Red Cap to Prevent Terrible
Train Wreck.

Marinette, Wis, May 11.-A-1O-year-

the wreck of a Northwestern train
was averted. A horse of James Briggs
in running away ran upon trestle
and fell between the ties, complete

Freddie knew the train was due, and
Selling his red sweater cap from his
head he ran full speed along the trestle
at the risk of his life until he had
passed the curve and signaled the train,
which was stopped only fifty feet from
the obstruction. The engineer says
the train certainly would have been
thrown over the embankment but for
the boy.

How to Restore Leather.

To clean and restore the kind of
leather that is used on furniture:
Dip a soft woollen cloth in boiling
hot milk and wipe the leather with it,
rubbing gently until all the dirt is re-
n1sved. Then wipe the leather dry
with a soft flannel. When it is clean
go over the surface with a piece of
flannel, on which is spread a thin
layer of prepared wax about as large
as a pea. After waxing, 60 over the
leather with a clean soft flannel, rub
bling briskly, but not too hard.
For the wax, cut two ounces of bees
wax into small bits and put them in a
bowl, place the bowl in a pan of hot
water and set on the back of the
range.
When the wax is soft take it from
the fire and beat into quarter of a
cupful of turpentine and half table
spoonful of paraffin oil. 1t should
now be used, but if it becomes cold
before you are ready to use it, put it
In pan Of hot water and let it stand
for few minutes.
Ordinary black leather, such as is
used for covering books and handbags,
can be restored with a fine quality of
shoe dressing.

There is one fact which needs empha-

that matter, all through the wheat and
cotton growing sections as well, and
that Is that continuous growing of the
same crop year after year on the same
land is absolutely ruinous to the land,
the crop and the man who does it.
There must be rotation Of crops and
a part Of such crops of that character
which will rest and renovate the soil,

Whatever may be the facts about
the Bowen LOOMS controversy, it
deserves probing to the bottom. II
Secretary Loomis was guilty of any

with which Mr.. Bowen charges him

If Mr.. Bowen has been guilty of
furnishing the facts to the news
papers, as Mr.. LOOMS charges, he
should be compelled to resign,
whatever truth there may be in the
charges.

HUNGRY MEN REFUSE WORK
Out of 500: "Bread Liners" in New
York, Only Two Willing to
Take Country Job.

An artist who formerly had studio
in the Fleischman building at Broad
way and Tenth street, recently pur-
chased a country place in Connecticut,
says the New York Press. His expe-
riences in trying to get steady and
reliable man-one who would stick to
his job-to shake the furnace in win
ter, NOW the lawn and hoe the vege-
table garden in summer, were varied
and manifold and altogether unsatis-
factory. He had it firmly impressed
the country was no small undertaking
Then ne thought of the bread line"
which formed each night under the
windows of his old studio in New York
the line in which shivering and hun
cry men waited for hours to get the
dole of bread which kept them from
starvation. Mr.. Fleischman, the

men-men who really needed the food
were his benefciaries. when
man will stand for two or three hours
waiting in a line for loaf of bread"
the philanthropist had said, ut is
pretty sure sign that he needs it"
This was the light in which the artist
members of the bread line and he
glowed with phi1anthropic fervor as
he thought: "Now here is good
home and good job for some poor
and deserving uevil. Why did not
think of it before!"
So he went to Capt. Henry, the Off
cial of the FleiSchman establishment
who supervises the bread line nightly,
and stated his case.
That night there were 500 men In
the line and Capt. Henry went along
it announcing to all that good job
was waiting at Darien, Conn.,, for any
one who wanted it. OF those 500 men
only two expressed willingness to
accept the offer, and one Of these was
not over-enthusiastic about it All the
others declared that they wanted job,
and wanted it badly-but not in the
country In short, of the 500, 498 pre-
ferred to sleep in the parks or cheap
and crowded lodging houses, to live
on charity or by begging, to endure
hunger, rags and misery in the city
rather than go to comfort and plenty
in the country.
The man whom Capt. Henry chose
of the two who did volunteer has SO
far proved all that his employer could
wish, and has shown no indication of
desire to return to the old life of
the city. But the season is young yet
and this man was one ont of 500.

WILL EXPEDITE SHOPPING.
New Air Tube Service in London
Will Aid in Delivery of
Packages.

The scheme authorized by a bill in
parliament to provide the whole of the
huge city of London with an air-tube
service for the carriage of parcels is
ambitious, if not startling; yet the
marvellous development of public util-
titles in these days gives pause to those
who at first blush might regard the
project of the Metropolitan Delivery
company as beyond the realm of the
feasible. The scheme aims to substi-
tute for the present slow methods of
the parcels post and other deliveries in
London system of pneumatic under
ground tubes, in which purchases at
the stores would be shot to their des-
tinatiOn at the rate of 80 miles an
hour, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
The project must overcome powerful
OPPOSITION and will be delayed; but as
a rule public utilities which are feas-
IDLE are eventually introduced.
In the hearing before the parlia-
mentary committee appointed to con-
slider the matter, it was shown that the
average time required for the delivery
of parcels by the post office in London
is about three hours. By the proposed
system it was asserted that parcels
could be delivered anywhere in the
city in an average of one hour, an
averaging saving of two hours for each
parcel The London post office and
delivery companies charge according
to weight and size. The tube COM
pany offers fixed charge for all par
cells under Is pounds and the toll will
be less than that charged by any ex-
listing method of conveyance.
1t was urged that the company could
deliver but a small fraction of the vast
number of parcels delivered by the
London shops. The company's en-
gineer estimated over a third of this
enormous traffic could be accommo-
dated by the pneumatic service. 1t
was declared that 217,4S6,O0O parcels
are distributed in the metropolis year
ly, and that the company could take
care OF SOOOO,000. The promoters
seemed to be prepared to meet all OBJ
jections to the practicability of the
scheme. Counsel opposing the bill en-
deavored to show that large proper
ton of the parcels sent out by the
London shops could not be shot
through the 12-inch tubes proposed.
The company, anticipating the objec-
ton, had kept watch at the great de-
partment stores, and found that "a per
cent. of the parcels sent out were
'tubeable"
While the proposed system would
greatly facilitate deliveries of shop
pers' parcels to the 172 receiving sta
lions, this method of carriage would
scarcely be accepted as satisfactory
substitute for the home delivery of the
days purchases; but it is imaginable
that the perfected parcel tube system
Of the future will have it's connection
with every house, so that the goods
will reach home long before the most
