LEAP FOR LIFE THRILLS.
The High Diver Tells How it Feels to
jump From the Top of the Ladder

ObIlp IOIIl VIC Op " hllC IdbNCls
Prof Dana Thompson, the high div
er, after resting from the effects of
his three jumps on the Fourth of July
again appeared on the top of his tall
ladder Saturday, bowed to the gazing
crowds, slipped his feet off the plat
form and dropped through space, DO
ing a somersault meanwhile, TO the
tanlfu of water below
After doing three dives on TUESDAY
Mr.. Thompson became somewhat IN
as a result of the chills he received
The three trips to the water tank
made him shiver and did him up.
For the past four years. pretty near
ly every day of the year. Thompson
has been doing the high dive stunt
In the summer time he is in the north
and in the winter time In the south
His sensations. as he falls through
the air may be described as those OF
a person who, in dream falls off a
high bridge and sinks down down
down through space. The trick of
doing the stunt is all in the start II
he starts right, Thompson has no fear
of not ending right side up.
'Do you ever feel frightened before
the dive" was asked
mot exactly frightened" he said
though I do realize that every time
I jump may be the last know that
| must be absolutely positive OF my
position in the start and that slip
or a wrong turn of my body may hurl
me to death. | realize that slight
twist of the wind may blow me out Of
the path or that. in turning the somer-
sault, I may twist not quite right and
then split myself open on the water.
OF course it is dangerous, but it is
thrilling for all that"

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dol
lars Earned.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too care
ful about unnecessary expenses Very
often a few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
It costs but few cents, and a bottle
of it in the house often saves a doc

at heart the health and comfort of their

attendance would subject them. The

Oranges in Florida.

From the dainty little tangerine, or
kid glove orange" to the superb
Washington navel, there are many gra-
dations in size, color and flavor, and a
wide range of seasons of ripening, says
the Pilgrim Magazine. 1t is possible
here in middle Florida, on the west
coast, to have this delicious fruit ripe
and fresh from the trees every month
in the year. 1t is, indeed, in this por-
ton of the peninsula that the finest
favored of all the oranges grow; for
the combination of long warm days and
cool nights imparts the rarest aroma
TO this fruit of the far Orient.
Orange picking time is quite as dis
tinctively marked a season in Florida
as cotton picking in Georgia and the
Carolinas. High prices are paid, and
all the labor possible is drawn in from
neighboring sections. Gathering this
beautiful fruit is no playwork, either,
but it has its compensations in every
sense.
Nowadays the crop is largely sold
to the northern buyer on the tree, at
an average price of 81 per box, except
for fancy varieties or very superior
quality. The grower usually prefers
this method, which relieves him of
much responsibility in the gathering
and packing, besides endless worry
over freight rates.
