ember 5, in the same year, that the pair
made the record journey of rising to q
height of no less than seven miles above
the surface of the earth. and the story of
this exciting exploit shows that the in
trepid scientists had a very narrow
escape indeed with their lives.
OVER FIVE MILES.
They reached ar elevation of five miles
in 70 minutes and still kept on ascending.
After a time, the valve line having be-
come entangied, owing to the rotary mo-
ton of the balloon, Mr.. CoXwell had to
leave the car and mount to the ring, but
there was boar frost all around the
neck of the balloon, and the moment
his hands touched the ring they were
frost-bitten and rendered useless, so that
he had ID put his arms on the ring and in
this way drop back into the car In the
meantime. Mr.. Gaisher, who had OBJ
served that they had attained a height
of 29.0G0 feet, found his sight affected,
less; then he seemed 10 have no limbs
at all. his back and neck lost all MUS
cular power and he became unconscious.
This was the condition in which Mr..
Coxwen. on reaching the car again. his
own hands poweriess, found him Hap
PLY, Mr.. CoxweH was able to seize the
valve cord with his teeth. and some
vigorous pulls speedily brought them into
a warmer temperature, when Mr.. Clash

pied hands with brandy.

Some of the people awaited the event on
the roofs of their houses. The greater

the people knelt, praying and singing.

Both man concluded that it would Ger,
tainly have been a breach Of etiquette
and good breeding to have interrupted
Mr.. Riley's conversation and insisted up
on a discussion of the object Of their
visit. And both returned to their homes
without line of Mr.. RiIeys poetry and
without even a promise of any in tho
future.
This is exactly what MIR. Riley wanted.
it is said. He had concluded TO rest dur.
ing the summer months, and he dreaded
the necessity of having to refuse his two
visitors the request they had come to
Indianapolis 70 make. Therefore, he
crowded his conversation full of a whole
seasons work and escaped.
During the waTmest weeks of last
summer MI. Riley and Booth Tarking-
ton. the author Of The Gentleman From
Indiana, with party Of friends. visited
MaX;nkuckec. d small lake and resort in
Northern Indiana.
1t was the custom Of both MI Riley ard
Mr.. Harrington 10 devote the afternoons
TO The ministrationS OF the village barber
The barber, however, was crowded, and
the daily excursions TO the village conse-
quently occupied the entire afternoon. for
both the poet and the author were Obliged
10 wait their turns in the dusky. dusty
little country shop.
The women in the party objected. They
insisted that the barber must have
daughter for the wasting Of a whole SUE
shiny. summer afternoon in barber j
shop seemed absurd in feminine eyes
Mr. Riley, ertheless, claimed that ii
was tie BARRIERS fault and his alone.
One hot, dry afternoon, when the two
had returned from their daily piigrimag@
and thrown themselves down on the grass
in the shade, the usual Saluta;ion about
the BARRIERS wondrous daughter greeted
them from the women. Mr.. Riley quickly
turned 10 the group ard said:
''It is the BARRIERS daughter,
And she has grown 50 dear
/ worship cen the latheT
Her pa leaves In my ear"
Ar. Riley will not father tine lines row,
but Mr.. Harrington. who has an excellent
memory. made a mental note Of the
words and takes some little delight in
quoting Mr.. Riley's impromptu utter
aHce.
1t was only another instance where Mr..
Rileys ready mind had served to save
himself and a friend from an ernbaTraSs-
ing position. For 1t Is said. the barber
did have a daughter and it was as much
on that account as for any other reason
that the two elected to wait the after
noon through until they could come I'M

girls father.
The passengers on a noTth-bound street

recently made long and tedious trip to
indianapolis for the purpose of accom-
Fishing some business. Although they
arrived there with definite enc In view,
they left the city no nearer a consu4l-
nation of their plans than when they
entered it..
Both the editor and the publisher had
come West determined to see James
Whitcomb Riley. the poet. ard they were
equally determined to secure from him
some poems to be published In the
Ladies Home Journal and also In book
form.
In due time the two called at Mr.
Riley's residence and were received by
the poet Mr.. Riley opened the CONVEX
sation and led it: he made it brilliant
with flashes CT wit and smooth with
touches Of the gentlest humor. He en-
tertain9d his visitors as only James
WhitcOmb Riley can entertain, and both
the editor and the publisher remained
silent; 1t was better, they thought. to hear
Mr.. Riley than to join in the conversation.
Mr.. Riley glibly turned frGm one subject
to another, but never spoke a word of
shop. The afternoon had worn away
when the two visitors rose and took their
departure.
" hen they had reached the street MI.
Doubleday turned to his companions:
why didn't you ask him" he inquired
Of Mr.. Box.

SolcitOus friends, intent on the poets
enjoying himself. insisted that he should
sail with them. To this Mr.. Riley strong
ly objected, but occasionally submitted.

when the sky was as blue and cloudless
as summer sky can ever be. the poet

yaFlably wore a broad-brimmed straw hat
and carried, neatly folded. an umbrella.
The umbrella was never called into ser
vice, but was an Indispensable portion of
Mr.. Rileys yachting costume.
Mr. Riley not only objects to riding on
the water, but he likewise entertains a
prejudice against riding on the land
In springtime. however the poet feels
longing to visit the haunts Of his bare
foot boyhood days. And the village in
which Mr. Riley spent his youth is
Greenfield-nOt twenty miles from Indian
aDolis.
Several days ago the longing became
uneonquerable and ne set out alone He
boarded the right train successfully and
had progressed upon his journey to with
in FIVE miles Of Greenfield. There the
train came suddenly to stop.

communities. They have no success In
the cities. In the town eff Greenwood
the Mormons intend to build church
and have funds subscribed. The local
clergymen have united as4f-st this
plan and have prepared a tract that Is
now being circulated among the people
In that section of the state. The Nor
mon teachings are denounced roundly in
this tract, ard the people are warned
against the missionaries. The Mormons
are also distributing tracts and can
wasting from house to house for converts.
Several farmers have chased them away
with dogs when they have found them

vering, and say that they shall remain
In the state until all sections have been
carefully covered. 1t is stated that they
have secured enough converts in the
town of Greenwood to establish their
church.
For the most part the pee ~ of the
state tolerate all these religious phenom-
ena, and interfere only on exceptional
occasions.
One Of Mr. Sandford's missionaries In
LeYant, Me, a man by the name of TIig
gins, was tarred and feathered by mob
and ridden on rail to the outskirts of
the town rot long ago. 1t was said that
Higgins had induced certain persons ia
the town to give their farms to the
cause; had made the farmers Kill their
hogs and bury the carcasses, on the
ground that the animals were unciean;
had instituted strange rites and had tied
a child up by the thumbs and beaten her
in order to cast out the demon alleged
to be in possession of her body. Several
persons were arrested charged with be-
ing ia the mob. but higgins refused to
bear witness against his prosecutors, and
no one was convicted.
