Saved by Her BlOOmera.

Chicago Dispatch to the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Thousands of people crowding along the
Chicago river in the vicinity of the Rush
street bridge. at 1890 o'clock this evening.
saw Louisa Olson, bloomer girl rescued
from what seemed to be certain death.
Miss Olsen. who Is about twenty-four years
of age. had been taking ride on her BIZ
cycle in Lincoln Park and was returning to
the South Side. Just as the party started
to cross the bridge 1t started to swing open
to give passage to the Christopher Colum-
bus. heavily crowded with excursionists re-
turning from q day in Milwaukee Warn
Ing was given to pedestrians and bicyclists
on the bridge by the officer stationed at its
south end, but Miss Olson rode on at full
speed.
When she reached the bridge 1t was al
most entirely open. Her wheel struck the
raised end used as a sidewalk and she went
into the air. Two men standing near grab
bed the wheel, but Miss Olson continued in
her flight and lit in the murky waters Of
the Chicago river. Buoyed by her bloomers,
she foated on top Of the water until one of
the boatmen on the Columbus reached over
with boathook, and. catching the young
woman in the strong part Of her bloomers,
hauled her aboard. The rescue was greeted
with great cheers from the people on the
boat and along the shore. Then Miss Olson
tainted. She was soon revived, however,
and taken home by friends.

College Frien dshiDs.
From Harper's Bazar.

One Of the enduring benefits conferred
by college on It's graduates is not paid
for in money, nor taken into account by
most parents when selecting an educa-
tional institution for their sons and
daughters. The friendships formed at COL
lege are not merely pleasant while college
days last; they are influential upon char
acter, and often modify circumstances and
mold purposes during mature years. A col
lege draws its students from many states
east west, north, south, and the culture
Of this community, the breadth of that the
angularitiss of another, and the provincial
Ism or the peculiarities of fourth, meet
are fused, are stamped, as in a new coimbi-
nation, with the die of the alma mater. A
college course does far more for a man or
for girl than to give intellectual alert
ness and knowledge Of books. It opens to
some doors of opportunity which but for
Its aid had been always looked, and it
marks the beginnings of friendships which
ends only with life itself.
AS the years go on, the gatherings of
the alumni at dinner and reception grow
smaller by degrees. One or two familiar
figures drop out. Names are starred on the
colleges muster roll-starred with that lit
tie sign which means that those who bore
them have gone over to the majority. But
there is seldom much sadness: usually
there Is only loving regret for these alb
eent ones. 80 strong grows the feeling that
they will be found again when a higher
roll Is called. For the essence Of the true
college friendship, as Of all friendships. ia
that 1t takes hold on the invisible, and has
about 1t something Of the eternities.

TON-ED by A TARPON.
An Exciting Half Days Sport With
One Fish.

A Texas sportsman, In the last number
OF Forest and Stream. gives an account
or recent exciting experience while fish
Ang for tarpon in Galveston bay. He says:
AS had made my arrangements to re-
turn to Houston a. 2 o'clock, l told the
boatman that If he would give me one
more fresh muiet l would bait the hook
and when that was taken We would go In.
He gave me the mullet, put his oars in the
locks and was ready to start when | threw
my bait overheard. 1t had not got three
feet from the boat before there was a
mighty splash. Water was thrown all over
ne, and my mullet was taken by tarpon.
1 was scarcely prepared for him. but al
the same time / prevented his getting too
much line, and the reel sang the prett!est
kind of song, until he had gone about
nfty feet, that / ever heard AT this dis
lance he jumped at least ten feet out of
the water, and. finding l had him safe.
gave him no more slack whatever He
turned Immediately out the channel to
sea against the tide and continued his
rapid gait, jumping clear of the water
every hundred feet or until he had
Jumped nine times. He kept up the pace
until ne had gone three miles to sea and
into very deep water.
Il had no control of him whatever and
ne had taken on several occasions during
thlS outward sea movement nearly all my
line, at least $50 feet. After this distance
he turned to the left and went at least two
miles, until he got back into five or six
feet OF water. Then he turned back across
the channel and went on the opposite side
OF 1t, probably mile and a half After
two hours and half he went back into
water three and half or four feet deep
and 1 had some hope of getting him into
water where / could gaff him. But. with
out warning. he turned 10 sea again and
did not stop until he had gone mile and
a half. This fsh took us around over the
bay for five and half hours. and a dis
tsnce OF not less than twelve or thirteen
mile2. l found had no control over him,
and l knew l had him foul in some way
because no pressure that i dared 20 bring
seemed to turn his head, and when / got
him broadside toward me and endeavorel
to hold him / would draw him broadsiie
to me and not head foremost, which told
me l had him hooked somewhere In the
side.
After 1 had worn out Capt Frank
Marsh, my boatman and myself, and we
mad on several occasions almost decided to
cut the line and let the fish go, we began
TO have a little control over him. and
worked him toward shallow water and at
6:l5 l got him into water about three and
half feet deep and the captain got out
into the water himself and worked up to
the fish and gated him, he had garf
with handle about six feet long After
he got the gaff into the tarpon he drew
him toward the boat and | killed him with
an oar
