driver, braced with all his might
against the seat had lost control of
the reins.
AS the wagon zigzagged about the
street in between the leopard cages
and a street car and over against the
curb there was a wild scattering of
the crowds that lined the sidewalk.
Judge Huffman and his two little
children, who We're watching the pro-
cession, had a narrow escape from the
flying hoofs and wheels.
At this point in the runaway, a
thrill of admiration shot through
every breast as a blue coated figure
shot into the air and seized the near
est horse in an iron grip which could
not be shaken off and Private Bur
loughs, realizing the women and chill
dren on the left side of the street
were in imminent danger, put forth
every endeavor to veer the runaway
to the opposite side.
In this he was successful but he
almost paid for his act of bravery
with his life as the team ran into
an iron lamp post in front of Pauly's
cigar store. So great was the mo-
mentum the rear wheel next the curb
was broken completely off the axle
and the tongue and front part of the
heavy vehicle was shivered to bits.
All the time the horses were rum
ming, one of them was fastened to a
heavy hitching iron and although at
tached to this by a curbed bit ana
strap the horses were so badly fright
ened the weight was of no use IN
checking them.
The driver of the steam demon
either did not see the results OF the
ear-splitting shrieks his big planola
was giving out or else he didn't care, as
he kept on going.

PREFERS BEING A PRISONER.

General Josiah Pickett, one of the best known military men in Worcester, who has been confined to his home for about year. observed his S5th birth day the other day He was visited by many of his friends, and received flow CTS from various organizations with which he is connected His physical condition is critical, and during the last six months his death has been ex-. pected at almost any time.
 General Pickett claims the distinc- ton of being the only officer of the Civil War still under military arrest. The incident took place before the battle of Cold Harbor, Colonel Pickett being in charge of the 18th Massa- chusetts Regiment The questioning by him of orders issued by General Stannard, in command of the brigade of which the Massachusetts regiment was a part, resulted in Colonel Pickett being placed under arrest. He went into the battle, however, and distin- guished himself, so that he was rec commended for promotion by the off, cer who ordered him under arrest
 The incident of the arrest was for gotten, and although Senator Hoar during his lifetime had offered to have a special act introduced into congress to relieve him of this arrest General Pickett declined, preferring to die military prisoner.-Worcest dispatch to Boston Herald.

REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Waterbury Boy Successfully Under
 goes Terrible Ordeal.


 A remarkable operation has just been performed with apparent success upon Walter Seery, of Waterbury, at St. Luke's hospital. New York. The fact that there is every reason to believe that the young man will recover makes the operation seem the more to be wondered at.
 Three years ago, on Christmas day 1904 young Seery was hurt while coasting at Waterville, His skull was badly fractured, as a result of which a great many small bits of bone worked their way between his brain and skull in such a way as to almost double the thickness of the latter. In the front, right over the boys right eye, an op- ening more than two inches in size was made at the time of the accident. In and about this opening a membrane grew in such way as to protrude over and close the right eye.
 At the hospital SatuNday afternoon, when the operation was performed, the boy was kept on the operating table for more than three hours while the membrane was cut away, the small pieces of loose bone taken out and the brain pushed back into its true place so that a silver plate could be put in the opening in front,
 The physicians were Dr. Curtis, Dr. Holland. Dr. Oatman and Dr. Doug lass, all of New York and Dr. O'Leary of waterbury.

 Evades Thanksgiving AK.
 One gobbler holds an enviable posi- tion in St Louis and is ungobbled, says the St. Louis Republic.
 The turkey who is more fortunate than the other beaux and bellies of Turkeydom is in the bird cage at For est Park. He is a shrewd fellow, and doubtless is old enough for wisdom teeth-but turkeys don't grow teeth at all.
 He seemed to be in an attitude of giving thanks, His head was bowed, and he did not strut with the pride that goes before downfall, but was quite unpretentious and putting on no airs.
 The park watchman at the bird cage insists that the turkey is the most knowin bird he ever saw. That bird came out here just about this time three years ago and seemed to peck away at the screen of the cage, trying to get inside.
 He seemed to say that he wanted to get lHi LHdI uo kHSW llo VI po SoAO there. from a Thanksgiving platter We'll, sir, I like intelligence in an ari- nal or bird, and I let him in, and about this time every year he gets as affectlonate and tender to me, that, say, honest, I wouldn't have the nerve to kill him off now.
 'No, sir; that birds intelligence has made it immune-is that what you call it?
 You know, I've got so love all the creatures around here, being here so iong, and just this one thing has made me quit eating Thanksgiving dinner of turkey. And each year since have loked into the cage on Thanksgiving Day, and when see that bird pecking away at the corn feed him just t kind of think maybe that's the only real Thanksgiving dinner there is in towh."

IMPROVING LIVE STOCK.

Shortly after a new administration took hold of a well-lyn )wn Southern railroad great number of claims were preferred against the company on account of horses ana cattle being killed along the line n Kentucky. To make matters worse, 1t appeared that every animal killed, however worth less it may have been before inc &C., cident invariably figured in the claims subsequently presented as being of tao best blood in Kentucky.
 One day, in conversation with one of the roads attorneys, the president became very much excited in referring to the situation. DO you know he exclaimed, bringing down his fist on the desk, by way of emphasis, T have reached the conclusion that nothing in Kentucky so improves live stock as crossing 1t with a locomotive.

STOLE GENEROUSLY
Schoolboy Charged With Tax ing Five Bank Books
 and $110.

One of the biggest theft charges that has been laid to mere boy in years is that which Abraham Rules ky will have to face this morning in the city court. He is accused of steal- ing s1109o in cash, five bank books, all containing good sized sums, and mortgage note for $400, all of which is the property of Louis Cohen of 1S1 Lafayette street. The Kulesky lad is school boy aged thirteen years and lives at 36 White street He formerly resided on Palmer street, which is near Cohen's house, and at that time it is said became acquainted with Cohen, who is a painter and decorator. On Thanksgiving day, according to the allegation, Kulesky entered the house of Cohen all unknown to any one, and abstracted the above named articles.
 Suspicion was attracted to the lang by the fact that he was spending money among his school mates to a lavish and, to them, perfectly wonder ful extent. All the articles have been recovered except one bank book, the note and $25 in cash by Detective Me Avoy who made the arrest yesterday

If we could get a few hundred 1t would do much, de- spite the fact that some people think that many thousands of pounds are necessary. If we could get some one to risk the money, we should soon have a good practical machine. There is no hope of the government doing that. they do not like risking the money, be- cause there is chance that they may spend thousands and get no result. At the same time, I do not say they are spending nothing that way now, be- cause small experiments are going on which may have important conse- quences.
