the long. gloomy halls, unlocked
one door after another, until at

Of the room were OF stone, the
door of thick plank, and before
the windows were 5 rong lfon

fuI. The green fields, the sweet
flowers and the singing birds
we're as lovely as ever, but this
young man could enjoy none Of
these; no, never again could he

to death. Yes, he had killed a

Three Men Put Sign on Log in the
Middle Of the Niagara Rapids.

Yesterday afternoon daring
act was accomplished at Niagara
Falls During the last few days
P.S. Cranz, D. Maloney and =.
Whitman have been bantering
each other to various deeds OF
daring. Yesterday afternoon the
three men decided to attempt
a feat we'll nigh foolbardy. 1t
was no less than to place a sign
on an old log in the middle OF
the river, forty rods above Goat
Island Bridge. The log lies in
the center OF the rapids, and has
beer there for the last four years.
During that time no one has
ever been within reaching dis
lance OF it. The men conceived
the brilliant idea Of placing a
large board sign on the log, ad-
vertising the railroad in whose
employ they are. About two
O'Clock they set out on the ice.
After much effort they reached
their destination. Here sign,
four feet by twelve feet, was Sc
curely spiked to the log, advls-
ing readers to $50 East via
Railroad" While the men were
busily engaged in their perilous
task crowds of people began to
gather on all available points to
watch their progress. Many
speculations were INDUCED in as
to whether the men would be
able to get back by the danger
Gus route already trayerse1.
After two hours of labor when
the work was completed, shouts
from the spectators announced
that something was wrong. A
glance showed that the ice was
breaking up in all directions. In
doing their We rk the men had
moved the log, and, an opening
being made, the rapid current
soon finished the job. Though
taken by surprise, the three ad-
venture RS did not lose their pres
ence of mind. Hastily picking
mp some loose boards which they
had cut from the sign, they
started on the floating ice for the
shore. By skillful use of the
boards as paddles and a hard
struggle, they reached the shore
in safety. They We're the sub
iucts of hearty congratulations.
Mr.. Cranz said he would not at
tempt the feat again for the best
thousand-dollar bill in the land

The Nineteenth Century Hero.

"Down on de Central Market
de oder day." began Brother
Gardner, of the Limekiln Club,
II hearn a man longin' fur a
chance to become q hero. He
wanted to perform some brave
act. He wanted to lay hisself
out on sunthin' heroic. He
wanted to have hisself pinted
out as a big gun, and he sor-
rowed bekase de day of heroics
had passed. I moved aroun'
him an looked him ober. He
had on a shirt two weeks ole.
His ha'r was long an greasy.
His face an hands needed soap
an water. I 'spect dat his chill
len war bar futed an his wife
obleeged to take ID washin'. He
war sigin' to besa hero, an de
chance war right befo' him. Few
of us kin be on de spot in time
to save railroad trains, steam
boats an hotels from FIRE and
kolishln. We can't diskiver
plots to blow up opera-houses.
De water am so cold dat We hate
to jump into de ribber an save
de lives of a skule-house full Of
chill'en. But since I saw dat
would be hero Ize been won
derin' if deman who works stead
lily, takes good keer Of his family
pays his debts, tells de truf,
keeps on de bes' side OF de
Golden Rule. an carries q clean
mouf aroun' wild him am not
shout as big y hero as oe nine
