superiority of an engaged girl.
Amelia Evershed smiled, enigmatic-
ally. "Oh, know what l know" she
said. give had my little experiences

most crying with indignation at the
idea.

There was note of amused incred-

to be pregnant with sinister meaning

Amelia smiled provokingly, as she
uttered these two words, with the air
of one who could, and she would,
throw good deal of light on the sub
ject under discussion.
What are you driving at, Amelia?
You must tell me what you mean by

TWO ANECDOTES OF CRAVE

A New York newspaper man who
knew Stephen Crane, one of the most
promising writer's of English of his
generation-who died before he was
30-when he was in London just after
his return from the Graeco-Turlish
war, relates some amusing stories con-
corning that erratic genius.
One morning Crane dropped into a
newspaper Office to borrow a sover-
eign from friend. He said that he
was going to luncheon with Harold
Frederic, now also dead, for whom he
had an admiration almost amounting
to awe, but with whom he was then
only slightly acquainted, though they
afterward became inseparable friends.
In the middle of the afternoon
Crane came back for another sover-
eign and told tale of woe. He had
asked Frederic into a pub" to have
an appetizer on their way to luncheon,
and had handed out the sovereign he
had just borrowed in payment there

MEN DROP A MILE AND A HALF.

Thousands See Horrifying Descent
From Broken Military Balloon.
Thousands of spectators who had
gathered on the outskirts of Rome,
Italy, to witness the ascension of an
immense balloon, containing a cap
tain and eight soldiers, were horri-
fed when the netting of the great air.
ship parted mile and a half above
ground, precipitating the nine men to
instant death.
Their bodies, hurting through mid.
air, landed within small area. The
spectators, as if with one accord,
turned their heads away as the bod
les neared the earth, and cries of hor<
ror went up from the crowd.
In the frightful descent the twirling
figure of the captain, arrayed in be-
-spangled uniform, was distinct mark
for the vision of the Mortified specta-
tors, many of whom cried out, 'Di
Capitaine! Di Capitainei" Due to the
fact that the military balloonists were
spilled in twos and threes from the car
of the. huge balloon, the bodies re-
tanned that series during the fall,
there being two groups of three and
one. group of two in the terrible de-
scent. Following these the ninth
man, who had contriyed to cling to
the netting an instant longer than the
others, smashed to earth.
Several of the bodies crashed on
top of the others, making the sight
more horrible.
When the officers III the near by
barracks who had gathered to witness
the ascension recovered from the
shock they ordered the immediate vi
entity cleared of the throng, among
which were hundreds of women. In
other parts of the ground women who
had tainted were being carried to
places of shelter, while doctors were
summoned to administer to them.
Hundreds, recovering their senses
rushed to where the nine bodies la
1t is estimated by several eminent
scientific men that the men may have
been dead before their bodies struck
the earth. Relieved of the weight of
its human cargo, the gas bag, which
had remained intact, scared into the
clouds, attaining height which made
it after while invisible.
The military officials are making an
investigation as to the probable cause
Of the horrifying accident. It is be-
heved that a defect in the webbing of
the envelope caused the accident. A
public military funeral was accorded
the bodies of the balloonists.

down before Frederic, who engaged
in an earnest discussion with Crane,
had mechanically picked it up and
put it in his pocket, without pausing
fer a moment in his conversation.
Cranes reverence for his fellow
craftsman was so profound that he
preferred to lose the money rather
than embarrass him by asking for it.
Acquaintance of S. S. Mcclure, pro-
prietor of McClure's Magazine, will
appreciate Cranes emotions on an
other occasion about the same period.
Mcclure has two brothers. and the
three bear a striking resemblance to
one another. with their pronounced
Scotch features and fair hair and mus
taches. Crane rushed up to a frieE%
in Trafalgar Square one morning in
a condition of great excitement.
'I've had a terrible Shock" he said.
81 was coming through the Strand just
now and l saw three S. S. McClures
standing at the corner of Bedford
Street"

FIRST AMERICAN HINDoo.

condition tonight is much more favor
able than any time since his illness
took serious turn.
LATER. During the evening Carl
Schurz's condition took a sudden turn
for the worse, and grew rapidly more
serious. The following bulletin was
issued by physicians at 9 p. M: "Mr.
Schurz has had more frequent attacks
of Inconsistencies during early even
ing hours. There has been also anoth-
er attack of pulmonary oedena, but
thus far it is moderate. Temperature,
pulse and respiration are still rising"

ANGLING FOR 4 RISE.


