The pond was quite deep, and Mr. Up
ton was unable TO swim. Drowning
seemed inevitable The snake appeared
at this juncture and took in the situ-
alton at a glance. PIunging into the
water he entwined his head and neck
around one of the poles which support
ed the wharf, and extended his tail TO
Mr.. Upton, and the latter grasped the
tail of his ally and held on until mem
bers of the family, alarmed at his
cries. came to his assistance.
Hank Saunders, a Smoky Hollow
snake charmer, has % adders that
think so much Of him that they follow
him around like dogs. On wash day
each one takes the tip of a compan-
ions tail in his mouth. and they allow
themselves to be hung up on poles
for clotheslines. In the summer time
they braid themselves into a most in
geniOuS hammock. in which the snake
charmer rests or reads novels on the
front porch.
Last fall Farmer Comstock, Of the
Cascade, discovered that one Of his
Jersey cows yielded no milk. Each
night she was in certain place near
a swamp. One night Farmer Comstock
decided to solve the mystery. He hid
behind a stump, as he saw the cow
standing in her accustomed place. In
a few moments he saw a great snake
come out oft the swamp and begin milk
ing the COW. COmStOck killed the rep
tile and the mystery was solved.

steel smokestack on which he was
working toppled and started 10 fall,
he dived inside il.
Brown was at work on a new

smokeStack. which is 80 feet long
and five feet in diameter, on its
brick base at the top of the build
ing. 1t had been hoisted with pow
erful pulleys, and Brown was on top
Of the stack steering it into place.
Suddenly there was a shock and
sharp grating noise. Brown realized
2k3 the tackle was snppng, and
that the metal cylinder was certain
TO crash down through the maze of
steel beams between him and the
ground. Like a flash he dropped the
guide rope and dived into the stack
just as il started 10 fall.
Il dropped with a tremendous elat-
ter and bounded from one steel beam
TO another until il struck the ground
80 feet below, with Brown still in
side His comrades hurried TO the
spot. expecting 10 find him crushed

stack he was slowly crawling out.
He said he didnS think he was much

found the right leg broken and one
shoulder bruised.

it?" said Brown. oddly enough,

tically to Condor to bring the big
bag back TO earth, fearful for the
life of the dangling lad. All uncOn-
sciOus of the boys presence, Condor
continued evolutiOns on the trapeze.
The balloon had ascended over a
thousand feet before Condor caught
a glimpse of the lad. crnging for
life TO the fraiI rope and utterly
without support other than his own
strength. Then realizing that the
cutting loose OF the parachute would
mean death TO the lad, he schemed to
get him on the trapeze beside him.
The boy was swinging from a rope
on the other side Of the balloon as
the wind swayed it, and Condor
found it impossible to reach him.
The only hope was to make the lad
hold on until the hot air bag became
sufficiently cooled to descend. Con
don cried to the lad; begged him
10 hold tight; cursed, pleaded,
threatened, knowing it was useless.
At an elevation Of nearly 1000 feet
the youngsters strength gave way
and he dropped. The fall was wit
messed by the thousands in the park.
The little body fell on the door
step OF a house less than a mile
from the park. On the doorstep was
an invalid mother and her married
daughter, who had watched the
fight Of the balloon. The mother
died shortly after from heart fail
ure and the daughter was sent to a
hospital. insane. There. her child
was born, a few weeks later. On
seeing the lad fall, Condor pulled
the cord which cut the parachute
loose. He came down safely. but was
picked up unconscious as a result of
his fight.
When he recovered. weeks after. he

JUST A CRAZY HOBO.
The Story of Charles T. COndOn's
Balloon Ascension.
=. v,de a Mental and Physical Wreck
of a steady-Nerved Athlete ana
Resulted in other Terrible
Accidents.

When Charles 7. Condor played ths
role of aeronaut for wager, three
wears ago, his experience cost hln
his reason. To-day, says the Denver
Post. Condor is a tramp-one OF tns
variety known as stew bumbs. dc
came into Denver the other morning
on a freight train; left the same
afternoon or evening on a DraKe
beam, TO where, no one knows. Con-
don was once highly respected anu
was one of the leading young men
of Oakland. Cal, where he was IN
the commission business.
One Sunday. in a spirit of banter
he volunteered to make a balloon
ascension in the stead of a man dis
abled. who was 10 have afforded en-
tertainment for crowds at a public
resort. Some Of his comrades took
him up. offering to wager that he
would not dare go up on trapeze,
swinging beneath the great hot ar
Dag.
When his friends saw that Condor
was in earnest. they begged him to
desist, but this the spirit Of bravado
would not allow. Before the park
manager realized he was sending an
tirely inexperienced man up in the
balloon, the guy ropes were cut
loose and Condor with running bound
sat on the trapeze and was a hun
dred feet in the air.
a number of boys and men had
held the balloon captive by the guy
ropes in readiness for its fight. All
but one let go as the balloon was re-
leased. On one of the ropes, either
holding on or being caught in a tan

The attitude Of Tillman is repre-

senatives. They may not favor
the drastic applications advo-

they are eaVorting and schemIng
and diplOmatizing in order to hold
their representative power in Con

thousands and thousands of bona

Aud it seems thai their schemes
are having some effect. There
seems to be no disposition on the
part of republicans to either defend
the rigat Of the colored people or
to insist upon proper representa-
tiOn. The South seems to have these
men "queered" and afraid to do

discover a way Of correcting this
evil and sprucing upthe back bone
Of our weak kneed republican

at the North, it is not improbable
that c)lOred voters lllsignify their

NEGRO COLONY FOR AFRICA.
Planning to Send LabOrerS from

For several days T. Thomas Fort

rangements 10 take a colony of Amer

claimed, the company has secured a

TatorS are Emile Renders. of Brussels;

of Denver, and a number of other Eu-
rOpeans and Americans. The Compa.
nv has secured 5000 900 acres of land
from the French government. Most
of>the land is said to be TiCn in rubbe-
trees, mahogany and other valuable
woods, it is the purpose Of the compa-
ny to develop the rubber and prepare
il for Shipment to Europe. Il is the

ers from the farms of t-e South and
more than 1000 negroes are TO be
sent to Africa during the next three
months if the plans are carried out.
