RArrLEs COW TO BUY LEG.
Ingenious Scheme of Man Disabled
by a Train.

II there is more than one way to
skin a cat there is certainly more
than one way in which to acquire
cork leg The usual way is 10 earn
money and buy 1t, says the New
York World The way adopted by
julius Thorne, who lives at Glens
Falls, is to let COW raise herself
and then rattle her off for a leg.
Thorne was hit by railroad train
about a year ago, and when the doc
tors cut off his left leg. disease OF
the bone set in. The injured man
was taken home, where, while he
lay on his back waiting for the bone
to heal, he cast about for some means
whereby he could procure a cork leg.
Being supplied with little in the way
of the worlds goods, Thorn was
forced to use his ingenuity. From
neighbor he bought for couple or
dollars sickly calf less than month
old. This he raised on skinned milk
provided by another neighbor who
made his own butter, and in time the
calf got strong enough to be turned
out 90 pasture. Grazing around cost
little. and while the calf was growing
and fattening Thorne made baskets
that he might have enough cash 10
winter the animal. By fall he had
earned enough to more than do this.
and recently he started rattle. All
his friends took tickets. and when the
drawing takes place Thorne will cele-
brate by wearing his new cork leg.

Hey, Werner, good lad, do not STAY

For even while he spoke Joan had
dismounted and was holding Conrad's
head on her lap. With the soft white
kerchief which she wore on her helm
as favor she wiped the wound on his
head. 1t was long, but did not appear
to be very deep.
Werner stood astonished, gazing at
his mistress.

So Werner Won Orseln lifted the
head and Boris the feet. bearing him
tenderly that they might set him upon
Joan's horse. On either side walked
tall Boris and sturdy Werner, who
steadied the unconscious Prince with
the palms of their hands.
Meanwhile the Palace Guard, with
Jorian at its head, defended the slow
retreat. while on the tanks Maurice
and his staunch Kernsbergers checked
the victorious advance of the Musco-
vites. Yet the disaster was complete.
They left the dead, they left the camp,
they left the munitions of war. They
abandoned the Margraf's cannon and
all his great store of powder.
Only the Kernbergers bit their lips
and watched the eye of Maurice, by
whose side a slim page in chain-mail
had ridden all day with visor down.
And the men of the Palace Guard pray
ed for Prince Hugo to come.
As for Joan, she cared nothing for
victory or defeat, loss or gain, because

bleeding and very still.

CHINA NOT TO BE
A YELOLW PERIL

IN an interesting address delivered be-
fore the Unitarian club last evening DR..
Charles ID. Tenney OF China spoke in a
general way In regard to that Oriental
land. owing TO the Doctors long resi-
dene in China, his knowledge OF condi-
tions there is unlimited. Last evening he
said in part:
Now that the government and the
scholars have united TO bring about re-
form. you may be sure that the parlie-
ment which will be established Will be
made up OF Chinese literau and 1t will
rule China, as no emperor Will dare say
anything against the scholars. This Will
free China from the danger of mob rule,
as the Chinese would never dream of Civ
ing the right OF suffrage To an uncducated
man. She will never be the yellow peril
that some people seem To think,
China Is now approaching the great
est crisis in her history. Scholars who
have hitherto stood for conservatism
have now come over TO the refoTmers. and
the transformation of the nation will be
more rapid and much more sound than
that of Japan

Mr.. Peabody says that his stand on
the liquor question in Westerly was well

OUTSIDE ROADS
TAKE BUSINESS
FROM NEW HAVEN

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 93--There are
at present in use upon the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad sys-
TEN about 20,0oO foreign cars per day
upon an average. which is somewhat OF
a decrease of the average In the earlier
part OF the year.
This indicates that to some extent the
outside roads have been diverting busi-
ness from the New Haven system. which
is further indicated by the congestion of
freight upon the Boston and Albany and
the Boston and Maine systems.
A high officer of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad company
confirms this diversion OF freight. but
says that ii is not serious in amount.
He further states that owing 10 the con-
gestion on tho Boston and Albany the
New York Central its lessee. has been
forced TO turn upon the New Haven sys-
TEN 100 carloads daily, thus making up
largely for any freigla diverted by other
roads.
The New Haven company withdrew on
the lst of last October from the Ameri-
can Railway association, and the dispute
between II and the outside roads upon
the new crarge of 30 cents per diem not
having been settled all payments to the
outside roads have been withheld TO the
extent OF nearly $250,Oco a month, and
now. amount to several hundred thousand
dollars.
This has created a situation which of
late has become very acute indeed, and
it now can be stated authoritatively that
the matter is likely to be settled within
short time. probably i'm the form OF a
compromise agreement on a basis OF 81
cents per car In place OF the 20 cents
per diem established by the American
Railway association.
, This would result i'm a saving TO the
New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company Of about $1,000 a day.
or about $l,0o0.OO0 a year, in demurrage
charges. providing all the connecting rail-
road companies assent.
