SHE KNEW WHERE HE WAS.

rFrom the Cleveland Leader1
A party of young men were taking
dinner a few nights ago at a fashion
able cafe, when one of them, who is
somewhat of a jester. called the waiter
and said:
John, go and call Main =. If a wo-
man answers it viii be my wife. Tell
her that / instructed you to say that
am in the police station for a few hours
and will not be home for dinner. Say. to
her that the possibilities are that 1 shall
not be at home tonight. Understand
me, STRIP
John winlxed a couple of times in
knowing way, bowed deferentially, and
suggested:
"Supposin'-''
"Supposing nothing. sir. If she asks
who is talking tell her it is the turnkey
at the central station and she'll never
know who told her the lie"
The waiter shambled away and was
presently seen to be having a good deal
of fun with himself The Jester in
feT'red that it might have something to
do with his case and called him over.
Whats amusing you, John?"
Wouldn't like to tell you, sir'-at least,

Journey.
Floating Down Missouri River
in House Boat.
STOPPED BY POLICE.
LeaYenWOrth Officers Wanted
Neil Dickey.
Young AbseOnder Was Not in
the Party.

Leavenworth, Oct. "a communities
ton was received by the police authori-
ties here a few days ago from the chief
of police in St. Joseph. Mo, stating that
a house boat containing I'VE young men
had started from that city the after
noon of October 2. and that among the
number was a lad named Neil Dicke-.
who was described as being Is years. old,
Eve feet in height and Weighing 80
pounds.
Dickey is wanted for relieving an en-
ployer of 5000 in money and $500 in
checks. He held a position as AN office
boy in a business concern and was
trusted with money to take to a bank
He disappeared at the same time the
boat left St. Joseph and as one of the
young men in the house boat worked
in the same place it was thought
Dickey accompanied the craft on its
way down the river.
The police here have been on the look
out for the house boat, and a telephone
message was sent from the north shaft
that a boat such as the one wanted had
tied up there for the night officer
Evans went to the place and took
charge of the young men, but as they
were but four and denied that Dickey
was with them, the officer cast the
craft loose from its moorings and acted
as pilot down the river. After several
encounters with hidden bars and snags,
the boat arrived at the foot Of Cherokee
street just one hour and a half after it
left the shaft dump
The quartette were taken to the sta
ton, but as none of them answered to
the description of Dickey, they were
permitted to depart in peace. The in
mates Of the boat are said to be young
men of good families of St Joseph.
They are floating down the river on a
pleasure trip and expect to reach st.
Louis before they desert the stream.
It is now known that Dickey pur-
chased a ticket for St Louis and the
authorities there are on the lookout for

COMING FROM THE CLOUDS.

alight quietly and awake and you're not
hurt. Well. that's. the parachute drop
over again. No, there is no danger A
parachute can be guided readily the
down trip, but you can't steer balloon.
To guide a parachute out of harms way
a practiced hand can tilt it one way or
the other. spill out air and thus work
it to where you want to land, or to avoid
water trees, chimneyS or church spires.
Circus ascensions are generally made in
the evening When the sun goes down
the wind goes down. The balloon then
shoots into the air and the parachute
drops back on the circus lot, or not far
away
a balloon is made Of 4-cent muslin and
weighs about 500 pounds A parachute IS
made of Scent muslin. The rope that
secures the parachute is cut with a knife
The aeronaut drops fully 100 feet before
the parachute begins to fill. 1t must fill,
if you're up high enough. There are sew
eral hundred parachute men in the bust
ness and the accidents are less in ratio
than railroad casualties Our business Is
new at that. After a while the ratio will
be less. A man can't shake out para
chute if it doesn't open. A man in Se
fall is head first. When the parachute be-
gins to fill descent is less rapid. and finally
when the parachute has finally filled, it
bulges out with pop. Then the aeronaut
climbs on his trapeZe and guides the para
chute to a safe landing. In seven cases
out of ten you can land back on the lot
where you started FROM
