fare with the wagon careening and
sliding in a way that threatened at
every moment to throw the lone oc-
cupant from the wagon. Miss Flor
ence Phillipi, teacher of the school in
District No. 9S, was the lone occu-
pant and she was greeted as a real
heroine by the crowd which rushed
up when she had succeeded in stop
ping the horses.
The most fortunate part of the in
cident IL the fact that no damage
was done to wagon. horses or driver
although the latter admitted she was
"a little bit scared" by her exciting
ride. She was driving up Court
street, just off Main when one Of the
bolts with which the tongue was fas-
tened to the wagon broke. Immedi-
ately, the horses bolted but Miss
Phillip held gamely to the reins
Spectators were mortified and expect
ed momentarily to see the girl dash
ed to the hard pavement but she held
her seat bravely even though the
wagon swung from side to side and
several times threatened to turn
over AS they reached College street

wagon was whipcrackered around
them but still the plucky young teach

started off again over the same route
they had come but before they hat

sidewalk Not until then did Mis-:

BIRD SLAUGHTER KEEPS UP.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The destruc-
ton of the osprey and other beauti-
full birds continues unchecked. as the
latest returns of the London plume
sales prove. OF osprey feathers. H.
es9- ounces were sold. and the fear
that this bird is being exterminated
gradually in the cruelest fashion Is
borne out by the high prices paid for
the feathers.
In all 3206 birds of paradise were
sold. many of these coming from Brit
ish possessions. The same may be
said of the crowned pigeons, parrots
and macaws, kingfishers and white
cranes. In fact. Africa is being ram
sacked by the plume hunters. who
recklessly kill the birds that destroy
the tsetse and other dangerous flies.
The trade with India and the Col
onies still continues. and 1t is clear
that no law forbidding the exporta-
ton of plumes is of much avail while
the London market is open to the
plume trade
