CARS CUT OFF A BABY's FOOT.
Mother Holds Child While IL is
Caught Fast Under Passing Train.

Milwaukee, Wis. - Mrs. John Fl.
Bahr dragged her baby daughter, Ell
sic, to the side of a railroad track
and held the child firmly to the
ground while a ponderous engine
snapped off the child's foot. When
rescuers arrived both mother and
child had tainted, one from horror
and the other from pain.
Mrs. Bahr and her three children
were crossing the maze of st. Paul
tracks when Elsie's foot caught be-
tween the rail and crossing in such
manner it could not be extricated or
pulled from the shoe. A fast freight
train was upon them. Brushing the
other two children to one side, the
mother caught Elsie and dragged her
body to one side, throwing herself
upon the child to hold her down. 1t
was all over in a minute. Then they
took Elsie to a hospital. Her life
had been saved.

Seeking to Save.

Christ is in all His redeemed, as
the soul of their soul, the life of
their life. He is the plying heart
and the helping hand of God with
every needy, praying spirit in the
world. He is the sweet light of the
knowledge of God that breaks in up
on every p~enitent heart.
He is not only with those who be-
lieve in Him and love Him, but also
with those who neither believe in
Him nor love Him, that He may be
to them also Jesus their Saviour.
The Christ of God is in thy heart,
waiting and aiming to get the con-
sent of thy will, that He may save
thee. Wherever man is, there also
is Christ, endeavoring to free him
from the law of sin and death, by
becoming Himself the law of the
spirit of his life.-John Pulsford.

TO PREVENT PROMOTION OF OLD OFFICERS
MILITARY MEN ARE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL NOW BEFORE
CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S.-The
final outcome of the discussion on the
subject of army retirements is awaited
with considerable interest in army cir
cles. The purpose of the house mill
tary committee to prevent promotion
and the immediate retirement of Off
GERS Of high rank will not be realized
by the clause Incorporated in the an
nual army bill by that committee. The
provision is so worded that the require
ment that no officer above the rank
application" until he shall have served
at least one year in such rank was
evidently intended by the committee to
prevent immediate retirement of Off
GERS of the grades Of colonel, brigadier
general and major general who might
be advanced, and who must serve at
least one year in the higher grade Of
course, the same rule applies to Off
GERS below the grade of colonel who
become brigadier generals for the pur
pose of retirement for higher grade
and increased pay. If the intention of
the committee prevailed now, it would
be impossible to promote General Cor
bin to be a lieutenant general, and it
would have been impossible to promote
the three line officers who were re-
Gently made brigadier generals and to
retire them Immediately. The commit.
tee defeated it's own object, however, by
inserting the words ION his own appli-
cation" This makes a limitation
which can easily be avoided, as Off
GERS need not apply for retirement.
and they will still be eligible to promo
ton and immediate retirement.

of George Middleton, an employe of

raculous escape from death. Middle
ton while engaged with others in hoist
ing a heavy piece of machinery into
position, fell from a beam to the con-
crete floor twenty-six feet below. He
landed squarely on his head and al
most Immediately the heavy piece OF
machinery fell, striking him across the
legs. Fellow workmen picked him up
and supposed they were handling a
lifeless form, but examination proved
that Middleton had not even broken a
bone. Beyond a shaking up he was
none the worse for his experience.

He'd Work for Nothing.

likes to talk about the game. OF one
of his friends; a Golf tyro, he said:
BLANK went to play one day, and,
the rather forward manner
of his caddie, discharged the lad and
took another in his place.
THE discharged caddie, instead of
retiring in a seemly manner to the
clubhouse, lowered about. He regarded
closely the mans rather clumsy play
On his freckled young face a sneer
came and went.
BLANK chose a stick and swung fol
a long drive. But he missed the ball
1.-The discharged caddie gave a louG
laugh.
BLANK frowned at the boy anG
swung again-a mighty swing-bu,
again he miss =.
There came from the caddie another
loud, harsh laugh.

third time only turf and dust rose
into the air.

