Giving Good Advice to Three Young Men

Giving Good Advice to Three Young Men
While they Punch Each Others Heads
One Of the most mlld-mannered men in
this city Is at present doing duty ON the
"modelb police force This month be Is on
night turn, and while patroling his beat, in
the neighborhood of Third and Lombard
streets about 10 o'clock last night, ran sud
denly upon three young men who were
pummeling each other In lively manner
and attracting quite q crowd of interested
spectators. The officer was seen coming to-
ward the seat OF war, but this fact created
no stir, as all assembled knew that the
| officer was afraid TO interfere.
Upon coming up to the crowd the valiant
bearer of the star said in a voice that was
| calculated to soften the heart Of the hardest
criminal: "Boys, you'd better quit, now. -
But they didn't quit, and after moving
around nervously for few minutes he re
/ peated his little speech and again waited 10
see what effect It would have upon the
pugilists
This second appeal not having the desired
effect, the officer drew himself up to his full
length, inflated his lungs until the buttoni
on his coat groaned, and dropping q few
ounces of courage into his voice, so h
speak, said, "you had better stop, now,
but made no attempt TO stop the row, whicl
had been going on from the time the Office
had made his appearance on the battl
ground.
Some one in the crowd suggested that b
had better go home and stop interferrin
with other peoples business. This remar
evidently hurt his feelings, for he immt
diately made himself scarce and was nc
seen aPain until after the fight was over.
In all probability the officer thinks tha
kindness goes farther than blows, but In th
case he has lost all the glory that ls usual
accorded to an officer who at least tries I
preserve the peace and maintain dignity {
the city and Of his office.

Hanging by Two Fingers from . Balloon
1900 Feet from the Earth.
PARIS, August 22.-At Royan, on the
Gironde, there was on Friday a scene per-
hape unprecedented In the annals of balloon
ing. M. Gratien, well known aronaut, was
about TO make an ascent in hot air
balloon called "La Vidouvillaise."
Mile. Albertine, the heroine of several
balloon ascensions, was seated in the car,
and NJ. Gratien was holding in his right
hand loose coil tied to one of the cords
that served to attach the balloon. The bal
loon Unexpectedly broke loose and the cord,
unrolling itself with lightning rapidity,
caught In q sort of running knot around
the first and second fingers of Gratien's
right hand.
Gratlen was Immediately whisked of into
the air 900 meters high. In vain he tried to
haul himself up ON the cord and loop 1t over
his arm. After frantic efforts he became
exhausted and hung at the end Of the cord
suspended solely by his two fingers, and suf-
fering excruciating agony. Owing TO the
Jerking Of the balloon the cord cut like q
razor through the flesh TO the bone.
In that situation Gratien was carried to
the distance of nearly four miles, at the
height Of 900 metres above the earth. Mile.
Albertine, overcome by the horror of the
situation, tainted away and sank helpless to
the bottom of the car.
As the air In the balloon became cool the
balloon decended, but bumped against the
earth In q dense mass Of thorny shrubbery
GratieR was not only stripped OF his
clothes, but his skin was literally torn in
strips from his body as he was dragged fol
nearly half a mile through the thorny
brambles. Finally some peasants managed
to cut the cord. Gratien appeared to be 1
mass of wounds and 70 be near bleeding u
death. Strange to say, he did not lose con
sciousness for a single instant. He suffered
no internal injury, and although his condi
ton is critical, he probably will recover.
When the rope was cut and the balloon
was freed from the weight OF Gratien's body
It again arose in the air, carrying off Mile
Albertine. By singular good fortune it sool
landed In a marsh, and Mademoiselle at las
stood on terra frma. She was sorely dis
tressed in mind and badly scared, but other
wise safe and sound.
Royan is in Charente Inferieure. 1t q
situated at the mouth of the Gironde and Il
20 miles southwest of Saintes. 1t has
small harbor, fort, fisheries and bathing
establishments. 1t is much frequented b!
the residents of Bordeaux.

This raises a question of interest
to the journalistic guild of Tennes-

definitely decided. There are of
course a great many editors in

who is older than the venerable
editor of the Athens Post; but we
do not recall any who have been
longer in continuous editorial service
than the two named by the Stand

now of the Nashville American, and
Col. Tom Boyers, of the Gallatin
Examiner. 1t is q forcible illustra-

men. In the dark days of 1864, a
treasury clerk kept for twenty four
hours a secret known only to presi-
dent Lincoln and Secretary Chase
besides himself. When il became
officially known it sent gold flying
up, and the country was in dismay.
1t was a secret too that could have
been passed on without har ming
the union cause. It was simply a
question of keeping faith till the
time came. An hour after the news
broke the clerk fairly staggered I'M
der terrific slap on his shoulder.
He heard and saw a banker whom
he knew well. "You miserable
foolp cried the bpnker, "Pd have
given you 100000 to have known
this twenty-four hours ago" And
the banker could have afforded to
do it. But the clerk had the salts
faction of knowing that he had
done his duty, as many another
government officer has done under
circumstances of temptation.
