A TYPEWRITER TALE.

Everythins Went SIN oothly TIL He
Struck the Upper Case r.
Tam not much Of d. urtuoso on the
typewriter. Those VIII, have made the
typewriter q study, and have appeared
before all the crowned heads Of Europe,
and given public perfoi mances in all the
great cities Of this country and New
York state, criticise me rather sharply,
and say my technique ID bad, and that
my lingering is not all that could be de-
sired. However, in justice to myself I
will state that the instrument was out
Of tune when they listened to my per
Torrance.
Sometimes, when in lnelancholy mood,
seat me at the typewriter, allow my
long, delicately tapered fingers to wan
der DER the keys, touching now and then
a rich minor chord, or ever and anon
breaking out into ten der little Rhapsody
that watts one away to the realms of
harmony, makes them dream of far
away isles of the sea, where wanton
breezes WOO the rich exotic flower Of the
tropics, or fan the heated brow of the
aromatic negro, engae ed in Sesting be-
meath the nodding palms.
Then wild longing and great yearn-
ing fills the heart, the cold, hard realities
of life fade away, ant the soul wanders
at sweet will in tnose realms where
want and pain and trouble and duns are
unknown. Anon / toss my head back,
the ravishing strains Of music seeming
as if they would crush the body and
hberate the soul, buC Just as / get to
feeling pretty good can't find a certain
letter, and then the melody is jerked up
onto its launches almost and the effect
is all lost.
Once, not very long ago, was practic-
ing on one of Ella Whe eler Wilcox's sweet
compositions. Twas running through it
In careless manner, and this was the
theme:
Dear love, il you and cpuld sail away
With snowy pennons u the world unfurled
Across the water To some unknown bay
And find some island Z ar from all tho world;
If we could dwell there evermore alone
While unrecorded years slipped by apace-
/ had gotten thus far, when suddenly
discovered that there was no upper case
Z in the instrument l was Using. !
searched for it, but In vain. Cropping
wildly over the keys, hunted here and
there and everywhere, but it was not to
be found. thought of reporting it at
the central police station, and of organic
ing relief expedition, when suddenly !
wandered off into little extemporane-
Gus composition of my own and added
this to it:
DO you think that they ould miss us when we'd
gone?
And, by the way, what would we eat in such q
placer
Ofcourse, this had the effect of marring,
to a certain extent. tie beauty and finesse
of the recital, but when the typewriter
proved SO faithless aud so traitorous as
TO allow me to get half way through the
selection before l discovered that the
maker had left out several letters of the
alphabet l had to fir ish the solo in some
way.-Toledo Blade!

DURANGO, Colo. July 1b.-Perhaps the
most phenomenal electrical freak on rec

of men in ~ camp took refuge from a

them was a Mexican. One of the trees
was struck by lightning, completely strip
ping it of branches and rending the trunk
from the top to about six feet of the roots,
when the current left the tree and struck
the Mexican on the head, running down
one side Of his face. over his shoulder.

around one leg, aud out through the shoe
Its Eject on the Mexican.
His face was badly burned and the
course of the current over him was marked
by red brand. His clothes were torn
from him and the sole of the shoe COM
pletely torn off. He lay apparently dead,
and was left by his companions at that
place until the storm was over. After ly-
ing in the rain for two hours he was re-
suscitated, and walked into camp, and is
now on the streets bearing the frightful
evidence of his most wonderful escape
He is as we'll rs ever, save for the burn.
