"The eyes tell many a fb," said a
psychologist, land that is how l ac-
count for the belief in ghosts. Our
eyes, you see, are always fbbing to u.s.
Mine don't fib to me-" said firmly
a man with a square jaw.
Pardon me-" returned the psycholo-
gist, "but can make your eyes tell
you two fibs right now"
Go on" said the other.
The psychologist took up a newspa-
per. and pointed to the letter S and
the figure 8.
"The top and bottom of the S and
look about the same size, don't they"
he asked.
Yes, about" the man agreed.
Lie number one" said the psycho!-
ogist for look here"
He turned the letters upside down.
",The bottoms, really, are a sr lat deal
bigger than the tops, eh ?"
you're right" the other admitted
reluctantly.
And that's lie number two said
the psychologist, for now look here

AERoNAur ESCAPES DEATH.
Framework of Airship Breaks and Bag
Falls to the Ground.


Cleveland, o., June Awhile making
a trial flight with his airship, Lincoln
Beachley, the young San Francisco
aeronaut, narrowly escaped death by
the collapsing of the framework in the
car. The airship was 500 feet in the
air when the accident occurred and the
daring young navigator was saved
from being dashed to the ground only
by the narrowest margin. He managed
to guide the airShip until it was but
fifty feet above the ground and, altho 1t
fell that distance, he escaped unin-
iured except for few bruises. The
airship was partly wrecked.
Framework Suddenly Coliapses.
EVERYTHING was running smoothly
when, without warning, the two bam-
boo poles at the center of the car, near
the engine, snapped in two.
This caused the entire framework to
double up like jaclSknife. The rapid
Nv revolving propeller was hurled into
the forward end of the big balloon, cut
ting a big opening in it. The escaping
gas caused the car to sway to and fro
and 1t was with difficulty that Beach
ey remained in the cage.
Car Drops Slowly.
The car started to drop slowly and,
the rudder being useless, it was blown
over the park in the opposite direction
from which it was headed. The hy-
drogen gas which filled the balloon
poured down upon Beachey, nearly
smothering him. Fortunately the gas
ESCAPED slowly and there was enough
in the balloon to support the car until
It was within fifty feet of the ground.
The descent had been gradual, but oW-
ing to the swaying of the car and the
fumes of gas Beachey was in constant
danger Of death.

NEW RECORD FOR POLE VAULT.
Worlds Record Beaten by samse Of
Indiana University--12 Feet 47a

inches.
Evanston, ILL.,, June A new
worlds record in the pole vault and
the equalling of the best previous
mark in the 120-yards hurdles marked
the sixth annual meet of the Inter
collegiate Conference Athletic Associa-
ton, on Northwestern Field. Saturday
afternoon. The University of Michigan
took first honors, scoring the over
Whelming total of 81 AS points, the
highest recorded in the history of the
association The University Of Chicago
was second with 20 3-5; Iowa State
Normal was third with 10; Wisconsin
was fourth with 8; Illinois was fifth
with As; Indiana was sixth with s;
Missouri was eighth with .: Drake 2
2-5; Beloit was ninth with 1 40; Pur-
due, Northwestern, Iowa and Miami
took one each.
With the general result, it is a
foregone conclusion that the interest
centered in the performances of the
individuals. Luroy Samse, of Indiana
University, by vauting IL feet AS
inches Correct )and thus establishing
a new worlds record for the event,
was easily first in this respect. His
performance came at the end of the
days events and displaced Garrels of
the University of Michigan, who had
tied the 120-yard hurdle record of is
1-'5 seconds and in addition had won
first place in the 220-yard hurdles and
the discus throw an6 second In the
shot put. He scored is points for
his school
Red" Hamilton, the unheralded
Splinter from the Iowa State Normal
school, won both dashes and landed
his school in third place. The alb
sence of Parsons, the star dash man
of the University of Wisconsin, con-
tributed to this. The Badger" insti-
tuition was fourth with nine points.

Light on the Scriptures.

