house for the afternoon, she always faced about,
before she reached the corner and waved back
gaily. But had ever seen her when she
called him to lunch, and nobody had ever seen him
when she waved her gay farewells Yet such ten

Puggy Kadash, from impressions CLEANED through
a knot-hole in the rear fence while the Gastineau
husband basked on the porch and from views or
the Gastneau wife at the moment OF her after
noon departure, was impelled to make startling
announ cement only a few days after the strang-

the other members of the Kadash family,who at
the time deep and somnoent in vast

His father looked at him sharply.

tapping his plate with his fork. "You cud dot

that tenacious sort which stronger with
opposition. More than ever did he believe that
the little man the back porch was also "a lady
yet" and that he married all NIT himself
The outlandishness of his conclusions did not
bother him. His fancy law unto itself.
One evening. a short time after the Gastineaus
coming he sat in the yard and made last
desultory effort to redeem dull, hot day. Some
attraction which had left him untouched, had
taken his playmates to the street and he was

Engineer Lennon Was Once Enjoined
by Judge Taft.

Toledo, Sept. Thames Lennon, a

ago, was one of the targets of the IA

road employees by Judge Taft. then
on the United States circuit bench,
but latter became a supporter of Taft,

which pulled the train bearing the
president from Toledo to Elkhart

Mr. Lennon. at the time of the Ann

railroad. When the order came from
Judge Taft requiring connecting
railroad companies and their en-
employees to handle all Ann Arbor
cars without discrimination" Lennon
was one of the first engineers to dis

Shortly after the injunction had
been issued Mr.. Lennon was ordered
to attach his locomotive to a string
of Ann Arbor cars and haul them to
their destination. Lennon fatty re-

Mr.. Lennon not only received his

Lennon was found guilty by the

MAY Die FROM HAZlNG
Maxwell Harrison Mistreated by High
school Classmates.

Cranston, r. L, Sept 18.-As the 70
suit of hazing by upper classmen at
the Edgewood high school. Maxwell
Harrison, IA years old, son of Rev.
Zachariah Harrison, pastor of the Sec
ond Free Baptist church, a freshman IN
the school, is so seriously injured that
he is not expected to live.
From the story of young Harrison 1t
appears that Tuesday night he was
waylaid by dozen hazers, who drag
ged him to the entrance of the air box
of the school furnace and showed him
in bodily. He fell about eight feet, and
as he fitted tightly inside the shaft ne
was unable to climb out.
Although suffering severe pains from
the injuries caused by his fall, he
crawled and wormed himself through
the long, dark air tunnel which passed
under the floor of the basement, only to
find himself finally up against the CRATE
of the burning furnace. Being unable
to turn around in the confined space,
he suffered terribly from the heat, until
the hazers finally were able to rescue
him.
Young Harrison was taken to his
home, and six stitches were taken to
close wounds in his right leg. The boy
then was sent to the Rhode Island hos
pitaL He is suffering from a broken
right leg, a badly lacerated kneecap,
and several burns, and it is feared that
gangrene may set in.

TO TEACH RALRoADNG.
University of Michigan Has Added
Novel Course to Curriculum.

The University of Michigan has an
nounced a special course in railway
administration to provide instruction
in four classes of students: First,
those who desire to enter any of the
business or administrative depart
ments of railway service. Second,
those who desire to enter the SER
vice of the federal or the state gov
ernmFsfs as Statisicians or economic
Investigations for railway commits
sions or other bureaus which have to
do with the administration. Third,
those who propose to undertake sta
tistical or appraisal work as a feature
of the business of banking or
brokerage. Fourth, those who desire
to attain as a part of general edu-i
cation a scholarly understanding of
that complex set of industrial and
governmental interests and activities
which make up what is known as the
transportation problem. The pro-
gram offered covers four lines of in
struction. 1. General course in
mathematics, physics, chemistry,
modern language, and rhetoric, and
in addition Is credit hours of general
elections. There is thus provided Sc
hours of instruction during the four
years residence of any student in
what may be termed non-technical
courses. 2. From the law depart
ment there have been selected certain
courses of especial significance to
students of transportation. 8. The
faculty of the engin eering department
