dark" or white
voice, and We find the voice Of nation
revealed in the notes of the singers whom
it favors.
The distributing point for the singers
voices that carry the delight of music to
all parts Of the world Is Milan, Italy
Here are located artists who have estab-
lished agencies through which their sue
cesses in the musical world may find the
way to those countries where they may
most surely look for favor. These agents
would not send dark" voice among the
gay and volatile French. nor a white"
one to the sombre minded Portuguese or
the philosophical Germans
The white" voice is admired in North
ern Russia. Mazzini is an idol in st.
Petersburg. The southern Russians will
listen only to the dark ones, and the
basso is the favorite with the opera pa
irons in Odessa.

Don t and Doesn't f.

One of the most popular grammatio
errors in the United States is "he DON'T
People who would not dream of letting
such an absurdity as he do cross their
lips, seize every occasion to declare that
he don't" without apparently the least
idea that they are offending against the
laws of the language 1t is very nearly
as easy to say "he doesn't''--one would
not be so unreasonable as to look for a
complete "he does not in this age of
scuttle and rush-and the grammatical in
tegrity of the phrase ought to compen-
safe for the labor of an extra syllable.
The next in popularity-excepting
amt which is more vulgarism than
a grammatical error-seems to be those
sort of things" founded evidently on a
hazy idea that those is under the influ-
ence of the plural things rather than
of the strictly single sort When that
sort OF things" and he doesn't" are re-
stored to their rights in common speech
the words of our mouth will be very much
more acceptable.

Big Game Disappearing.

Those who are after furs and trophies
in Alaska bid fair to depopulate the
frozen region Of its large game. The In
dians are also ramsacking the Territory
for old moose heads. horns. and caribou
remains, and are taking all the live game
in traps.
The United States last hunting ground
is Alaska, and consequently the reckless
slaughter of game is deemed vandalism,
and many prominent people of this coun-
try maintain that Congress should lose
10 time in checking it,
In the British Columbian wilds the few
buffalo remaining are being hunted down
that their heads may be used as orna-
ments for private houses and clubs. Even
the buffalo herd in Yellowstone Park,
which is under the protection of the Gov
ernment, is the victim of surreptitious
raids.
Another great calamity is the destruc-
tion of mountain sheep. The Indians on
the Alaskan coast are killing them for
s. head. while the dealers in Chicago
dispose of the same sheep at from 500
TO $500.

Exercise Essential to Health.

Something which should be carefully
regulated is the amount of exercise a
child be permitted to take. In infancy
the almost incessant movements of a
baby's limbs show how imperative is the
instinct of nature for muscular exercise.
Therefore. ii is important not to restrict
too much the freedom of infants, and
great care should be taken to prevent
their clothing being too tight to allow
ample freedom of the limbs Even the
cry of young child is often useful as
means of exercising the muscles of the
chest. and in moderation must not be dis
courased.
For young children the best muscular
exercise is the movement to which they
are led by their natural playfulness II
left to themselves they will run, tumble,
and wrestle with each other like sportive
kittens, says a well-known writer. Each
limb and every muscle of their bodies will
by turns rise and fall. swell and contract,
and perform all the actions of which they
are capable.