carry your clubs for the fun of the

his powerful adversary even had he
been in the best condition, Police Sur.
geon Moore of ST. Paul last night
fought a desperate battle with a giant
raving maniac in swaying ambulance
Arrived at the city hospital, where
the patient was being taken, the driver
opened the door to find both combat
ants exhausted on the floor of the am
bulance.
Blood covered both, a stream coming
from an ugly wound in DR.. Moore's
hand, from which the maniac had bit
ten a large piece of flesh in the CORY
encounter.
Surgeon on Duty.
Late last night Dr. Moore was again
on Duty, but Henry Hartzmurcher, the
| maniac, is still in a critical condition
and it is feared that he will die from
the injury which brought On his violent
insanity
Hertzmucher, a teamster, was picked
up on Selby avenue, near Victoria, last
night at 10 p. m. He was unconscious
when found. Revived at the police sta
ton by Dr. Moore, he became raving
mailman. Several policemen were pow
erless before his furious assaults, back
ed by unnatural strength. 1t was
found necessary to chloroform him.
Unconscious again, from the effects
of the drug. Hertzmurcher was loaded
in the ambulance to be hurried to the
city hospital for the immediate treat.
ment he needed The jolting of the
wagon evidently restored his senses
Only a few blocks had been gone be-
fore he was on his feet again swinging
his long arms with terrific force.
Fight in Dark.
DR.. Moore, who is small man COM
pared with Hertzmurcher, tried to
quiet the mailman and the battle en-
sued The weak DR.. Moore would not
give in until his strength failed him
and he sank to the floor all but uncon-
scious, linked in embrace with the big
man, who was nearly as far gone.
How Hertzmurcher met his injury
has not been ascertained. 1t is
thought probable that he fell from the
wagon which he had been driving,
though a thorough examination may
prove some other cause. 1t is evident
that his skull is fractured and consid-
ering his actions last night little hope
for his recovery is entertained.

Gray Hair Wanted.

The hairdresser, as he bent the young
curl that is called the Marcel wave,
talked
"Of all the American ladies' he said,
"who wear false fronts of gray, not
one in a hundred has a front of real
human gray hair. Why? Because real
gray hair for fringes and wigs is as
rare a thing as Velasquez cartoon or
a Benvenuto Cellini silver mirror.
For one gramme of gold yeu will
pay francs, or 60 cents. For one
gramme of real gray hair that is natu
rally curly, you will pay Is francs, or
$500. The best gray hair is worth FIVE
times its weight in gold.
Real gray hair is not on the mar
ket. You can only buy it now and
then There is never enough of it to
keep the coiffeurs in stock
Il go to Italy every year or two, and
pay all my expenses, plus a profit, by
buying Italian gray hair.
Gray hair is less rare in Italy than
in other countries on account of the
converts. The inmates of converts
have their heads shaved, and all that
beautiful shorn hair is sold. Some of it
is gray. That l buy.
when, madam, you see an old lady
with fringe of real gray hair, be sure
she must be rich. Be sure that, in the
crude state, that frings cost about
$500 a gramme, and be sure that it
came from Italy, from the head of a
good woman"

He Did Once.

Tales of the siege of Paris during the
FrancO-Prussian war were revived by
recent events in Russia. One of these
yarns was as follows:
A much-loved collie dog had been
preserved by it's owner from the death
that befell all pets during that time of
starvation. There came at last a day,
however, when it, too, had to go, and
the sorrOwing but famished family met
heir pet for the last time in the soup
tureen. They ate in silence until moth
ing remained but heap of bones. Then
the master of the house, an absent
minded person, looked round in search
of something. and said with a sigh:
How poor old Rover would have en-
joyed those bones!"

from 10 to IL feet deep and could &C.
cOmOdate vessels which draw up to

saw the unusual stunt and capers of

were heartily enjoying the affair. AL
though the sun smiled warmly on the
disporting nymphs the water of Shil-
shole Bay was very. very cold, but
they did not confess to cold feet un-
til half hour had passed over While
all who witnessed the affair are a unit

general attractiveness, yet not one who
saw recognized either of them. What
Whim provoked such a diversion can
not be fathomed but there are sug-
gestions of a wager, while one opinion
holds that, inasmuch as they selected
a spot which is to be the site of a
bathing beach on which work will be
commenced next spring, the girls may
have been posing for pictures for re-
production in a prospectus of the COM
pany which will establish a resort
there. The man with the camera could
readily have been on the scene and yet
not in view of the curious.
