A GERM AN JOKE.
Aeronautic Flight of the Fat Landlord of
the White Rose Inn.

A balloon ascension without parallel in
German aeronautics took place near
Stockerau recently The day before Joseph
Strohschneider, aeronaut and rope-walker.
had announced that he and Carl Pramper,
the landlord of the village tavern ''the
White Rose" would ascend on the fol-
lowing afternoon.
Now anyone knew that Strohschneider
rode only on trapeze in all his ascents,
and that Pramper was not an expert on
his apparatus. Moreover, Pramper was
thick-set and had family. The reckless
ness of the undertaking was SO apparent
that the police were at once appealed to by
Prampers wife and friends and he was
officially forbidden to make the ascent.
The police failed, however, to take meas
ures to enforce his order and so Lhe next
day Pramper appeared with Strohschnei-
der on the platform before the assembled
population of the district miles around,
who had heard of the daring feat promised
by the aeronaut and the white Rose
landlord
AS the balloon was being filled a great
hue and cry was raised against Pramper s
ascent and tie crowd evidentially became
so turbulent in it's demonstrations that
Strohschneide1 had to make haste to es-
cape being mobbed. Only Pramper was
cool. When the balloon was ready he re-
tired to lean-to reappeared a minute
later in aeronant's costume and then with
white face and shaking limbs. shot up on
the trapeze with Strohschneider.
There was shouts of eXec-atlon, Mrs.
Pramper and her two daughters tainted,
and every one else watched in mortified
suspense the soaring balloon. 1t slipped
away toward Leizcrdorf. The crowd
pushed madly along under it, running rid
ing, driving, and all shouting vainly for
Strohschneider to descend, for Pramper
was Sc, to be losing his courage, and his
legs and arms wre dangling over the ropes
of his perch.
Halfway between Stockerau and Lett
zersdorf the hurrying crowd could see that
Pramper and Strohschneider were quarrel
ing. The gesture of the aeronaut became
more violent, till he evidently struck hls
companion blow in the face and topped
him from the trapeze. The figure OF the
landlord came whirling down. The crowd
gave one great groan of horror and then
was still. When his body struck, all ex-
cept the faint;ng women hurried to the
spot The mutilated, bleeding, and almost
unacceptable remains OF Pramper We're
not there-only cleverly made etfigy OF
him, dressed in his everyday clothes.
Strohschneider had stripped the landlord
to clothe the effigy in the little lean-to at
Stockerau, and the portly landlord, instead
of having endured all The hono1s of an
aerirl life and death fight, was sitting In
his underclothes in Strohschneider' S
draughty dresssing-room anxiously await
ing the proper return of his proper gar
