the hog because you moved overI
After the lady had climbed over you
she would have kept on to the other
end of the bench where now there is
nothing but sullen space"
l began to insult myself.
Peter" | exclaimed inwardly,
what do you know about the etiquette
of the street car? According to the
newspapers it is only a man who can
be hog on the street cars, and since
you are the original cause of blockad-
ing the port when you moved over.
you must be the hogi"
Then I got so mad at myself that
1 refused to talk to myself any further.
The next day was riding downtown
on the end seat with my mind made
up to stay there and keep the harbor
open for commerce.
Never" / said to myself, never
will any one become a human Merri-
mac to bottle up the seating capacity
of this particular bench while the
blood flows through these veins and
the flag of freedom waves above me-"
At the next corner very thin little
gentleman squeezed by me with look
of reproach on his face the like of
which hope never to see again, but
was Charles J. Glue and firm in the
end seat.
Then couple of Italy's sunny sons
by the names of Microbeini and Germi-
eide crawled over me and kicked their
initials on my knee-cap and then sat
down to enjoy a smoke of domestic
rope which fell across my nostrils and
remained there in bitterness.
After I had been stepped on, sat on,
clawed at and scowled at for twenty
minutes, began to discuss myself to
myself.
peter" I whispered, do you really
think that the general public apprec-
iates your efforts to keep the harbor
open?"
And then myself replied to myself
with a sigh of exhaustion: 81 don't
Think"
Peter" I said to myself, mo mat
ter what your motives may be, the
other fellow will always believe you
are trying to get the best Of it. II
you move over and give the end seat
to another gentleman he will consider
it only what is his right. If you don't
move over he will think you are hog
for keeping that which is as much
yours as his"
I began to grow confidential with
myself.

ORIGIN Of scotIand's Motto.

1t was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deviated from their usual rule.
On they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting Scotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm. The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss Of
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune lacessit. mo one provokes me
with impunity."

One of the greatest triumphs of
Lydia E. Pinkhaln's Vegetable Com
pound is the conquering of woman's
dread enemy Tumor,
The growth of tumor is SO in
sidious that frequently its presence
is wholly unsupported until it is well
advanced.
So called wandering pains" may
come from it's early stages or the
presence of danger may be made
manifest by excessive monthly periods
accompanied by unusual pain, from
the abdomen through the groin and
thigh.
If you have mysterious pains, it
there are indications of Inflammation
or disbursements, secure bottle of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, made from native roots and
herbs, right away and begin its use.
The following letters should con-
vince every suffering woman OF its
virtue, and that it actually does
conquer tumors.
Mrs. May Fry, Of $40 W. Colfax
Ave. South Bend, Ind, writes J:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham -
ST take great pleasure in writ
ing to thank you for what Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
done for me- 1 also took the Blood
Purifier in alternate doses with the
Compound. Your medicine removed a
cyst tumor of four years growth,
which three of the best physicians
declared I had. They had said that
only an operation could help me. | am
very thankful that followed friends
advice and took your medicine. 1t has
made me strong and well woman and
/ shall recommend it as long as l live"
Mrs. E. F. Hayes, of 20 Ruggles ST.,
Boston, Mass, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Ihave been under different doctors
treatment for a long time without
relief. They told me had a fibroid
tumor, my abdomen was swollen and

to you for advice, you replied and
followed your directions carefully and
today am well women. Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ex-
PEELED the tumor and strengthened my

"Naw, We Don't Take No Transfers"

street car proposition known as the
End-Seat Hog.

subject.

when it stopped, glance carelessly fore

vacant seats in our direction, and then
they would see the stout lady sitting
there, as graceful as the sunken ships
which used to block the harbor at Port
Arthur.
The people would look at the stout

For SAVING Life at Sea.

An apparatus for life saving at sea
has been invented by Mr.. r. Lavach-
cry, a Belgian engineer residing at
Chapultepec, Mex. It consists of a
rified cannon from which a projectile
is fired; to the projectile are at
tached a cable, an anchor and a
rocket. The mechanism is said to be
very simple, and for humanitarian rea-
sons the inventor has not patented it.

