HIS FIRST PARACHUTE DROP.
4 Point of View different From That
of the Terrestrial Observer.

of the Terrestrial Observer.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The great balloon which was to bear me
on my first journey up into the azure
heights, and from which l was to make
my maiden leap with parachute, was
Juggling at its moorings upon the broad
lawn. / confess that Il was with some
nervousness / took my seat IN the little
car beside Joseph Norcross, a skilled
aeronaut who had from dizzy heights
made many and many fight earthward
through the air with this same balloon
he had during the past year safely made
sixty-seven ascensions and had each time
successfully descended with the parachute
SO why should / fear?
Norcrcss smilingly welcomed me, and as
he gave order to cast loose the line and
the mon on the ground released the great
aerial traveller, ! felt myself ahoat in a
little beat upon an ether sea. There was
no sudden jolt or jaw about 1t, is cleverly
was the release effected. Putting my head
over the side of the car. / looked below
and was surprised, for. apparently, we
were not ascending. but the great world
with all her glory of green and gold was
dropping from US away down into space.
/ looked in pleased Amusement upon the
earth kept receding Norcross smiled.
Then gazed upward at the great bird
like balloon soaring trtumphantly on.
Again / looked down, and the houses ana
barns seemed TO crouch closer to the
ground and the villages to cluster to-
gether. Streams and lakes at last looked
Ike mere thread or blots of silver. Away
in the north the range Of mountain looked
like an emerald wall. while that dark
blur on the earth below was the thriving
and DOpulous county seat We were far
from the world. Suddenly we were in a
cold drizzly rain, and the earth was shut
from view. / inquiringly looked at Nor

attracted my serious attention to the bal
loon Suppose It should spring a leak or

STOLE A HOUSE.
Was an Actual Occurrence, md Was
Successful.

From the New York Press.
The history of crime contains many In
stances OF GOODNESS and generaship
worthy of a better cause, but probably
none more remarkable than that shown by
smart burglar, or gang of burglars, who
successfully carried into effect most dar-
ing scheme in London some twenty years
ago, and then escaped with their plumber
and defied detection.
The house which they selected as the
scene OF their operations was in a quiet
and respectable" part Of CamberwelL Its
tenant was a gentleman In fair position.
who was 80 unfortunate as TO have an in
valid wife. In consequence OF this he one
year found II necessary TO let her winter
abroad, and decided to dismiss his ser
wants and to lock up the house while he
took her to the south Of Europe, and saw
her comfortably settled down there.
Shortly after his departure fashionably
dressed man of good appearance called
upon firm OF furniture dealers and in
structed them TO sell for him by auction
a complete house full of furniture, as he
proposed having his house rebuilt, and
furnished by them throughout In more
modern fashion. The address Re gave was
that OF the house which was for the time
being, unoccupied. The sale was adver-
tised, and, in due course, carried out,
everything being done so openly and regu-
larry that no suspicion was aroused In the
neighborhood.
The sum realized was a fairly large one.
and substantial check was handed to the
supposed vendor. The plan having been
successful so far, the next step taken was
even more daring.
The same Individual called upon firm
Of housebreakers, to whom he said that
he intended TO have his house--giving par
ticulars Of the same unfortunate residence
pulled down, and an entirely new one
built on the site, according 10 plans especl-
ally prepared. They thereupon undertook
TO demOlish the house, and, as is usual
IN such cases paid him a sum down for
the materials
Had there not been the difficulty Of title
deeds to get over, he would no doubt have
gone still further, and sold even the plot
OF ground itself AS il was. with the
equivalent of his two checks in his pocket,
the individual and his accomplices-if he
had any-completely vanished, and all
subsequent efforts to trace them proved
fruitloss.
When the tenant returned. after what
was not very long absence, his astonish-
ment at finding only hole in the ground
where he had left a well furnished house
must have been great. At any rate, II Is
doubtful If a better planned or a more
successful robbery was ever carried out.

A well known congressman, who had
been a farmer before he went into poll
tics, was visiting his district not long

a stumpy patch of ground trying to get
a pillow through, says the. Youths Com

a brief salutation, asked the privilege Of
making turn or two with the plow
The native shook his mead doubtfully as
he looked at his visitors store clothes and
general air of elegant leisure, but he let
him take the pillow. The congressman
sailed away with II in fine style and
plowed four or five burrows before the

Our Country is the Best.


When people go from Southeast
Missouri to look for a better country
they are disappointed, no matter to
what part of the country they go.
They may gosNorth, South, East or
West and they viii find no section of
country that will compare with South
east Missouri. Here We have all that
mortal man wants here below. Here
we have the soil. Here we have as
genial climate as can be found in any
section of country. Here we have an
abundance OF everything that goes to
make a prosperous and happy people.
This is the poor mans paradise. 1t
is the country for the home seeker if
he wants to live at home and live
easy.
There is no other section of country
in tie Union where land can be had at
figures within the reach of the poor
man and there is no section of country
that has better land than we have here
in Southeast Missouri.

A Sarcastic school Ma'am.

The following interesting sketch is
told by a long suffering country school
ma am: ''The requirements of the
country school teacher are not numer-
Gus. She must be a primary, inter-
mediate, grammar grade high school
teacher combined; she must be able to
build fires, adjust, fallen stovepipes,
put in window panes. sweep, dust,
split kindling, drive a horse, keep out
of the neighborhood ~quarrels, know
how and where to whip a bad boy, un-
derstand the school laws, raise money
for libraries, keep all kinds OF records,
plant trees on Arbor day, be of good
moral character and pass an exami-
nation in all the branches of modern
education. For all these accomplish
ments she receives $50 a month. Think
of a girl getting that salary. Out of
this she pays her board, buys her
clothes, buys educational papers and
books, attends county conventions
and furnishes slate pencils for the
pupils. What is left she adds to her
bank account or starts a bank if she
prefers. Unless something is done to
reduce the wages, shool teachers will
have a monopoly of the country. and
we shall ind in our midst a labor or
g~anization which will menace our free
institutions and enslave our tax pay
ers."
