QUEER THINGS DO HAPPEN.


An Unvarnished Recital OF the Advent
ures of Fall River Urehin.
A boy with wonderful capacity for cold
water made kind of Noak's ark time o:
It for people who dwell around the South
park. There is all standripe near the
park, where the sprinkling carts load up,
and the pressure from the pond at that
point is sonnet hing like million pounds TO
the square inch. Just what possessed the
aforesaid boy TO climb that standpipe
while the band was playing gsyly in the
band stand will probably never be known.
Possibly he had found life too slow at
the drinking fountain, and it may be he
didn't think that be could do the stand
pipe any harm. At any rate he Skinned
up and began monkeyinG with the cap at
the top. A full grown man with cold steel
appliances would undoubtedly have ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in I'M
fastening that cap, but the foot high urchin
found il easy enough. HIS accomplishment
will surprise him TO the end of his days.
He was bending directly over the pipe,
stomach down, when the last thread of the
cap screw was loossned.
There was a swish and roar, and the
million pound pressure sent a volume Of
water a thousand feet into the air. 1t
would have been a magnificent spectacle
but for one feature which froze the blood
in the veins of the assembled multitude
As far as the eye could reach, and almost
at the very top of the tower of water. a
tiny speck slowly revolved. Ii was the
small boy. helpless, and feebly waving his
hands and feet in his terror.
Fortunately the tremendous force sup
ported him, and the centrifugal power con-
vexing toward the sides of the torrent
kept him in the middle. II was wet work
looking on, but for few seconds nobody
dared to move. Then brave member of
the police department recovered his pres
ence Of mind and darted to the Park house
telephone. A little later Superintendent
Kieran, of the water works, arrived on the
scene, pale but determined
The same thought seemed to inspire the
crowd at the same moment, for 500 voices
exclaimed: You must let him down easy!"
Superintendent Kieran needed no such
warning. He knew that TO shut of the
supply suddenly meant q terrible fall for
the half drowned lad, who had ceased to
move up there among the stars, and with
touch as light as a woman's he began to
turn back the swift tide in the main artery
Inch by inch the tower of water dimin-
ished; inch by inch that small speck of hu-
manity descended. The excitement was at
concert pitch. Everybody spoke in hoarse
whispers. Finally joyous cheer rang out
The urchin was thirty feet from the ground,
and scores Of arms were eutstretched to re-
ceive him. Stand steadym was the order,
and the last spoonful of water was turned
off, and the boy dropped safely into the
network of hands. THAT beats balloons
he said. as he wiped his face with his drip
ping sleeve.-Fall River Globe.

THE REUNION.
The Work at the Park Yesterday--PromInent
Men to be In Attendance

Riverside park was busy place yester-
day. The committees at work on the re-
union program were out in full force.
Tents were being erected for the old bows
and furnaces being built to prepare the
grub" The many hundreds of pounds
of meat were placed within reach. The OK
performance was being prepared. Lon
Holding had charge of training work. 1t
is said movement No consists in cutting
off a slice of OK; No. 2, scrimmage for salt
and pepper: No. 3. some bread to mix; Nos.
and 8, one time in two motions resulting
in part of OK disappearing. 1t is thought
the performance will be first class exhi-
bition.
Some of the old soldiers arrived last
evening The threatening weather of yes
terday was enough TO cause much fear
from that source Last evening DIR. John
son, of the signal service, stated that the
prospects for today would be clear and
cooler. Cool, fair weather probable for the
reunion. 1t is hoped the indications tell
the story correct and everything will be
favorable.
A letter was received from Ex-Governor
Robinson stating that he would attend the
reunion Wednesday 1t has been reported
that Governor Humphrey would not be
present but he will be on hand Wednesday
as will also the Hon. Lew Hanback, and ex-
Governor George T. Anthony. Mr.. An
thony is expected to arrive this morning
In the event of favorable weather there
is no doubt that an immense crowd will
be present.

THE LIVE STOCK ENUMERATION.

The Hon. j. G. Mccoy, special agent in
charge of taking the live stock enumera-
ton on the range and who some time ago
was nominated by the Democrats in Okla
homa for congress, spent Sunday in the
city and left yesterday for the campaign
work. He insists that his department
shall not suffer because of the fact he will
appropriate couple of weeks at least to
the campaign.
MIR. Mccoy reports all the agents in the
field making clever returns and that work
getting along nicely. His trip of inspec
ton took him along the northern route to
Washington and back by Salt Lake, down
in New Mexico, covering a big country,
seeing the agents and the class of work
being done. OF the twenty-five days
absence twenty-four were spent on the
train. 1t is thought it will be some
months yet before the returns in the de-
partment will be made.

NO COUNCIL QUORUM.

There was a call for special meeting of
the city council to be held last evening,
but quorum failed to appeal There
were present members Carson, Buckridge,
johnson, Coffin, Martin and Mosbacher,
but the mayor concluded quorum would
not be present owing to the much weather
and did not report. The object was to
consider the park proposition and such
other business as might demand attention.
The park matter was settled some days
ago and next to that one of the most in
teresting topics as estimated would be the
report of the committee on street naming.
The special committee having that matter
under consideration, has report COM
pleted and is at liberty TO report at the
earliest opportunity.

Things Which Attract Men.

What attracts man is one thing; what
will hold him and command his respect is
quite another
A wCman's smile, for example, attracts
man; but an even temper retains him.
pretty gown attracts man; the knowl-
edge that IL was inexpensive delights him.
Apleassnt manner attracts man; bright
ness of brain holds bin.
A knowledge of how, when and where TO
be little stately attracts man: an sppre-
citation OF the folly Of frivolity wins his re-
spect.
A respect for the -eligious belief OF every
human being attracts msu; irreverence
in woman is TO him abominable.
A consideration for his comfort attracts
a man; a continuation Of this makes him
your most humble slave.

THE TRAVELLING MEN MEET.
The Wichita Travelling Mems Association Or
Standardization OF Onicers and Object
OF Organization.

For some time the travelling men repre-
senting Wichita wholesale houses have
contemplated forming an organization for
the purpose of beneftting themselves and
the Wichita trade. There are over 100
active young men who go out from WITCH
tia concerns. 1t was thought to be Rene
fetal to form an organization and could
work for each other in many WAYS. A
customer wanting anything in any line
represented at Wichita could be informed
of the fact, and in addition the men repre-
sentlng such houses could also be notified.
This was generally conceded to be a good
plan, working to the advantage of all con-
cerned, and hence a meeting was
called for the parlors Of the
Carey Sunday afternoon. There were
present over fifty of the Wichita force and
after general discussion it was decided to
form an organization to be known as the
Wichita Travelling Mems association.
Officers were elected for the ensuing year
as follows:
A. H. Weed, president; f. E. Koch, first
vice president; G. w. Jordon, second vice
president.
Secretary, L. W. Miner.
Treasurer, B. +. hartman.
Board of trustees-Charles Reckmeyer,
r. Simmons, A. Klein, c. H. Mcknight,
II. G. Walker, e. a Stevenson, w. H.
Overman, Louis Herman, c. B. Bennett
The association adjourned to meet at the
same place on the first Saturday evening
in November, at which time they will after
business have an oyster supper.
