Birthday Surprise.

About twenty young people con-
spired to give Miss Ollie Redman of
South Eighth street a surprise on ac-
count of her birthday, today. They
concluded to make it the evening be-
fore on account of a skating party on
the program for tonight. 1t seems the
young people were more surprised
than the hostess of the occasion as in
some manner she had learned of the
plot and had prepared to receive them
in most delightful manner.
After all kinds of fun and merry en-
ioyment, refreshments were served to
the jolly company, and they are now
all inclined to believe it is a good idea
for the surprised one to have some
little bird whisper in her ear that the
plot is working and almost ripe.

Charity worthilv eestowed

A percentage of all the money re-
coiycd in the treasury Of the Sugar
city Acria, No. 357, Fratcrnal Order
Of Eagles, goes into what is known as
the charity fund. and this fund is used
as its name implies. Recently the
Eagles devoted nice sum to paying
the rent and supplying groceries and
other ncccssarics to Moses Clark thus
helping the old man to a Christmas
that was devoid of hunger and cold at
least Many orders of this character
feel that when they look after the
needs of their own poor they are full
hlling their duty, but in the case OF
Moses Clark the object of charity had
not one iota of claim upon the order,
and the charity thus bestowed is all
tho more commendable because it is
so.

'DId you ever know why II Is that

asked an expert parachute jumper
ut always happens and the explana-
ton generally Is that the preparations
for the ascension could not be made
In time. This is rarely the case. for
the bnlloonlst never had any intention
Of going up earlier than just toward
the close OF day. The reason for this
Is that not only is an ascension at any
other time fraught with a little more
danger on account OF the winds which
usually prevail. but also because by
these same winds the balloor, and para
chute are apt 20 be caeriSI too far
away, perhaps so far that injury may
befall them before they can be recov-
cred.
"The old and experienced balloonist
never makes an ascension except Just
at shutdown. because with the going
down OF the sun the winds subslde
considerably. He can go almost straight
up. break away his parachute and
come down In the very lot from which
the ascension was made.
There is really very little danger in
parachute leaping when the mat who
does It is experienced. The parachute
must open and bring him down safely.

like a chunk OF lead for about 100 feet,
the distance usually covered before the
big bag opens. Then he can guide his
descent readily by raising or lowering
this side or that In order to spill lit
tie air and thus keep Il from drifting.
"A balloon can't be guided, but a
parachute with a man of experience

lily as a boat, for the reason that by
fitting II on one side you can force II

The Baltimore American says
Among the heroes Of the day must
be counted the Louisiana physicians
Who are fighting the battle Of the peo-
bic against the dreaded scourge, and
who will not give up the fight, even
when stricken themselves. It often
takes more courage to face plague
and pestilence in the sickroom than
danger on the field, for in the former
case there lie none Of the excitement
Of the fray nor the prospect OF glory to
win In the end. II is simply the sac
sifice Of life and ofall that makes life
worth living at the call of duty, and
many hero Of the battlefield would
shrink In fear and loathing from the
