night he throws his overcoat in the

up in a harness that makes him look

We saw man hitch himself up
in set of single harness the other
day and try to pull one of his door
jambs out by the roots, until he got
purple around the gills. He put on
a bride with straight bit, and pair
of heavy-draft names. Then he put
on his traces and fastened them to
the door-jamb, frightened his girth

and started across the room in a
westerly direction.
He travelled on until he had gotten
all the slack out of mis- traces and
then he came to a halt. For mo-

rugs and champed his bit inpatient

he began to pull like a Clydesdale.
His harness groaned and creaked, he
bumped up his back and wavered

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is toward
preventive measures. The best thought of
the world is being given to the subject. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to cure
It has been fully demonstrated that pneu.
monia one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results
from a cold or from an attact of influenza
grip, and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency of .these
diseases toward pneumonia. This has been
fully proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in recent
wears, and can be relied upon with implicit
confidence. Pneumonia often results from
a slight cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that there is
fever and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that the
patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. It always
cures. For sale by Bennett

PLUCKY GIRL IMMIGRANTS.
Hundreds Are Preparing to Leave
England to Seek New Homes
in South Africa.

The domestic servant problem is
keen in England. 1t is critical in
South Africa-so much so that the
high commissioner recently issued an
appeal for respectable and healthy
English girls willing to work and
make South Africa their home. In re-
Spouse to this appeal so plucl1y young
women from various parts of the Brit
ish Isles have sailed for South Africa,
says London Report.
These girls have been selected for
their physical fitness by the South At
rican expansion committee, and it is
the present intention to send out 100
housewives of the Transvaal, Rho
desia, Cape Colony and Natal are salts
fed.
There were many affecting leavetak-
ings at the committees hostel in
Upper Westbourne terrace, where
most of the girls lived until the time of
their departure, but the girls were full
of hope for the future. An escort
matron will accompany them all the
way, and see them installed in the
committees 'hosteI' at Johannes
burg.
In view of the expected increase of
women emigrants to South Africa, the
horticultural college at Swanley,
Kent, which is under the supervision
of the Kent county council, has opened
a branch for the training of women
for colonial life. The course will oc-
cupy about a year. The syllabus in
cludes seed sowing, fruit packing, jam
making, COW keeping, dairy work,
carpentering, household management,
colonial hygiene and native language.

the right angle at which to pull
First he would head in one direction,
until his eyes hung out over is
cheeks and his neck swelled up until
it would fit No. 26 collar, and then
looking around and seeing that the
door lamb was not following him, he
would slow up and start out in some
other direction. After awhile it be-
gan to dawn ON him that he was max
ing no Roadway and so he unhitched
and quit.
But he seemed determined to de-
stroy his home. He went to another
room, where he tried to pull down
the ceiling by means of two-inch
rope which he found hanging there.
He threw his whole weight upon it
but without effect. Seeing that de-
feat was once more staring him in
the face he began to walk up the
rope by means of his hands. When
nearly to the ceiling he stopped,
hung there at haif-mast.
He remained in that condition for
a long time. Occasionally he would
show signs of life, and jerk and shud-
der as though overcome by some
great grief. 1t was indeed sad to see
a man who had once enjoyed the dis
tinction of being brainy skinning up

he hung there about six feet above
civilization and refused either to
come down or go up little higher
and beat out his brains against the
ceiling.
After awhile the thought seemed to
bly, hope to remain in that position
many days more. So he began to
make preparations for his return.
Instead of walking down on his
hands, he attempted to execute as
best he could under the circum-
stances a feat known in parliament
tary usage and classical poety as
skinning the cat.
This consists of hanging onto any
given object and then throwing the
shoulders out of joint in such man
ner that the body of the artist will

Education and Beauty.

An American scientist has come to
the conclusion that the tendency of
too much education or intellectual de-
velopm> Mt in women is to- make them
lose their beauty. He instances the
FARO women of India. They are SUI
preme. They WOO the mem, control the
affairs of the home and the nation,
transmit property, and leave the men
nothing to do. The result is, says the
scientist, that they are the ugliest
women on earth.

been passenger on the car in question.
When seen this morning Mr.. Lodge ad-

hold up ghe car. but he knew nothing of
1t until informed by the crew on the
trolley. There were but two passengers
in the car" said Mr. Lodge "myself and
an Italian, and we knew nothing Of what
was going on until the conductor and
motorman told us. They both declared
that shots had been fired at the car al

The alleged attempt to hold up the troll
ley occurred about II o'clock at night
near Holly Oak at the same place an att

time ago. The motorman declared that
he saw five men and one OF them stood
near the track. lie said he distinctly

CITY WILL NEED MUCH MONEY
Council Will Probably Borrow $4,000
to Meet Current Expenses Of
Present Year.

city Council is thinking of the fnan-
cial condition OF the city's funds. and
probably will have to borrow money at
the close OF the present fiscal year TO
meet current expenses. How much
will be needed is not known at this
time. but $4,000 has been named as
the sum that will be borrowed.
Il is said that there is 100000 due
the city by property owners, which
could be collected and relieve Council
of any financial difficulties, but moth
ing is being done so far as can be
learned to compel the collection OF out
standing taxes.
