Bank Held Up. Cashier Killed,

Cody Wyo., Nov. 2.-The First Ma
tional Bank of Cody was held up by
two bandits, and the cashier, R. R.
Middaugh, killed. The robbers rode in.
to town and went straight to the bank
and dismounted. One entered the bank
and the other held the horses outside.
Cashier Middaugh refused the robbers
demand for money and was shot and
instantly killed. The noise of the
shooting brought crowd to the bank,
but the robbers had fed instantly after
the shooting, without further attempt
ing to get money. All the available men
in town were soon in hot pursuit of the
fugitives, who headed for the Hole in
the Wall, the famous wilderness re-
fuge for outlaws. A report has come
to town that the thieves are surround
ed, but this is not confirmed.

Lively Ballooning.
yman's Magazine

From I4ongmans Magazine.
For the first mile, while slowly rising,
the balloon zigzagged between the lower
currents. until at approximately 5000 feet
II encountered a main sweep of air, which
at that height was following the course of
the valley below. The horizon had been
clear at starting and the impression was as
we sailed along in the current that we
should have a fair passage, unless some
cloud, not yet apparent. In our wake could
ride after us and overtake at higher
level where wind velocity is generally
greater. Perhaps, therefore. we paid insult
ficient heed to a murky veil ahead of us.
which began gathering and deepening and
blotted out the view. We were soon envel-
oped in this gray curtain and thus its true
appearance was lost to us; but at New
bury, our starting ground, large crowd
was watching US entering vast and most
menacing thunder-pack, and was wondering
why we did not come down.
The first real warning which we had Of
our predicament was a flash of lightning
close on our quarter. answered by another
on our other side, and almost before We
could realize it we found we were in the
very focus of furious storm which was
being borne on an upper wind, and wild
conflict was already raging round u.s. There
was our own fast current carrying us west
ward; there was the storm cloud slightly
above us hurrying to the east; and added to
these there now descended pitiless down.
draught of ice cold air and hail. We were
doubtless in a cloud which was discharg-
ing lightning over wide area, each flash,
however, issuing from the immediate vi
entity of the balloon and the idea formed
on the writer's mind was that many flashes
were ievel-that is, as II from one part of
the cloud to another. Any that reached
the ground must from our known position
have been at least mile long.
There was another idea forced upon the
party, which was that they would be more
comfortable and far safer elsewhere, and
when suitable opportunity occurred a de-
scent was made to earth.

In Japan.

Do you know that in japan there no
helpless people? The professions of mas
sage and music are left to the blind. If
the blind person has no ear for music. mas
sage Is adopted. with the result that the
blind people become not only very skillful
but self-supporting
Do you know that red is worn only by
children under sixteen years Of age in
Japan? Aren't you glad that this is not SO
here in America?
Do you know that dolls are made so
well, and handled with 50 great care in
Japan that they often last one hundred
years or longer?
Do you know that the games You BOYS
and girls play in America are played over
the whole world in much the same fashion,
although the words as pronounced by the
children Of other countries would not be ia
miliar to your ears? London bridge, l spy,
tag and blind mans buff are played by the
children everywhere, even tine counting of
who is 'it''-"inty, nimty, DUTY, corn, apple
seeds and brier thorn are used by little
German, French and Spanish children, and
even the children in Arabia and Persia.
London bridge has religious meaning in
France that it does not have here. The
two keepers of the bridge are called the
anger and 1.-The bad man The object is
for the players to decide which one they
will choose. The ones who lave made good
choice make the sign OF horns with their
fingers extended over their foreheads, and
pursue those who have made bad choice,
looking upon them as fiends.

who should be who
One day In preparing for house one
child was told to be mother, one the nurse,
one the baby, and one the big sister. Two
boys were thus left unprovided for. One,
of course could conveniently play papa. but
what to do with the other was IA problem.
Edith settled it by saying they coulo have
two fathers.
Two fathers scornfuily said Gladys,
who was eight. "Who ever heard of one
family having two fathers?'
'"They don't nowadays" said the MOTTO
be-yanuuished Edith, but in olden times
when mother was young every family had
two fathers, so that's the way were going
to play"
And they did, and no serious trouble re-
suited from this doubling up Of male pa

Be Willing to Be Nervous.
From Leslie's Monthly Magazine


To argue with nervous anxiety either In
ourselves or in, others, is never helpful.
Arguing with nervous excitement of any
kind is like rubbing afsore. 1t only irritates
it. 1t does not take long to argue excited
or tired nerves into inflammation, but il is
a long and difficult process to allay the in.
fammation. 1t is a, sad fact that many
people have been argued into long nervous
illnesses by would be kind friends. whose
only intention was to argue them out of
illness Even the kindest and most disin-
terested friends are apt to lose patience
when they argue, and that, to the tired
brain which they are trying to relieve. is
a greater irritant than they realize. The
radical cure for nervous fears is to drop
resistance to painful circumstances or con-
ditions. Resistance is unwillingness to en-
dure, and to drop the resistance is to be
strongly willing. This vigorous "willing-
ness is SO absolutely certain in its happy
effect and it is SO impossible that 1t should
fail, that the resistant impulses seem to
oppose themselves to 1t with extreme en-
ergy 1t is as IL the resistances were con-
scious imps, and as If their certainty OF de-
feat-in the case OF their Victims entire
.wiilingness'-rouse them to do their
worst. and to hold en- to their only possible
means OF power with all the more deter
mination. But every sharp attack. II met
with quiet Willingness" brings a defeat
for the ASSISTANTS, until finally the resist
ant imps are conquered and disappear.
