WHEN THE DAY WAS WARM.
Pretty Girl Came Near Telling How
Hot II Was and Young
Man Helped.

II was on one of those hot days late
ly. The cashier of a big downtown
Office felt very hot and testy in her
iron cage. She is very pretty girl,
relates the Chicago Record Herald,
with fluffy brown hair, which was be-
ing blown about in most tantalizing
manner by an electric fan near by.
A jauntily dressed young fellow step
ped TO the window TO pay bill. He
had handsome, mischievous face, and
one could easily judge that he saw the
funny side OF life. The cashier handed
him a receipt, and as he folded il he
said confidingly to the pretty cashier:
This is very hot day"
"Oh, yes, il is hotter than -" and
before she could supply a strong
enough superlative with which 10 eli
max her sentence, the young man said:
You are right, | thought so, too. "
Then with hearty ha, ha, hal" he was
gone.
The girl Strengthened up In her chair
and unused with rising Indignation.
What did he mean? Did the brute
think | would have mentioned that in
fernal region? Oh, well, il is almost
as hot as there, | guess" And she
settled down in her chair again and
sighed complacently as she deftly
tucked a stray lock of hair back to its
proper position.

How Owls Catch Chickens.

When ! was a chunk of a boy shot
a horned owl, the spread of whose wings
was four and one-haf feet. and TO the
surprise of the boy who had carried II
for several miles the weight was only
four pounds. They were rather numer-
Gus at that time in that section Of the
country and were troublesome about
carrying off chickens, which mostly
roasted in apple trees about the farm
buildings. The belief that they could
carry away full grown hens was a COM
mon one. 1t was also commonly believed
that an owl never picked a chicken off
the roost, but alighting on the limb
crowded the chicken of and as it flew
toward the ground caught it on the
wing.-Forest and Stream.

but which China and Japan developed
ages ago. 1t was not, however, until the
fourteenth century, says the Chicago
Daily News, that fireworks became
known TO western nations, although
green fire had been used in European
warfare for long time before that date.
Fireworks were used in public pa
geantry in Europe, according TO the
records. in 1888 The early development
of fireworks in Europe was due to the
Florentines and for a long time the
Italians maintained their supremacy in
this field.
In roman candles the stars or balls
of fire are made up Of gunpowder ingre-

ais. compacted into hard masses by the
aid of gum or shellac. These rest on

gunpowder. interspersed between we'll

Coolly Countered by Small At

A little Afro-American was trying TO

displayed no timidity about poaching
on others territory. But his innocence
OF custom was not to last long. A boy Of
about his own age came along and looked
his African rival over. Then he said un-

there is extra space, fill in by using
an extra block or strip of wood at the

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS.
Low Ratio Compared with Those
Happening TO Vehicles OF
Other Kinds.

The Automobile Club of America
has made a careful examination OF the
records in the Offices OF the New YORK
coroners. the police department and
are board OF health 70 determine the
ratio OF accidents caused by automo-
miles and those due to street cars
and vehicles drawn by horses, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. The
examination covered the period De
tween January l and May i or the
present year. Inasmuch as the pro
norton of automobiles in use in New
ork is quite as large, II not larger
than that OF any other city In the
United States, the results reached by
the clubs investigation ought 10 falr-
ly represent the relative danger OF au-
tomobiles to human life as compared
with that OF other vehicles employed
in the public streets.
The popular idea is that the auto
mobile is the most dangerous venlcle
used in our municipalities, and 1t has,
therefore. been freely branded as the
devil wagon" This impression has
doubtless grown out Of the newness OF
the automobile as a road vehicle. IL
is constantly conspicuous in the pub
lie eve. Those accidents for which 1t
is responsible are, therefore, more
generally noticed than those which are
caused by street cars and Venlcles
drawn by horses. Public familiarity
with the latter has produced an lndlf-
ference TO the number of the acct
dents which they cause. Street car
or horse runaway accidents attract
little attention, and are quickly for
gotten. no matter how numerous or
how serious in character they may be
An automobile accident is liable, how
ever, to linger in the public mind
indefinitely.
The statistics Of New York street
accidents compiled by the club go far
TO prove that the public belief regard
ing the danger 10 human life from
the automobile is entirely erroneous.
During the four months covered by
the clubs investigation II deaths were
caused in New York by automobiles,
81 by horse-drawn vehicles and 81 by
street cars. These road machines in
jured also 81 persons, whereas horse
drawn vehicles injured 1922 persons,
and the street cars 173 during the
same period. According TO this show
ing, street cars are the most deadly
of wheeled agents in the public
streets, while automobiles are the
least fatal and least dangerous, where
as horse-drawn vehicles are respon-
sible for nearly as many street acct
dents of all kinds as automobiles and
street cars combined. In fact, it has
been discovered that almost all of
the recent casualties in New York for
which the automobiles were respon-
sible were due to the carelessness or
recklessness of irresponsible chauf-
feurs. 1t is very plain, therefore, that
with proper management and strict en-
forcement of police regulations gov
erning speed automobiles should be
classed and treated as the least dan
gerous of all road vehicles in mod
ern use.

INDIAN HAS SAILOR WALK.
His Step Is Nearly Flat-Footed and
His Poise Is Like the
Mariners.

A woodsman walks with a rolling
motion, his lips swaying an inch or
more TO the stepping side, and his
pace is correspondingly long. This
hip action, says Field and Stream,
may be noticed TO an exaggerated de-
gree in the stride of a professional
pedestrian, but the latter walks with
a heeland-toe step, whereas an In
dams or sailors step is more nearly
fiat-footed. In the latter case the
center Of gravity is covered by the
whole foot. The poise is as secure as
that of ropewalker. The toes are
pointed straight forward, or even a
trife inward, so that the inside of
the heel, the outside of the foot and
the smaller toes all do their share
OF work and assist in balancing.

point OF the bit can be felt coming
through turn the piece over and finish
the hole from the opposite side. Ia
this way all tearing and splintering OF
the surface by the outgoing cutters OF
the bit will be avoided.
The working plan by which the
stretcher can be laid out is shown at
Zig. 73), and great care must be
taken TO fit the lemons closely TO the
mortises in the ends.

fastening the cleat TO the upper part
of the end is illustrated.

screws Ia inch, No. IL, as shown. III is
then removed and glued, after which
the screws are driven down firmly into
place. Four "A -inch holes are bored in
each cleat to receive the screws, which
will connect the ends with the top.
These screws must also be 1A-inch,
No. Il, and all screw heads must be
countersunk even with the surface or
the cleat. The positions for both sets
of screws are shown at G. The details
for the wedges are shown at K and at

wedges TO their mortises for If driven
too hard the lemons will be split, or
the end of the tenon beyond the wedge
will be driven out. For this reason it
is claimed that the construction shown
at ID is very much stronger than the
former. In this no lemons are made
on the stretcher, but instead four long,
heavy wood screws are used (2-inch,
No. 12), and the wedge blocks and
wedges are made separately and put
on as ornaments only, in the manner
