VANISHES; MILK NEAR KILLS
Zenophon Hebert Does a Sudden Dis
appearance Act In Street Of
Chicago.

Chicago.-Zenophon Hebert drove
slowly along st. Lawrence avenue
here. Zenophon is driver of milk
wagon. He was driving slowly. Sud-
denly the street opened beneath the
horses feet and the whole combina-
ton disappeared from sight. People
who were on the street at the time
stared aghast.
Nov you see 1t and now you don't"
they reasoned vaguely. WAS it q
phantom milk wagon, or what?"
Then they heard faint cry-the
cry of a man who seemed 10 be drown
ing. 1t was the voice of Zenophon and
he was drowning in the
milk and cream that had been intrust-
ed to his care. The bystanders ran in
to the street and found that a large
section of the pavement had caved in.
In the pit thus created 20 feet down
lay the milk wagon. The horse was
sitting on top of it gasping helpiessly
and kicking the wagon and several
hundreds of bottles filed with milk in
to small bits. OF Zenophon nothing
at all could be seen.
Then came a glass crash Of more
than usual violence and from the up
tilted end OF the milk cart protruded
the surprised face of the driver, drip
ping with milk from chin TO eye
brows. He climbed steadily and cour-
ageously until the hands OF the by
ISLANDERS clasped his aud he was drag
ged to the edge of the pit
The police and fire department were
called in and in an hour or so the wag-
on and horse were dra wn TO the sur
face. The milk was Ill spilled. but
Zenophon refused TO cry over it
It's all in the days work." he said.

Modern History of Classic Ground.

There is quite a classical flavor
about the place where Greeks and Bull
garians have been coming into con-
fiict in the neutral zone established
between them.
Here, Baccbus, the god of wine, is
said to have avenged himself on the
Thracian King Lycurgus, who had
banished him and his worship by driv-
ing the king mad, so that he cut off
his own legs, thinking they were vine
branches, and was torn to pieces by
his subjects, who wanted to have
Bacchus again. Seated on his noun
tain Orpheus charmed the trees and
beasts.

Spartans struggled (Thucydides was

In 1857 Denver's turn came again,

spirited citizens to raise funds for
more pretentious quarters. In that
year a lot of land presented by Mr..

Brown, Disguised at the delay, at

| have four of these problems to
solve.
|. Lighting Fixtures. This
wourld be no problem if all cities
had the progressive Mayor
Fitzgerald has. see our beautiful
White Way, not necessarily to
copy it, improve on it, many
firms are putting out different
designs III posts and lighting
fixtures. The Chester system or
manental street lighting which
originated in the (U. S. J is being
used In Canada, England and
Mexico. Some places use diff
terent numbers of lights in the
Chester. The fanciest post and
cheapest plan are by no means
the most beautiful, nor most
sensible.
Do away with the ugly hang
ing light in the resident portion
of town as we'll as the business
sections.
II. Street name signs. How
shall we mark the streets so that
he who comes may read?" Not
wrought Iron posts with crossed
arms in scroll work in which
the name appears placed on the
street corners are beautiful as
well as enduring, or the
street names may be engraved
or iron tablets set in the pave
ment, or in the corner stone of
a building on a corner. Any
thing is more attractive and SUBJ
stantial that the proverbial board
nailed to the corner fence.
III. Advertisements. Let's do
away with the unsightly bill
boards that advertise everything
salable and otherwise in the
most conspicuous places, the
