Rock Mills Itenns.

The pic mic at Hollands Ferry was very
we'll attended. Some estimate the crowd
at between three and four hundred, most
of which were Carolinians Some Geor-
gians were also attracted by the rope
walker, Mr.. J. A. Bienker. The rope
was very slack, and an attempt was made
to tighten it, but they were unable to ac-
complish anything, and, under the cir
cumstance, Mr.. Bienker walked for fifty
feet. Here the rope shook so bad that it
was impossible for any one to walk it (;
and the shaking was so intense that he
could not turn around and come back to
the bank, so he jumped into the river and
swan to the bank without receiving any
injuries. he walked far enough, under
the circumstances stated above, to fully
convince the crowd that he would have
walked the rope if it had been properly
and this was his first attempt at public
rope-walking. Had he the practice of
some Of the experienced rope-walkers he
would, no doubt, be far superior to a great
many Of them. We cannot censure Mr..
Bienker in the least. Give him fair
chance and good rope, and he will
walk it.

Two Children Drown in the Presence of

Sharp aud May Roberts broke through the
ice that thinly sheets Lake Calumet ypster-
day afternoon and were drowned, says the
Chicago Herald Scores of their little school,
mates Swimming on the ice or romping on
the banks Of the pretty lake at Pullman
saw them disappear under the cracking
ice and were powerless to save them. The
fated girls were only ten and twelve years
old respectively.
When school was dismissed the children
raced to the lake with their clanking skates,
as they have done ever since winter locked
the waters. For half an hour they whirlei
on the slippery ice, hugging the shore with
childish timidity. Bat, growing holder,
Hand in hand they swung along.
The other children paused and watched
them. They, intoxicated perhaps with
their own bravery, went further on and
out Their red scarfs snapped behind them.
Their faces grew ruddy in the wind and
they screamed with delight. Their COM
rades heard them and joined in the shouts.
Suddenly they saw the ice bend and roll
like long swell and then thoy heard it
creak. Long cracks rushed toward them
and the girls went down. The other chill
dren heard the two little ones scream again,
but the scream was not like the others.
They saw the red scarfs flutter and the
bright heads go down under the gray ice
The children were too small tn have presence
of mind enough to save their playmates
They were bound to the banks for while
and they ran wildly up One Hundred and
Eleventh street and told of the accident,
The word got to the Pullman Police Sta
ti0n and the big officers dashed down to the
lake. 1t was just o'clock when the girls
went down. The police. with long planks,
worked carefully on the swaying Ice, but
could not see the girls, and it was o'clock
before they drew the dripping bodies from
The water. They tenderly carried them to

CUPID IN A NEW ROLE.


A Beauty Makes the Little God Remove
Her Surplus Adipose.
Beauty doesn't always wait for age to dis
appear. Really it is sad and depressing
thing for young and beautiful girl to grow
stout, unless plumpness is becoming to her
style of loneliness, says New York cor
respondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Some of us look better fat and some look
better thin; and for one of the latter sort to
watch her Grecian profile sink into dudgy
pnkness of flesh while her slender graces
bulge into superf1uous pillows is worse than
the discovery of silver threads among the
gold.
SO it befell that when a tender beauty of
twenty-five summers, who made sensation
when she came out three years ago, found
the delicate lines of her form expanding
with balloon-like promise, she wept bit
terly and did everything in her power to
arrest the aggregation. Nothing awaited
for a long time. She tried patent remedies,
and athletic exercise, but still she waxed
fat, and it seemed as though her reign as a
belle had snied. When she had quite de-
SPARED of training herself down to classical
limits, she fell in love with clubman who
had the reputation Of being the tandsomest
man in town.
This fellow has treated half dozen girls
most shamefully. One was said to have
committed suicide for him. Fathers loathed
him. The young lady who suffered from
OBESITY loved him, and he led her q terrible
dance. For months she tossed UPON her
sleepless pillow and sat dejectedly before
her untouched plate at table. Jealousy and
chagrin always controlled her, and the OBJ
ject Of her great love only laughed at her
anxiety. In thousand different ways did
his tyrannical cruelty show itself, and he
took grim pleasure in watching the torture
of his worshlpng ave.
A night came when the pitiless man found
himself alone with the girl in the conserva-
tory at some one or Others ball. He looked
upon her, and in her found a perfect lowell
ness that he had not before been aware Of
Such symmetry had not fallen under his
eye in many day, and as the beauty turned
her irresistible great eyes upon him in the
tender lantern light he leaned toward her,
and would have taken her hand, but she
stepped back ami avoided him. Seeing her
recoi from him he started with amazem-nt
and said: why do you shrink from me?
Can: you see that l am overpowered by the
beauty of your presence? Don't you see
that l love you?"
The girl laughed. II am very sorry for
you," she replied. II have quite got over
my sentiment for yon."
The blow to the mans conceit was COM
plete and terrible. He clutched his brow,
staggered back and demanded of the girl q
reason for her change of heart
why" she said, as size struck bewitch-
ing attitude, do you not see that am now
as slender as l ought to be?"
