Thrilling Exhibition Of Nerve.

Bernard Koehler and Fritz His.
gen, two house painters, began
painting the large house at Belts
street and Central avenue. Three
O'Clock in the afternoon found
them close up under the caves of
the house and sixty-five feet from
the ground. They had Just fin
ished the surface within reach and
had started to lower the scaffold a
few feet. When the required dis
tance had been reached, Hisgen
called to his partner to hang on to
the rope until he (Hisgen) tied
his own, when he would
come over and perform like
service for him. Hisgen had just
completed his own knot, when
Koehler cried out: "Come over.
quick; I can't hold it," Hisgen, AZ
quickly as possible, started across
the aerial bridge, but had not gone
two steps when he saw the man let

story window cornice and there
hung in the air, o distance of sixty
feet from the pavement. He then
gave an exhibition of nerve that
terrified every one who saw it.
Placing one toe Of one foot against
the window frame, he gave his
body slight pendulum motion
away from the house. A second
push gave him better imputus,
and as he swung on the return to-
ward the window he released his
hold and went crashing through
the glass safely to the floor of the
fourth-story room, from whence

the aperature he had made to
see what had become of bis

quite 60 fortunate. As he went
shooting through the air he caught
the hanging rope with both hands,

The smartest Texan, and In fact,
the smartest farmer, 1 have ever

on 1,000-acre farm west of Waxa-

Mr.. Graves had shown me his

pointed to a ten-scre forest.
"What of it? Why them's black
walnuts, sir. Ten acres of 'em.
Planted 'em myself ten years ago.
See. they're nine inches through.
Good trees, eh?"
And sure enough there were ten
acres of hand planted black walnut
trees. They stood about twelve
feet apart, 200 to the acre-in all
1000 trees.

money back?" 1 asked.
"Blsck walnuts are worth So 80

bushels this year. That's $1,000.
A hundred dollars an acre is good
rent for land worth SIS an acre,

"Well, what else?p 1 inquired,
growing interested.
"The trees" continued Mr..
Graves, "are growing an inch a
year. When they are twenty
years old they will be nineteen
inches through. A black walnut
tree nineteen inches through is
worth $25. My 1000 trees ten
years from now will be worth
$50, 900. If 1 don't want to cut
them all, 1 can cut half of them,

A Fearless Woman.

The Ogdensburg Journal details
the experience Of a tramp In that
city: "a tramp called at tho resi-
dence of Henry Carlton on Hamil-
ton street, Ia this city, recently,
and asked for something to eat.
Mrs. Carlton, who had just been
making batch of fried.cakes, set
plateful before him, of which the
tramp ate heartily. When he had
satisfied his wants he said: There
is something peculiar about those
cakes. They have peculiar flavor.
Did you put poison in themp at
the same time assn ming domi-
neering and insulting tone. Mrs.
Carlton, seeing she had an ugly
customer to deal with, stepped
to her bureau, and, taking
her husbands revolver, drew line
on the tramp and told him to go
out Of her house. The tramp put
his hand Into his pocket and said:
We'll see; that's a game that two
can play at Mrs. Carlton stepped
forward quickly, and, covering him
to dead certainty with her revol-
yer, said: You remove your hand
from your pocket and you are q
dead man instantly. Now move
OUT One look suff1ced to satisfy
the tramp that raised hand would
cause his departure to warmer If
not more congenial climate. and
ne commenced backing for the
door, closely followed by the
plucky woman, who carried
steady hand and a watchful eye."
