CAR AS 1T WAS ABOUT TO
BUMP BOY.
Cruel Wheels Were Just Nippinq the
Edge Of the Boys Hat When
Stopped.

SEATTLE, WASH Dec ia
young woman with lusty lungs and
a voice that sounded like a whistle in
a tunnel, proved to be life saver on
Second avenue and Columbia street
at noon today.
The gusts of wind lifted the hat off
of a fat, bald headed man as he was
crossing the street The cold rain spit
down on the shiny pate, and the fat
man numbered after his hat, which
was dancing gaily toward the car
tracks Then a small book, who had
read somewhere of another small boy
who had rescued the hat of a fat man
being rewarded with tip on the stock
market that Melted him $1,OO0,OOO,
darted out after the hat.
AS he reached for the headpiece of
off and landed squarely in the middle
Of the track. One of those heavy
the street, but the boy was so busy
reaching for the hat that he did not
hear or see the approaching car.
The boy was bending over reaching
for the hat, and from his position it
was no trick to tell where he would
catch the next car if he did not move
rapidly, when Tessie, the life-saver,
got in her work.
The cruel wheels were just nipping
the edge of the boys hat and in an
other fraction of a second he would
have received a bump that would have
Jared him to his heels, when Tessie
let loose that weird Shrek that stop
ped traffic for half a block.
When that soul searching sound
struck the air the wind shifted and
every motorman on Second avenue
shut off the current and applied the
air brakes, just as a measure of pre-
caution, and looked around wildly to
see from what 0lfect1On the storm
was coming The motorman on the
Ballard car swung onto the brake un-
til he threatened to rupture a blood
vessel, the boy jumped to one side of
the track while Tessie leaned heavily
on a telephone pole and looked as if
she would faint if there was a man
near enough to catch her.
The hat rolled off the rail into the
middle of the tracks, so that the
wheels missed it. When the car stop

got his hat and the one belonging to
the fat man and emerged, covered
with grease and broad smile. The
fat man took his hat with the air of
a man who has been kept standing in
the rain altogether too long already.
There was no tip, and Tessie stagger-
ed into a drug store and ordered
koko-kola to brace up her shattered
nerves and mend her ear-splitting
voice. Then the incident was closed.

Strange as it may seem, Spaniards
and Portuguese have never been able
to make any Roadway in colder lati-
tudes. In South America, while nearly
the whole of that continent is occu-
MED by the descendants of the Spanish
and Portuguese, the temperate regions
toward the south have never been
properly colonized by them. Patago-
MIA and northern Chile, which possess
an almost English climate, have little
attraction for the natives of southern
Europe. Both Germans and Russians
are increasing rapidly in point of num-
bers, though the latter language has
had but little influence on western
civilization. This may be owing to the
apathy of the Russians themselves,
who are perhaps the best linguists in
the world and are often more at home
in French. German or English than in
the language of their own country.
This is particularly true of the upper

There was not a large attendance at
the Woman's Club meeting Monday after
noon and there were few matters of bus
mess that will be of interest to the absent
ones. Early in the year when quite a
sum of money was devoted to the work
of the vacation school it was thought it
might be best to omit the usual gentle
mems night held in February, and some
other arrangement be made for that
meeting. 1t is now found that there is a
sufficient balance to provide for the usual
meeting and the president asked that
the members express themselves to the
members of the executive board or to
herself before the next meeting, their
preference in the matter, that the execu-
tive board might be better able to decide.
The Club silver is to be in the care of
Miss Fannie Russell and may be rented
OF her. The curfew law was reported on,
and letters were read from DR.. Phillips Of
Rutland. telling of the workings of the
law in that city; Mrs. Sulloway reported
favorably of the law in st. Adams, and it
was reported as successfully operated in
other places. Mrs. Fair banks gave the
opinion of the chief of police, sheriff, and
pastors of the town, favoring some law
that would restrict children between the
ages of 10 and Is from frequentir1g the
streets after 8 O'Clock in the evening. 1t
was suggested that the matter be talked
about as much as possible, and the time
for official action will be at the village
meeting IL January. Mrs. Harlan N.
Wood was admitted to the club member
ship; and Mrs. Frank D. Thompson was
elected State Federation director. Re-
net / lie (o<ls
ing recently held in Bellows Falls.
The program was in charge of the
domestic science committee, Mrs. 7. O..
Sherburne chairman. AS the money
usually appropriated for the use of this
committee was used for the vacation
school, the parts were taken by home
talent, and at the close of the papers the
feeling was expressed that it was a wise
judgment and that the papers were well
worth the amount often paid for pro-
fessional talent. Mrs. Helen M. Hawley
gave very interesting paper on Colon
ial Home Life" giving a happy descrip-
ton OF the homes and furnishings of
those times, of the food and manner OF
cooking, and of the improvements and
changes during the following years.
Following this Mrs. Hawley gave the
story OF the origin of Thanksgiving and
its observation from then until the pres
ent time.
Miss Flora Morse also gave an inter-.
esting paper on'' Some phases of domestic
science today" contrasting the home lite
of the present with the past, taking as
one feature that of picking, preserving
and canning. She gave a description of
the plant of the Heinz company and its
great growth. and drew comparisons
between the conveniences in the care of
the sick, and the precautions taken now
a-days, with those of former days.
