press train speed. Mcdonald decided
he might be breaking the city ordi-

but the chain snapped.
Across North Park avenue he
dashed. and his only chance left was
To make the turn into one of the park
drives. just as he turned an autumc-

TO FORM CHRISTIAN COLON
Movement started by University stu
dent to Garry Religious WORK In
to Chicago Stockynrds District.

Several Hyde Park families in
Chicago are going to move their
homes into the stockyardS district,
where they will form a Christian coll
ony among the laboring people. This
movement for the establishment of
social and religious work is Lobby
Allen Burns. divinity student at the
University of Chicago. He is backed
in tie movement by Rev. DR.. c. K.
Henderson. a professor in the sociol-
ogy department of the university.
THE holding of nonsectarian re-
licious services and religious work in
general will be the new feature of
our social work" said Mr.. Burns, the
other tlav. I'VE believe that the weak
point Of Tie settlement work now be-
ing done is that the residents do not
gle to the people the same inspira-
ton of Christianity which takes them
into this field."
Mr.. Burns is confident that suit
able individuals and families will
move from their better located
homes in the district to form Chris
tian colony. He says that some have
volunteered already.
~ Twelve Hyde Park churches, be-
tween Thirty-ninth and Fifty-ninth
streets are to effect the organization
of an association to back Mr.. Burns
in his colonization project.

WIFE'S ODD REVENGE.
Gives Her Husband a Coating of salt
in n Pasture. and the Cows In
fiict the Punishment.

To repay her husband for a beating
he had given her during a drunken
orgy Mrs. Thomas Folly, of English,
Ind, devised punishment that will
rank among the most fearful tor
lures of the inquisition, both for ef-
fective results and creative genius.
Foley is habitual drunkard. He
failed 10 come home at his usual
hour the other night, and Mrs. Foley
set out alone To search for him. She
was rewarded by finding the object
of her solicitude in large field which
is used for the pasturHge of many
cattle.
Angered by his intoxicated stupor.
and wildly mindful of the manner in
which she had been marked with the
bruises that she still bears, the wom-
an determined to rid herself ami the
world of diSagreeable burden.
She ran quickly back tn the house,
procured long piece of rope and n
bag of salt and returned tn the field.
Then she bound the prostrate inc
briate's hands and feet, rubbed the
salt upon his face, hair, hands and
clothing. and left him to be licked 10
death by the salt-loving cattle about
him.
The event proved that her shrewd-
ness was founded on an awful prob
ability, for when Foley was found in
the morning his hair was cropped
from his head his clothing was liter
ally eaten from HIS body, and even
his skin worn raw in many places by
eager bovine tongues.
1t is expected that Foley will sue
his wife for divorce on the ground of
cruel and inhuman treatment, though
no local jury will grant him decree.
Mrs. Foley may have been cruel, but
she had adequate cause, and the whole
town appreciates her remarkable clev-
erness

1t is reported that Il. F. Keith is to
build new theater, and he will try to
make it the finest in New York, but
that was all that those interested in
his enterprise were willing to admit
the other day. 1t is known that it
will be Is Stories high. and that it will
be both a home for the drama and an
Office building. The greatest innora-
ton. it is said, will be in the arrange

Others that there will be no incon-

'Twixf Earth

BY Norman Duncan.
E WAS a strong, quick lad Of six.
teen years. If big bones, blue
eyes and a tow head count fol-

It was his duty fer eight hours of
every Working-day to fetch and carry
over the Orders and crosspieces, as the
great cantilever bridge grew, foot by
foot, out over the rayine. Bolts, tools.
water and what not he took nimbly from
place to place at the call Of the workers.
Most Of his waking hours were spent IN
perilous places, high in the air, Where
a misstep meant death. s
Nobody knew who he was, and only
the foreman knew where he came from.
The men of the gang called him John-ss
son's kid" Johnson, the brusque, 81
gantic foreman, called him plain kld,
and, curiously, seemed to value the DUMB
affection and loyalty the wait gave him.
The foreman was ready enough TO re-
spond with his fists when the kid needed
protection from the batting of the men,
which was often; but a show OF tender-
ness was far from him.
4 The kids regard for Johnson was past
the understanding Of the gang In the
sight Of the men, who hated him Tor ms
abusive tongue, the foreman mad no
traits to win love. 1t was commonly
put down to a queer twist in the boys
nature that he should care for ] Johnson
AS matter of fact, this affection had It's
source in a happening of two years before.
when the White Rock bridge was bqlft
Northwest, and the kid was new at the
work 1t was there. one day, when ne
was walking twe.ve-inch girder 207 8feet
above the river, that the kid lost his

Of the affair at $50 bunch. In the rose
room Of the Majestic there also was a
splendid affair in the coming out of Miss
Jane Morgan and Miss Mary Madeline
Morgan.
A more costly at home introduction OF
debutante was that of Miss Emma Sew
ard, niece Of William H. Seward; also
the reception in honor of Miss Julia Lor-
rillard Edgar. Dinners and cotillons
formed part Of these, with the usual f.
vors, which might cost anything one
might suppose, but which usually are well
under the So mark.
One of the new things of the last sea-
son-Which was comparatively tame
one-was the idea of~th sport-loving
father of a debutante. AS favors he gave
men handsome jointed fishing rods with
silken lines and silver hooks. The men
cast these among throng of beautiful
women and escorted to supper the one
upon whom the silver hook fell Some
record-breaking casting was done there
that night, skill being shown sufficient to
break the heart of an expert at the sports
mems show.
And regarding receptions and sucl
functions, by the way, the idea of Mrs
George Gould is growing in favor and
: may receive social sanction next season.
At all receptions held by the George
Goulds at Lakewood powdered wigs are
prominent. FOotmen, waitery and al,
such serious house employees wenr the
snowy wigs Of old. They are something
stunning in their knickerbockers, and the
thing is SO effective that it threatens to
become the fashion. So a bewigged foot
man or coachman may be looked for
soon. .E, .--a --s" r. g.

On this occasion the kid had dropped
his pail OF water and sunk to the girder
He lay fiat on his stomach, gripping the
Iron with his arms and knees. His case
was desperate. Terror of the space be-
low had utterly overcome him. 1t seemed
Inevitable that he should faint of sheer
fear, and tumble through 2O7 feet of
space to the river. His arms were fast
becoming nerveless. ~ E=s$ 4q5
1t was Johnson who perceived the boys
predicament. He was quick to act, and
his experience made him fertile in expe-
dents. Calmly and whistling, he walked
along a parallel girder to where the kid
lay, Just out Of reach. Then, for as long
as he dared, ne looked up and down the
river, humming the chorus of an old song.
He observed that his near presence and
self-possession seemed to quiet the lad:

Then the boy got to his feet. While

man kept roaring his command to make
haste. When the boy reached the plat

but the foreman was there to catch him,
and carried him: the rest Of the way to the
bluff .5
1t was for this that the kid loved john

| day that Johnson came as near to loving
the kid as he could come. perhaps. to low
ing ANYTHING.
! In the noon hour, which is the time for
sky1arking, the boy climbed the outmost
upright, bent on proving his courage, that
he might put q stop to the gibes of the
men once and for all. There was an eight
een-inch plate riveted securely to the top
tof the upright. Upon this he clambered,
lpersevering against the warning cries Of
the men. who had gathered to watch him.