Transmission of Warts,

Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are COM
municable is warranted" says a
writer. 'Inoculation of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of similar ex-
crescence. It is thought that these
growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is due the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events, persons who have warts should
take measures to have them removed
at once"

New Method of Cutting Steel.

A new method of cutting steel is
said to have been patented by a Bel
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means of
an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut
ting it by small stream of oxygen
gas, which unites with the steel and
forms fusible oxide, which flows
freely from the cut. 1t is said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that
made by the saw, and is only HOO

|S CRUSHED TO DEATH IN HE
 RAILROAD
Mexican Caught Between Beams of Car and Engine Tender Is Picked Up in Less Than Minute LifeIeSS,

Crushed to death between an engine and a heavy steel ore car on the rail- road line running past the Shattuck- Arizona tramway terminal last night was the horrible fate of Pedro Vas quez, a machinist's helper in the en- plOy of the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad. A man named Mckay. en- plOyed as a car repairer at the local shops, narrowly escaped a similar fate by stepping out of the way in time.
 Yesterday morning a piece of the rim on one aOf the wheels on engine No. was broken off, and the locomo- tive was ordered to the shops for re- pairs. W. J. Spaulding, foreman of the mechanical department in the local yards, worked on the break at Osborne, getting it into such condition that it might be possible to run to the Copper Queen machine shops at Sacramento Hill, where the permanent repairs were to be made. Last even- ing about s o'clock Spaulding started up the hill with the engine, Mckay and Vasquez, standing on the run board at the end Of the oil tank. The engine was backing up the hill. and nothing could be seen until suddenly out of the darkness a string of cars loomed up directly ahead, and at that instant Mckay jumped to the side.
 The engine was running about four miles an hour, on grade Of abom l per ceIF M it's 1aT0T, wh5a =1i11=s / S> 7S> cars WeffS struck and pushed PEiisshisEedd the string 9 about tWenty feet. As soon IS he saw, the/cars ahead Spaulding threw on the brakes, but not in time to keep from pumping. AS soon as the locomo- tive was stopped Spaulding ran ahead to see the extent of the damage, and was mortified to find the body of Vas Quez, crushed between The steel beams, which struck him in the back and chest, and must have crushed the life out of him in less than a second.
 Mckay caught up with the engine, and after the locomotive was backed up helped disengage the body.
 Coroner Hogan was called at once, and summoning a jury, went to the scene of the accident. After viewing the remains the inquest was adjourned until today.
 Vasquez was about 30 years of age, and belonged in Douglas. where he bore a reputation as first class work man.

~*The MOMENTS TOGGERY~*
LOCAL TEAM LOSES
 IN HOSE CART RAGE
Cosmopolitan Aggregation Representing BiSbee Fails by a Margin of 5 Points,

In the smelter city yesterday the Douglas City hose Lean. was the vic tor in the race, ther Cnly COmpetI tors being a combination team made up from Bisbee Tombstone, and the Douglas smelter team. The winners carried of the hOnors handily, having a leed-way of more than five seconds to their Crdit.
 On account of the showing made by the Bisbee team in the Fourth of July celebration, the local team was a fa- -Yorite up until the time it was learned the racing team would not be con- posed of the same members as on in dependence day, and the odds fell to even money. if anything Douglas be ing a slight favoTite The smelter city team showed the effects of long prac- tice in their effective work running the distance in ClOck-wOrk fashion, and getting water without the slightest de lay.
 The Bisbee team ran second, and was unfortunate for the want of prac- tice, several members of the team never having run with others. But even at this disadvantage a showing of 30 seconds flat was made as against the 25 2.5 of Douglas.
 An unfortunate incident of the race was the injury to one of the Bisbee runners, William Truax, Jr., who at first was thought to have been seri- ously hurt as the result of a fall, but it was afterwards found that although the hose cart had run over him. the only injury which he sustained was the loss of few inches of flesh from one of his shins.
