A party Of seven consisting Of married
couple from Buda-P esth, another from Ham
burg, and lady and two gentlemen from
Vienna, started to cross the St. Wolfgang
lake They had rowed safely to the middle
of the lake when they observed, to their
alarm, that the boat was slowly filling
with water. The danger was imminent
and the ferryman declared that the boat
would have to be lightened Of some of its
burden, otherwise 1t would inevitably be
swamped and the passengers drowned.
without more ado the young lady from
Vienna sprang into the water, dressed as
she was, and swan the whole distance, a
couple of leagues, by the side of the boat
By this means they got safe to shore, by
which time the boat was three parts filled
with water. But for the young lady's cour-
age and resolution all the rest of the COM
pany would have met with a watery grave,
as none Of them could swim.-Illustrirtes

this by studying the habits and hauuts OF

Shot While Going For a Doctor.

It was in Pittsburg some seven years
ago that my wife woke me up one night
and said that our little boy was very
sick and would l go for a doctor. l said
of course would, and slipping into my
clothes l grabbed my hat and started
out. When l reached the first corner, l
passed a stranger who was running the
other way. 1 cut diagonally across the
street and ran toward the center of
town. Pretty soon heard footsteps
some distance back, and then several
shots were fired. felt as though some
one had thrown stone and struck me
on the leg, but l couldn't run any more
worth cent. l stumbled down and
then drawing myself up put my hand
where l felt the pain and found that my
leg was moist with blood. l easily real
lied that l was shot. The possessor of
the revolver drew up before me painting
for breath and exclaimed, You will rob
people, will your 1t was policeman.
began to upbraid him most thoroughly.
Explanations nor execrations did not
help the matter any, and was taken in
a patrol to the station. repeated my
story and insisted that doctor should
be sent to my house. The desk sergeant
finally did as wished, and our family
doctor called at the house, and later
came by the station. 1t did not take me
long to convince the station officers that
was not the party, and was set at lib
erty and removed to my home. When 1
was able to get around again, sued the
city for $1,000, and got it.-Interview

Oneer Perfnrmnnce.

Several years ago Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awOke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace Of his
missing garment. A great number OF
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had fer some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised TO observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him
self Of his only garment, seized a pitch
fork and buried the linen in n dunghill
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
tC his bed. In the morning the baronet,
incredulous at what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
ging for some time found several shirts
