TC'OE REFUGE IN THE HPES.

All Sorts of Small Animals Blown Out of tbd Natural Gas Mains by ttie I'oroe Pumps.

The work of liOwing out the natural mains between here and Sheridan went steadily on all day yesterday. It wax not Sunday desecration, either, but rather the ease of the ox in the ditch. Several large buildings and Arms about town are almost out of coal and consequently it is necessary to spare no effort to get the gas here at the earliest possible moment. In blowing out the pipes there were several odd experiences. Of course an immense pressure was put on and I ho airand dirt were sent living out with great force. The men at the sleeves were greatly surprised to see dead rabbits, opossums, weasels, mice and other small animals come living ont with the other debris. The explanation was easily given, however. A number of the animals had crawled in at the open sleeves while others had gone in during the laying of tlio pipes. Of course the pipes were left open every night and lying along the ground like hoitow logs furnished excellent shelter for the animals which were unceremoniously bottled up of mornings by the workmen. From some of the- sections several bushels of gravel would be blown out but as most of it was in an advanced stage of decomposition and all of it well flavored with extracts of pole cat, the markets ire not at all glutted by these rich tinds. In many instances the animals would be blown out with such force that co hair would bo left on them. Near

Tliorntown a live skunk which hnd probably crawled into the pipes near the sleevo in pursuit of somo luckless rabbit, was blown ont at the feet of a crow 1 of workmen. His skunkship was somewhat disfigured but stdl in the ring, which he had. bv tho way, strictly to himself. After making himself known he limped away into the bushes looking ruthfully back at the wonderful "hollow log" through which tho wind blew so furiously. Those who saw his exit venture the opinion that that skunk will be very leary of hollow logs in the future.

Yesterday afternoon qui to a crowd collected in the company's oilico and over the telephone were able to distinctly hear tho roaring sound produced by tho blowing out. of the pipes up about Tliorntown So plainly could it be heard that one old gentleman declared, lio could smell the gas.

Music Hall To-night.

Where There's a Will There's a Way. Some boys have a dug-out on tho corner of Walnut street and the railroad, whoro they havo a stove, and in it thoy assemble at night "to havo a timo." In order to secure enough bricks for the lino thoy pulled some from the top of a I chimnoy of a house in close proximity

Tho obtaining of necessary fuel was I easily done by taking a rake and pull ing the coal from the cars in a train they gt by. This will about terminate in boy being killed or maimed for life.

WHO PASS MY WINDOW.

Observations of a Sick Man as He Gazes Out at tkePassersby. Even an invalid may find amusement nt times. It is amusing to lie in bed^ watch the pnssersby and noto tho expressions on their faces.

Here comes a man, evidently bent upon getting there for ho leans far forward, with an eagerness mapped out upon his conntonance that means business. His head goes so far that he occasionally stops to lot his legs catch up with the procession. It is not necessary to lore sleep about him. Ho'll gel there. Su sh men gonernlly do.

Next comes a woman, thin, wan and feeble, wit^ a heavy clothes basket resting upon her hip, filled with somebody's clothes which she is carrying home to receive tho pittance that will keep the wolf from the door for anothor little while. She drags heiself nlong as if every step would conclude the engagement and ono wishes so forvontly for an inexhaustible mine of wealth.

Hero comes a boy. He is evidently happy from tho way ho strikes the ground. His muscles and sinews are made of Damascus steel, for ho ski| along like an early spring robin. And his cahoprau- lungs. Caesar! When 1 opens his mouth and a stream of hid eons noise, a rib-cracking squeal issuer forth, it bursts the bark on the trees. It wouldn't be right tc kill that boy, ho it so happy. Ho pn.tses on amidst a combination or looviuotivo whistles, cycloni roars and sheet iron thunder mid an old man comes feebly by. He loans heavih upon his cane and looks languidly fo: ward, perhaps to the goal marked by head stono. Ho halls occasionally and looks back as if to review tho pathway strewn with so many withered blossoms. A sigh escapes his trembling lips as lie thinks, porhaps, of the loved ones gone before nnd whom he is feebly attempting to overtake. Bo patient, old friend: the end is not far and a rest eternal waits you.

Next conies a young lady. She has arrived at the spectacle ago when the eyes must be bouud in a gold frame She is happy for a sweet smile adorns hor countenance that would make a beehive sick. Sho believes in herself, too. for sho takes a topograpica! view of the outfit and appears satisfied. She is out: snaring suckers and may, hcreolf, got caught. You littlo human blossom bloom on and shed you beauties abroad, for tho autumn approaches when your loaves will wither and fall.

Next comes a littlo child, illy clad and on Iho pinched features i9 plainly labelled, want. What a dreary outlook! Hunger tlis' most familiar visitor and dying embers, dream's only proniptor. Never mind, little one, there is one waiting who said: Suffer little children to come unto mo. Tho eyes grow weary viewing the ceaseless panorama, but ero we close the shutters, lot us see what this is. Ho is a short, Shetland built man and wears stoga boots three sizes too large and as he industriously drags his boots along ovor tho pavomouts, ho reminds ouo of a porter moving trunks. It is to bo hoped before he returns, ho may lose his boots or oio. ic.\nT.

,V A Letter to Santa Olaus.. Many a child in this city has in t.rui faith written to Santa Claus imploring him to bring them what seems to strike their fancy, in fact, just what they want. Somo of those letters havo been mailed, addressed to Santa Claus, anil without being stamped, and will be opened at the dead fetter oilico, where the innocent requests will first cume ti light, too late for "old Santa" to grant the favor. The following 'otter is

sample of one of tho letters to Santa Claus, and was written by a little gir', six years old:

Beau Santa Claus:—I want a Shotland pony and harness and riding whip and saddle for Christinas, a great big doll with real hair and eyes that will shut, a white rabbit with pink oars, a pig and a sheep doll's trunk and wagon a nice book with pictures in it and a boy doll with hair. Send Charlie a train of cars and a shot gun and send Hattie a gold chain and] a picture book and a doll and poor Mamma a ring and a now girl baby. Send papa a collar and pants and please send me a monkey, a real live ono. I want a now littlo chair, a sweet little piano and a stool and please don't forget grandmt and uncle Walter.
