A Story Fifty Years Long.

The death of Uncle Jacky Martin, or
Etiingham, at the age of ninety, re-
moves q remarkable character. In the
very early days Uncle Jacky was n
freighter across the plains, and he had
many thrilling encounters with the
redskins. Ii is said that the old man
had one story that was so extended In
its details that no one had ever heard
1t from start to finish. For something
like fifty years IL was his favorite
story. and he could be easily started
Gu ii by the guests at the hotel of
which he was the proprietor. People
would listen for awhile and then go
away. the crowd being kept constant
by new arrivals. but no one every
stayed TO hear the finish. Indeed, ii
is current in Effingham that the story
never was finished. and that as IL
went along IL grew wider and more
amplified until IL took in thousands Of
miles of territory and hundreds Of per-
sonages with such a bewildering COM
plexity OF circumstances that n climax
would be impossible. - Kansas City
Journal.

Rescued by a Horse.

The almost human sagaclty OF the
horse was demonstrated when eleven.
year-old Ray Campbell. whose mother
was drowned in a cloudburst near
Marion. Ohio. told his experiences dur
ing the frightful night.
According to the boys story, ne and
his mother were driving along the
road about o'clock. the water being
well up over the animals knees. The
rain was yet falling in torrents, and
1t was dark as pitch. Suddenly the
horse stopped. Mrs. Campbell hit it
with the whip. but 1t didn't bulge.
Against the little boys entreaties she
hit the animal a second time, when it
plunged forward and horse, buggy,
boy and mother were in a torrent.
The boy was thrown on log, one Of
the many being washed down the
creek The log was driven INTO a
piece of high ground and stuck fast.
Several hundred yards below the boy
heard his mother crying for help. He
answered her, but was afraid To trust
himself To the swift current At his
second answer he heard a horses
neigh, and soon the animal appeared
swimming out from the bank. 1t came
TO him and rubbed up against him. He
then quit his hold on the log and
grasped the horses harness, when the
animal swan with him to the bank.
There he must have become uncon.

Child Alone In a Balloon.

A balloon ascension was TO have
been made at West Liberty, Iowa, re-
Gently by Baldwin Brothers, of
ing the preparations was Carlton
Meyer. twelve years old.
Boy-like, he was eager to aid In the
undertaking, and was helping to hold
the balloon down, when suddenly IL
sprang into the air. with young Meyer
hanging head down, with his feet en-
tangled in one OF the ropes.
The aeronaut who was to have gone
up In the balloon had the presence Of
mind to call to the boy: Hang on to
the rope"
The boy bravely clutched the line
and squirmed around until he caught
one of the dangling parachute ropes.
and he did not once make a slip as
he twisted himself about and gradu-
ally worked himself up to the balloon.
Mrs. Meyer, the boys mother tainted
as she saw him carried away.
Straight upward shot the balloon
with It's little captive. When it had
reached an altitude Of about a mile
q current OF air struck Ii and 1t began
to drift away.
Then began novel and exciting
chase. AS the balloon moved the
crowd followed 1t, expecting every
instant to see the boy dashed to death
on the earth. Along the roads, over
fields and fences they ran, and when
those on foot were distanced the pur-
suit was kept up by men in wagons
or on horseback.
After five miles had been covered
the balloon began to slowly descend.
AS the air in II cooled IL steadily
settled, wavering now and then, and
drifting about with the breeze, as
though to torment the anxious and
nearly spent followers.
Finally 1t came to earth in n field
of grain, where the youthful aeronaut
was gently dropped. When his friends
came up he met them with n broad
smile.
A triumphal procession was formed
and the boy was carried back home.
There q purse of 500 was raised to
reward the little fellow for his pluck

An interesting feature of the con.
struction OF this line Is the use OF
trees instead of poles, experience hav-
ing shown that living trees do not suf-
fer from the attacks of the white ants
like the poles. Insulators have largely
been done away with by the use OF
tarred hemp cords for fastening the
wires OF the trees.-Electrical Review.

AN INDIAN BRAVES DRAMATIC FATE
His Swift Running Almost Saved Him
when He Was Doomed to the Gauntlet.


One of the most tragic episodes in
the life OF "Tbe First White Baby
Born I'm the Northwest" after she had
grown TO girlhood, Is told by w. =.
Harwood, In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Her father was an army officer,
and the little frontier post where he
was stationed had been established
to prevent bloodshed between the
Chippewas and the Sioux, and TO see
justice done between them. A quin-
tet Of Sioux braves had brutally killed
some of the Chippewas without cause.
The commandant Of the post mvesti-
gated the affair, demanded the guilty
sioux, and, as there was no question
regarding the crime, turned them over
to the Chippewas. One of the Sioux,
n stalwart young fellow, was an espe-
cial favorite OF the little girl. He was
n master hand at fashioning curious
toys. and nrany were the treasures
which he had given to the little pale
face whom he loved. So Il was with n
heavy heart that she heard the deci-
sion OF the Chippewa council-the CANT
lot. Far across the fower-decked par
ade ground stood the Sioux waiting
for their comrades. Opposite them
were the Chippewas with their best
rlnemen In readiness. If the prisoners
succeeded in reaching their frlenIs
they were entitled to liberty. One by
one the Indians sprang forth, and one
by one they we're left quivering amid
the summer flowers. Little Six" the
friend OF the girl who stood watching
the strange scene from the doorway
OF her fathers quarters, was the last
OF the five, and the swiftest runner of
them all. There was an intense hope
in her heart that he might be spared,
but though he withstood one volley
she was doomed to see her favorite
spring into the air, just as he reached
the goal. and fall dead at the feet OF
his friends.

for he was mad and ran amuck
with an axe on the raft. They all
drank some OF his blood and ate the

Soon afterward two others, an Eng

left and they subsisted by catching
small fish with a bent nail and line
made from small strips Of canvas.
When they were washed ashore On
Soubi Island, they were too weak TO
walk, and with sores all over their
bodies were crawling along the beach
when the natives found them. They
had regained their strength somewhat
when the Chinese junk which took
them off arrived, and they went on
the junk TO Pulo Madi and then 10

April.
At the inquiry the master of the
Chinese junk testified TO having seen
