One Mans Nzishaps.

Nelson Tribune.
There is a man now working on Toad
mountain who is highly respected by all
who know him. His has been life of
accidents. Some of his experiences are
as follows:
IL was sliding on the crust when boy
and slid over the fence. running stake
into me and making bad wound. Once,
when my mother was making soap. [
saw a dipper of what l thought was
water, and drank three swallows. 1t
proved to be a strong lye. My mother
melted some tallow and gave it to me.
and the doctors said that was all that
saved my life. Four times ] came
near getting drowned. twice breaking
through the ice into the river, once
falling from raft into the mill pond,
and once l fell out of boat into
the river. l was nearly killed twice by
being thrown from horses, fell from
loaded team to the frozen ground and
was picked up for dead. and fell out of
a wagon and had leg caught between
the spokeS OF one Of the wheels. Once
/ was driving a covered wagon when
the stanchion bolt came out, letting the
body down. The rein hook caught rue
in the forehead. tearing a great cash,
and when fell out struck my head
on the axle. Twice L fell twelve feet
from staging: once fell down trap
in carriage house on pile Of boards
below and started rib. l stepped OH q
scythe and cut my foot badly, and a
Gaze of ice fell on my foot and burst
open one of my toes, cut my ankle very
badly with an ak; broke ii needle in my
heel, which was not removed for two
months. and stepped on tenpenny nail
and drove it into my foot, making bad
wound, from which pieces of the shoe
aud stocking were removed, and which
had to be cut open and the bone
scraped. l had a windlass rope break
when trusting up a bucket, and it broke
out two of my teeth. l have been
blown up once when firing shots and
badly burned three times. My hand
was caught in the feed roll of picker.
Iwas badly hurt once with a circular
saw and again with a buzz planer; fell
on an eighteen-inch belt when it was
running, and on top of four-foot gear
When it was running, twice have fallen
downstairs in mill, the first time hurt
ing my back badly, the second time
starting three of my ribs. In the sum-
mer of 1890 had a tree fall on me and
have not recovered from my Injuries

GALVIN'S MEN LEFT
When Soldiers Surrounded the
Train They Had Captured.

When Soldiers Surrounded the
Train They Had Captured.
COLUMBUS. o., April 2S.-lt was a
surprise, says special, to the Calvin
army at 1870 this morning when De-
tective John Mahoney and his men
asked item to vacate the train. When
he presented his commission. showing
that he represented the governor, who
had given him special power, i'll accord
ance with law, The CoXevites laughed at
him. They refused to hear the COM
mission read. They met ali demands in
the name of the state with boots and
Jeers. Mahoney wired these facts to the
governor. and said.that unless instructed
otherwise. he would proceed TO put the
men off the trainby force at daybrcak.
He was instructed 10 do nothing, and at
a. IN. Attorney General Richards and
Adjt. Gen. Ituaye arrived at the train.
After consultation with them, Scott
ChenOWetli, Sh0fiM Of Madison county,
ordered the men off the train. The
order was kindly made. Calvin said lie
had no control over the men, and was
poWerless TO do anything. The sheriff
and the state officials then walked along
each ear and ordered the men on each
to leave the train. This having been
done, Attorney General Richards adj
dressed the men. He told them Cheno-
weth was sheriff of Madison county and
had the power of the law behind him,
and if he failed the state of Ohio
would force them to vacate. Troops
from Columbus arrived at Mount Ster-
ling at 1910 p. m. Adjt. Gen. Howe
immediately took command. At 1920
O'Clock troops mounted the cars. The
Galvinites scrambled out and the train
moved away. No shots were fired.

Chicago on a Map of 1918.

