Accident on Vinewod Loop That Might
Have Been Serious.

While rounding the curve forming a
loop at the Vinewood end of the street
railway last night about ten o'cIock
one motor and two trailers left the
rails and spread their forms over te1e
right of way. The motor jumped the
track at the curve and before it could
pc stopped it had bumped along the
ties, pulled the other cars from the
track and had thrown itself across the
rails No one was hurt.
The cars were going at slow rate Ct
speed when the accident happened or 1t
would have undoubtedly been serious.
The cars were crowded to the boards
and although passengers were severely
shaken up there were no injuries re-
ceiVed. The most dangerous place was
the front seat of the first trailer-this
car damned into the motor, the cofs
crashing together.
The accident delayed traffic on the
main line and It was necessary to prs

One of First of the New Lincoln
Issue.

Governor Stubs has received from
S. D. Faust of the government mint at
Philadelphia one of the new Lincoln
pennies which have just been issued
and which were called in the day altar
their appearance on account of an OBJ
jectionable feature.
It seems that the designer of the
penny thought he was drawing a car
toon and signed his initials just below
the United States of America" on the
tall side of the penny. This was not
discovered until the mint had stamped
a great number of the coins and they
were turned out. Mr.. Faust of the
Philadelphia mint sent this penny to
Governor Stubs and stated that it w5s
the only one that would ever visit the
west. but there are already several in
Kansas.
A new die will have to be made for
this Lincoln penny and the govern
ment will offer a reward for the return
of all the pennies circulated. The de-
signer. Victor D. Bremen of New .S$ork,

oh Abused Woman.

Yours in a hard lot indeed, oh,
woman.
1t is not necessary nowadays for a
brainy woman to advertise her
cleverness by wearing her belt badly.
Above everything else in the world
a woman admires moral courage in a
man, but her knowledge Of anatomy
is so hazy that she thinks broad
shoulders or big bieeps may be the
seat OF the moral virtues.
When a woman turns over the
leaves of the book of love she never
places a bookmark in il, but rather
enjoys beginning anew each time.
A woman can manage TO keep her
love a secret. but never her hate.
Nothing Is more painful to wom-
an than when she reaches the conclu-
sion that she IS no longer dangerous.
Men continually study women, and
know nothing about them; women
never study men, and know them all.
