There has been something do ing in the Circuit Clerks office since the first of January. Depu- ty Clerk Hodges informs us that from the first of January 1906, to the 22nd day of March, 1906 that there has been 200 deeds and lS1 deeds of trust recorded and 671 deeds of trust on personal proper ty filed in that office.
 The number of deeds recorded is far in excess of any other year in the same length of time and goes to show that property has been changing hands at q pretty lively rate. The personal deeds are somewhat in excess of the same time last BatesvilIe Guard.

COURTlNG BY FIRELIGHT.

Uncle Ben was giving the boys advice in their love making affairs, and one of them asked how the young people did when lie was sparkling. Them was great times, boys" he replied, =" great times. We didn't have no gas, no coal oil nor new fangled notions, and we did our sparkin' by plain tallow dip, but most frequently just by freight. Firelight is warmin' boys, and fiickers enough to make a girls eyes shine, and the peach blossoms glow on her cheeks. It's mighty soft and purity, too, kinder reaches out and melts two hearts together in q way that none of your electric lights know nothing about. Sometimes the fire shined up too bright in places and the  young man would get up without saying anything and put a shovel full of ashes on it. Then he would cuddIe up to the girl in the shadows and she would cuddle some too, and 1t didn't seem that there was anything in the whole, big, round earth to be wished for. Party soon the fire would get ob- stgeperous again and the little flames would twinkle in and out as If they were laughing and winking about 1t and having some fun too, and the young man would reach for the shovel and the ashes and cover the bright blazes all up. And some times the girl would get up and put the ashes on, and then-well boys, when the blue birds come in the spring, and the fshin' worms crawl out of the ground ard the little boys sit on the green banks of the creek wait ing for bite and the johnny jump ups nestled in the sunny places, there was weddin' in tue old house and the pdrty bride wore ap pie blossoms in her hair and the awkward fellow blnshcs in his store clothes and tight boots; and winter came, they sit by their own fire and the shov and ashes are out of a job.

AMERICAN HEN A TRUST BUSTER
She Needs No Big Appropriation And Never Calls for Help
 but Lays Down on it.

IOIOfe, lb HAS ottH ahoNtiSo Aiho the old one whether 1t is right to cheat a lawyer: Right but inn possible. The strongest agencies in this country have been grap- bling with this knotty problem. but up to date not single success .aas been scored. The trusts. shot at from all directions like wild beasts; bounded like deer in the forests, sail on like phantom ship through all obstructions and untouched by any of the ammuni- ton fired at them. The socialists have howIed; the party platforms have viewed with alarm, :" the po- litieal orator has grown red in the face as he denounced; the state legislators have enacted; many governors havo demanded; and finally for years past the great federal government itself has been engaged in a gigantic effort to head off the omnipresent octopi. The beef trust has been hauled over the coals, the railroads have been made miserable over their mergers. the tobacco trust has been smoked out and the mighty Standard Oil lion has been beard ed in his den. All to no purpose; it was waterhaul in every case. But mightier power than all these has stepped 10 the front to show the leaders of the land how the thing can be done.
 The great American hen enter ed the lists, threw down the gaunt let and invited one of the most DO tential of the minor trusts to fight to finish. The cold storage com bine, backed by millions of dollars and ramifyiug throughout every corner of the country, is the vic tim of misplaced confidence. An agricultural exchange says the cold storage combine entered the field year ago as buyer of eggs and piled them up in the cellars of their warehouses by the mil lions of dozens. So certain were they of big profits to come, that they paid stiff prices for that sea- son of the year, with the result that enormous sums of money were tied up in every important city of the country. The scheme, of course, was to await cold wealth CT as sure booster of the market, when 1t would be easy for the trusts to take down the profits. But. "the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee. y The great American hen had made oth CT arrangements and concluded, for just this once, to keep a full supply of fresh eggs all winter. This was more than the trust had Sare aimed for, and it was not long before they began to show signs uf distress. They stood it pretty well through December and Janu ary, but about the first of Febru- ary there were indications of crash.
 The authority quoted says that one concern in an Indiana town turned its face to the wall to the tune of one hundred thousand dollars clear loss from inability to guess what the hen would do. !" Many others in various parts of the country followed suit, and there was not cold-storage egg establishment which did not feel the cold shivers running down its backbone long before the Ides of March proclaimed the close of winter.
 The moral of all this is obvious. pracident RooseVelt and ConoreSS

whom l had employed to assist me
in making certain experiments with
aeroplanes. His name was Leblanc.
During our experiments, a circus
came to the town in which they
were being carried on; and Leblanc,
who was a clever acrobat, made ar
rangements with the circus people to
give a mid-air trapeze performance.
The trapeze upon which this acrobatic
performance was to be given was at
tached to small captive balloon. A
captive balloon is one which is at
tached to the earth by rope, SO that
it cannot escape, and can be recov-
cred at will by simply hauling in on
the rope. The ascension was made
in fine style, Leblanc sitting calmly
on his slender trapeze, waving his
hand at the shouting crowd below.
The circus tents had been pitched
on the outskirts of the town, and

