FOOLISHLY RISK THEIR LIVES.
THE FIRST SUCCESSFUL LEAP.

Out in Illinois. there's city called Peo-
ria, that Is mother to the first man who
ever safely dropped from above the clouds
by the aid OF parachute.
The mans name Is Tom Baldwin, and
he stnl lives In the city of Quincy In his
native state When Baldwin was a boy
in Peoria he used to read about balloon
ing and the stories of the men who had
invented pGrachutes that were failures
and had lost their lives by jumping from
high buildings and balloons believing that
their parachutes would lower them gent
ly and safety to mother-earth
Young Tom noticed that all these para
chutes were made like umbrellas with stiff
ribs and a stifF. straight handle. He also
read that while these crude parachutes
for a short distance performed their pur-
pose and lowered their human freight
gently toward the earth. they tipped over
before reaching It and dashed the unfor-
tunate inventor TO the ground.

The proof-reader on big newspaper is
often a much -harassed individual, and
upon his devoted head fall frequent male
,dictions for which he is not to blame
that is, not much. Considering the diffi-
culties of his profession, it is a wonder
that more mistakes do not get into the
paper; as 1t is, the errors are generally
very few, and of trivial nature. A sue
cessful proof reader must be possessed

have orthogra ply, etymology, syntax and

fails. He should posses a martyrs spirit
and capacity for deciphering hieroglyph-
les equal to a Champollion or a Brugsch
hey.
Bad manuscript Is the most frequent
cause of the proof-reader's undoing, and
there are numerous amusing instances of
mistakes arising from this source, as
where "historic hills appeared as ''lime-
stone mills" and mo cows, no cream"
for mo cross. no crown" although this
last may be aprocryphal. 1t Is related
that Horace Greeley. whose wretched CHI

The printer stalled at 1t at once, and con-

Perry, Okla, March 9.-Saturday, on
Spring creek, In the western part Of
Washita county three strange men found
O box OF gold. and the rumor in the com
munIty Is that the box contained $4,000.
The money was found on an old ranch,
which was vacated ten years ago. IL was
the rendezvous Of the Grey Davis band OF
outlaws, which for twenty years stole
horses and cattle for hundreds Of miles
around and corraled them on this ranch.
In a fight ten years ago the outlaws were
all killed, with one or two exceptions, and
since that time the report has been that
much gold was hidden on the ranch, and
many men have searched for IL. Saturday

We must draw veil over the meeting
of the uncle and nephew after so many
years estrangement, but the old man was
delighted to see him again, ana Ralph
was equally happy.
When the excitement of their meeting
was over, his uncle said to Ralph that he
felt the hand of death was upon him, and
he could not die happily until they had for
given each other and had an understand
ing.
'There is another thing that troubles me,
my boy" continued his uncle, land IL you
will open my secretaire, you will find let
ter in the last pigeon hole to the left, tied
up with green tape"
Ralph did as he was directed, and his un-
Gle told him 1t was letter announcing the
death of his poor brother Meredith, and he
asked him to read 1t. Ralph did so, and
was deely touched by its perusal; the old
man then said:
''I fear I have been wrong in not re-
plying to that letter but am now anxious
to make all the reparation l can, and 1
want you to do all that can be done to
discover poor Meredith's wife and child.
Spare no expense In advertising or In OBJ
tanning any legal assistance you may re-
auire; but l fear the time is too short, and
know / cannot live long, and can only
die happy when they are, IL possible, found
and some arrangement made In their be-
half"
Ralph promised to do all that was ne
cessary without any delay. but added, IT
think, dear uncle. the task you have given
me Is a very easy one, for / have found
but / must go back TO the beginning and
tell you all about It,"
Ralph then related his experience since
he left London In the morning, In which
the poor old man took the deepest inter-
est, and when he learnt that Inez was
found, and at that moment beneath his
own roof, he was overjoyed, but could
only say, Thank God" And when Ralph
asked II Il we're not as II the hand Of Fate
was I'm It all, "Nay my boy" said his un-
Gle, SAY rather the hand of God In his
divine providence"
Immediately afterwards he asked Ralph
to bring him his niece, whom he had new
er seen. But noticing that he appeared
exhausted after bis recent excitement,
Ralph suggested that he should rest for "A
little and he would, as soon as she also
had somewhat recovered from her fa-
tigue, bring her up TO him. and TO this the
old man readily assented.
On leaving his uncle Ralph Immediately
sought out Inez, whom he found In an
armchair in the library. beside a hosplt-
able and most grateful fire which had re-
ally been prepared for his own coming,
and here they sat holding sweet converse,
during which he told her all that had hap
pened between his uncle and himself, un-

EviIs of ChewIng Gum.

