:RAlSINGA STREET BLOCKADE
One Stubborn Horse Was No Match
, for 4 1900 HORSEPOWER
Trolley Car.

1t is a familiar sight now, the start
ing up of a stalled truck by a trolley car
pushing it; but it seems to interest
people just as much as it did when it
was new, says the New York Sun.
Here, for instance, was tw0-hOrse
truck with a heavy load halted on the
slope in Fulton street, between Church
street and West Broadway. Good team,
and able to haul the load, but the nigh
horse had got tired half way up the
slope and decided to take rest; and, of
course, that tied up the whole business.
In a bad place, too, on that hill.
The man with the driver got down
and touched up the stubborn nigh horse
with the whip, but that only made him
more stubborn, and incidentally made
him kick out sideways in an obviously
earnest endeavor to injure the man with
the whip.
Outfit still stalled; and driver with
big two-horse express wagon comes
up behind and sets his pole against the
load on the truck and starts his horses
and tries to help in that way, but now
neither horse of the stalled team will
pull. The off horse is not hanging back
stubbornly like the nigh horse, but is
standing still and resting, taking ad-
vantage of the situation created by his
more pugnacious team mate.
So there's nothing doing with the
help OF the expires" team, and pretty
soon the express driver sheers off and
drives around the stalled truck and
passes on. But then something hap
pens.
Just as the big express wagon sheered
of, = big Eighth avenue car swung
around the corner from West Broadway
into Fulton street, on it's way to South
Ferry and quickly closed up on the
stalled truck, which was halted square
on the track. The motorman didn't
waste any time, nor did he make any
fuss over it; he just set his brake when
he was about six feet away and then
strapped up his fender against the
dashboard of his car and mounted the
platform again and nursed the car up
to the tail of the truck.
1t was nicely DONE You couldn't
hear it when they came together, with
The iron-bound end of the truck resting
against the heavy end guard of the car,
with the turned-up fender between.
And then the motorman turned on
the power, gently, very gently, but ir-
resistibly. It was $4,000 horse power,
more or less, against one stubborn
horse; and before the truck had been
pushed foot that stubborn nigh horse
settled into his traces and began to pull.
Apparently he had had similar exre-
riences before and knew there was
nothing to do but pull, or have the truck
pushed all over him; and the off horse,
who had been enjoying a rest without
any effort on his part, settled down, too,
and the team walked away with the load
without trouble.
And with the team walked on bunch
OF sidewalk spectators who, apparent
ly, had found in this illustration of the
effectiveness Of the trolley car as
street blockade raiser as much enjoy
ment as they did in the first one they
ever saw.

but he did not succeed in curing me.

merits Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills which
she had used in her family and she in>>

Almost Human Intelligence.

Gentry Bros, who are coming
to Sistersville, Monday, June ~,
have, beyond all doubt, the most
remarkable exhibitions of animal
acting in the world, in the eight
music-loving ponies who play on
bells. They are grouped in semi
circle around the ring, fore feet
resting on miniature pedestals
built for that purpose, while in
their stalls are fastened sweet
sounding bells of different tones,
At the word of command, these in
telligent ponies nod their heads
seemingly at random, but in sec
ond the audience realizes that they
are listening to the, old familiar
strains of Home, Sweet Home. "
Without faltering for an instant,
the musicians play chorus and all,
while the audience, as soon as
they recover from their astonish-
ment, 60 wild with enthusiasm.
The Gentry parade this year is
also different than it ever was be-
fore, many innovations having
been introduced. Performance
begins at 2 and s p. m, parade
leaving the grounds at 10 o'clock
in the morning.

Those Christian gentlemen who
are at the head of the Standard
Oil trust have INDUCED in another
"holdup.' Teaching a Bible
class one day and robbing oil pro-
ducers six days proves a profitable
profession.
Jim" Chambers, who has al
ways been recognized as the rep
resentative of the Standard Oil
company in the Russian fields,
while acting as United States
Consul, seems to be getting very
bold in having been made pur-
chasing agent to buy Russian oil
for the Standard while acting as
an agent of the Government at
the same time. 1t is very evident
the Standard owns the earth.
Another slice taken OF the price
of oil, and still producers are so
foolish as to believe they can
beat the Standard at their own
game. There is nothing but debt
in drilling at present prices.
Standard dividends are not
made to be reduced when adverse
conditions are said to exist. Same
old dividends and further cuts in
price are not improbable.
Men who teach Bible classes on
Sunday and indulge in the pleas
ant pastime of robbing oil pro-
ducers and oil consumers the bal
ance of the week take a long
chance for a place behind the
Pearly Gates.

Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and a gear
there, and loaded down with q lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. I"
Well, they buy it. In little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex.
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot OF
fxtures-they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it will give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner, as Il
gives them but little work
