RODE IN WHEELBARROW.
triumphant Progress of IA Woman
Through the Streets Of Chicago
Interrupted by Police.

Annie Novak, of Chicago, went for
a ride the other afternoon. Annie
is well acquainted with the West
Side police and it is not infrequent
that she rides in the blue wagon.
The other day, however. Annie de-
cided to change her mode of pleas
ure-seeking and engaged a number
of boys to haul her about in a wheel
barrow. After decorating herself
with gaudy ribbons she gave the sig
nal TO proceed.
She was followed by a crowd Of
men, women and children with the
result that the attention of Sergeant
Tully and policemen from the Hin
man street station was attracted to
the unique turnout" The boys

when they are packed in oats. One
feels morally certain that the eggs
have come warm from the farm.
The country wOman's story was en-
tirely worthy of belief.
Il have been delivering eggs to Mr..
Crawford's house up the street" said
she. ''IVe been bringing him six
dozen a week, but this morning
found out his folks had gone away,
and l thought mebbe some of the
neighbOrs might want the eggs"
Now, whether the housewife want
ed them or not, there is seldom any
resisting the temptation to buy any
thing that has come fresh from the
farm. 1t is said that no woman
from the country would break an egg
at each house and show the contents
were all right.
That egg would be the only good
one in the basket. One housewife,
who bought six dozen eggs at a
slightly advanced price because of
the oats used for packing, declared
that there was not one 1902 egg in
the lot.

FATE PURSUES HIM.
Six Times William ]. ROhr Has
Been Almost Dead.
Five Times He Was the Victim of Ac-
cidents, the sixth Time He Tried
TO Cross the River Styx
by Himself.

Probably no man ever lived who has
not at one time or another asked
himself the question: How does it
feel to die?"
In Minneapolis, says the Chicago
Tribune, there lives a man who not
only has asked the question, but is
able to answer it as well. He has in
reality died six times, yet is alive and
in the best of health to-day. This
man, whose experiences battle com
parison, is William j. ROhr. Since he
was boy going to school he has traV-
eled six different routes attempting
TO cross the River Styx, but each
time, as he expresses it: ''St. Peter
turned away and announced a false
alarm" Rohr is confident that the
slender thread that holds his life
possesses marvellous strength, for he
has passed through the following or
deals each of which brought him near
death:
Fell througa hole in the ice while
skating on a mill pond; unconscious
when taken from the water.
Fell into river while protecting q
bridge against an ice foe; uncon-
scious when taken from the water.
Smothered in an alright trunk
while hiding in game of hide and
seek" unconscious when found.
Fell over a precipice in ST. Paul to
the ground below, a distance of 105
feet; unconscious when picked up.
Stricken with consumption and
given up to die, but refused to allow
physicians to have their way.
Attempted suicide by shooting him
self twice in the breast with a re-
volver; unconscious when picked up,
but not dead.
What is rather unusual in Mr.. ROhr
is that he has experienced the novel
" of writing about his own death
sensations. when l slid under the
ice of the mill pond this was the be