Aside from being an unpleasant habit
and one not approved as good form,
gum-chewing is productive of facial de-
formities, which are likely to increase
until they distort the countenance and
entirely alter the natural expression.
The continued use of one set of muscles
enlarges and strengthens them, and
consequently makes them more prom
inent. There have been several instances
where medical advice has been sought
upon the idea that there was some
swelling or enlargement of the muscles
or glands, although no pain had been
felt. Gum-chewers ordinarily use but
one side of the mouth, thus throwing
an undue amount of work upon that
side of the face. 1t is well to distribute
this labor equally between the muscles
of the jaws if the practice must be per-
sisted inn. Y. Ledger.

wimmin folks think-goin' to ball

jaclzer went aroun' three or four times.
Only a 5O-cent limit, but still the bones
in the middle of the mahogany looked
just as temptin' as a KlondilSe claim in

more, and then it looked like two or
three claims. Ike broke it then for the

said he'd like two cards. Looked like
he had aces, an was holdin' up kick

him. Flush, maybe. The old man
stood pat, an told the dealer to hep his

gittin' three cards.
"Without loolxin' at his cards after the
draw Ike pushed the limit to the center

said he wouldn't care if the game was

A cARBoNIc ACID WELL.
Saratoga Said TO Have the Only Sup
ply of the Kind in the world.

Saratoga Said to Have the Only sup-
ply of the Kind in the World.
-Four years ago worlSmem boring for
were startled when, with tre-
mendous rush and roar, dirt. sand
and stones came flying up out of
the hole, but not a bit Of water ap-
peared. For three days no one would
approach the place, for, though the
shower of dirt and stones ceased, and
no water, in fact, nothing visible, APP
peared, the rushing, roaring sound
continued. This was heard for miles
and resembled that made by number
of locomotives all blowing off steam
at once. At the end of this time it was
discovered that the noise was caused
by the rapid escape Of natural carbonic
acid gas. The gas was brought under
control, and is now bottled for CONNER
cial purposes, and the well is the only
one Of the kind In the world.
The bottling of gas for transporta-
ton is somewhat different from the
bottling of liquid. The gas is sent
through iron pipes from the well to
condenser, where it passes through n
succession of other pipes, each one in
turn COMPRISING it more than the last
and depriving it Of more heat. At
length, having reached q pressure of a
thousand pounds to the square inch, II
is forced into iron cylinders about six
inches in diameter and somewhat more
than four feet in height. 1t is now Of
n consistency that would seem to be n
compromise between water and glycer-
inc, with the blush cast Of ordinary
gas. In these cylinders or iron bottles
it is ready for transportation.
An interesting way in which to see
the gas is to pour some of It from one
of the cylinders, at the same time con-
yerting it into a solid. This is done by
wrapping heavy cloths round the
mouth Of the cylinder when the top is
unscrewed, thus preventing the too rap
i'd escape of the gas into the air. But
as water expands when It is converted
into ice, so the rapid expansion of the
| gas, already deprived Of its heat, causes
it 10 freeze, and on opening the cloth
there is found dry carbonic acid gas
converted into q solid as white as snow,
with the sparkle Of crystals and tenn
perature of IS degrees below zero,
When taken In the hand, it has the feel
ing of burning Goals, and II kept there
will quickly draw sufficient heat from
the hand to blister 1t. AS fast as II does
draw hea. from the atmosphere or any
object with which it comes in contact
it passes Off as gas, leaving a handker
chief, or the most delicate object OF
which it may have been placed, per
fectly dry.
Since the opening Of the well the de
mand for the gas has been greater thar
the supply, which Is limited. AS yet thu
greatest demand for It is for use in sod
water fountains, but it has also foun'
its way into other departments Of life
It is being used in the hospitals in surg
ical cases, and it is taking the place o
