OVER coNTISEST IN a BALLOON.
Remarkable Voyage of Two Aero
nauts From Paris to Norway.

One of the most remarkable balloon adj
ventures on record occurred in the
Franco-German war. The occupants of
this balloon were Pat Roller, an engineer
of the army, and / Dechamps, an officer
| of the Franc-1freurs. They assembled
from Paris on the night of November a,
1870, with dispatches from General
Narchu for the comma nder of the army
of the Loire; in addition they carried 500
pounds of mail, six sacks of ballast and
six carrier pigeons. The wind blew from
the southeast and all was well until G
clock the next morning, when the bal
loonists found themselves out of sight of
land, with nothing but the ocean under
them. Dechamps collapsed, while Roller
remained cool under the critical situation
in which they found themselves.
About II in the forenoon ship was
sighted. and in the hope Of being dis
covered and rescued by it. the balloon
was lowered to within a few yards of the
surface of the water. The ship suddenly
altered it's course and the aeronauts were
compelled TO ascend again, which they
ballast and one sack of slail Finding
themselves in an altitude of over 200
yards, and in an atmosphere of almost
unbearabie frigidity, they lost all hope
and determined to end their Eufferings by
setting fire to the balloon. Fortunately
the matches in their possession would
not ignite, on account Of the frost which
covered their clothing and everything
else in their surroundings.
About 2:30 in the afternoon a mountain
TOP became visible. When near it the
aeronauts succeeded in lowering the
balloon: the boat caught in the top of a
tree. Roller promptly disembarked, but
Dechamps became fastened in the rope
attached TO the anchor; in moment he
was suspended in the air by his feet, the
balloon began instantly to rise again, but
Roller succeeded in freeing his COM
panion from the ENHANCEMENT, and the
balloon vanished from their sight.
Continuing their journey on foot, they
found traces OF sleigh. which led them
able to converse with them, the aero
nauts ascertained that they were near
Christiana, to which place they were
brought the following day. The news of
their adventure spread with rapidly, and
soon after it was ascertained that the
balloon had landed near Trammen, in
Norway and was secure with its freight.

there are many sentiments similar to
those of Bryan, although Mr.. Bryan

Bryan has copied the ideas of the great
president, although it would not be to
nus discredit if he had. It is a surprise
70 me that men who have been in the
Republican party so long, and profess
to be governed by his opinions. should
not ascertain what those opinions are.
A careful reading OF Lincoln's
speeches will show that the Republican
party of 1850 and the Republican party
OF today are as widely separated as
possible. Denver Times.

Efforts Of . Young Man to Avoid Pay
ment Of Dime.
81 have found wny to beat the tele-
phone company out of a dime" The speak
er was ono of those young men who are
abundantly able to pay all char = !, but
who imagine 1t proper thing ~ get"
the best Of every one, and he was address
ing Chicago Post reporter. According
to their ethicz, cheating the telephone COM
pany out of dime is a worNly thing to do
go into q drug store, ring up central
and tell the girl to call the man you want
to talk with and have her tell him to call
up No -, whatever may be the number
CT the telephone at which you are stand
ing. Ask her to tell him to call you, Civ
ing your name. Ho is subscriber and
there is no charge
Tho young man to whom this informa-
ton was impaired wanted to chat with
the cashier girl in a restaurant along in
the quiet afternoon hour, and he went in
to drug store. There was a very attrac-
tive cashier girl here also. The young man
noted the telephone was No. 41,144 Main,
and he rang up central and took down the
transmitter.
A moment Of silence.
Hello" from the young man. "Why-
cenural, De KIM enough 10 ring up NO.
7,117 and tell Miss-tell them to call Mr.
Light at Al, IA. "
He was little nervous about it. He
thought tho cashier girl across the room
was watching him, but his back was to-
ward her.
There was another moment of silence
Then the girl at central said
why, you are AHA. Why don't you
call up 7,1l7 If you want them?''
And right there the big scheme for beat
ing the telephone company went to pieces.
Furthermore, the young man, being con-
fused, imagined that cashier girl behind
him had heard all he had said over the tele-
phone and he turned around much con-
fused. The cashier was smiling wisely,
but not looking at him. He started to
walk out with what dignity he could re-
tain.
"Ten cents, said the cashier girl, and
he stopped as he lariated. He blushed and
grinned and paid and went. But he said
to himself he would kill the man who had
given him so dangerousa pointer.

man Of great Importance in village
where there are anglers is the Oldest fish
erman. His ideas of proper bait, of the
correct manner Of casting with rod and
his thoughts on true workmanship may
be neither good nor worth considering in
the minds of the youngsters, but there Of
ten comes time when the Oldest fisherman
is called upon to become the arbiter of
some mans destiny. Some young fellow
gets ambitious He wants to be considered
one Of the elders In spite of his few years
He fawns on the real old timers, address,
es them by their nicknames, always carries
bag of good pipe filling tobacco with him
and Is ever ready to say nice things about
the old ones tackle. But there is always
that feeling haunting him that he is not
yet OF them, even though they treat him
cordially and call him Sport. At last he
tells fish story, the widest, most untrue
to nature that he can think of, and on it he
stakes his hope Of being regarded as an old
timer before his years warrant it. Here is
where the Oldest fisherman comes in. If he
says the story is the worst he ever heard,
the youngsters position as an old timer is
assured. But If he relates q better one, or
even worse one, the youpgster must bide
his time.
Another occasion when the Oldest fisher
man is all important is when big fish Is
taken, say trout. 1t is the pride of tho
lucky angler when the Oldest angler says
that ''it's the biggest trout ever hearn
tell OF, let alone see." That makes his fish
one of the monumental ones, ever to be
remembered when tales Of big fishing are
told on the local hotels steps or porch
Likewise is the Oldest fsherman's judy
ment final on the subject of big catches.
The Oldest hsherman's tales take rank
above all others. They arc listened to with
marked attention, and the longer they are
drawn out tho more they are listened to,
and many u "greeny" has been squelched
for saying the Oldest fsherman's story was
older than the fisherman himself. New

many of his supporters, has too much
to say on the tariff. There is no reason
able prospect of an upward turn in tariff
rates for the present. The free silver
senators from the states admitted to
keep up the Republican majority in the
electoral college hold the balance of

not vote for higher duties unless they
secure silver legislation for themselves
