Married In Spite of Flood.

Weddings by telephone, telegraph and
even photograph have been performed In
this country, chiefly i'll the wild and wool
~ west, and their occurrence has always
startled the reading public. Now comes
from the same land story of another
wedding at long range, but this time by
viva voce. Albert Perry is a cowboy, and
Emma Meyer is the daughter Of ranch
man near Perry, o. Il. They had arrang-
ed to be married. A heavy storm had
swollen the streams and made it impos-
sible for the minister to reach the ranch
to perform the ceremony. But little
thing like that could not daunt the young
lovers. They drove to the bank Of. the
stream that barred the progress Of the
minister, and he shouted his questions,
and they shrieked their responses across
the boiling waters. The fee must remain
until the waters subside, but Albert and
Emma are man and wife all right.

Dewey's Welcome TO New York.

George Dewey has way of smash
ing things quite peculiar to himself,
and it is altogether way which quite
suits his fellow countrymen. He en-
tered Manila bay and smashed that
Spanish fleet couple Of days before he
was expected to reach there, and now
ne enters New York harbor two days
ahead Of time. captures the city and
smashes some exceedingly formal and
elaborate ceremonies ct the harbor
gate. wH th, we may we'll imagine, the
modest dniral was willing enough to
escape Possibly he thought that by
pushing the nose of the Olympia inside
SANDY Hook a couple Of days before
he was expected he might forestall
those frequently somewhat /tiresome
panegyrics that are usually fired ut a
returning hero before he is officially
recognized to be at home. 1T is known
that Admiral Dewey is a modest and
retiring man except when there is
fighting on hand, and he doubtless
dreaded more the volley Of rhetoric
which was in store for him than he
had feared the guns Of the Spaniards.
The flagship Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey and his men, entered New York
bay and anchored inside the Hook
early on Tuesday morning, Sept. %,
though he was not expected to put in
an appearance until Thursday evening,
when, with much Formally and many
rounded phrases, he was to have been
officially welcomed and presented with
the freedom Of the city. The first well
come home, however, came in another,
less formal and quite unique way and,
we imagine, was not displeasing to the
admiral.
While the city officials and distin-
guished citizens designated to receive
Admiral Dewey were enjoying their
morning sleep the Highlands flier San
dy Hook was on her way from Allan

PACED BY DEATH.
How Brewery Hand Raced For His

0O" brewery HAND Raced For HIS
~. Life With Giant knives. = +.
When Abraham Sapiro of Paterson, N.
J., practiced running in his boyhood days
and earned laurels as a Splinter, he prob.
ably did not dream that some day he
would have to race for his life with COM
petitors not Of flesh and blood.
Sapiro has charge of the mixing vats
at the Katz brewery. Some Of the watts
were empty the other day, and the oppo.
tunity for cleaning the machinery wau
considered good. In the center Of each
vat is an upright shaft. To this are at
tached two sets of large paddles, the
edges of which are sharp as knives.
These are driven around Mt high speed,
and the boiling malt is thoroughly mixed.
Sapiro had been cleaning and sharpen
ing the huge blades and told Mckay,
his assistant, to go to the next room and
raise the lever that allows the malt to
flow in. He wished to see il it was in
working order. He remained in the vat
and moment later was Mortified to see
the great blades move.
Sapiro also began to move, for he right
ly concluded that Mckay had raised the
wrong lever and that he would have to
keep moving until the mistake could be
rcctified. But fright had incapucitated
Mckay. who heard the cries of Sapiro
and was soon at the side of the vat.
What he there saw transiXed him and
robbed him Of all presence Of mind.
Sapiro, now racing about the little cir
Gle, might as well have been alone. He
knew just how fast he had to go, for
while one set Of knives was pursuing him
the other, moving at the same speed, was
making pace for him. The pace finally
reached it's limit, and as Snpiro ran, fear
full of slipping on the smooth copper bot
tom, he began to realize; that it could not
last long.
Already his limbs began to fail him. and
his breath came hard and fast. But Sa.
