had planned that his preparations
would all be completed and his balloon
filed by the first week in July, it
seems probable that some unexpected
obstacle was met in completing the
preparations.

HEROIC TREATMENT.
How Dislocated Jaw Was Put Back
Into Its Place.

How Disloc2ted Jaw Was Put Back
Into Its Place.
While talking in his sleep Henry
Flocke, a builder, residing in Ozone
Park, L. l., dislocated his jaw. Mr..
Flocke's habit Of talking in his sleep
has made him the butt Of a good deal of
joking. He went to bed as usual, but he
had not slept long when he began talk
ing. This awoke his wife, who listen
ed for about ten minutes. Suddenly
Flocke's nocturnal monologue stopped.
He began gasping. Mrs. Flocke was
frightened, and she shook her husband
into wakefulness.
''Why, what's tho matter, Henry?''
she asked.
Her husband tried to speak, but in
vain. His jaw was immovable. He mo
toned to his wife that he could not
speak, and she endeavored to force his
mouth shut. She could not move it.
Fearing her husbaeld was suffering from
lockjaw, she sent for DR.. Mcdonald.
"Do you want me to replace your
jaw in my own way?'' asked the doctor
MIR. Flocke motioned in the affirma-
tive. DR.. Mcdonald stepped in front of
Flocke. Without warning the doctor
struck Flocke terrific blow on the left
side of the jaw. Flocke showed a dispo-
sition to strike back.
"You told me to do it my own way, "
said the physician. "You observe that
your ability to speak is restored"
The blow had knocked Flocke's dislo-
Gated jawbone into its proper position,
and except for 3 little soreness he was
none the worse. Dr.. Mcdonald explained
that Flocke's jaw was liable to disloca-
tion at any time unless he broke him

AN ABLE ARGUMENT.

The Thief Did Not Believe In Equal Divi-

He had both hands in the air and
was looking into the barrel Of a revolv-
er, but he retained his presence of
mind.
II presume, he said, "that you be-
lieve in an equal distribution of proper

"That's wot,'' replied the highway

II supposed SO. That's usually the
way with men Of yonr class, but you ar
que from false premises. You try to
justify your actions''-
"Shut up!"
ooh, I'm not going to giveyou lee
ture on your evil ways. In fact, I may
say that I am willing to accept your
theory Of life temporarily"
"Well, shell out, then. -
Certainly, certainly, anything I
have. But am to understand that you
insist upon operating upon that theory?'
The highwayman nodded, and the
victim deposited bunch Of keys, an
old silver watch and two nickels on the
fencepost beside which he was stand
ing.
'That's all haye," he said.
The highwayman gave al exclama-
ton Of disgust and pushed all the arti-
cles off on to the sidewalk.
II amt Robin paupers, - he said.
"Of course not" replied the victim
cheerily, ''but this isn't robbery, you
know. It's the theory Of equal division
Of property. You get half of that stuff,
and I'll just take one Of those handsome
revolvers that you have. That's fair
and right in line with your
But the highwayman declined, and
he did it very roughly too.
"And yet," said the victim as he put
the silver watch back in his pocket, che

AN OPAL CANNOT RE LOST.
Apparent verf1acn3ion Of . ysrtue Claimed
For tho Alleged Unlucky Gem.

Apparent verfacafion OF aV1rtue Clainnod
For the Alleged Unlucky Gem.
"A wealthy broker of West Philadel-
Ephia had rather singular experience
the other day. He and his family have
had in their possession for a.nnmber Of
years some very handsome aopals, but
the superstition which was formerly en-.
tertained concerning the STONE being mn
lucky prevented him making use of the
gems Last year he took q trip to Eu-
rope. While in London he met at the
house Of mutual friend dealer in
precious stones, who had just come from
Gracias a Dios, in Honduras. and had
brought back Some fine gems.
Instead of putting any faith in the
popular superstition this gentleman be-
ieved in the opal very thoroughly and
attributed to it virtues which no other
gem possessed. Among the things which
he said about it was that the opal was
attached to its owner by invisible cords
and that it was impossible to lose it,
though it might be mislaid. The Phila-
delpi1ia broker Oh his return to Phila-
delphia chose the finest opal in his col
lection, had it set in ring, surrounded
by small diamonds, and at Christmas
presented it to his wife. It was truly
beauty, and she wore it with conscious
pride.
One day on returning from a day's
outing she received quite shock-the
opal was gone. Search proved vain. No
trace Of the stone could she discover.
Not only on account of it's value, but
because she knew how highly her hus-
band priced the stone, she hated to in
form him of her loss. At last she felt
obliged to do SO, when, greatly to her
establishment, be drew from his vest
pocket a tiny package and presented it
to her. Upon opening it what was her
delight when she recognized her lost
opal.
More astonishing still, her husband
affirmed that while he was walking
down Chestnut street day OF two be-
fore he felt something under the sole Of
his shoe, which upon investigation
proved to be the opal which he had last
seen shimmering upon his wife's finger.
There was no doubt about it being the
lost one, for the jeweler who had set
it recognized it also. 1893 Philadelphia
