He had not been good at going up
stairs, but he could run his elevator,
Trip after trip he made, each worse thar
the last. The fireman at the bottom OF
the shaft to whom he turned over his
living freight sought to stop him in his
dangerous work. The whole well was
full of smoke, and far up toward the
roof the fire could be seen.
Still he kept ON, and it did seem that
every time he started skyward' he was
going to certain death. But he knew
that the rooms and halls were swarming
with people, and he would take any
chance to save a life. The firemen were
doing their best outside; death was busy
within; and he finally made up his mind
that it was no use to go back again, till
all at once he remembered that he had
seen nothing of his little friend.
Could he weather the storm and flame
once more? He could try. He pulled
the rope, and the journey began. 1t was

improvements in Divers Costume.


The well known French engineer, M.
Marcelhacy, has made some additional
improvements in diving apparatus, and
these have received the approving in.
dorsement of the French authorities. In
this arrangement, instead of the heavy
electric hand lamp employed originally
by divers, M. Marcelhacy's plan is to affiz
light but powerful glow lamp on the
top of the helmet, so that the divers
hands are both at all times free for work.
The lamp is connected by q conductor
with battery, either on shore or in q
vessel above, as the case may be.
An equally ingenious feature is new
method of connecting the helmet with
the dress without any loose parts, this
being effected by means Of only one
water tight joint instead of two, as in
the ordinary dress. Another advantage
presented In this device consists in the
upper part or collar of the India rubber
dress being gripped in between the lower
rim OF the helmet and the upper rim OF
the breastplate, and there held fast
against any liability of accident or dis
placement by gripping pieces attached
to the breastplate.-New York Sun.

Latest Fashion In Clothes and Children.
The small woman who fervently
prayed that there might be no "best
clothes" in heaven certainly ought not
to be unhappy now, for even the best
clothes are simple, and are made SO that
she can. move and be happy in them.
Silks, satins, laces and fummery ON chill
dren are only evidences of the folly Of
their mothers, for the wisest and
wealthiest women dress their children
in the simplest and plainest manner.

at five, or who are looking for microbes

those who dig in the sands for precious
stones, or build houses that are washed

ONE OF THE FIRST PIANOS MADE.

Interesting History of an Old Musical In.
strumont That Has Travelled.
In music store on Third street, be-
tween Marion and Columbia, there is an
old piano which attracts much attention.
The old musical instrument is of the
upright style and is in a fair state OF
preservation, though tits nearly one hun.
dred years old. 1t has keyboard with
white keys for the regular notes, and
black keys for the sharps and flats, just
like the pianos of today. These, when
deity touched, cause the ancient instru.
inent to discourse most eloquently.
No one could tell its great age by hear.
ing 1t played on. Its tones are still har-
monious and tuneful, though, of course
1t cannot be compared with the best
pianos of today, when volume or modula-
ton of tone is considered. Its front IL
ornamented with wooden scrollwork,
behind which is crimson cloth OF fine
texture. The frame on which the strings
are stretched is Of wood, while the frame
Of the modern piano is of iron. The
double row of keys is followed to this
day, and the interior construction is
much the same as in vogue at present.
The fact that the ancient instrument
is in such good state Of preservation is
u high tribute to the old time piano
makers. They built their instruments to
last. This is said not to be the case with
many of the present piano manufacturers
The superannuated instrument has an
interesting history. The Nineteenth
Century had counted off but three years
when it was bought by an English gen.
tleman for his family of the makers. J.
IL J. Hopkinson, of Regent street, Lon
don. 1t was made In the year 1902 and
sold in 1908. 1t passed as an heirloom
from one member Of the family to an
other until it came into the possession OF
n branch that left London for America
in the year 1864. The voyage was made
in the celebrated ship Robert Lowe.
During the voyage heavy gale was en-
countered, and the piano was washed
overheard with other things, but was
finally fished out Of the briny ocean.
The family that brought the instru-
ment to America settled at Victoria, b.
G., and they passed away one by one
until only two sisters were left. Finally
one of these died and the other became
insane with grief. Then it became nee
essary to administer on the estate Of the
sisters, and the piano was sold by order
of the probate court. The instrument
then fell into the hands Of gentleman
named johnson, who resided in Victo-
ria.
In 1869 Mr. johnson sold the instru-
ment to gentleman who had it in his
possession for the past twenty-five years.
During that period it has been at Port
Ludlow, Olympia, WILDLY Island and
Seattle. Once it was in fire, in which
5000 damage was done, and it was
saved. 1t was moved from Seattle to
Victoria twice. Finally the last owner
traded it off for an instrument of mod
ern make, giving good boot.--Seattle

he desired togo into business for him

departure, but bade him good luck. The
cashier marked in speculation and in

Compels a Passenger to Assist Him.
ELLENsBURG, June 16.-The stage
from Wenatchee arrived two hours a.
head of time today, the horses covered
with foam. The driver, William Hearn
excitedly announced that the stage had
been held up about noon by single rob-
Der near Summit, twenty-five miles from
here, who compelled the only passenger,
b. G. Carver, to alight and rip open the
mail bags, after compelling the driver to
throw them out. The latter was obliged
to remain on his seat and pick out the
registered packages. The robber allowed
the passenger to gather up the scattered
letters, and told the driver to go on.
The robber wore a black mask and car
ried revolver and shot gun. The driver
made remarkably accurate description
of the man, and officers are already at
work on the case, which seems possessed
OF mysterious features-eight registered
letters and packages, all from Wateryille,
are missing, and two leather mail bags
are badly slit. The driver declares that
this must have been the first job the
man ever attempted, as he trembled like
a leaf while doing it. The robbery oc-
curing as it did, in broad day light,
caused considerable excitement here.
