ton. To these succeeded the street
railroad, traversed by cars drawn by
one or more horses, and these in turn
became wholly inadequate to meet the
demand Of the suburban districts.
The cable car, drawn by underground
cable. was the next innovation, but
this about 1880 to 1890 was supplanted
by the electric trolley lines, and these
again were supplemented in many cit
les by elevated and subway lines in
which the cars were propelled by cleo
tricity supplied by a third rail. This
latter device has already been applied
to extended lines of railroads, and 1t

''that I've done your house no harm.
Besides. I saw the elephant stop here
only yesterday and scratch his back

almost overturned it. And you didn't
say word to him. Why should there
be any difference in your treatment OF

The wolf licked his chops.
"There is q marked difference" he

IT WASN'T DOC.

A tall man carrying a black bag
and a shorter man met in the trac.
ton station the other day. The tall
man was in a hurry, but when the
short man blocked him, expanded
his face into a genial smile and ex-
tended broad palm, he grasped il
and shook while impotence came to
his face. The short man began
''Hello, Doc"
"Yes-I would be glad to see you,
but Pm not the man you think I am.
Yes-yes, l look like him-I know
I'm his double. Every time I come
to Indianapolis I meet a dozen or
more of his friends, and they think
Pm him. But Pm not. Sorry
good-by. I'd stop and explain, but

And he was gone, leaving the short
man with the bewildered look on his
face and his hand sticking out where
the man who wasn't Doc had left it.

QUAINT WEDDING CUSTOMS.

An old custom directs that the
bride, on being conducted to he1
room, shall remove her shoe and
throw it among the bystanders.
1t goes on to declare that the
catcher of the shoe will soon be mar
ried happily.
There was also an old superstition
that for a bride to have good fortune
she must enter the house under two
drawn swords.
An unpleasant superstition de-
clared that whoever should walk un-
der a ladder would not be married
that year.
There was at one time a curious
superstition that if the youngest
daughter of a family should marry
before her elder sisters they must all
dance at her wedding without shoes.
This precaution would in the end
procure for them husbands.

the villain led her to lonely cave