the discovery.
Fortunately the wind was light,
but the balloon with Leblanc clinging
to it was carried rapidly over toward
the town. It's course lay directly for
one of the large brick chimneys to
which I have referred. As it drifted
closer and closer to this structure,
we watched it with spellbound eyes.
My own fear was that, in passing close
above the chimneys, the heat would
cause such expansion that the balloon
would burst and the aeronaut be
dashed to the ground. And this
would have happened but for one of
those strange vagaries of the wind
which SO often occur. When within
thirty or forty yards of the structure,
the wind made sudden swoop down
ward, the balloon sinking until it
was lower than the top of the Chin
ney, against which it plunged awk

having reached a nelgnt OF over TOUR
thousand feet, Harris's invention,
which was in the form of an extra
large valve, was found to be beyond
control. The gas could not be let out
of the balloon, and in the higher and
more rarefied air the gas expanded,
until at length the big silk bag, dis
tended beyond its resistance, burst
with a loud explosion. The daring
aeronaut and his companion, who
was a woman, were precipitated to
the earth with frightful ra pidity. The
wicker basket struck the ground with
a loud crash and, rebounding, threw
Harris to one side, his companion to
the other. The man was killed in
stantly, and the woman was injured
for life

is not, however, nearly so grave an

The aeronaut, all this time, was clinging to his
slender trapeze, swinging back and forth As the
balloon caroned into the chimney, he dashed
with tremendous force against the brickwork.
Watching him, I, of course, expected to see him
release his hold of the trapeze and fall to the ground

down, and began to perform a serious of gymnastic
feats upon the bar. Looking at him intently, sud

Killed IN yachting than IN palloomng'
Why, then, is there a popular i'm
preston to the effect that ballooning
is so dangerous? Mainly, think, for
the simple reason that there are SO
few people killed while ballooning. In
the first place, until lately, balloon
ing has been confined to few, mainly
acrobats and aeronauts. If a man
was killed while ballooning, the very
strangeness of his death occasioned
wide notoriety. On the other hand,
death met while engaged in some
water sport, swimming or yachting, is
so common an occurrence that little
Importance is attached to it.
Ii you take up the morning paper
and read the account of a yachting
party of ten, six of whom were
drowned through a capsize of the
yacht, you will probably pass it by
with glance; but if on the next page
YOU read that an aeronaut was killed
through the bursting of his balloon

mile above the surface of the EARTH the account would
remain in your memory. You would forget the six
people who met death while yachting, and remember
the one who died spectacular death while balloon
ing The result is that remember wildly the two
or three who are killed every year in balooning;
while we accept, as matter of course, the four
more score of people who every season meet their
death in the water. AS result of some experience
and observation along these lines, have no hesita
ton in saying that feel much safer in the of

above downward the escape of gas is much less
rapid than would be imagined. Again, the collapsed
portion of the balloon usually becomes caught in
the netting in such way as to form an effective
parachute that the descent of the ripped or burst
balloon is usually regarded by aeronauts one
of the real dangers of their work
In fact, every balloon is provided with what is

IN an OrCnarQ three miles away, ana on
of Leblanc injuries, l found that he had sutaned
fracture of three of the ribs of his left side. Had
he released his hold upon the trapeze, he would,
of course have been killed. As it was, in two months
he active and lively ever, and back again
at his aerial experiments. This is one case out of
many where the aeronauts has saved his life.
Balloons Liable Many Accidents
ITO adventurous souls the great charm of ballooning
is its uncertainty No one ever knows exactly
what is going to happen for the gamut of casualties
that may occur is practically unlimited Sometimes
balloon loses it's buoyancy to just such extent
that it is whirled along little above the ground,
with the and the unfortunate aeronauts banging
against stone walls trees houses, and other obsta
cles. Sometimes the escape valve fails to work
properly. The balloon mounts higher and higher,
and cannot be made to descend. This situation
arises occasionally, and is always a serious
Sometimes the wind, which the earth in
land from the sea- is only few hundred feet high
and above this there is found ano her current setting
in opposite direction toward the sea. Occasion
ally the balloon meets with some lofty obstruction
such as tall chimney, tree, building or some
thing of the kind. Again there is danger of
explosion.
The a6ronaut must be prepared to cope with all
these and many other casualties Often error
of Judgment, a moments hesitation, a lack of
grit may grave danger, if not loss of life.
So the balloonist is, perhaps more than any other
sportsman, sure of some sort of adventure.
Some years ago Lieutenant Harris of the British
navy made ascension in a balloon fitted with
continuance of his own invention. The ascension
was made under favorable circumstances, but after
