A LIVE; POI
CAME NEAR KILLING a YOUNG
LADY ON FAlRMONT AVENUE
l. LAST EVENING.
MISS EEULAH INGRAM PUT HER
HAND AGAINST a TELEPHONE
POLE, AND WAS KNOCKED
DOWN.

Last evening about nine o'clock.
Miss BeuIah Ingram, of the South
Side, came near meeting death in
horrible manner. She was passing
along the walk at the corner OF FAIR
mont avenue and Fifth street, when
she put her hand against telephone
pole, touching the chain that comes
from the electric light. From some
cause the chain had been charged and
instantly Miss Ingram was thrown IN
TO the street. She uttered scream
and several persons ran to her assist
ance. She was picked up and 1t was
found that she had received severe
shock However, in a few minutes
she was able to get on a car and go to
her home This morning she is feel
ing we'll and suffers no injury from
her experience.
If Miss Ingram had taken hold OF
the chain with firm grip, there is
no doubt but that it would have Killed
her But she merely touched 1t ana
that is why she was not seriously IN
jured Supt. Hood, of the Traction
Company, was notified about the dan
gerous condition of the pole, and he
took immediate steps to have 1t fixed.
II is not considered safe to-day and
frame is kept around it SO that no one
else will be shocked. l-
There have been several cases OF
poles beconins charged in the past
year, and about two years ago young
man was killed on Fairnont avenue
Several boys were slightly shocked
U.iy,f fny
while skating, but the matter was new
er reported. It is a dangerous th1hS
and should be looked after and pre-
vented whenever possible. The troll
BILE is that no one ever knows anything
about it until some one else has come
in contact with it.

His Mind Changes.

Little five -year-old Tommy Winston
had been worrying his father about
purchasing pony. The little fellow
fellow that he needed some kind of
playmate. Tommy's father assured
him that it was impossible for him to
buy pony. 1t would cost too much,
and, besides, he would have to build a
stable.
"And you'd have to buy hay too,
wouldn't your" chimed in Tommy.
There was lull in the conversation.
By-and-by, thinking to appease the
troublesome youngster, Mr.. Winston
said,-
Some day the Lord will send you a
little brother, Tommy, end then you
will have all the playmate that you will
want"
WELL" said Tommy, 81 wish the
Lord would hurry up, cause I'd rather
have brother than pony anyhow,
l think"
Some months later Tommy's papa
told him that his little brother had
come from heaven. Tommy was de-
lighted. When they allowed him to go
in and see the new arrival little Tommy
was laughing and chuckling in high
glee. He wanted to kiss the baby; he
wanted to hold him in his arms; and
actually desired to take him out for a
stroll. When he found tnat he could
not do any Of these things, then he
asked thousand questions. "Did the
Lord have many little babies in heayenY'
"Was all the little babies angels?''
"Did all the Lords little babies have
no teeth?" and so on.
Five or six days after the coming Of
the little brother Tommys pleasure be
gan to moderate somewhat. The nurse
had told him that he must stay out Of
the room if he couldn't keep quiet
Not an hour passed during the day but
that she would open the door and hal
a loo, "Sh-sh! Don't make so much
i noise: you'll wake up the baby
1t was not long before Tommy de
cided that the little brother was NOR,
of curse than blessing. He though
he would take his troubles to his father
One evening he went into the librar,
, and climbed upon his fathers knee.
Papa" he said, 81 tell you l don
{ want my little baby brother, after all
{ l think I'd rather have pony!"
) Before his father could recover frou
his establishment Tommy went on,-
y "Why don't you take little bab
e brother and swap him for pony?"
u 81 couldn't do that, my son. sal
e Mr.. Winston.
3, Tommy thought awhile, and the
70 said,-
d "Well, maybe nobody would give 20
l. pony for him, bnt don't you thin
1t somebody would let you have at least
i. goat ii you was to let 'em have litt
10 brother?'-Silas X. Floyd in Novembe
