floor are the library, drawing-room

But it is up a wide staircase to the
second floor that one must go to find
a room about 20 feet square, furnished
with chintz-covered chairs, hung with
pictures, such as have long since been
consigned to the fashionable and

strewn with sewing tables, chests a
tea table and music box. Everything
is oldfashioned, with one exception.

GIRL WON'T TAKE DARE:
MAKES PARACHUTE LEAP
Inexperienced Young Lady Horrifies
Friends by Going Up in Balloon
Lands in Safety.

Middletown, N. Y-Rather than
take dare.' Miss Margaret Daley,
aged 20. of Middletown, made a bal
loon ascension and parachute leap at
Midway park, summer resort near
here. 1t was the first time the young
woman had ever been higher than the
top of the tallest Office building in
Middletown. She knew absolutely
nothing/of ballooning or the manage
ment of parachute.
Her horrorstricken friends watched
her cut loose from the balloon thou
sands of feet in the air. She dropped
with the parachute and landed about
two miles and half from her start
ing point, uninjured, but completely
unnerved.
With several companions at the
park she stood near the balloon while
1t was being inflated. Suddenly Miss
Daily took her position on the trapeze
and told the helpers to cast off. The
balloon sailed swiftly upward with
Kelly, the aeronaut, sitting on the
trapeze. There was gasp from every
one. The crowd below expected every
moment that Miss Daley would fall,
but she clung tenaciously to the trap
eze.
When she had ascended nearly
1000 feet the parachute was seen to
drop. The young woman fell like
streak of lightning. Then the para
chute opened and Miss Daley, sus-
pended from the trapeze. floated gent
ly downward.
She was found by her friends, much
frightened by her experience. but also
elated at the successful outcome of
her first balloon ascension. She said

the estate is a short distance from tho

senger trains stop for coal and water.
When Mr.. Freer saw north-bound
freight train about to pull out of the
station he decided that 1t would pc
much easier to ride on II as far as the
coaling station in the north yard than
to walk home or wait until his horses
could be sent to town. So. without
attracting attention. he boarded the
freight and took up a good, secure
position on the bumpers between cars.
AS the freight. with Mr. Freer

solitary passenger commented to him.

an experienced hobo, but Mr. Freer Is
athletic and he clung tenaciously TO
the cars.
It was a fast freight that Mr. Freer
mad boarded. and the engine had taken
on coal and water before starting. At
the end OF two hours the train slowed
down and finally stopped at Ravena.
Wiping dust and cinders from his
eyes Mr. Freer, hardly recognizable
through his coat of dirt climbed
down, looking more like a hobo than
millionaire.
Passenger trains on the West Shore
railroad do not run as frequently as
they might run. and Mr.. Freer faced
wait of three hours. While he was
debating how to meet a dinner en-
gagement a south-bound freight came
into sight This time 1t was fiat cars,
loaded with steel rails. but Mr. Freer
Jumped it, and headed for home.
The same Providence that provided
the freight for the millionaire way

should make the usual stop for coal
and water and without halt the
weary wanderer was set down in

had boarded the northbound train

Mr.. Freer's disappearance had ere

family and friends. and they were
greatly relieved when he showed them
that he was safe and unharmed.

SO much Of his life in arid lands of

that Mrs. Ryan interested herself in
the missions to the Indians. She has
built IL churches throughout the
southwest and she has done much for
tuberculosis sufferers in that region.

IN cISTERN TWENTY DAYS.

Portsmouth, N. H.-Dr. S. F. A.
Pickering, of this city. is the proud
owner of dog which spent 20 days
inside an abandoned cistern near the
Farragut house at Rye Beach.
A short time ago his owner placed
him in care of man near the summer
hotel, where he only made trouble for
his owner and keeper. Suddenly Spot
disappeared
No amount of searching or whist.ing
could bring his dogship back to his
keeper. Spot was given up as dead,
and the only relic of the Doctors pet
was his license record at the city hall.
After mourning Spot among the
missing for 20 days, the man who had
had him in charge met two men near
the Farragut house.

case, 'is the very spot where | last

as many dollars.
Mrs. Ryans life has not been with
out cloud and bitter grief Death and
long Illness have weighed heavily on
the mother heart, and that great flood
of sympathy given her by nature is
ever wide to a fellow sufferer. Long
and intimate acquaintance with Illness
has given her practical knowledge,
and she knows more about medicine
than many a man with a license. Two
of her boys have been stricken down
with lung trouble, and the great white
plague holds greater terrors for her
than any other physical affiiction She
has given of her financial and personal
aid toward the cure of those afflicted
with this disease.
Il am more afraid of sneeze than
of sprain, and cough than a broken

Day in and day out she sits and
knits and knits and knits, with a
steadfastness of purpose that ruled
the fingers of Nine. Jacobin. But the
stitches she takes are not the record
of evil destinies. They mean succor
for the sick and heavy laden, work
for idle hands, bread for the hungry,
enlightenment for the untutored.
Gentle, sympathetic, intensely pious,
home-lover and a home maker is
this woman-this mother in the old
fashioned meaning of the word, the
wife of Thomas Fortune Ryan.
The characteristics of Thomas Ryan,
money-making prince and Wall street
baron, in way also rule in the life
of Mrs. Ryan, builder of churches,
hospitals and schools, and the little
known but enthusiastic cooperator in
every move making for the betterment
of the human kind. 1t has been said
OF her husband that he has had fin
ger in every big financial pie in the
last decade. She has had hand in
nearly every philanthropical work in
New York, Virginia, the District of
Columbia and the southwest in that
time. She is now giving away more
than S1.000,000 a year.
This woman, of whom the world
knows practically nothing, has built
more churches, hospitals and schools
and endowed more places for the wor-
ship of God than perhaps any other
living person. She gave $1,000
last year alone to the churches and
schools of Virginia, her native state.
Publicity is Mrs. Ryan's bette noir.
To give without ostentation is the only
way to give, according to her belief.
There is no difference between Mrs.
Ryan of 80 years ago and the Mrs.
Ryan of to-day. 1t was of no moment
to the public then what she did or did
not do. She cannot understand why
it should be interested now. She
counts herself as doing no more than
