Saved By a Woman.

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-Frank Gillian,
an attendant at the Children's
Museum, Brooklyn, is back at work
after six weeks in a hospital with the
knowledge that he owes his life to
the promptness and bravery of Miss
Mary Day Lee, formerly of Rich
mond.
Six weeks ago Gillian was cleaning
out the cage which is occupied by
the Gila monster, in the museum,
when the venomous reptile bit him.
It's teeth were buried deep in Gil
lian's hand, and he was forced to
pry its jaws apart. Gillian at once
bathed his hand in alcohol, and. then
Miss Lee lacerated the hand with a
sharp knife, and applying her lips to
the wound, sucked out the poison.
In spite of her prompt action Gil
lian's hand at once began to swell
and he was rushed to a hospital,
where he was forced to remain for
six weeks.
The bite of the ella monster is
usually deadly. and the surgeons say
it was only Miss Lees promptness
that saved his life. Now the Gila
monster is dying, not from the ef-
fects of the bite, but because it can
not stand the cold north winter.

darling, dancing leaves that have SO

the sunbeams and the raindrops and

'But the leaves don't seem to mind

''They don't know any BETTER" said
the blue doc. '"That makes it all the
worse, you know. They are so glad to
get down from the tree, and they
think they are going to be free. The

them because they have to stay fas-

they were over in the woods hunting
for nuts one Saturday.
Jack lay on his back underneath q

Crookedest Railroad in World.

Grading is in progress in East Los
Angeles for the crookedest railroad
in the world. Compared with it the
famous Mount Tamrlpais road, ,
which now has the squirming record,
is as straight as a Mexican's hair.
It will take two miles of track to
cover a stretch not more than three
blocks running north and south, and
not more than that running east and
west. 1t is claimed by engineers
that there will not be a singlestraight
rail in the two miles of track; every
one will be curved. The road de-
signed as an extension to the Griffin
avenue street railroad line, and will
open up for residence the highest
tract of land in the city.

at him, rubbing his head. "They fell

Then a nut hit Jack right bang in

up in the branches Of the hickory.

in longitudinal line against a horizontal
