warning cry and leaped to the ground.
AS he did so the great bulk Of lumber
swayed and toppled over. Hueselmans
was buried beneath the mass and wss
instantly killed. Bissell, by his leap,
avoided the crumbling pile and landed
just beyond the timbers. The fall.
however, resulted in his receiving nu-
merous fractures and he was removed
In critical condition to st. Michaels
hospital
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas
sengers, many of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. 1t was
half an hour before Hueselmans
mangled body was extricated.

the only raw vegetable you were not

grounds for the assertion; but / have

"One of our well-known men in the

very large man, and looks very smart
in his suit of blue.
'If he sees boy who ought to be
at school, he tries to catch him and
take him to school, where he is pun

His duties are many. At night he
walks quietly down the streets in case
there are any robbers. He
carries lamp about with him to see
where the robber escapes. If the rob-
