CAUGHT IN LINE SHAFT
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

To escape serious If not fatal in
juries by being caught on al line
shaft was the experience Wednes-
day forenoon of William A.. Hongh-
ton at the elevator of +. Nj. Hough-
ton & Co. Mr.. Houghton climbed
up to adjust some of the machinery
while the engine was running and
in SO doing had one of his pant legs
caught in a set screw and but for
his presence of mind would have
been wound around the shaft He
grabbed beam and was able to
hold himself until the engine could
be stopped. His right leg was bad
ly bruised and cut and would not
have withstood the pressure much
longer without breaking. His cloih-
ing was also partially torn Oft and
taken altogether his escape was
most miraculous.

Oh! how | wish again to be once
more in Michigan; to hear the
frozen snow birds sing in the icy
air of spring; TO see one lonesome
flower blush in its mantle of dirt
and slush; to sit and sneeze and
cough and wheeze in the. enervating
breeze; 10 stand ashore and freeze
and quake and watch the ice form
on the lake. One day the snowy
air is raw, next day quite en-
trancing thaw. But best of all, I
love at night to close the house
up all air tight and round the
stove TO form ring. Oh, How
love the Eastern spring!
In California all this while, all
vegetation has grown mile, aryl
the flowers boom and grow where
should be some exquisite snow.
The dust and fleas are far from
