Hsv !. ranke. Boy Wade q Meteor

Says the Springfield RepHbtic9n:

goes that q boy well back in ISL made
. kite and attached lantern to II, in
which he put . candle and arranged i,

il would explode some powder which
was in the bottom Of the lantern. He
kept the secret entirely to himself, and
waited for q suitable night in which to
raise his kite. Tho boy got his kite in
to the air without being discovered, for
it was so dark that nothing but the col.
ored lantern was visible. 1t went dan
cling about the air wildly, attracting
much notice, and was looked upon by
ignorant people IS some supernatural
omen. The evil spirit as many spu'
posed it. went hobbIing about for about
twenty minutes, and then exploded,
blowing the lantern to pieces. Next
morning all Was wonder and excitement
and this lad, who had carefully taken his
Kite and hidden it after the explosion
without being found out, had his own

Bsottleboro never had an explanation
Of The mystery until nearly sixty years

He found the lady evidently in some
trouble and embarrassment. To his af.
frmative response to the query whether
he was a married man, the lady stated
that she was on h,r way from Cincinna-

and that crisis was impending, involv-
ing the appearance of an additional pass
cnger. This startled the conductor of
course; but with heart big as an ele-
plant, he set to work TO make the lady
comfortable. All the passengers were
hastily shufiled into another Car, and
such female assistance as could be pro-
cured on the tram was brought into re-
QUESTION. In brief time the little stran-

received another shock. This time il

on his journey through the world. Then
for fear Of what might happen,
the train was hurried up. In due time
it reached Pittsburgh, and the lady and
two untickcted passengers were tender

an unreasonable conclusion that some, per-
