Speculation in Horse and Buggy.

as he took seat IN the studio and
helped himself to q corncobful Of to-
bacco.
And what ails him ~ asked Red
Bruce, who was making scrawls with
q stick OF charcoal on q piece Of
coarse paper.
We'll, It was this way: wicky he
got hold OF some money last satur-
day. Got complete outfit Of clothes
and then started to get an inf1t. He
got It all right and took 1t home with
him some time Sunday night.
Monday morning he woke up and
searched himself carefully. Found a
twenty-case note tucked away in the
fob pocket Of his trousers and made
bee line for Plunkitts, where he
broke it some. After half an hour he
was feeling fine and concluded to go
downtown and see If there was any
thing doing.
"He rode a couple of blocks on the
back platform of a car when he hap
pened to see an old buggy standing in
| front of a junkshop with For Sale
on it.
"tstop the car, says Wicky, and
jumped off.
Now, Wtcky never owned horse

to have that particular vehicle.
How much do you want for it?'
he asked the junkman.
""Ten dollars
Give you five
Take it along
''Wicky coughed up the five-specker.
At sales stable he knew about he
bought pretty good looking old skate
for abut $3.50, with the bride at
tached.
"a light secondhand harness cost
him 81. Thus equipped, he started off
in great shape. The whole caravan
cost him about SIS, including drinks.
He was down to fish scales when
he got. through and it worried him
some, but he knew of roadhouse
just out of town where he could al
ways make a touch, so he started to
go out there. Wicky wasn't much on
the drive and the horse soon found
it out and had pretty much his own
way.
"He was going along at pretty
good clip on the river road when a
trolley car turner a corner suddenly
and scared him SO that he stopped
still. The car hit the buggy and the
horse at the same time and Wicky
fell through the vestibule into the
front platform Of the car, knocking
the motorman through the door.
The horse went into the ditch with
both hind legs broken and the buggy
was knocked to flinders. Wicky lay
where he fell until they fetched an
ambulance and took him to his board
ing place.
They killed the horse and carted it
away and burned the ruins of the
buggy, but before this was done there
was an Investigator from the trolley
company sitting on the side Of
Wicky's bed with a piece Of paper
and fountain pen in his hand. He
signed release for $500.
HE asked the man for twenty-five,
meaning dollars, but the man must
have thought he meant hundreds and
dickered until he cut him down to
three of 'em. Hurt? Well, yes.

on the wrist and a cut chin, but he'll

detailed in Cuba for some years. It
was he who brought the guardia ru-
rale in that country UP to a point Of
efficiency, so that the island is safer
now than ever before.
He and his guard have been very
keen after the persons who plot in.
surrection, and as a result the few
remaining recalcitrants have had
miserable time of it recently.
Some one commented upon the fact
that there were no more parties OF
revolutionists to be seen about the
cafes in Havana talking blood and
drinking coffee.

WAR IS FEARED
BY THE PRESIDENT
HE ADVISES THAT EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE BE DONE TO REMOVE
FRICTION WITH JAPAN.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The gravity OF
the situation between the United
States and Japan has not been over
drawn, according 10 members of the
California delegation, who were pres
ent at the White House conference
over the matter Wednesday,.
It is said the president said the
States must remove Immediately all
causes for friction between the gox-
ernments. =
THE Japan-San Francisco school
question must be disposed of before a
court decision, if possible" he is re
ported to have told the delegates.
That war with Japan would not be
anything like the conflict with Spain;
the Japanese have resources, and are
proud and will not wait for diplomacy.
We must avoid a rupture If possible,
If diplomacy can do it."
The presidents views surprised the
delegates, and members wired resi-
dents in California to use every effort
to discontinue the anti-Japanese agi-
tation.