Chicago Tribune.
President Harper, of the University
of Chicago. has lately received quaint
map of the world. On the frame is a
gilded plate bearing German inscrip-
ton, which, translated means:
1.-The oldest appearance of the name
Chicago - 'Chilaga'-on an engraved
marble slab. prepared by the court
carpenter. Hans Schieferstein, in the
year 1915. Royal Historical museum,
at Dresden. Germany.V
The map was presented to President
Harper by DR.. Charles Richter, the i'm
perial German representative commits
sioler to the worlds fair. The follow
ing letter OF presentation accompanies
the map:
when during the early preparatory
stages of the exposition work efforts
were made, mainly upon the instigation
of Mr.. Curtis, to collect maps and
other kindred documents having ref
erence to the age of the discovery of
America, it happened that writing
desk was found among the royal Saxon
collection of Dresden on which there
was an ivory plate with a map engraved
in it showing the map of the world as
ii was known in the year Of our Lord
1915. the year when the engraving was
done.
ut is a remarkable fact-that is OF
special interest to the student of the
history of Chicago-that at the exact
point where this marvellous city is now
located settlement is marked by the
name of 'Chilaga.' Its resemblance to
the one now in vogue justifies the sup
position that from it emanated the
present denomination of the great
emporium of the West. Should this
superstition be correct. it is most likely
that on this map the name of Chicago
in its original form appears for the first
time"
The map is an interesting study
many respects. The long strip of land
at the south represents Australia. The
continent of North America is longer
east aud west than north and south.
There is chain of mountains in the
Mississippi valley, and here rises the
st. Lawrence river. Upon the river is
situated ''Chilaga," and the Great
Lakes do not appear on the map.

Detroit Free Press.
We were talking about human nature
farmers in particular, when the man
who was travelling for button factory
sagely observed:
Yes. the average farmer is queer

contrary, he suspects everybody of in

of the crowd.
II think can prove it to you in ten

then, look at this watch and estimate

HE handed out the watch and chain,
and they were passed from hand to

| the cHain was solid gold, and the lowest
| estimate WAS $500.

He started out in company with the

about the first man they came to on

| farmer who had been to Cleveland and
had two new ax-helveS in the seat be-
side him. The button man held out the
watch and said:
MY friend, am hard up and want
to sell this stuff. Look at it,"
"Dou't want it," replied the farmer.
"But must have money. Watch and
chain cost me $500. How much will you
give me?'
Don't want to buy"
''But take them in your hand and
examine them. Even a child could
estimate their value. l ought 10 get at

1t had to be explained to the farmer
that it all came about on a wager, but
he was pigheaded about it. and the
button man had to hand him a ten-dol-

queried the loiler as he pOcketed the

A BRAVE WOMAN
Who Will Journey Into the Very
Jaws of Death.

Who Will Journey Into the Very
Jaws of Death.
San Francisco Special. Aprii7
Six months ago the schooner Mary
Brown sailed forth from Sand Point,
Alaska, with a fair wind for the south.
She had her full crew aboard, including
Capt. Frank NJ. Gatfney, and as
passenger she carried James
l.. O'Brien, the Lynde &c Hough COM
pany's agent, who had done much to.
ward building up the trading station at
Sand Point, which is an insignificant
port where hunters and merchants com
together and barter in peltS and flu
and fish, and goodness knows what not.
A gale blew down the coast few
days later and SeafarerS say that it
caught the Mary Brown. Anyhow. the
schooner never again saw a civilized
port. and the odds are that she Cap
sized aud sunk with all hands in the
gale. Nevertheless, there is one woman
at any rate who hopes to see James
OBrien again, though he was to a
certainty lost in the catastrophe
whereof no living man can tell the full
particulars. That woman is Mrs. r. Ii.
hazleton. of 42O Ellis street, San Fran
cisco, who left Victoria. B. G., Thurs.
day last. In search of traces of the lost
schooner. Mrs. Hazleton is James
O'Brien's sister. and she thinks she will
see him again. Two searching vessels
failed to find any trace of the missing
vessel.
The steamer Danube was scheduled
to Sail from Victoria on Thursday last
for the farther North, and on it she Sc
cured a passage to whatever might be
the nearest port to Banks island. At
that port she will disembark and 90 the
rest of the way as best She can
Oh foot, horseback or canoe, with
only the Indians to guido her.
The difficulties she must encou-
ter should she pursue the quest to the
end are immense. The waters she must
navigate in dugouts or birch-bark bat
teaux are unutterally perilous. 1t is
journey into the jaws of death after
men who have.in all human probability,
persisted long ago; but Mrs. HaZleton,
undaunted by the ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
sailor men and traders, has decided up
on venturing it alone.