A former bishop of the Episcopal
church of Indiana once preached to a
black congregation. At the conclusion
of the discourse several of the negroes
crowded about the preacher and
praised his sermon, saying it was the
best they had ever heard. One enthu-
siast exclaimed:
Bishop. you TOT us things we nevah
knew befo."
"Irdeed,' said the bishop, gratiffed
at the praise. What was it told you
that you never knew before?"
"'Bout Sodom an Gomorrah. Why,

WATCHING WHEAT CROP
Traders Beginning to Take Note
Of the Prospects For
Large Yield
HE INDICATIONS ARE GOOD
Prospects So Good for Heavy Yield
That There is Little to Attract Buy
ers-Not Much Can Be Said About
the Spring Crop Yet, However-No
Session of Board Today.

Chicago, June 4.-There was no ses-
sion of the board Of trade today, and
consequently no quotations on grain,
on account of the judicial election in
to take note of the prospects for the
wheat harvest. With the passing of the
Texas wheat harvest without unfavor-
able incident there is feeling of OPP
tinlisn. 1t Is the assumption that the
winter wheat crop is made, and the
effect on the market tone at the mo-
ment is almost as depressing as tho
the grain was already harvested.
1t requires but short look back
ward to demonstrate the fallacy and
danger OF this. Two years ago the
most magnificent crop promise that
Kansas ever had was reduced to a
mediocre yield by rains that began aft
ter the wheat was actually ready for
the reaper-in fact the earliest had al
ready been cut. Only last year a May
condition of winter wheat of $50 was
reduced by harvest to S2.7, and the
June condition of 1871 for spring wheat
was down to SI.3 at harvest.
In Jnue of last year the estimate was
for a total wheat crop of 713,000,000
bu. The final yield was 20,OO0,000 bu
less, altho there were no crop COM
plants meanwhile that were counted
serious. Anywhere from three weeks
to a month must elapse before the
winter wheat crop is out of danger, and
this is usually an anxious period.
Just at the moment the tendency is
to look at the easy going side, assume
a normal harvest and then look at the
effect of such on the market situation.
1t must be admitted that, assuming; all
this, there is little to attract a buyer

On the winter wheat crop.
The spring wheat crop is in too en-
oryonic a stage to admit of a hazard
as to it's outcome. A private crop esti-
nate issued Saturday assumes de-
creased acreage, but it must be re-
membered that this decrease is in COM
parison with the same authority's
igures and not as compared with the
government figures. The latter show
that the area harvested was 1TS72,0O0
acres, or 1,2S7,000 acres less than esti-
mated by the recently credited private
This, of course, gives a diff
ferent view to the new spring wheat

There is much thought food in the

cr truths could not be expressed in

especially iuprcsses one with the
Presidents knowledge Of even minor

The Presidents words apply to
many community and practice.
among them Clmksburg, and Tie
course pursued here by a few prom-
inent Democratic politicians the
time no longer. in the past than the
recent city election. BY reference
to the speech it will be seen he
handles the assassin Of character
without gloves, and he heaps the
most deserved denunciation OF
scoundrels who hide behind hypo
critical pretense at reformation OF
government merely to overthrow that
government and institute one OF
their own, or more particularly to
get themselves into office and power
by sowing the seed of dissatisfaction
and discomfort among those who
have, perhaps, been slightly dis
pleased at some thing of really but
little Importance that that govern
ment has done, or not done. or al,

do this by eXaggeration, misrepresen-
tation, falschood. deception and at
tack upon character of men in both
official and private life. They did
it here with the sole motive of Great
ing and developing prejudice that
would crown them with victory at
the polls. They used their official
organ for the purpose and stepped
out Of their own party for a candi-
date, not because of love or respect
for him (they hate him and always
did,. The newspaper was used tc
prejudice the people against Their
political opponents, and the candi,
date was used to deceive the public
and to conceal their design
and motive-not to better tn,
government but TO get into
office and control. In thi.
respect their course is accurate
~ sized up by the President, though
there is hardly the slightest posi-.
bility that he ever knew any thing
about it. He exposes the motive
and describes the awful revulsion OF
the public feeling after it has ha6
time to recover from the sudden and
startling revelation Of how The PEG,
pie have been so bascly worked and
deceived. \ few excerpts from til,
President Roosevelt's speech are
amply descriptive Of the course
pursued by some of the Demo-
cratic leaders here and are a
lesson within themselves that all
thoughtful people will consider and
be profited by. Especially do these
