Falling Into a Net

The first thing an acrob at learns
when he gets u p on ther tapeze is
how to fall into the net. He quickly
discovers that the safest way to strike
is upon the shoulders. Then comes
the long hours OF practice to learn
how to strike there. f..
A trained performer can to GER
tain extent, always control himself
in the air. He can twist about on
his back or some other position that
is safe. The trouble with many is
that they turn too quick.
The two most dangerous positions
in which to strike the net are on the
face or feet foremost. The former
makes broken neck or broken
back probable. while the latter is
likely to result IN broken legs and a
bro ken back.-Pilttsburg Dispatch

Congressman Kilgore, of Texas,
tells this story about himself: "Dur-
ing the war, while on tur1ough, Ionce
pulled up at a cabin in Louisiana.
There was no one there but WON
an. l had 81 in my pocket which l
offered to pay her for chicken
which was smoking on the table.
She refused to SELL but was willing
to wager the chicken against the
dollar that she could beat me Jump
ing, to make the first jump, start
ing from the doorstep. [ took a
survey of the very short woman. I
was long-legged cuss, and l put
the dollar on the table by the chick
en-. | then took o position on the
doorstep, swung my hands to and
fro, pluming for my flight through
the air. Then I lit out. By the time
[ hit the ground and turned to see
the woman follow, she had shut the
door and fastened it on the inside.
The only thing I could see was the
muzzle of a double arreled shot

on the Louisville & Nashville road
running from Decatur to Montgom-
cry, Ala. just as the train started g
man came bouncing in. breathing
hard and evidently pretty we'll tired
out. After sitting down for couple
of minutes he rose and came over to
me. We were alone in the car.
STRANGER" he said, as he sat down
in hall of the seat. 81 am dead broke
and want you to pay my fare to
Guntersville.''
Every well; here's the change, and
you can hand it to the conductor"
Thanks. [ see you have an over
coat lying on the seat. Would you
have any objection to my slipping it
on for five minutes?"
"None at ALL"
You are very, very kind. Suppose
we exchange hats for ninute?"
sCertainly.''
Nov lend me your glasses and
that book
'sHere they are"
He had just got settled when the
conductor came in. The stranger
said: "Guntersville" and handed
out the fare, and the official received
it and passed out. The man hadn't
another word to say until the whistle
blew for his station. Then he got,
out of the overcoat, handed over the
other effects, and shook hands and
said:
II can't tell how much I thank you.
They weren't two minutes behind
me-"
You were fleeing. eh?''
I ran two miles"
And the-the cause?o
Couldn't prove my ownership to

chap. If you ever go into mules and
get brought up short send for me. -

Forced To Drop 100 Feet,
What might have resulted in a sci

What might have resulted in a seri-
Gus accident ACQUIRED to some work
menengaged in building the extension
to the Smithfeld street bridge.
While the James G. Blaine was pass
ing under the bridge, on her way up,
her snokestacks came in contact with
platform which swung IF ON th e.
bottom of the bridge. Capt. Cock
saw that the boat must strike the
platform, and called to the pilot to
sound the whistle. The men realized
their dangerous position, and got off
the platform and caught hold Of
an old iron bar which runs from pier
to pier not a moment too soon, as
the smokestack of the Blaine struck
the obstruction as the last man step
ped off the platform. One of the
steamers stacks was broken in two
by the force Of the collision, and the
swinging platform snapped from it's
fastenings and fell to the water.
The tour men remained hanging by
their hands, their only means of res
cue being to let go Of the stringer
and drop to the water below, nearly
100 feet. Several men were attract
ed and pushed out skiffs to rescue
them.
Finally one of the four was COM
PEELED to relinquish his hold through
exhaustion, falling into the water.
He disappeared beneath the water,
arose again and tried to swim to the
sliff, but before reaching it the little
strength which he retained gave out
and he sank. Hearose for the second
time, and the occupants of the skiff
succeeded in catching hold OF him and
pulling him into the boat.
The poor fellow became uncon-
scious, but the rescuers could not
give their attention to him, as the
other three Workmen were still hang
ing to the iron bar. Ali three held on
for dear life for fully ten minutes,
when they could no longer retain
their grasp, and one by one they fell
to the water and were rescued by the
men in the skiff, who were by this
time REINFORCED by another boat from
the shore. The first man who fell
soon recovered, and was taken ashore
where all four received medical atten-
tion on the Brownsville wharfboat.
After resting awhile they were suffi-
GENTLY strong to resume work again.
During the excitement large crowd
gathered on the shore and shouted
at the men to do different things,
which badly Disconnected them, and
if they could have held to their posi-
tions a few moments longer they
would have been rescued without get
ting aducking. The workmen would
not give their names, but say it is
their own fault, as they should not
have blocked the channel with the
MISUNDERSTANDING Dispatch.

A Host Who Provides Razors.

Chief .Ju stiee Paxson Of the Penn
sylvania Supreme court recently
called at Borneman's barber-shop in
this city to get shaved. After the
work had been performed he inquired
OF the barber as to his charges for
honing razors, and the latter, nat
urally thinking that there would be
but one Or two, stated that his price
was 25 cents apiece. The Judge had
nothing to say against this, and
next day called and laid down a lot
Of thirty-seven of the fines t chin
scrapers ever seen The Judge ex-
planned that he was accustomed to
have large numbers of gentlemen
sojourners from Philadelphia at his
farm mansion in Bucks county, and
from the fact that the nearest bar
