of the Scott lot without being hurt, but
last Thursday evening he outdid himself.
His father is building a new house on W.

playing hide and 90 seek in it. Park
climbed up to the attic and hid behind, or
rather above, the loose boards he was
standing upon. The other boys couldn't
find him, and he got up and moved about
and stepped on the end of short board,
aud down he went, feet first, with the
board following after. The boys yelled
that Park was Killed and all the neighbors
: ran to the building with their hearts in
their throats, and there they saw Park sit
ting straddle of a joist of the first floor,
crying. They carried him out, and the
boys made little tun of him and then he
laughed and walked home and was walk
ing about next day. He fell at least twenty
feet and alighting straddle of joist-well
