She stepped down to the foamy
edge Of the surf and ran back, scream.
ing prettily as the water ran up over
her toes. And all the spectators
smiled. And then she ran down again
and danced on one toe and then on
the other, and then on both at once
as she got in all the way up to her
ankles. Then she plucked up all her
coulage and as big wave rolled In
she ran to meet it.
1t Topped her bang up against the
beach, knocked her sailor hat into
shapelessness, and as it receded drew
her out as if she had been wooden
ball. 1t was almost too much of a
good thing and she struggled and
wringgled and splutteled. And while
she struggled to get a footholi another
wave seized her, and she tipped over
the top of it as light as an eggshell.
Quick as thought came third, and
she danced over the top OF that also,
and every time she tried to get on her
feet she was whisked back.
Then she realized that she was beau
tifully floating out to sea, and she sent
up a scream that startled the bathers
near her, One of them, young and
brave and strong, rushed-for it was
too shallow to swm-te her rescue.
He seized her by the shoulder, but
her feet would not down, and being a
wise and thoughtful lad he towed her
into shore. She scarcely stopped to
say thank you, and with the rid blood
of confusion showing In her tanned
cheeks rushed away to change her gar.
ments. She might have escaped with
that had she not impaired the secret OF
the episode to a friend.
And the secret was this: She was a
prudent girl with proper regard for
her safety. She had taken out the
whalebones of her corsets and intro
duced cork stays. and had put anothe,
layer Of cork in her stockings. She
had miscaculated the effect, only to
find that while the cork kept hel
nicely above water, it quite effectually
prevented her getting down also. The
story came out and the gil left
Ocean Grove simultaneously yester.
| day.

A Sad Accident.

Yesterday forenoon about ten
O'Clock a very sad accident happened
to little Ethel, 7.year.old daughter Of
Mr. and Mrs. Travis Jones. While
sitting in a window in the second story
of the house, the pretty little girl lost
her balance and fell to the ground be-
low, alighting on the hard pavement.
The fall was fearful one but happi-
ly was not fatal one. The physician,
who was on the spot in few minutes
after the accident, found. the little child
terribly wounded. One arm was brok-
en- at the wrist, one of the joints in the
other was dislocated and she was in.
jured internally. The fond parents
are distracted over the accident, which
it is to be hoped the little sufferer will
soon recover from.

The Sermon Yesterday.

Although the streets were very
muddy last night. the Christian
church was well filled with an ap-
precIative audience mostly of young
folks, to hear Mr.. Gilbert lecture on
Purpose the True Test of Manhood
and Wonanhood." From the begin
ing it was evident that the speaker
had the attention of the entire
audience, and it should have been so,
for never was there more solid or
eloquent lecture delivered in Waco.
The ground work of his lecture was
solid and logical and the fight of ora
tory superbly grand. Mr.. Gilbert is
both a great reasoner s...G elOcution-
ist, we feel Utterly unable to describe
the lecture, but will say to those who
love to listen to good preaching, go
out tonight and tomorrow night, IA
Mr.. Gilbert will leave Waco Wednes-
day. Tonight and to morrew night
will embrace his ablest efforts.

A Bloody Stabbing ARRAY.

At ten o'clock last night deputy
sheriff Dan Ford was telephoned
from Bruceville, on account of an
affray which had occurred there, and
was asked to come down at once. He
went down on the midnight train.
Two negroes, railroad hands, about 90
or 81 years of age, got into quarrel
over game of baseball and fought
a duel with knives. One was carved
nearly to pieces, relieving four stabs
in the back, deep and dangerous, one
in the breast and one in the arm.
The wounded man was put on the
train which passes through: here ut
a. m. and carried to the Fort Worth
Hospital. The one who had done the
cutting struck out for Temple, and the
west. Mr.. Ford returned to Waco
this evening.

Waco Evening News.

Waco Evening News:
am poor carpenter and live IN
Carpentersville, in the northwestern
portion of the city. 1 have been
taking your valuable paper ever
since the first issue and knowing
your sympathy for the poor, take
this mode of giving the citizens
of both .classes my idea of how
to become good citizens. A little
over two years ago the building
associations of Waco let 1t be known
that they would furnish lot and
the money to get lumber, hardware,
etc., to every man who would build
his own house on it, and as cOnse-
quence, in less than three months
there were twenty-five or thirty
houses under construction, or already
finished, and large majority of them
are up with their payments. In the
! course of two years more they will
own their own homes, and will have
been out but Little more than the
rent would have amounted to.
Now if the building associations
will do tits all the time, they will
find quite number of people who
would embrace the opportunity to
build who would never be able other
wise to do so. A man will take
much more interest in n city that he
owns property in than he would if he
was simply renter, and will make n
better citizen and pay his debts better
if he is interested than if he is rem ting.
1t will also enhance property and
make times better every way.

years, and has usually held its an

in DenisOn. In discussing q place
for ext years meeting, Dallas and
Fort Worth were in nomination, but
M. G. Faulkner, of the Fifth ward of
this city, put Waco in nomination,
and.urged her advantages so effective

Queer sight In the SKY.

Fossil, Wyo., Aug. 20.-A strange
phenomenon was observed here at
$40 O'Clock this evening. In the
northwest part of the sky, about 80
above the horizon, there appeared u
figure very similar to the hOrn-like
appearance of the new moon, except
that it was larger and somewhat
fainter, though distinct and well de-
fined. From 1t there shot downward
an immense ball of fire, like an over
grown meteor, leaving a tail of light
behind it lasting several minutes be.
fore it fated entirely away. This ball
of fire was fully as large and nearly
as bright as the sun. During half
hour the horn remained visible, till
it was obscured by clouds. Flashes
of meteoric light were seen playing
around and through it. After the
clouds had passed away, the flashes
could still be seen from below the
horizon for more, than an hour. The
full moon was shining in the oppo-
site part of the sky during the APP
pearance of the phenomena.

OVER THE BANK.

The local freight north, Monday after
noon, met with mshap at the kaolin
works side-track, about half a mile this
side of Vergennes station. A car had
been set off there and then the engine
backed up on the main line. 1t started
ahead with the train before the switch
had been closed, the engineer expecting
that one of two men who were close to
the switch would throw it over. Neither
of them did so, however, owing to each
ones srppositon that the other would
attend to it, and the engine ran upon the
siding again. The car already there was
thrown over the bank and the engine, the
killington, and one car followed. The
cars were somewhat broken up and the
locomotive considerably injured. The
wreck was off the main line and conse-
quently no serious delay of trains was oc-
casioned.
