the fifst joint of the index finger
as the result of an accident which
befell him at Foster’s switch
Tuesday afternoon. He was un-
loading some heavy bridge tim-
bers, one t>f which became un-
balanced and fell on his right
arm, breaking it just above the
joint, and rolling against another
timber caught his finger and
mashed off the joint. Physicians
dressed the injuries and he is
able to be about, but he jn tak-

It would amuse you to see how

The new structure ia a remarkable

rets that form its apex, it has 16
stories, each of a generous depth.
There are no fewer than 18 lift* in
the building. The structure is built
on the ferro-concrete principle and
its foundations are some 60 feet be-
low street level. It is to win dis-
tinction by having a clock larger
than that of Westminster. The®

Seldom do we find a man who has
the courage to'do what Ibsen’s Hed-
da Qabler, called “a really beautiful I
thing.” This is quite a prosaio
world, after all, And folk look as-
kance at the man who will do a deed
of sentiment in broad daylight. But
sffch things do happen, just once in
a while. The other day a New York
florist closed all his shops and held
a funeral for his loved St Bernard'
dog, whom a fiend had poisoned.
Regular services were held at the
master’s house, and the minister who
read the service delivered a toaq^jjA^.’H
eulogy on dogs and on Leo in partic-
ular. The dog’s body was borne to
the grave by four children who had1
known Leo since he was a puppy.;
Around Jhe grave the moufners sang!
a hymn. Was the minister ashamed
to officiate at a dog’s funeral? Not
bit. “It seems to me eminently,
proper and fitting,” the minister
said; “I knew Leo as a friend, and V
as a friend I mourn his tragic tak-
ing' off. Of all earthly creatures
none is so faithful as one’s dog.” A 1
highly behutiful sentiment!—Den-
ver Times. '

“That remark was suspicious,"
said Senator Root, in a brilliant an- *
alyais of a recent scandal. “That:
remark opened up backgrounds of V
suspicion as vast and forbidding as
those which were opened up by the
remark of a rich clothier.
“‘What are-you buying a new.
safe for?’ the clothier’s wife asked.
“ ‘Well,’ was the reply, ‘the' old
safe’s been through so many fires
that the safe manufacturers want it
for an advertisement.’ ”

She complained tS Madame Le-
