TRAGEDY IN A SHOP WINDOW.
A Lovely Girl Breaks Her Back by
a Fall From Il Wheel.

A Lovely Girl Breaks Her Back by
Fall From Il Wheel.
1t has only been a few days since
a handsome. athletic-looking young
woman took possession Of a large slow
window of the shopping district. She
IA dressed in Il jaunty tailor-made
suit, with boots and leggings to match.
An Alpine hat was perched upon her
golden hair, and her elegantly gloved
hands lightly touched the bar of a
bicycle.
The self-possession of the woman
elected much admiration. For three
days the brave woman pedaled on,
resting only when the day was gone
Not until the beginning of the fourth
day did the crowd in front of the Win
dow notice that her lovely shoulders
had begun to drOop and the bright blue
eyes look sad.
'She's riding herself to DEATH" said
Il Jersey "Catch me letting
my girls get pay for showing off a
bike"
A day or two later when the severe
hot weather visited the city, the III
age of the woman on the wheel de-
serted her. The glance of her bright
eyes became a CLASSY stare, her face
became shrunken, and then the roses
on her cheek faded, II hand dropped
l~istlessly at her side, and her tiny foot
was gradually losing the pedal.
A small boy shouted; Ring fur de
amberlance. De peach on de bikes
done fer" Fol the beautiful woman
had fallen and broken her back, and
the blonde head was resting OH the
handle bar.
The pedals went serenely on, how
ever. for the machine was wound up
for the day and could not stop. The
excitement outside was intense, and no
one knows what might have happened
had not the manager of the store
pulled down the blue curtain and taken
the lady off up stairs to be retouched,
for she was built of wax.-Philadel-
phia Times.

A curious and slightly-known fact
is that it is impossible to move the eye
while looking ut its reflection in q
mirror. The eye is the most movable
part of the face, yet if you try to look
at it and move it the thouSandth part
of an inch you will be baked in your
purpose. The moment you ~endeavOr
to perceive the motion of the eye it
becomes fixed. That is why a per-
sons expression as he sees himself in
the glass is entirely different from the
one by which his friends recognize
him, SAYS the Atlanta Constitution.

WHERE 1T is o
High Temperature In the Depths of
Office Building Easements.

"Say, if you people think this is hot
you ought to have my job for about a
week and then see what you'd have to
say" said a tall, thin man to a group
of perspiring uDfortunates who stood
on one of the down town corners one
afternoon during the recent hot spell.
why, what do you do?" came the
query from one of the swelter-
ing ones almost too overcome to be
curious.
I'm an oiler in the engine room of
that big building. And say, this air
out here is a picnic to what we get
down there. If you fellows think 80

Cooks house, 1--WE had no business to
Try to find Eph's tree"
Eph had Molly at the gate, and he
invited the boys, who were tired and
hungry, to ride home with him, and
he even promised not to tell OF them
at Pudd's Hollow. But the story got
out, and although this happened
years ago, and Frank and Con and
Fred are now grown men, they have
never heard the last of it.
1t may also be said that, from that
day forward, none of the boys at
Pudd's Hollow twitted Eph about his
age.-ChiCago Record.

The nine bandits who have been ter
rorizing the Southwest have been pur-
sued and hemmed in at a small place
known as Skeleton Canon in Arizona.
AS about all the cowboys of that part
of the southwest are determined to
capture the bandits, dead or alive, the
scene of the proposed conflict has an
appropriately gloomy name. The for
ests of Skeleton Canon will probably
make no bones about exchanging shots.

Every boy n Weather Prophet.

EVERY 10y n weather
There is no reason why every boy.
or girl, either, for that matter, should
not be his own weather prophet. It is
a simple matter to make d cheap but
Serviceable little barometer which will
foretell nearly all the changes in the
weather. And that's q good deal of
advantage if you happen to be going
fishing or camping.
Buy one ounce each of camphor,
saltpeter and ammonia salts at some
drug store, and dissolve them In about
thirteen drachms of alcohol. Shake
the mixture well and pour it into n
long, narrow bottle, which must then
be corked tightly and sealed, so as to
prevent air from getting inside.
Hang this barometer on the north
side of the house, and here are the
weather indications that it will tell
you about:
Absolute clearness of the liquid de-
notes fair weather.
If the liquid becomes disturbed or
roily, as we say, 1t is a sign of rain.
If downy masses form in the bottom
of the bottle, it will freeze, or at least
the thermometer will descend: the
more these masses rise to the top the
more rigorous will the cold become.
Little stars in the liquid foretell a
hard storm.
Thrcad-like objects on the top of the
bottle indicate wind.

Sand-Piper, ESQ.

IpeE, ESQ.
If you live on the Jersey coast, or
any of the neighborihg ones, and wake
UP on a September morning with a
good southeastern, which has been
blowing since the preceding evening,
rafting around your windows, accom-
panied by drizzle, get up and put on
your shooting "togs," oil your gun
we'll, and prepare for a good days
sport. The birds do not fly in the high
wind, and will almost always come up
into the coast bays and rivers to feed
on the overlooked meadows that such
storms produce.
1t is a-rather difficult thing to deter
mine ON what kind Of ground yon will
find the shipe; some days they will be
found iii great abundance in one To-
cality, and the day after hardly n
bird will be seen. The weather has
something to do with this, and by a
careful study of it Some idea may be
gained as to where to find the birds,
though this will not always prove reli-
able.
When the wind in a storm is not too
high the birds usually remain on the
sea beach; but when it is violent you
will run a pretty fair chance of tind=
ing them inland. During the south
easter mentioned, if the wind is rath-
er high and there is a heavy tide, the
sand piper likes nothing better than to
spend the day padding around on the
flooded salt meadows, picking up the
little worms and bugs that have been
soaked out of their homes in the grass
and soil. Here you will find them in
large tiocks, travelling by short flights
from one end of the meadow to the
other. showing very little disposition
to move oil. But above all, his happi-
ness seems wholly complete If he can
find a meadow on which the grass has
been cut but not collected in mows at
the time of the overflow. The floating
grass affords a refuge for all the
washed-out bug inhabitants of the
meadow. and the snipe make the most
of the rare treat offered. This kind Of
Notwithstanding is very pleasant. as
the bird will not fly far when flushed,
and it is possible to follow d flock all
around the meadow, securing several
good shots before 1t takes fight for
good. The sedge islands at the
mouths of rivers and bays are great
feeding grounds when the wind is
not sc high, and the tide not sufficient
to flood the tields.-aarper's Round
Table.
