HE DROPPED HIS PIPE.
And the Loss Naturally Caused Him
Some Annoyance.

And the Loss Naturally Caused Him
Some Annoyance.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
One afternoon last summer 1 was stand
ing on the great Suspension bridge just
below Niagara Falls looking at the great
cataract and admiring the wonderful col
ors Of the green AMI blue river 300 feet
below. Several workmen We're engaged in
painting the bridge, and became interest
ed in their operations. 1t required no little
engineering skill to rig up an apparatus
by which to enable painter to traverse
the giant guy rope cables which radiate
from the center of the bridge, fanshape,
toward either end of the structure. A
painters platform four feet square was
suspended from one of these cables by
ming On the cable. By means of rope
attached to this wheel man on the bridge
could draw the platform from the river
bank-the terminus of the cable-to the
bridge above. and as the platform passed
along the cable workman sitting on
common chair on the platform would paint
the great iron rope above his head and be-
hind the trolley wheel.
l was especially interested in the work of
Swede, who, perched on a small platform,
was painting one of the Canadian braces.
He had begun at the end of the cable On
the Canadian shore, lar below, and had
been pulled up the cables steep incline
toward the bridge until perhaps two-thirds
of his journey had Dee1 completed There
was absolutely nothing but air between
him and the seething river 300 feet below;
but there he sat- On swinging platform,
methodically plying his brush and com
piacently smoking a short clay pipe
How it happened l don't know. But the
man en- the bridge suddenly let the rope
slip out of his hands. Tha.e was sharp
cry OF alarm from the startled painter as
the platform began to spin down the in
cline, with constantly increasing momen-
tum. 1t seemed as if the poor fellow must
inevitably be dashed against the rocky
precipice and tumble into the river man
gled corpse The slack of the rope on the
bridge, however, became eEtangled around
a brace and the parilons descent came to
sudden end. The flying platform stopped
with a jerk The chair a pail of paint, a
brush and clay pipe went sailing into
space. The painter caught a corner Of the
platform just in time to save himself from
following them.
Two minutes later The platform had been
pulled UP to the bridge, and the Swede
was given a chance TO stretch his legs
again in safety. The man on the bridge
had not word to say. He was as pale as
a corpse and trembled like a leaf. But the
Swede did have something to say, and he
said 1t without the slightest t-emor of emo
ton in his voice. YOU, he remarked.
LAY tank you skal aind me your pipe.

II was with Kruger in battle fought
agar st the Matabele In 1866. on the banks
CT the Limpopo. This was one of the last
fights of that loEg and bloody struggle
which ended in cur driving the Matabele
tribes beyond the Limpopo for good On
this occasion the blacks had made an in
cursion under a son OF Umzlligease, ana
several of our farm houses had been burn
ed. But 1t was the murder of two female
children which aroused US far more than
the destruction of our property. / acted as

and with Paul Kruger at our head Che had

rode against the enemy. Some OF our men
wanted to ride straight toward where the
Matabele lay, but Kruger tried strategy.
He marched a few leagues up the river.
and then sent out decoy party to lead
the savages on. Seeing what they heliev-
ed to be our full force retreating, the Mat
ADELE pursued. Meanwhile Kruger had dis
posed the main body upon rising ground,
in ambush behind some rocks. The enemy
were permitted to come well within range,
and then Kruger gave the word to fire.
We simply moved them down. and con-
tinued to fire, until they fled in confusion,
leaving their leader dead behind them.
Then 1t was our turn to pursue-and there
were very few of that tribe left when Paul
Kruger had finished with them.
An Incident of the Fight.
Il recall grim, albeit a humorous. In
cident in that battle. One of the Mata-
belle had thrown an assegai, and Kruger,
rising at the moment. received the weapon
in his hat. He coolly removed the assegai
and stuck it, head upward. in his belt. But
his quick eye had noted the man who
threw 1t, and he kept watch upon that
man through the remainder of the fight.
When the Matabele broke ground Kruger
was first after them. We pursued TO the
banks of the Limpopo. the enemy jump
ing in and swimming across. All this time
Kruger had never lost sight Of the asscgai
thrower. and as that unlucky warriors
head bobbed up above the water Dom
Paul seized his weapon, launched it clev-
erly and sent the poor fellow to the Lot
tom with his skull pierced. Ah,' he re-
marked. coolly, it seems that 1 have the

mails of all kinds, wild and tame. There
is well-authenticated story of his putting
a lion to rout by sheer GOODNESS, while Tn

Skeleton of a Prehistoric Woman
Taken From Mounds.

skeleton OF PrehfstOrfc Woman
Taken From Mounds.
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
DR.. Clarence Loveberry, the curator OF
the Ohio Archaeological and Historical So
ciety, who has been in Chillicothe for a
week exploring the mounds i'm that locality,
has made what he considers a very I'M
pcrtant discovery.
In a mound 200 feet long by forty high
the wcrkmen came upon the skeleton OF a
prehistoric woman. The body was five
feet lchg and the bones well preserved,
considering the fact that they had been
buried hundreds of years. The body had
been buried in some coarse fabric, shreds
of which still chung to the bones. II had
also been wrapped in bark.
1t had evidently been a person OF rank.
for around the neck was a string of beads,
and the left arm was covered from shoul-
der to wrist with strings of beads made
from gulf shells. Through one of these the
string still remained intact. There was
also a quantity Of mica flakes about the
skeleton.

in the throng. On inquiry found that
every single member OF that council had
experienced the same feeling of being scru-
tinized by Krugers eyes. In fact, we were
hypnotized by the man, and his sage coun-
sells conquered British South Africa es-

Paul Kruger.
