Sam Patch

Henry B. Stanton, in his recently
published volume IF reeolleetionS, says:
alsEasss ai aasuost ans Or tse little
ing precisely ttIe-year IN which -
occurred Sam Patch, TIE .,lous'
| jumper and diver, came there in the
fall, we will say, of 1928, and proposed
to leap from the falls in the heart of
the village. On the day fixed Sam
appeared. The banks of the river az
far as the eye could reach were lined
with spectators. He was dressed in
suit Of white, and | will state for the
benefit Of other fools Of the same class
that before he leaped he placed his
hands firmly on his loins, then sprang
from the shelving rock, and went
down straight as an arrow. He came
up feet foremost, and swan ashore
amid the shouts of thousands. A few
days later he proposed to leap again.
He erected "a scaffold twenty live feet
high on the brink of the falls, making
the descent 1875 feet. On the day
named another immense throhg as
sembled. Mr.. Weed and happened
to meet at the foot of the scatfold.
Patch came dressed as before, and ap-
parently, little under the influence
of liquor. AS he ascended the scatfold
Mr.. Weed left, but | remained. AS
Patch went down his arms were all in
whirl, and he struck TIE water with
a stunning splash. The crowd waited
for an hour. He did not rise. The
next spring the mangled remains of
the poor wretch were found at the
foot of the falls at Carthage, four
miles below.

How Disease is Spread.

Every one knows that scarlet fever
is infectious, but it is not often one is
able to tr ce the progress of the dis
ease through simple car~lessness so
easily as in "a Gaze which has Just
come under the notice of the Sanitary
World. The story is told as follows:
a y ung Scottish lassie, in domestic
service not far from the town Of EIgin,
di d from scarlet fever in her "pace."
Her clothes were carefully packed up,
and her "kist containing them was
conScientiously Is sent home to her native
village. On its arrival at the station
there was the usual difficulty of get
ting it conveyed over the hills to the
place Of its destination, so there it had
to remain awaiting friendly lift
Meanwhile the infected kist for ned "a
happy hunting ground for the station
masters children, who, in due time,
all fell i'll with scarlet fever. At last
the friendly lift came, and the box Ga
large wooden one) was carried home,
and the contents generousl ly distributed
among the neighbors. Needless to say
that an outbreak of scarlet fever in
the village was the result; aud as to
the station, where people do congre-
gate and often have long to wait, it
would simply be- center from which
many fever track would radiate, ex-
citing the usual wonder whence and
how the fever came.

Thought He Was Wanted.

A practical detective can frequently
discern at a glance that man is a
rogue. The stamp Of dishonesty on
his features, or his anxiety on being
observed, tells the story. A remarka-
BILE illustration of this fact was nara
ted by the Boston correspondent Of
the Bingham Journal a year or two
ago. The detective was Constable De-
rastus Clapp, the successor Of Old
Reed, famous rogue catcher of Bos
ton half century ago, who was Tor
forty years the terror &C. evil doers in
and about the New England metrop-
oils
Clapp was shrewd man and an ex
cellent Judge of human nature. He
could tell rogue as far off as he could
tell a black man, and he never made
mistakes. His ''cOme along with me-"
was imperative and admitted of no ar
gument.
An instance of his readiness in read
ing character occurred one morning
in the upper criminal court. A case
Of considerable interest was being
tried, and the gallery was crowded
with spectators.
Two or three reporters were sitting
near the door, when Clapp, STOPPING
over. whispered:
"Don't all look at once, but please
observe that nice-looking man with the
white cravat, in the front middle seat
# the gallery"
We looked Now" SAYS CIapr,
'I'll bet that can start that man
travelling out of the courthouse on the
double quick in less than five minutes
nor will | leave the room or send him
any message"
While We were wondering how The
feat was to be accomplished, the vete-
ran quietly beckoned to Officer Tai
liant, and taking :. pair Of handouts
from his pocket, directed that officers
attention to the party in the gallery,
and apparently gave him some direc-
tions.
Tallant opened the door and stepped
into the entry, and at the same instant
the gentleman with the white crlvat
bolted like lightning through the
crowd to the door and disappeared.
"Gentleman." remarked Clapp. 81

A Dreadful Child.

