We find in Mr.. Dawson's reply nothing

have conferred upon it no authority 10

But the New York Times is right IN
u hiking that the governments notes

doing that would not avert from US the

They ere no more than the agencies
through which a diminished confidence

And 30 babel, Pive Years Old. Climbed to

the Top Of a Derrick and Back
OLEAN, y. y, Aug. 30-llabel. tho
hve-year-old daughter of John Vantine
of Bradford, was playing the other day
with Bobby Clay. a ltue boy of hen
own age. The two children had been out
d long time, when the mother Of fhe
little boy went 10 look for him. She
saw him on the floor of an oil well der
rick not iar away, and noticed that he was
gazing intenuy toward the TOD Of the
derrick She looked up. and was Mortified
To see Mabel perched on the pulley block
az the pinnacle Of the derrick. seventy
five feet from the ground The little girl
SAT az her ease on her perilous perch.
and was clapping her hands gleefully as
she looked down from the dizzy height az
her playmate below
The only way the child could have
reached that spot was by climbing n
perpendicular ladder from the floor OF the
derrick ieat Few men unused 10 doing
10 would care 10 undertake. The mother
OF the ht-le boy quickly regained her
presence Of mind and walked unconcerned-
ly 20 the derrick. fearing that any demon
strliion OF anxiety p fear on ner part
would alarm the tot on the pulley block.
and cause her 10 fan 10 certain death.
Mrs. Clay walked into the derrick and
when her little boy saw her, he exclaim-
ed
see Mabel. mamma? I said She didn't
dast 10 climb the ladder and she did "
The climbing OF the straight up and
down ladder 20 the top Of the derrick
was a dangerous enough feat for a child

from the top Of the ladder 10 the pulley
block was something stii harder. IL
seemed impossible for her 20 climb from
the block back 20 this ladder with safety.
With rare judgment Mrs. Clay pretended
10 be delighted with what Mabel had
done and laughed ard shouted words Of
praise. Then she said carelesslv.
Il bet sou can't come down so nicely
as you went up Mabel. Bobby says You
don't dare try"
Mabel laughed. and instantly let her
self from the pulley block TO the TOP round
Of the ladder and began the descent.
The little girl is round and chubby. and
her legs were hardly long enough 10
reach from one round TO the other. But
she let herself down without the slightest
show Of fear. and IN a short time was
safe at the bottom. Then tho reaction
came. and Mrs Clay tainted. Just as tho
mother Of Mabel. who had been out
looking for her child. came into the der
rick All the explanation the little girl
thinks It necessary TO give about her
amazing exploit is
