New York on a recent slippery day
BY y Broadway motorman to the
delight Of all the beholdcrs.
1t was the of horse Of big
brewery team that was down,
aud with this horse down the out
III altogether blocked both car
tracks. The driver, headed north,
had attempted to cross over from
from the west side 10 the east side
OF Broadway. to continue on up,
and that off horse had gone down
while crossing between the two
tracks, falling so as to block the
up track, while the wagon stood
across the down.
Cars began to bank up, OF
course, right away. on both sides
of the obstruction, the first car
thus held up being one on the
down track, whose motorman,
without any fuss, promptly
proved himself a man quite equal
10 the emergency.
The minute he had got his brake
set and his car brought to a stand.
still he began operating with his
foot the plunger that runs down
through the car platform to work
the valve of the sandbox carried
underneath, from which sand is re-
leased upon the track when the
rails are slippery; and operating
the plunger thus he now LET run
out upon the track sand enough to
make a nice little cOnical mound.
Then he reached mp and took
down from the forward end of the
hood of his car the number plate
carried thereto serve now as u
shovel. And with this handy i'm
plement he scOOped up without
waste the sand from the little
mound and spread it around on
the slippery pavement under the
fallen horses hoOfs, so disposed
that the horse would find it with
his feet when he tried TO rise.
And the sharp sand served this
purpose admirably; the horse was
on his feet in Il minute; and then
the policeman and the driver
moved him enough to let the cars
on the up track go by, and a minute
later the driver had the horse
hooked up again, and the whole
outfit clear of both tracks. by
which timethe ready.witted motor.

Nor is it only Hungarians, Nor

strain. Wherever one encounters

that the kaiser is only waiting fol

policy on the assumption that
Kaiser Wilhelm must at any cost
be kept at arms length IL the indie

tempt is made to conceal the
anxiety with which the triple ALI

mistrust the kaiser inspires.
Now that William III, is a dis
turbing element in the world, a
force that makes for strife, cannot
be denied; it il not altogether
without reason that whatever he
does or leaves undone is regarded
with suspicion. and excites both
unrest and apprehension. This
feeling prevails even among his
own subjects, who frankly con
fess that they are never quite sure
what he will do next. and would
be less worried than they are il
they did. None the less, there is
surely touch of exaggeration in
