HAD SERIOUS RUNAWAY
Breaking of HOId-back Placed Il. j.
TierneY in Great Peril

T. j. Tierney came very near hav-
ing a most serious accident Sunday.
He was just starting out of his yard
on Clark's Avenue with his team
when the harness broke, letting one
tug and a hold-back strap down.
This let the wagon onto the horse,
which frightened it so that it started
at very swift speed and did a good
deal of kicking. Mr.. Tierney with
great presence of mind and courage
held the reins so tightly that the
horse could not get free from the
wagon, even if that was the only
part of the harness that held it. The
horse ran down Clark's Avenue,
across Maple street to Pearl street,
down that onto Railroad street and
was finally stopped down by the dry
bridge toward the Playground. he
horse was scratched up some but
there was no serious damage done.

JUST THROWING OUT A HINT
10 Charity Fund Was to Be Given 70
the Needy, He Could Use
d. Part Of II. T. ri

The children Of q Boston Sunday
school class had contributed their
pennies for weeks to a fund which
was to be devoted to charitable pur-
poses, and on the day when they were
to decide on the matter Of its dis
rtribution each child was called upon
to express an opinion as to how It
should be spent.
The teacher explained to them that
there were several charities which
would be glad to receive the fund,
either in Boston or among the for
eign missions. She had impressed
upon them, however, that the money
might be spent to good advantage
among IT, sick and needy children
of their W parish. Several bright
speeches on the subject had been
made, when one seven-year-old boy
arose and, evidently bearing in mind
the teachers remarks about charity
beginning at home, said:
Il want you to know that I have
put a good many pennies in that
box" and then, after some delay
and I've got a terrible cold myself"

From the Kansas City Star.
Think Of the nerve of this Frenchman.
Pegoud.

he sweeps into a. curve that brings his
machine upside down.. Another drop and
another curve right the plane.

Gle, required to accomplish such q feat.
The slightest wavering might have up

There was no chance to get accustomed
to the strange position with precautions
for safety; Psgoud had to assume that

dizzy height upside down, as he would be
In an ordinary flight. He had to have abb
solute confidence In his immunity from the
slightest touch Of giddiness. Under such
conditions even the disturbance OF wrist
and arm arising from an accelerated heart
beat might prove fatal.
The event proved he had taken his own
measure correctly. Pegoud the aviator
was no more human han the monoplane
