Danger In Newspapers

Kor severa! weeks past the streets in tho extreme southern section of the city have been littered with papers, handbills and other rubblsh of all sorts and slzes, says the Philadelphia Recoii!. The evil Is due In a measure to tha 6?.Wt of certain merchant3 of the :;cl;::!'oorhood who, to advertise heir wares, have flooded the district vith prlnted "dodgers" both large and small. Tliis conditlon cf affairs led to an accident recently which might have proved serlous. A milk wagon drawn y a meek-looking brown horse ogging peacefully along Ritner street, near 12th, when suddenly a doublé sheet of a newspaper borne along by the wind swooped down upon the horse's head. The paper stuck there ind twisting itself about the frightonoil brute's head transformed tliat formerly peaceful animal into a perfect demon. Wlth a wild flourtsh of lts hinfl legs which shattered the dashboard ol tue wagon the horse, blindfolded as it was with the paper, tore furiously lown Ritner atreet. The wagon struck a pile of stones and although it was not ovorturnod tlie milk cans were, and their contents poured into a mortar bed which lay along the south sid of the street, where a row of new houses was being erected. At the same time the traces broke and the horse, floundering into a bed of sand, feil in a heap. Then another gust of wind came along, whisiced the newspaper off the hon3'l head and carried it over an udjoining house top. The horse was captured and found to be uninjured, bel ihe milkman bemoaned tha Iobs of eiL,hty quarts of milk.
