THF ART OF FALLING.
What the Gymnast Does When He
TumbIes from High Place.

THE story that a man fell 200 feet
the other day and didn't hurt himself
is amusing said the director of
gymnasium, but, cutting all foolish
ness out, there was more than grain
of truth in it. What I mean is that
man who knows how to fall can fall
considerable distance without getting
anything more than a bruise or two.
The trouble is that the average man
doesn't know anything about falling
easily. Now, one of the first things
that a gymnast or one who performs
anywhere above the ground most learn
is just how to avoid serious injury in
falls Nearly every gymnast tumbles
sooner or later, but, if you will think
it over, the number of professional and
amateur performers hurt in year is
comparatively small The reason for
that is that they have learned not only
how to avoid falling, but how to protect
themselves when the fall does come
Just as an example, 1 had a fall
from height of about twenty feet tlle
other day and I got right up from the
door practically unhurt, although
confess that it shook me up good deal
more than I liked In falling. however,
relaxed my muscles, and as the attn
Ietes say, folded my head into my
chest. I struck on the uppermost part
of nv back Just below the neck When
ANYBODY is falling that IS the part OF
the body on which to fall I am not a
particularly heavy man, but l am fair
ly we'll protected by my muscles Those
on the back of my neck were SurIi-
Gent cushion. With that to help me the
fall wasn't so terrifying. Now, the rea !
son why the ordinary man is so easily
hurt in a fall is that he thinks ne must
steel himself to the ordeal. as 1t were

arms and legs rigid Nine times out OF

NATIONAL LIFEIN TROUBLE
One of Bidders for Kansas Mutual
Involved

The officers of the National Life In
suraroe company. which was the chief
bidder against the Illinois Life for the
business of Kansas Mutual a few
months ago, are in trouble in Chicago
and suit has been filed there to throw
the company into the hands of a re-
ceiver.
Oscar D. WetherelI, former city con-
troIler of Chicago, according to d Chi
cago paper, charges that he has been
unlawfully deprived of 900 shares OF
the capital stock of the company
through a confederacy entered into by
Albert NJ johnson, Eugene M. Prus-
sing Edward A Shedd and others.
Some of these parties were connected
with the bidding of the company for
the Kansas Mutual
WethereIl alleges that he was prac-
tically the owner of the company prior
to June of last year. controlled Sass
shares of its stock. but he put up SOLO
shares as security for some notes The
notes and stock fell into the hands of
johnson and Shedd- WetherelI alleges
that Prussing acting as his attorney
and also as attorney for the other par
ties, secured the transfer of the stock
ties taking advantage of a weak mental
condition on his part. Then the con-
federates, ii is alleged, formed a cor
poration to which it sold the National
Life building without consideration
Now Wetheren asks that the sale of
stock be sat aside that the building be
restored to the company. and that a
receiver be appointed for both the COM
pany and the building.

DO YOU
Know DAN?

We mean Dan Gerwig, the old
est order man in town. If you
do not already know him, you
will like him when you get
acquainted with him. He will
work all of the west part of
town and Oakland for US. He
has reputation for making all
kinds of trouble, for his employ
ers, when his customers do not
get the best there is. Let him
call on you and we will back him
up at all times with the best
goods the market affords.
We have made another change.
We had to put Sam Payne back
on the east side. Some of our
best trade insisted on seeing his
smiling countenance at their
back door again. You will al
ways find Sam a gentleman and
obliging to the limit.
But the father of them all is
Brother Warner. He has work.
ed here for the last 100 years, so
he needs no Introduction. He
has just returned from a two
months vacation and will be
glad to see all of his old GUS
toners and as many new ones
as possible at the "old stand !" i.
We will appreciate your trade
and will treatyou right. Give US

TRIBUTE TO RIIS.
President Roosevelt Speaks at
the RefOrmer's Home.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. s.-President
Roosevelt arrived here from Syracuse at
9:57 o'clock He was driven direct to Sag
amore Hill.
When the special train reached Rich
mond Hill a large crowd cheered him
heartily. All the Sunday school children
of the village, each carrying an Amer
lean flag: representatives of the Twen-
tieth Century club and the Richmond
Hill Republican club and a big gather
ing of townsDeople joined in the well
come to the president when the train
pulled in at the station Flags, hats
and handkerchiefs were waved and the
enthusiasm was tremendous
The president and Jacob Riis appear
ed on the rear platform of the last car
where Mr. Rfis babe gOodby to the
president and he then alighted from the
car. DR.. Kimball- president OF the
Twentieth Century club, advanced and
made a short speech of welcome to the
president.
President Roosevelt responded as fol-
lows:
DIR. Kimban and you men. women
and children of Richmond Hill: l wish
1 could talk better to all OF you. but
VIII ask you to have a little patience
for one moment while 1 thank you for
having come out to greet me- 1 am glad
10 see all of you, and allow me to say
that 1 am most glad to see those who
carry small folks in their arms daughter
and aDplause).
You know I am very fond of Mr..
Riis. and the reason why is because
when I preach about decent citizenship
can turn to him and think he has
practiced just what have been preach
ing. (ApBlause-) The worth of any SER
mon lies in the way in which that SER
mon can be and is applied in practice
OF course am glad to have the chance
Of being with man who shows by his
life that he knows how practically to
apply the spirit of decency unaccom-
panied by mournfulness or false pre-
lenses Of any kind, or any weakness. /
want to see men decent: L want to see
them act square, l want to see them
work That does not mean l want to
see them have sour faces I want to
see all enjoy themselves, men women
and children. I believe in play; 1 be-
lieve in happiness and in the joy of liv-
ing; but 1 do not believe in the life that
is nothing but play. 1 believe that you
have a thousandfOld more enjoyment
If work comes first. but make your time
to play also I believe in cheerfulness
as we'll as in decency and honesty and
in the next place. 1 believe in the good
man who can fight if il is necessary
(applause) as you fought in the Civil
war.
Now. Jake Riis never could have
been of any use in the police department
if he had always carried on a rosewater
revolution Unless a man has the stuff
in him. the fact that he is a decent fell
low does not count II he Is not decent,
then the stronger he is the worse he is
as a citizen 1 want to say how deeply
touched 1 am at your coming out to
greet me and I want you to understand
that you give me strength of heart
when you come in this way [ greet you
all. am glad to see the grown up peo-
pie Of Richmond Hill. and I am even
more glad to see the children" CHEERS

