fun of the thing, it is called a daring

MRS. EMMA HUNSECKER
MISS ALICE STOUFFER, sister to Mrs.
Hunsecker.
KATE AND ALICE. daughters of Mrs.
Hunsecker.
Mrs. Emma Hunsecker is the wife
of Engineer Hunsecker, who is at work
on the Melan-Concrete Metal bridge,
uniting the two cities on the northern
and southern banks of the Kansas riv-
er, which form together the city of
Topeka. The other three heroines of
the daring adventure are Mrs. Hun
seekers two daughters, Alice and Kate,
two buXom girls of twenty and eighteen
years, respectively, and Mrs. Hun
seekers sister, Miss Alice Stouffer.
Their daring ride was not the result
of wager and was witnessed by no
cheering crowds. The family had gone
down to see how the work on the Won
derful bridge was progressing, and on
the spur of the moment, Engineer Hun
seekers soul was fired with an ambi-
tious desire to make his folks IA
nous from one end of the continent
to the other, by sending them through
midair across the Kansas river, the
first passengers to cross the bridge
that, even in its present unfinished
state, is attracting interested specta
tors from far and near.
The queerly contradictory nature Of
woman showed itself when Engineer
Hunsecker, half jokingly, half in earn
est. made the proposition. A mouse
might have stampeded the four women,
but the idea of a fight through the
ar in a small wooden box was enthu-
sfastically received.
Before proceeding to the women's
own story, composite recital in which
ali have collaborated, it is necessary to
give a brief description of the bridge.
The river Is 800 feet in width at this
point. Independent of the approaches
the bridge is composed of five arches,
all practically constituting one huge
stone from So feet below low-water dine
to the keystone of the great 125-foot
center arch, which is support
ed on either side by two
smaller arches, one each of 10
feet, and one each of 100 feet space. To
transport the material from the banks
to the proper place on the work, the
constructors built tower a hundred
feet high upon either bank and joined
the towers with a monster cable ca
pable of sustaining six tons. which pre-
lpitted a lateral movement of 40 feet.
the width of the wagon way Of the
bridge. From this ca BILE they swung
canoe or skip, which, by an ingenious
steam engine located on the south tow
er, could be raised or lowered, sent for
ward or backward at the will of the
engineer.
With this part of the situation ex-
planned we will let Miss Alice Stouffer
write her part Of the story of the peril
Gus trip, which she does as follows:

FAST TYPEwRITING.
Boston Girl Writes BIindfoIded
With an UnIettered Keyboard.

The highest record ever made by blind
folded typewriter Is held in Boston, by Miss
b. Darlington, says the New York Journal
She wrote from dictatiou 10s words minute
OF unfamiliar matter and IA words OF famil-
lar matter.
Miss Darlington is not professional speed
writer. She Is simply q practical operator,
acting as bookkeeper and typewriter in one
of the Boston business Offices. She made her
wonderful record before q small company Of
interested spectators, who were greatly i'm
pressed with the easy and systematic move
ments with the wrists and fingers. She sat
at the typewriter and played the keys as
though 1t were a piano.
Her hand moved gracefully and the fingers
struck the keys with light staccato touch
and each finger seemed to have its own share
OF the work to do. It was for all the word
like piano playing.
In addition to her being blindfolded, she
used an unlettered keyboard. which, in fact,
Is the only kind she ever uses. When she
mad finished 1t was found that she had av-
eraged scarcely one mistake in three minutes
OF writing
The method of touch writing is used by
Miss Darlington is one that is becoming more
and more widely used, and unlettered key
boards are being ordered from the manu-
facturers with great frequency. In order to
use such machine, one has to learn its
keyboard as he would that OF q piano, and
nnger exercises play an important part in
mis- practice when he Is learnig.

long time. as would be imagined, three or
four months being about all that is required.
But to acquire the speed that Miss CARING

90 or 60 words a minute. as against 144

APPLIED CORN sALVH

Edward England. a pollsher, deaf and

told Dr.. Kearney curious story by writing
when he applied at the city dispensary

Post-Dispatch
England was suffering with an infarned
nose, and wrote that some time ago he SUI
fered greatly with q corn on one OF his big
toes. A friend brought him box Of patent
feed.
A week later something like a wart formed
on the end OF his nose, and he thought that
as the salve had proved so salutary With the
corn cor he would try some Of it on the wart.
He applied 1t several times, but instead OF
removing the wart his probOscls grew in
famed.
DR.. Kearney informed England that he

this he burst into tears. and scrubbed on

cradle life.
England left the dispensary with pre-
scription.

10 secure a prompt and healthy d.
gestion is the one necessary thing to
do, and when normal digestion is Sc
cured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the SAT-
. est and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a
patent medicine can be used with per
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher, Of 271O Dearborn
ST., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane Of the nose becomes
inf1amed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing backward into the
throat, reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med

years for catarrh of stomach without
cure. but today I am the happiest OF
men after using only one box OF
