Describes Sensation of Fall

At the time of his fall down the ele-
vator shaft yesterday morning the
young man was crossing board SPAN
ming the shaft on the fourth floor. To
young Bristow everything seemed per-
fectly safe, but as he reached the
center of the plank the board suddenly
turned on its forward end and Brstow
was plunged down the opening.
81 cannot account for the accident
I'm any way" said Bristow yesterday,
Except that the board from some un-
known cause moved backward with me.
and as it was laid diagonally across
the opening, turned as on a pivot, drop
ping me like a plummet.
THE sensation was like that in q
dream when you seem to suddenly drop
into space. / did not feel that l was
falling, but everything seemed to rush
up at me with a sickening speed. At
the first floor my fall was broken by
some scaffolding reaching out from the
hall. I struck it with my feet and was
tripped in way that caused me to
strike on my head on a big pile of
debris on the basement floor.
81 do not believe that ] lost con-
6clouSness for a moment but I was
more or less dazed for a short time. |
am so used to accidents and have been
batted around so much that 1 have the
proverbial death-proof qualities of the
cat.
Physicians Fear Internal Injuries
1.-The accident has come on top of the
news of my mothers sudden death in
Washington. Yesterday l received a
telegram from my sister in Haigler.
Neb.. telling me of my mothers death
In Spokane, Wash. But. during the
latter part of my life she has cared
little for me. When | was but II years
old she left me and married a man
named Bailey. Since that time I have
heard nothing about her until the re-
ceipt of the telegram yesterday"
Bristow was born in Nebraska and
nearly all his life has been obliged tC
work his own way. Four years ago he
entered the plumbing business in his
native state, and. after acquiring a
fair knowledge of it. he moved to Den
yer where he worked until the first
part of November. At that time he
moved to Los Angeles and has since
been employed by Thomas Havertv
and is said to have met with much
success.
Were it not for a bad pain in his feet
Brlstow would leave the hospital but
ne is unable to walk The surgeons
fear that he has sustained internal in
1urles which will develop later. But
the young man says he believes he has
not. -''

HIS OUTING ENDED.

Adoph Koch. the invalid member at the Home
for Incurables. Chicago. has written long ac-
count Of his delightful Sunshine outing for two
weeks in Michigan. He says in part:
If never have another, I shall always look
back upon this one as the greatest event of my
invalid life. and can never thank the T. S. S.
friends half enough for providing the means for
such a lovely vacation to poor crippled man.
I could not realize my good fortune at first: it
seemed like fairy tale that I. who for fourteen
years have never spent a single night away
from the home. could enjoy life in the world
once more. But [ did, and everybody was SO
kind 10 ne It sesmed strange to. sit at the
table with friends once more when all these
years ! had eaten my meals alone in my little
room. The day after I arrived a lady sent me
= basket Of choice fruit and bouquet of lovely
flowers. ! went driving through the orchards
and picked ripe peaches from the trees: was
taken through parks; sat on the beaches and
watched the bathers: took a. sail over the lake
was driven over high hills and through lovely
valleys and saw the beautiful work Of God in
nature as never expected to see it again.
On my return I found my room in the home
all decorated with flowers d large printed motto
Welcome home" over the door, and both the
doctor and the superintendent welcomed me
back It made me feel good to think / had
been missed, and all seemed SO pleased to see
me again To those I know who contributed to
my outing have written personal thanks but
/ desire through the column to express nv
gratitude to Mrs. b, who sent me S. for nv
birthday, and q similar for my trip.
