TIED WRONG STRING.
tAchPd an IrRte Gentleman to
Her own FOOtgear.

A handsomely dressed lady, riding
recently in a crowded Amsterdam ave-
nue. ear, in New York, was fortunate
enough 10 have a seat, but when near
ing her destination she noticed that
the lacing of her Oxford tie was un-
fastened. It was the work of a mo-
ment, but a very warm and trying mo-
ment, To stOOp down and knot it Sc
curely. When this was accomplished,
her hat and veil readiuSted. and her
gloves once more carefully put on, it
was time TO signal the conductor. This
she did, and after two vain attempts To

THOUGHTLEsS GENIUS.
YOungTter Who Essayed TO Do
the Parachute Act.

Genius is certainly worth cultivat-
ing, and we cannot but feel a degree Of
admiration for the boy who tries TO do
something bright, even if he fails.
Sometimes such an one is so carried
away by certain project that he for
gets all about being cautious, and as
a result turns on himself the laughter
of those whom he had expected 10
astonish. The Little Chronicle tells OF
an incident of this kind. \ ten-year-
old boy Of Bellwood, H.. had recently
seen a man drop from a balloon with
the aid of a parachute, and this gave
his an idea. Accordingly he invited

vehicle built in Paris after designs fur
nished by Mr.. Cudell. 1t has box
shaped front part, containing a 25-
horsepower benzine motor. The mo-
tor has four cylinders of the Daimler
pattern, which are arranged 10 act al
ternately. The reservoirs, large
enough to hold 12O gallons of benzine,
are slowed away on both sides of the
vehicle, underneath the seats. Mr..
Cudell expects that the amount of fuel
will be sufficient TO enable them to

best material and made with special
care, so as to insure the comfort and
