trnted by the story Of an incident
of which Tallahassee Is said to be the
scene. A visitor to the city was being
shown the places OF interest and of
course was taken to see the capitol.
After looking In at the various Offices,
the Senate Chamber and House Of
Representatives. he was taken up to
the cupola on top OF the building In or
der to get view, OF the surrounding
country from that elevation. Lean
ing out too far he lost his balance and
fell to the ground. The friend who
was conducting the sightseeing expe-
dition rushed down the stairs to the
aid Of the visitors and found him just
rising from the ground after his fight
through the air. Are you hurt?" he
inquired anxiously. "Oh, no." replied
the other, with q smile, we're In Tai
lahassee, you know. l fell slowly"
