Miss Mamie Perry Fa'' ]
Forty-seven Feet.
Strikes Between Jagged Rocks
and Is Not Killed.
Is Remarkable Escape From
Fatal Injuries.
From Thursdays Daily.

| From Thursdays Daily.
| terday afternoon, bad accident oc-
Cured at Minneopa Falls at about 2:3O
O'Clock, the victim being Miss Mamie
| Perry, who resides on Beach street She,
with several of her young lady
friends, was spending the afternoon
at the falls, and crossed the stream
from the depot side to the wooded bank
on the other side. The young ladies
tnen sought the edge of the precipice
and followed a patch that is consider
ed so dangerous that few persons have
the hardihood to traverse it. This path
is on a level with the creek bed and
skirts the edge of the sheer face of
rock that forms one of the picturesque
features of the place.
In some way Miss Perry lost her
balance and fell over the edge of the
cliff striking in the sand below, near
the water, and between three jagged
rocks Had she fallen upon either of
the rocks, it would seem as though in
slant death would have followed for the
distance that she fell was forty-seven
feet Miss Perry's friends, intent upon
their own footing, did not for moment
miss her, but when they did they look
ed down into the chasm below and saw
her PROSTATE form. They at once gave
the alarm, and Depot Agent Hodge and
several of the Omaha surveyors at work
there descended below the falls and
picked the young lady up and with
some difficulty got her up to the depot.
She was unconscious and physician
was. hastily summoned from Mankato.
Miss Perry suffered greatly from the
snock, but otherwise was injured very
little. One finger was put out of joint,
but no bones were broken. She did
not regain consciousness either during
the afternoon or evening. She was
kept at the residence of Agent Hodge
until this morning, when she was
brought to her home in this city. 1t
is remarkable that she did not suffer
greater injury.
Miss Perry is about seventeen years
old, and is grand daughter of Hi
Perry, well known resident of this
city. She is member of the Junior
class of the high school.
While it is very dangerous around the
edge of the cnasm, still no accidents of
this nature have occurred for many
years, if ever before. Some have
thought that there ought to be rail
ing around the edge of the precipice, to
prevent children and other sightseers
from getting too near. Undoubtedly
the state, when it acquires the proper
ty, will take steps to prevent accidents.
The names of the young ladies who
accompanied Miss Perry to Minneopa
are Miss Mary Bissit of Sandstone, Miss
Anna How, West Mankato, and sister,
Miss Vera Perry.
The injured girl is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. c.. Perry of Sioux
Falls. Miss Perry and her mother have
been living in Mankato so that the
former could attend school here.
Miss Perry was unconscious all day
today, but her physician expects her to
recover, although she will probably be
confined to her bed for some time.

1t is nearly year since any Ameri-
can magazine has been fortunate enough
to secure story from Kipling; but the
August Century prints a tale, can
Habitation Enforced" which gives us
Kipling at his best. Someone, in COM
pairing Kipling with the old, three vol
ume novelist, has said that he gives us
"the Liebig extract of those cattle low
ing on a thousand hills" SO here,
where two Americans a nervously
broken millionaire and his wife, take
up an enfored habitation in an enchant-
ed corner of England, he contrives to
give quintessence of American and
British civilization-a commentary, in
brief, with vistas such as only a Kip
ling Can open up. A delightful vein Of
satire crops out wherever the British
way and the American way meet, q
vein which will charm readers on both
sides the Atlantic. Most readers, too
will find in this latest story OF the
greatest of living English story writers
the spiritual touch which was sc
strongly manifest in "They" seemingly
marking new and higher phase of de
velopment in man and writer.

Beginning due west Of Point Con-
cepton on the California coast and
continuing at irregular intervals as
far south as the Bay of Todos Santos
In Lower California lie the Channel
Islands. In this ideal region for the
yachtsman, the fisherman and the
hunter one comes to feel like a new
Crusoe on his primitive Isle. And In
very truth Crusoe's semi-mythica
story was enacted upon one Of these
same islands, though minus the man
Friday and the happy ending.
The castaway in this case was a
woman, Danish emigrant, left ashore
through some mischance by the crew
of g. vessel that had sought shelter
behind San Nicholas during a storm in
the early sos. For over seventeen
years the lone creature had lived un-
sought and forgotten, though the time
at length came when, on the days the
mist clearing north winds blew, she
could climb to the Islands highest
point and view the ranchers' herds
grazing upon the mainland.
And at last, when hope and reason
had both long died, the poor, wild,
glbbering creature was found in her
VOLTS burrow among the hills by the
advance guard Of the otter hunters
fraternity, who had long wondered at
the mysterious footprints they found
marked upon the lonely sands.-For'

Last year about 100000 pilgrims
went to Mecca, representing Moslem
population of about 200,000,000 in Tur-

the East Indian and Philippine Islands,

through whose territory the pilgrim
ages pass, but the system 10 not en-

per cent of the pilgrims were reported

Natures Armored Cruisers.

