ing the day: he is willy creature and
knows the deadly effects of Il rifle just
as we'll as the hunter.
Early in the morning the party leave
the farm and quietly surround the

balloons are sleeping. At the first
break of dawn the head baboon is on
the move, TO see that everything is
right. He no sooner makes an appear

of lead. In an instant the whole troop
is in an uproar. They rush hither and
thither, bowling with rage and pain.
looking for u place of escape. But few
of them succeed. Directly the hunters
have retired, the blacks. who have
been following up the party, make n
rush for the tails of the balloons.
Sometimes they are in so great hurry
to secure these that they fail to OBJ
serve that the baboon is not dead and
an ugly bite or tear is the result. The
tails are taken to the magistrates Of

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Michael Folinski.
crazed by religion, stood on top of a
1J0-foot smOkeStack at the Illinois
Steel works, in South Chicago, mutter-
ing prayers preparatory to an attempt
to jump to the ground. He was res
cued by a friend, John Sonalski, who
climbed the frail ladder to the top Of
the great chimney and persuaded him
by ruse to come down. Folanski Is
2S years old and came here from PO-
land two years ago. He suddenly
dropped his tools in the plate mill and
cried: My time has come. / am going
to heaven"
Before any one could stop him he
had climbed to the top of the stack,
where he stood shouting and singing.
Several attempts to rescue him were
met by threats TO jump to the ground.
FINALLY Sonalski crept part way up the
ladder and told the demented man that
he could not go to heaven unless he
first went through fire and water. Then
FolanSki agreed to descend.

Burns and Tam Samson.

Tam Samson was gray haired vet
eran sportsman, who on one occasion.
when out moorfOwl shooting and feel
ing the weight of years begin to press
upon him, expressed the belief that the
expedition was to be his last and de-
sired, in somewhat tragic style, that
he might die and be buried in the
moorS.
Burns, hearing of this, Immediately
composed his famous elegg, in which
he related at length the exploits and
skill Of his hero, ending each verse
with the plaintive line, Tam Samson's
dead"
Some one having told Samson that
Burns had written poem-"a gey
queer ane"-about him, he sent for the
poet and in something like wrath asked
him to read what he had written. On
hearing the recital of his exploits he
smiled grimly and seemed by no means
displeased. But" he exclaimed, I'm
no dead yet, Robin. Wherefore should
We say that I'm dead? Burns retired
for Il few minutes; then he returned
and recited to Tam the following verse,
which he had composed in the inter
val:
PER CONTRA.
Go, Fame an canter like FLY
Through a the streets an neuks Of Killie;
Tell ev'ry social. honest billie
To his grievin,
For yet, unskaithd by Deaths gleg guile,

Samson laughed gieefully and ex-
claimed, That's no. bad. Robin; that'll
do" and the poet was received once
more into his good graces.-Chambers
