' Slaying Womtn and Children " ' Around the grove from tfte river ' to the staked plains on the north waa a level prairie extending far and wide into Texaa and Mexico, the abiding place of many primitive, homes and i ' mora pretentious and wealthy ranches. A great horde of Apachea in their an nual Jtuguat foray were alaylng, burn ing and driving away women, young girls and boys, while.

It la a really wonderful toy, the rider being able to make the horse go In any direction de- sired.

Tha body of tha horse la hollow and formed in two parts, hinged together. Within tha body are apringa connecting tha two aectlona. Tha lega and head are pivoted to tha body, the mechanism being arranged for guiding the forward movement of the horse.

CAR FENDER A Novel Arrangement for Brushing Victim Out of Harm's Way. Trolley accidents will happen, and not- withstanding the numeroua car fenders uaed, all of which are guaranteed to prevent loas of Ufa, when the crisis comes and they are put to tha test they are invariably found wanting. Tha ma jority of i car fendera are designed to gather up the victim and hold him au pended from the ground, but generally the victim la caught beneath the fender, A-New Tork Inventor has adopted aa entirely different method, an application of which ia ahown In the illustration. Instead of conatructlng the fender to pick tha victim up, he employa a novel method of puahlng the vlotlm along In front of the wtieela. Thla la done by meana of a large rotary brush, which revolvea directly In front of tha car wheels, a gear on the car wheel. The brush la journaled at an angle, ao that an object coming In contact with the brush would be puahed by a limited number of revolutions of tha . brush to . , BBt'SUES THB VICTItf AWAY. one aide and bayonA the trolley track.