In Houston family, which was it
rather poor circumstances, the arriTa
of ii wealthy aunt was expected. The
aforesaid aunt, by some accide t ol
other, had lost a portion of her nose
The children were reminded frequently
not to make any reference whatever tC
the defective nasal organ. The rich
aunt arrived, but Size had scarcely ia
ken off her bonnet when the lttlesl
kid in the flock exclaimed:
Papa. you told us not to say any
thing about aunt's nose. Why, she
hasn't got any nose at all"

The Same Thing.

He came down a public stairway
bowling and screaming as if il the
greatest agony, and of course the near
est pedestrian asked the cause of his
trouble. "S-sat down on a humble.
bee!" howled the boy. That can't be
so. There are no bumblebees around
this time O year." "Then what was
it?" "a tack, probably. l wouldn't
cry over it." "Mebbe you W. wouldn't
but tack is so near like bumblebe
that | don't see any Indifference, and
I'm going to have my cry out"

ate his dinner.
"My DEAR" said he, as he put on
his overcoat to 60 out, 81 will bring
that dress home to night"
"And while you are about it you
might as well bring home that bonnet
which | admired SO much at Madam
Argaud's said his wife, desiring to
test him farther.
81 will bring it," was his response,
as he closed the hall door-not with a
bang, but very gently.
And he did. The cure was COM
plete. The tyrant had abdica'ed his
throne forever, and Mrs. Eastman
claimed all the credit.
If | had not suggested the only
remedy you would have been a slave
to this day. said she, and her sister
could not gaiusay it.

A Plain Case.

Where's Johnny" inquired Mrs.
Blueskin, as she was walking along

"Is he? | thought he might be left
behind" said Mrs. B., without betray-
ing the slightest emotion.

Her daughter Mrs. X. J. Kenney

Memorial Day,

Decoration day was fittingly observ-
ed in Morris this year by the G. A. J..
Overton post, G. A. r. and the public
generally. All business houses were
closed from - o'clock till in the af-
ternoon. The exercises were attend
by the G, A. r. post, Phoenix Fire
Company and the public schools in a
body and by large lumber of other
citizens. The exercises in Phoenix
Hall were opened by prayer by Rev.
K. F. Norris. There was music by
the choir, the usual G. A. r. memo
rial exercises and all address by Rev.
J. A. Cullen, after which procession
was formed in the order indicated by
the programme published last week
and the company marched to the GEM
etery. The exercises there were inn
pressive. The graves of fallen
comrades were decorated, the process
moved back to town in the same order
in which it moved out and the COM
pany dispersed. Much greater inter
est was shown in the exercises of the
day and the attendance was much
larger than any one had previously
anticipated.

A Sad Career.

The divorced wife of Bonanza
millionaire recently came to mourn
full death principally from taking
choral, which unsettled her mind
and demoralized her whole physical
system. She has been weakly and
ailing and felt her need of something
to drown her sorrows and brace her
up. Had she taken Browns Iron
Bitters she would have been invigor-
ated so that she could have fought
her SORROWS off and enjoyed healthy
life. This valuable medicine cures
general debility, tones the nerves,
strengthens the muscles and aids
digestion.

The editor of the TRIBUNE skipped

The editor of the TRIBUNE skipped
to-day noon for parts unknown, or
words to that effect. The sub and
the "devil" are left to mourn his loss
and liquidate his numerous obliga-
tions, which work makes us awful
tired. There is but one thing ofwhich
we are positive and that Is that he Is
sure to come back in time complete
ly strapped" and go right to work
dunning, with that plalntive accent
of his, and the only way those who
owe the concern anything, can pre-
vent having life made a burden to
them is to Gull and pay up Mt once
and fortify themselves with receipt.
Some one who hasa very selfish ap-
probation of flowers, but who is too
lazy to cultivate them and too mean
to get them in an honorable way went
into the yard at the residence of Mrs.
Max Buckentiu last Sunday night
and dug up and carried away some OF
the choc st flowers. For sneak
thieves who will do as mean work as
that, shot gun or II feroclous bull
dog should be kept in readiness all
the time. Those who are familiar
with the premises mentioned know
that there are Il large number of at
tractive shrubs and flowers which are
always kept in perfect order and it is
very annoying to have things destroy
ell and removed by such disreputable
means.
