time that he ventured out alone. He

would rival an aviator passing a bat

ton of East Park and Wyoming streets

fair, cussed and generally mean.

stopped In the center of the car tracks
with street cars approaching from two
directions at once. Jim stopped the
cars, the motor trucks, the nearest po-
| llceman and large. interested and

He jumped out OF his wagon and
Jim drove ahead one foot, when il
stopped. He repeated the perform
ance, to the delight of the crowd and
the chagrain of the motormen. and pro-
| ceeded to halt traffic further while he
explained to the officer what the

In 10 minutes Jim had advanced 10
feet, had sustained a sore arm and
shoulder and was out OF the way of

good -humored crowd.
