It will be remembered that Mr.
Whymper, who had severe succession
Of falls once in the Alps, without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatically
that as he bounded from one rock to an
other he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens on the battlefield;
the entrance Of the bullet into the body
is not felt, and it is not till he feels the
blood flowing or limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by fall do not know which limb
is broken till they try to rise. At the
moment of fall the whole intellectual
activity is increased to an extraordinary
degree. There is not trace Of anxiety.
One considers quickly what viii happen.
This is by no means the consequence Of
presence OF mind" it is rather the
product Of absolute necessity. Asolemn
composure takes possession Of the VIC
tim. Death by fall is q beautiful one.
Great thoughts fill the victims soul;
they fall painlessly into great blue sky.

HE BEAT THE RECORD.

How o Denver Man Was Engaged to q
Girl Before He Proposed to Her.
Five or six Of the hotel guests were
seated out under the trees one evening
talking about the folly Of long engage
ments.
"rll tell you what" spoke up young
man, pulling his hat over his eyes, a. he
lazily swung in the hammock. II was
only engaged to my wife two months
and we were married three months after
we met"
"My sister," returned q pretty girl,
"only knew her husband three weeks
and they were only engaged two weeks. I"
SIS she happyf' asked some one.
"Oh, perfectlyl The young man met
her on the street one day and declared
that she was the very girl for him. Oh,
it was 90 romantic!"
"This only helps to prove my theory, I"
said an old maid of the party, with a
reminiscent look. "It is a mistake to
wait too long"
Zone Of my friends" chimed in a
sprightful voice, answered q personal
in a New York paper, and three days
later the couple met by appointment.
Would You believe it, they were married
the next day!"
~ know true story that beats that,
spoke up western girl, who evidently
wished to keep up the reputation Of her
state in the story line. "a man whom
knew well was going from Austin to
town about forty miles distant In
front Of him sat q pretty girl with whom
he struck up an acquainsauca The girl
intended to change cars at the station
which was the young mans destination.
But just think of it! When they reached
that town they stepped off the train as
lively as you please, got license and
the knot was tied in jiffy-less than
an hour after the couple met"
A blond young man in labor saving
attitude, who had been listening with
considerable interest, drawled:
II know of case that in its way is
quite as interesting. It started out well.
never heard how it ended"
'Do tell It'll" spoke up several at once,
as the young man seemed about to re-
lapse into thoughtfulness again.
"a girl know was engaged to fell
low an hour before he was engaged to
her."
"ImpossibleI' exclaimed several.
How did it happen"
well, he lived in Denver, she in Bos-
tom, and che answered Yes by tele-
graph"
The blond young man looked reflect
lively at the crowd. They looked mourn
fully at him. and one by one they stole
back into the hotel.-New York Herald.
