Town People Get Drunk

Carroll, Iowa, Oct. VIRTUALLY an
entire Iowa town got. drunk the other
day, due to a train wreck. The town is
Manning, busy railroad centre, about
p miles southwest OF this place. On the
day in question an eastbound freight
train on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul road was tlerailed just west of
a Yiaduct, where it crosses the Great
Western and Chicago and Northwest
ern tracks. Eleven cars left the rails
and nine of them rolled down the en-
bankment about 80 feet.
One of the cars which left the rails
but did not go over the embankment,
was a tank car containing 10000 gall
Ions of California wine consigned to
an Atlantic seaport. That the car con-
tanned wine, however, did not become
known until a gang Of Mexican track
laberers had got hilariously drunk.

FOX AND MRS. MOUSE

~ NE night when Mr.. Fox was
" sneaking along by the barnyard

beside the fence.

Juanita Miller, daughter of joaquin
Miller, the '.Poet of the Sierras," ex-

She got it.
And Alexander Khodjayan, former

complained, in asking for a divorce in
San Francisco, that his wife had en-
barrassed him by tickling the neck OF
a great dignitary at banquet.
