A Street Tragedy With Cream PuHs Mixed In

NEVER run after a street car; nine
IN times out of ten you don't over
take it, and, besides. another will come
along some time.
A woman in a linen dress and a
great hurry rushed along the south
side OF the avenue, waving franti-
cally at a car going south. She had
only one bundle in her hands, but she
handled 1t rather gingerly, and as 1t
was something in sack, she grasped
It around the top, much as darky
;s supposed TO hold a chicken " the
neck. She sprinted across the walk
paying little or no attention to any
thing but the car, and as she reached
the curb she miscalculated the step,
stumbled and fell. It wasn't one of
those knee-drill falls they teach with
the Delsarte style Of stunts. but a
fall, pure and simple.
She fell on the bag.
Cream pufs are rather tempting
looking and decidedly tasty, when
properly handled, but connoisse1rs
and epicures alike are agreed that
Ghey ought never to be sat upon, much
