Rhoddy, a sixteen year old boy who lives on Madison street, just north of the Union Pacific crossing had a narrow escape from death as a result of runaway. The boy drove a team of beavy horses hitched to a wagon in front of his home and stopped.

Just about that time a crowd of boys came nosily along and according to young Rhoddy's story one of them struck one of the horsee, They started to run up Madison street. The boy pluckily hung on to the lines and did his best to stop them but his strength had no effect on the frightened horses. They tore up the street to Laurent, and he succeeded in turning the corner all right, then west to Monroe they dashed and south again on Monroe to the railroad. Here the boy again made a good turn and held them pretty straight as they dashed west past the office of the Inter-Ocean mills, but here the wagon tongue came down and the horses became free from the wagon and tore across the tracks up Quincy street, dragging the boy out over the front gate of the wagon, still holding to the lines. When the boy struck the ground his grasp was broken and the lines wound around his feet and thus he was dragged across the tracks before he succeeded in getting loose.

The tr team kept on and before anyone could get to him the boy was on his feet a regular animated ball of mud and swearing at the one whom he claimed caused the 'ouble. The boy was not hurt, and the wagon but little damaged. As to the team, the last report we bave is, that our reporter was in hot pursuit and were going south on Monroe and no doubt dashed over the bank of the Kaw and are at this time some where near Lawrence, but we shall patiently await their safe return.

Ex-Governor Oglesby, of Illinois, familiarly called "Uncle Dick" by friends and acquaintances, has become the subject of many racy anecdotes and reminiscenses since his recent death. Here is one of the stories he was fond of telling on himself: "I really didn't know what I wanted to be, so one summer I tried farming. I worked hard, but the seasons passed and I had cleared just $6.50. It rather struck me that I had not been cut out for a farmer, and so I decided to study law. I had never read a book through in my life, but down to Springfield I went to read with Judge Robbins.

The first thing I tackled was Blackstone. Well, the big words, nearly took my breath away. The judge suggested that it would be well for me to read English history in connection with the works on law, and asked me what 1 could remember of any history. 'I never read any, I swered. 'What! No English "'No American 01 'Well, what have you asked the judge, severely.

'Nothing, judge. I never read a book through in my "To say the judge was astonished at my audacity, I think, rather than my ignorance, it putting it mildly, but he only looked at me and said: 'Why, Dick, how in the devil do you expect to become a "I told him that I knew several had yers who never read anything, never read anything, didn't know anything and hadn't any sense either, and I guessed I could be a lawyer if they could. "After that I buckled right down to work," continued "Uncle Dick," "and after I had read a number of law books I went before Judge examination. There were a Breeze number for of us and we had a jug of cider and a bushel of appies to treat the judges. so we all went through.

Not long after that Seth Post, an old lawyer at Decatur, had a case in probate court for which he was get $30-a splendid fee for those days. He offered to take me in with him, and I accepted. I was to open the argument, and if I remember rightly, I well nigh covered the ground of everything I knew in that speech. But I didn't know a thing about the case, and it is needless to say my speech fell rather short of the point in question. Judge Emerson was counsel for the other side, and he was a mighty good lawyer.

too. He simply tore my talk into shreds, and informed me in substance that I had made a fool of myself. When he had finished Seth Post arose and addressed the court very briefly, saying that distinguished colleague, Mr. Oglesby, had so carefully recited the facts that it was quite unnecessary for him to add anything. In that way the jury took the case, and in ten minutes they came back with a verdict in our favor.

I got my $15 and it was more money than I had ever owned before. "Why does he make all those motions with his arm before he pitches the ball?" "Those are signals to the catcher.
