Tried to Play Darius Green
New York Nvoridl

New York Woridl
After 9-year-old Mary Elizabeth HouI-
rOyd had fallen five stories from the
ROOF OF her parents home and struck
and broken three clotheslines and gone
through the root of a shed in the back
yard, she sat up uninjured and scOlded
the neighbOrs for having clotheslines
in the way.
Undoubtedly the ropes saved her life.
Last week she heard the story Of
Darius Green and His Flying Ma
chine recited in school. She went
home and told it to her little brother,
Charles Henry
Charles Henry is and thought it a
very good story, He Immediately got d
crowd of youngsters together on the
sidewalk and proposed that they make
d flying machine and try it from the
roof OF the tenement house.
The rest Of the family heard his
proposition and were frightened. Mary
was told to watch him all the time. n
few mornings ago she missed him. She
thought of the flying machine and ran
up on the ROOF. She heard his voice
coming up from the back yard, and,
rushing to the edge of the ROOF, lost
her footing and slipped over the edge.
From the fourth story hung clothes
line with a quilt. She struck the quilt
and carried 1t with her to the ground
On the way down she struck two more
clothes lines. She shot past the win
dow where her mother lay i'll, but made
no cutlery. She said afterwaTd she
didn't cry because she didn't want 20
scare her mother.
She struck a shed roof and went
through it to the ground. Mrs. George
Allmer, her aunt, who lives on the first
floor rear. ran out as the girl sat up.
What is the natter" asked the
aunt.
Nothing; only 1 fell off the roof
Please don't tell mamma; it might
brighten her. 1 wish folks wouldn
have those old clothes lines all over
the back of the yard. They hurt me.

most interesting number. Two contribu-
tons are &c direct local concern. The first

Salt Lake IS the subject Mr.. Bickneli
sketches the history of the Mormon peo-
pie with no unfriendly pen, though his
historical references are IN semi-humor-
Gus and at times, sarcastic vein. His
main conclusion on which his whole the
sis is based Is that a mans religion is no
b0dy's business. provided his life is good
He believes that the success of the Utah
experiment is due largely to the spirit Of
coliectivism- operation on large
scale. Considerable space is devoted 10
the charms of salt Lake City and it,
most famous buildings. and the text is
beautifully illustrated with hslf-tone pie
lures Of points OF interest. The second
and more practical feature of the maya
zine relating to Utah is a description of
railroad operations on the Short Lane ex-
tension in Nevada. This also IS illus
trated with views of the line and the
country through which it is projected
What Mr.. Moody thinks Of public senti-
ment IN Utah and California. and what
he believes is the real situation in the
contest between the Hartman and Clark
forces is put thus.
1T is probably true-at least most peo-
pie believe it-that but for the energy
and activity of the men who are pushing
