MUST STAND TO SLEEP
Prisoner In ohio Jail Wide Awake
When He LES Down.

When He Lies Down.
There is a prisoner in the county
jail at Cleveland who can't lie down
and enjoy nap. He has to do all
sleeping while standing up.
This prisoner is Joe Butch, :, man
Of about 30. He is in jail on q charge
Of burglary and larceny.
The Jail guards never find Butche
on his cot at night. When bed time
comes he stands in corner and takes
comfortable snooze. II he is rea,
sleepy and wishes 70 wake up he
doesn't take cold bath. He goes TO
his cot and lies down, and In a few
minutes he is wide awake.
81 suppose II you are sleeper than
usual you stand up in the middle OF
the floor instead OF leaning against
something" said one Of the guards.
"Oh, it's all the same to me-" re.
piled Butche. I'm all right as long as
| don't lie down."
The Jail officials don't know Just
how to treat Butche. They never offer
him a chair because they're afraid he's
too tried TO sit down, and they don't
like to have him stand up while
they're talking to him, for fear he'll
go to sleep.

markable feats in trick jumping. lie
is Gus Neuberg.
In our illustration with his little
four.year.old boy on the chair he
jumps up on the lads legs just where
they hang over the top of the chair
and then off. At least, that is what
he appears to do, bu;, as a matter
of fact, Re does not put any weight
at all on the boys legs.
His jump is one continuous move
ment, but he has become so skillful
that he is able, in making the leap
TO bring bis feet down lightly on
the child's body without losing his
balance, thus making II seem as
though two jumps were actually in.
VOWED in the feat.
Our illustration shows him in the
act OF jumping over table three feet
high, lighting. apparently, in the
course of his leap en- the small OF
the little boys back.
Among other things, he jumps in
and out Of TN ordinary barrel with the
lad standing inside, and leaps over
q tub Of water, touching his feet to
the water so lightly that the soles are
scarcely wet.
The most nerve.racking stunt that
he does, and probably the most diff
hcult, is to jump over a table In his
bare feet and touch the sharp blades
Of razors fastened In the top Of the
table without even so much as
scratching the skin ON his feet. He
does the same thing with basket
of eggs, jumping apparently on the
eggs, without cracking one Of them.
He also puts several lighted can.

A Panther Story.

The following incident told by
G. S. Fouse in last weeks Semi.
Weekly News, huntingdon, oc-
Cured up on Broadtop many,
many years ago.
One of the early settlers in that
now prosperous region was Mr..
White, who, as did all the pion-
eers at that time, lived in a small
log house.
The family had moved there
from Maryland, and had taken
up tract of land, improving it
by building a house and stable,
clearing of the land and opening
up a farm. After few years he
had a nice little herd of CATTLE
AS the pasture was good and
plentiful, White, like all the rest
of the early settlers, would let
the cattle run at large. When
evening came they would come
home; but one evening there
were two that failed to return,
the bell COW and a fine young one.
The family thought that in the
morning they could be brought
in, as the bell was heard out on.
the mountain. Early the next
day one of the daughters started
after the missing animals. She
went but short distance until
she found the bell COW, but the
other was not there. Looking
around she saw her lying a short
way off. Going nearer she found
that the COW was dead and partly
eaten. She happened to look out
beyond where the COW lay and
saw something on a stump of a
tree that was broken off about 10
feet from the ground. Quickly
running home she told her father
of the dead COW and said that
there was a deer lying .on a
stump. "Yes," says Mr.. White,
Il know what kind of deer is on
the stump, it is a panther. At
that time gentleman from the
East was visiting the family and
the two men prepared to kill the
panther.
White had an old fiintlock shot
gun, which he loaded with heavy
slugs Qittle square blocks of lead
cut by hand). So they started
with this gun, an AK and two
large dogs.
When they reached the place
they found the panther coiled up
on the stump, apparently asleep.
They went cautiously until quite
close, for White knew it would
take hard shot to kill the animal
with the slugs. As he discharged
the weapon, the panther sprang
down the hill and struck the
ground with such force that he
became wedged under a fallen
tree that lay up off the ground.-
White shouted to his friend ta
strike quickly with. the ak, Just
as the panther got loose and was
raising himself up on his feet the
young man hit him with the, AK,
almost cutting him in two. On
Examination they found the slugs
had but made blood blisters on
the panther's body, the skin be.
ing so very tough. 1t was fortu.
nate for the two men that he was
killed before he had a chance to
attack them.