Some of the papers are poking fun
at the story which comessfrom the Bay
of Biscay of crabs weighing sixteen
pounds and possessing claws eighteen
inches in circumference. The joke
would have seemed the funnier, per
haps, had the crabs been described as
opening and eating oysters. AS mat
ter of fact, there is a species which
does crack cocoanuts. AS students OF
Darwin will remember, this extraordi,
nary creature grows to an enormous
size: so large is it that in the larger
ones there is sufficient fat to yield a
quart of palm-oil, derived from theiI
diet on cocoanut. These nuts they
first denude of their tough fibrous Gov

claws beat upon the shell until az

"RoTFERATIoN PRIMus;.'

ArGumeH-tive Youth Gave the In
structor Something to Think About.
The dignity Of the old-time clergy
man of Il small town enwrapped him
SO entirely in the eyes of his people
that jests concerning the foibles of his
youth were likely to be frowned upon
rather than cherished. But Of the col
lege days Of the estimable and much
respected Nathaniel Niles, of West
Fa1rlee, Vermont who was gradual
ed from Princeton in 1866, N. M With
ngton In a recent interesting article
tells US that traditions still survive.
He and his younger brother Sam
uel We're both of them able but ex,
cessively argumentatve youths, and
during their student days they were
known as "Botheration Primus" and
"Botheration Secundus."
Just how much Of bother the frs
botherat1on could be to an unwary pro
fessor is revealed in the famous anec
dote OF the jaek-knfe. It has been re-
lated Of other men than Nathante
Niles; but at least If he cannot be
proved to be the one and only proper
hero Of it, his attested character lends
strong support to his claim.
His instructor in philosophy was lee
turing upon Identity" and had jus
argued that parts of a whole might bt
subtracted and other matter substi
tuted, yet the whole would remain thu
same, instancing the fact that ever,
part Of our bodies is changed in sever
years, yet we remain the same individ
uals.
"Then," said Niles, ''1f had a knit
and lost the blade and had a new blad
put in, it would still be the identica
knifeY
Certainly" was the reply.
Then Il should lose the handl
from the new blade and have anothe
handle made to fit it, the knife woul
| still be the sameT'
THAT is So" said the professor.
"Then, in that case" triumphant
rejoined young Botheration Prlmu,
''if l should find the old blade and tn
old handle and have the original part
put together, what knife would tina
be?"

millionaire. Although his income Is
reckoned at $1,000 a day, at least, and
some people think 1t Is twice that
amount, he has lived at the rate OF
$1,000 a year or less, and his personal
expenses have not been $1,000 year.
That Is a very liberal estimate. He
has two suits Of clothes, one for week
days and the other for Sunday, and he
has worn them as long as anybody can
remember. He has not bought new
overcoat for Is or 20 years, and his nat
ia quite as old as that If not older. A
few years ago he sent for a gentleman
who had done him favor, and In
confidential way said that he was go
ing to reward him with "tp" that he
could work for a profit. Then, to the
mans establishment, Mr.. Sage gave
him the address Of a store on Seventh
avenue where he could get shoes for e
a pair.
To save time the Western Union
telegraph Company serves a free
lunch to its operators, and Mr.. Sage

Nv the Hour.

In these days the rich and the poor
both appreciate the services of the
trained nurse, but until within com
naratively short time the more well
TODD member of society has not had
the opportunity to enjoy one branch of
her professional ministrations. Now,
however, the hourly nurse is becoming
an important member Of society.
Among the poor, says the Boston Tran
script, the district nurse comes in by
the day or hour, as the case demands;
In the families of those in more COM
Portable circumstances, the ordinary
trained nurse is usually engaged by
the week, and she rarely cares to 60
for a shorter time.
The hourly nurse, who has had the
same training, holds herself ready to
answer calls at all times, for one, two,
three or twenty-four hours, as the case
may be- She assists doctors in minor
operations, goes each day to change
the dressings, and makes it easier for
the family to care for the patient dur
ing the rest Of the day.
Again, in these days Of apartment
houses, there are many homes where
1t is inconvenient to have nurse stay
at the house. Here the hourly nurse
Is the right person in the right place.
She comes for the necessary time, plan
ming to meet the physician when he
makes his visit, thus nabling the pa
tent to have, at little expense, all
requisite care, if not the luxury Of con,
slant attendance.
There are many aged people who are
too feeble to take care of themselves
They do not need trained nurse mol
even an attendant all the time, but the
assistance that competent person car
give them for an hour or two daily
greatly adds to their comfort. New
avenues of usefulness open for the
hourly nurse in all directions.