Two Kinds of Financiering

II saw a man on the street the other
day who got away with one of the
simplest bank frauds 1 ever heard of, y
said bank inspector who was in New
York last week on his regular tour Of
duty. This man was employed in a
bank in a city up state. 1t turned out
when the bank closed its doors that it
had been run very loosely, but that had
nothing in particular to do with this
mans operations. He was clerk in the
bank and made up the quarterly inter-
est account
This was a sheet showing what was
due each depositor for interest 1t gen
orally ran to three or four sheets, and
the footing of each had to be carried to
the top of the next one Well, about the
third sheet the clerk would enter the
footing properly. then let drop of ink
fall on the first column Of the figures.
He would let it dry there. thus ooscur-
ing the footing of the sheet.
In carrying over to the next sheet
the footing that was blotted he would
add 81 600 so that the total of the re-
port would show 81 900 more chargeabl
to interest than actually was charge
against the bank He let this report
90 to the directors of the bank with the
idea that if the error was detected he
would account for it by the blot, Sa ytng
he had made a natural mistake When
the sheet went through unquestioned he
proceeded to get possession OF the $l,OOO
by opening an account in the name OF
a fictitious person and crediting this ac-
count with $1,000. The banks accounts
were thus forced to a balance
Then by drawing checks on the ac-
count of the fictitious depositor he
would draw the money out When we
nabbed him he made confession He
had been stealing about $1,000 a year
in this way. That was the bank" con-
tinued the inspector. where, when the
directors found the hole in the bottom.
they fitted up a presidents Office In
magnificent style, went out and got an
ambitious millionaire, showed him the
Office asked him If he wouldn't like TO
be president and then sold him their
stock at $50. He wasn't in a month
before the bank failed-'-New York Sun.

PAY SPOT Cash.
Day of the Fee Buyer in Police
Court Is Over.
Judge Will Settle With Wit
nesses at Trial.
HE HAS BEEN COSTLY.
Mr.. Good an Expensive Luxury
to the City.
Mayor Thinks Court Can Get
Along Without Him.
HE HAS BEEN COSTLY.

Beginning this week some time, the
police judge will pay all witnesses in
police court with spot cash, and the day
Of the fee-buyer in that court will be
done. The city has taken this action
partly as retaliation on Fee Buyer E. 5.
Good. who has been persistenly trying
to make the city pay $L50 a day for
witnesses in police court, as the county
does in the district court.
There is no law providing for the i'm
mediate payment Of police court witness
fees The witness on behalf of the city
has been allowed to claim his fees. and
the claim had to wait until passed upon
by the auditing committee and allowed
by the council at the first meeting in the
month following Most people dislike
to bother with such a small amount in
this way, and consequently when the
fee-buyer approaches them and offers
them 80 cents for the rs cent claim,
many of them accept the offer The
fee-buyer holds the claim until allowed
by the council, and then collects his IS
cents, making net profit of % cents on
the transaction.
It seems, however. that Mr.. Good was
inclined to be grasping- Before the city
fixed Is cents as the fee for witnesses.
Mr.. Good bought up a large number of
witness fees and by a lawsuit. COM
PEELED the council to pay $1.50 apiece for
them At the council meeting last
night, the last chapter of that transact
ton was enacted when the council de-
cided to pay Mr.. Good the $3.50 involved,
and take no appeal to the supreme
court
Since those claims were settled a new
ground Of dispute has arisen The first
months after the city passed the Scent
Zee ordinance Mr.. Good put in his bill on
that basis and was apparently satisfied
For the past two months however, he has
been making out his bills on the old 81
plan. The auditing committee has re-
fused to allow but IS cents and Mr.. Good
has accepted the money under protest.
Mr. Good says that his attorneys have adj
vfsed him that he can collect at the old
S1-5O rate, and he proposes TO try it, What
ground the attorneys have for such con =
clusion will probably develop when they
| get ready to bring a suit against the city
| in Mr. Goods behalf.
This hostile attitude Of Mr.. Good has
moved the city to roll few bouIders into
4 Mr. Goods path The city will virtually
any business in Zee buying around the po-
lice court 1t will cut him out of an in
come which sometimes amounts to 80 a
month. The witness fees of 100 witnesses
means an income for Good of SIS
The new scheme is said to have been
the mayor, the. police judge, the chief of
police and the CITY attorney. Money from
/ the city treasury will be placed in tina
hands of the police judge sufficient to pay
I of witnesses in fun Each month the po-
lice judge will make accounting for
amounts paid out 1t is not likely that
more than 500 Will be needed each month
TO carry out this scheme for the discom-
/ future of Over-eager Mr.. Good.
