Clothing Wound Around
Car Wheels; Man Unhurt

BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. $50 tangled
I'D with two trolley cars, moving in op-
posite directions, was William Ellis,
twenty-five, of 936 Sycamore avenue this
morning that it took ten minutes work
to get him free from the car wheels,
around which his clothes were wound,
yet he was not dangerously hurt.
He alighted from a car in front of st.
Stanislaus Church, and crossing around
the front of the car, was caught be-
tween the one he had left and a car
coming from the opposite direction. The
space was too narrow for him to clear
both, and he was rolled around and then
hurled tC the ground and his clothes
caught in the wheels, before both cars
stopped.

to thwart Colonel Goethals' will

by executive order, and claims that con-
sequently civil rights. such as are
known in the states. rights which the
courts are instituted to protect, are de
pendent not on the courts, but on the
orders of the President.

Lay the frames on the floor and tack
the cretonne on each Of them, folding
the material over each end and the

HANDLES TEMPER.


eorety Tried by Joker VINO Knew the
Composers Weakness.
The celebrated composer Handel had
such a remarkable irritation of nerves
that he could not bear to hear the tun-
ing Of instruments, and therefore this
was always done before he arrived at
the theater.
A musical wag who knew how to
extract some mirth from Handel's
Feasibility Of temper stole into the
orchestra on night when the Prince
OF Wales was to be present and I'M
tuned all the instruments. AS soon
as the prince arrived Handel gave the
signal Of beginning, con spirito, but
such was the horrible discord that the
enraged musician started up from his
seat, and, having overturned double
bass, which stood in his way, he seized
a kettledrum, which he threw with
such violence at the leader of the band
that he lost his full bottomed wig In
the effort.
Without waiting to replace it he
advanced bareheaded to the front of
the orchestra. breathing vengeance,
but so much choked with passion that
utterance was denied him In this
ridiculous attitude he stood staring
and stamping for some moments
amid a CONFUSION Of laughter, nor
could he be prevailed upon to resume
his seat until the prince went in per-
son and appeased his wrath.
Monkeys and Gum.
In tropical countries the natives have
many unique ways Of catching mon
keys. One of them, as explained by
O traveller. Is this: The hunters walk
about in short boots In sight Of the
monkeys Then they take the boots
OF, place some gum in the bottoms and
leave them ON the ground. withdraw
ing themselves to a great distance.
Presently the monkeys come down
from the trees and fry on the boots.
and when the hunters come after
them the boots stick TO the feet of the
monkeys and they are unable to climb.
Thus the initiative little animals are
captured
