Narrow Escape from Death. ,

Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct. 24.-Martin
Limmer, engineer of a thrashing ma.
chine which is operating in LAX coun-
ty, was seriously injured IS the result
of an accident. Only by a miracle DID
he escape with his life.
He was adjusting some part Of the,
cylinder or connections and was Lean
ing forward when the clothing at a.
point oYer his chest caught on the key
in the end of the whirling shaft. In an
instant his clothing had been wound
around the shaft and he himself was
being whirled at a speed which made
the Mortified spectators fully believe,
that he would be dashed to death be-,
fore their very eyes. .
After being whirled on the shaft for
a time the tearing from his body of
every shred Of his clothing free him
from the grasp of the shaft. When re-
leased the velocity at which he was be-
ing whirled around the shaft caused
him to be thrown a number Of feet
from the engine. An examination dis
closed that one of his arms was broken,
a knee dislocated and a rib loosened
from the breast bone.
While being whirled around the shaft
his cheek and forehead struck a key
In one of the gear shafts, cutting an
u5ly cash across his face. Had his
face passed half an inch closer he
would have met instant death.

Perhaps the most important literary
find In years was made in February
last. when a copy Of Titus Androni-
GUS bearing the date 1894, was dis
covered in a Swedish cottage. This
was a very important discovery, not
only because of the rarity of the edi-
ton, but because 1t proves conclusive
~ the Shakespearean authorship and
brings to an end the controversy which
has long been carried on between var
ious critics as to the genuineness Of
that tragedy.

grin. And here is a suggestion fol-
memory Of that ducking in cold
storage for use next July.
Among the skating stories were
traditions Of famous skaters and
fancy skating; description of
masquerade fete in Canada;
thrilling escapes from wild ami
mails by means Of skates; tales
Of woe about days Of thawing
with their slush and ever-present
puddles; delightful times on the
ice playing hockey, prisoner
base, fox and geese, and all the
rest that boys delight in. But
standing out most prominently
were the stories Of the pathetic
first attempts, when Juniors wob-
bled and wobbled and finally
landed so hard as to crack the
ice. That was the beginning and
the end of some skating careers,
but others survived to become de-
ightfully successful.
