enough to give the idea OF a mannish or
stacy stride. The leg should swing freely
from the hip. but without holding the
knees stiff. AS soon as the knee Is stiff.
just so soon the walk becomes military,
and when the leg is moved without
elasticity from the hip therwalk is termed
old or fnfiexible. In walking correctly the
body is bent slightly from the waist. The
waist muscles should be held up. and the
chest erect and leading as Delsarte
tells us.
beautiful walk should comprise a
series of movements, one melting into
the other, without any apparent break.
The women who walk best in the
world are the peasant women. who are
used to carrying baskets or loads on
their heads, and this suggestion is an
excellent one to use when practicing.
Set a book in perfect balance on the
top of the head and try to walk with
out letting 1t drop off, You will learn
in this way to keep the head erect and
the body perfectly poised. To acquire
the free untrammeled step. the follow
ing exercise is useful, and Will at the

several weeks ago by making a balloon
ascension on a dare. Since then she
has made six ascensions successfully.
An immense crowd had gathered
around the balloon at three O'Clock in
the afternoon. the balloon was fully
inflated. and Miss Daley was sitting
on the tapeze. Her manager, Charles
Williams. begged the crowd to stand
back so as to allow the balloon to be
cast off. Finally he gave the word, and
the guy ropes were loosened. One of
the ropes whirled into the crowd
and the loop caught about Mrs. Roper.
The balloon rose rapidly, carrying Mrs.
Roper swinging head downward from
the rope, and Miss Daley sitting on
the trapeze. Mrs. Roper gave one
Shrek of fright and then was still.
having tainted.
The crowd was stricken dumb by
the occurrence, but Manager Williams
kept his head and shouted to Miss
| Daley not to cut loose in her para
chute. The latter understood and was
apparently cool. The guy rope, which
was fastened around Mrs. Roper's leg.
hung from the top of the balloon. and
she swung by Miss Daley, describing
great areas in the air. The crowd be-
low was frantic, women tainted. and
men shouted themselves hoarse. There
was a stiff south wind. and the gas
bag was carried rapidly northward.
Soon Miss Daley was seen trying
to grasp Mrs. Roper as the latter
swung by her. She finally succeeded
in getting hold of Mrs. Roper's hair.
Then it was seen that the balloon was
descending. The crowd rushed madly
in the direction of the balloon. Men.
women and children climbed fences
and rushed wildly through the fields
and woods. Miss Daley, still holding
Mrs. Roper by the hair leaped from
the balloon with her when it was a
few feet from the ground. She sue
ceeded in throwing off the rope when
the balloon again scared into the
clouds and was lost to view.
Mrs. Roper was carried to the home
of DIR. Alice Divine, where after some
time she recovered consciousness. Her
injuries consist of broken hand and
many cuts and bruises.
1t was only a short Is minutes from
the time the balloon went up until the
women were back on the ground, but
to the crowd it seemed hours.

night were beginning to thicken, and
he was not entirely sure of his way.
The imp of the perverse changed his
course, and he began walking In n
circle. This maneuver he continued
until he came to complete reaiiZa-
ton of the situation.
To be lost in Mississippi bottom
after nightfall is enough to give the
most stouthearted rigors. Bears
there are and plenty of catamounts
in this territory, and everyone ac-
quainted with the latter knows him
to be a most formidable feline, par
ticularly after dark.
The lost man took to a tree. He
confesses that he heard some blood

brought his decision to climb to a
head. Into an old willow tree he
quickly climbed, and there spent the
night in considerable trepidation. To
add to his terrors, terrific thunder
storm came up during the night, and
the wayfarer was exposed to its full
force.
Lancaster was found the next day
by negro on a mule. who was one

This Dog is a
Cigar Salesman.

