reported that they had purchased
four head of Angus COWS for o., 900,
and two head Of Ayreshire cows for
400, and had been given free of cost

Mi.sed a Train That Was a Day Late.
When the Switz City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern,
1t was narrow gauge road, the road
bed was bad. the engines and cars
were built on miniature scale, and
while there was schedule, had train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as a miracle. The road was
known as the TRY Weakly"
On one occasion Josiah Mcconnell
desired to go to Swift City from Sulli-
van but missed the train by minute
or two. The clock at the station show
ed that the train had left Sullivan five
minutes ahead OF time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for 5000
damages On trial of the case 1t
was proved beyond doubt that the
train Mcconnell missed should have
gone the day before and was really

JudHes' wign.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them stern, judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that 1t fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French judge
in the seventeenth century, when, hap
pening to don marquis wig one day,
he found it gave him such stern and
dignitied appearance that he decided
to get one for himself and wear 1t at
all times in court. This he did. and
the result was SO satisfactory from a
legal point Of view that not only
judges. but barristers also, took up the
custom throughout Europe.

RAN AWAY WlTHDR. HOUCHTO.I
Tie Clergyman Was standing In the Han
som Tnsslng nj the ReIns when Lieut..
Fortcscnc LEFT His Girl COmpan-
ions and Caught the Horses Birdie.

The Rev. Dr. George c. Houghton, rector
OF the Church Of the TRANSPORTATION, better
known as The Little Church Around the
Corner was n an exciting runaway on
Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon DR..
Houghton left his home at 1 East Twenty
ninth street about o'clock to make few
calls. Ho climbed into hanson cab in
front of the Calumet Club.
Soon after o o'clock Or. Houghton, in
the neighborhood Of Fifth avenue ard
Fortitth street, ordered the driver John
McMarron, to take him hone. At the
top Of the incline at Thirty fifth street
the cab horFe began to increase his sreed,
and when they crossed the 1hrty-fourth
street car tracks DR.. Houghton was al
most jolted out Of his seat,
He hammered on tie top Of the cab
with his cane and asked TIE driver to
20 slower The horse apparently took it
as a signal for him to so faster. DR.. Rough-
ton showed up the little trapdoor in the
roof and saw the drivers face wRs set and
that he was tugging on the reins with all
his strength. Then Or. Houghtou realized
that the horse WIS running away
The clergyman stood up and grabbed
the reins ard cdded his strength to that
of the driver. The horse didn't seem to
mind.
At Twenty-rinth street tho horse ves
going at terrific PACE, and the drivers
Of other vehicle turned into the side streets
to give the runaway room. Near Twenty
eighth street wheel of the hanson hat a
lamppost and upset it, but the horse, with
the bit between his teeth, paid no attention
to the wreck
Coming up the avenue on the west side
was young man with several pretty girls.
He saw the runaway, leaped into the road
way and grabbed the bride. He was
jerked along the asphalt for twenty or thirty
feet but he never let go. His weight WAS
too much for the horse, and with couple
of sharp tugs at the bit he brought the
animal to stop.
The young man started to rejoin his
friends, but DR., Houghton didn't intend
to let his rescuer escape, and jumped out
OF the hanson and started after him. Even
when running, the minister was dignifed,
but the young man had got so far away
that DR.. Houghton had to yell to him.
Here, here, young man. you can't escape
me like that 1 want your name"
~Oh, that is not necessary" replied the
stranger.
We'll, don't know about that" said
Dr. Houghton. Il want to thank you,
anyway, because / think you have saved
my life
DR.. Houghton shook hands with the
young man and insisted that he leave his
name Finally, the young man told him
that he was G. r. Fortescue Of the United
States Army. They shook hands again,
and then the young man rejoined his friends.
DR.. Houghton went home on foot.
There is g. r. Fortescue who is a
Lieutenant in the Fourth Cavalry. At
the Army and Navy Club it was said that
Lieut.. Fortescue was a member Of the
club, but that the Fourth Cavalry was
stationed out West.