Then Goodwin went into business
at his home town. starting a cigar
jobbing house under the firm of Good
win & Ollie. Goodwin longed to he
on the road again for his own house. and
one day he had an inspiration as he
observed the intelligence displayed
by his dog Rex, then a pup. The ex-
pertinent was tried and it proved sue
cessful, but Rex was quick to learn,
and it was not long before he under
stood that it was to be his work to
guide his master from place to place.
Since he started he has never failed
for a single day to do his duty. When
he first made his trips with the dog
Goodwin had to inquire his way to
the places he wished to visit. but
when once there he introduced Rex,
and Rex never forgot.
He now knows all the trade" In
the various towns the pair make"
and the customers always have cor
G;al welcome for the interesting sales
man.
Rex never makes any mistakes. He
takes It's master directly to where he
wishes to go and loses no time in do
ing so. When they are through with
town he leads the way to the proper
railway station.
Mr.. Goodwin holds him by a strap
that is fastened to the dogs collar. and
code of signals has come to be un-
derstood by them, so that each knows
the meaning of every movement of the
other. Goodwin can tell when he is at
street crossing by the manner in
which Rex ducks his head, giving the
strap slight jerk.
Rex guides his master across the
street safely, no matter how crowded
it may be. and steers him clear of
street cars. automobiles and buggies.
Master and dog have never yet met
with an accident.
In violation of all rules Rex rides in
the coaches of all trains and inter
urban cars in Indiana, for he is known
to all the railroad folk, and all con-
ductors have strict orders to carry the
dog.
Rex is a Gordon setter and is a
handsome animal. Even though he has
the intelligence of man and devotes
the most of his time to doing a mans
work he is still a dog, and when the
occasion oheIs ueliSHts III uolnS some
of the things that it is peculiarly and
particularly proper for dog to do,
such as running" a rabbit
One day recently Mr.. Goodwin was
waiting to change cars at little coun-
try station. He took advantage of the
opportunity to give Rex a short out
ing. and, releasing the dog from his
strap. Rex was soon having the time of
his life in field some distance away.
AS time for the train to arrive ap-
preached Rex was still busy. and
finally Goodwin had 20 send some men
after him. and the travelling salesdog
barely returned to his master in time
to catch the train.

Customers.

he knows the customers and they
likewise know him.
Rex really does the principal part
OF the travelling, and his master, Miles
NJ. Goodwin, sells the goods. The
master is blind, but with the travelling
ability of Rex he is able to cover his
territory as he did before he lost his
sight Rex is his masters eyes.
Goodwin lives at New Castle, near
here. and the story of his affiiction is
a pathetic one. He was handsome
well-built young man and popular
everywhere he went. He made friends
and was a successful salesman. For
eleven years he sold clothing on the
road for an eastern firm. Then blind
ness came upon him. A few years ago
he was stricken with atrophy of the
optic nerve and he lost his sight. He
spent years and large sums of money
in trying to regain his vision, but it
had gone.

Eokomo. Ind-Miss Maude Snow

of the most remarkable sleeps in med

Jackson township eastern Howard
county, Indiana, and the daughter of
d. II. and Mrs. Snow, humble farm
ing folks. Saturday night, four weeks
ago, Miss Snow was seized with a
Sleepy spell. She told her parents
that she would retire for the night.

parents undertook to awaken her she
could not be aroused. Violent meth

lie was unable to tell what was
the matter with the young woman.
Various theories were advanced,
among them that. being of frail CON
siitution, naturally she had broken
down from overstudy. A more SEN
sutional surmise was that she had
quarreled with her lover and nervous
worry had produced the strange con-
dition with which she was afflicted.
1t was a fact that she had a lover

that the young woman had taken his
departure very much to heart. If her
condition is due to lovers quarrel
she has not revealed the fact during
her waking moments
But none of these conjectures af-
forded satisfactory explanation of
tie condition of the young woman,
who continued to sleep, and all the
doctors summoned to her bedside have
as yet been unable to explain the
case.
She lay like one in trance. Her
face is chalky white, but her breath
ing is slow and regular. At times
her features assume the innocence of
childhood.
These conditions have led Spiritual
lists and hypnotists to besiege the
parents for experiments. They insist
that the young woman is under trance
control which can be broken and that
she is possessed by spirit ignorant
OF the conditions with which 1t is sur
rounding her. Hypnotists believe she

from the strange state which en-
thralls her.
The parents are skeptical of all
these things and decline to permit
experiments. Meanwhile Miss Snow
remains in profound slumber. To
arouse her 1t is necessary to prick
her with pins and pour cold water
down her back first standing her in
an upright position. She is violently
beaten and shouted at. for it Is telt
that if not awakened at intervals she
will sleep the sleep of death. When
she comes to herself, as the result
of this treatment, it is any normal

a conversation upon topics of speci~l
interest to her. Her mind is as cleir
as at any time in her life. She talks
intelligently and with interest upon
topics presented to her attention.
Finally the heavy slumber seizes upon
her and she falls into peaceful sleep.
She will go to sleep while talking.
Miss Snow is given but little uf
solid food. OF recent days she has
subsisted entirely upon water. How
long she will live in her present stae