Hilda Joicey and Amy Evershed
were bosom friends, according to the
standard of bosom friendship that Cd
tains between girls in their early TWEEN
ties. They made point OF seeing
each other twice or thrice every day,
and spent most of the remainder OF
the twenty-four hours in writing eacn
other effusive notes. Neither had d
secret from the other. Their whole
converse. viva voce or by letter. was
one perpetual interchange OF mutual
co. sldences. Had you breathed to
Shern the hint that this excess OF fond
ness was bound to be followed, sooner
or later, by reaction-that the pace, IN
fact. was too warm to last-tney
would have resented the ridiculous
suggestion with mingled indignation
and amusement. And yet the reaction
was even then impending; the httle
rift within the lutte was close at nand;
and--as you will probably not be sur
prised to hear-a man was the cause
of it.
The man in question was Reginald
Smart-Shryke, the eldest son OF
neighboring squire, and heir to nve or
six thousand year. For some years
he had been friendly with both girls.
But it was Hilda Joicey with whom ne
ultimately fell in love, to whom he
proposed and by whom he was accept
ed.
So far all was well. Amelia Ever
shed betrayed no sign of jealousy. On
the contrary, she congratulated -ner
darling Hilda warmly on the engage
ment.
But | must get on to the little rift
within the lutte which l have spoken OF
as impending. 1t came about in this
way: Hilda was one afternoon pour
ing into Amelias receptive ear all
sorts of intimate condolences in rela-
ton to her wooing by Reginald Smart
Shryke.
And when he takes me in his arms
and kisses me-" she cried, "oh, Amelia,
when he takes me in his arms and
kisses mel"
us it-er-very nice, Hilda?'
Nice? 1t is heavenly. He does II
so beautifully-with such-such-I do
not know how to express it-but
there's an eloquence about it that
that"
Just so,' Amelia nodded, knowing
Iy. ITO kiss like that isn't thing that
comes all at once, either. 1t wants
practice. And your are very lucky my
dear girl, in possessing a lover who
has had such practice, and thus ac-
qufred the art of kissing really well. :
Nonsense. You are quite in err
ror," protested Hilda rather sharply.
Il am Reggie's first love. If were
not, indeed, | should have had nothing
to say to him. / am not this sort OF
girl, as you know very well, who cares
to be one of a multitude | must be
either a mans first and only love. or
nothing"
is that so? Week, confess you sur
prise me-" rejoined Amelia, raising her
eyebrows. For my part, I'd much
rather be mans last love than his
first. In fact, it's only his last love
that ever comes to anything His first
is usually dissipated on some impos-
sihle person 1t is with them that he
gets the practice and experience by
which he learns how to make love and
kiss effectively, and"
z really think you must have gone
mad. Amelia

Washington.-A message from the
president vetoing the bill permitting
pleasure yachts to carry kerosene for
their launches was read in the senate.
The president veto objections were
based upon typographical errors in
the bill and not on the subject mat
ter of the bill. AS soon os the read
ing of the message was over Senator
Frye moved the reference of the mes
sage to the committee on commerce
and Immediately after presented a

This funny old world is mirror, you know,
Turn its way with a sneer, or face of 1oe
And you will see trouble,
But meet it with laughter and looks full OF
cheer.
And back will come sunshine and love true
and dear
Your blessings to double.
Suppose you try smiling.
All places are open to those who are glad,
Too many lack courage, too many are sad,
Those near you need cheering.
So sing with your burden, the way is not
long
And if you look upward your heart VIII
grow strong,
And skies will be clearing.
Suppose you try smiling.

Your burden is heavy, I haven't a doubt,
But others have loads they must carry
about,
And they are not whining.
Some people are glad il but half of the way
Lies cut Of the shadow, or part Of the day
They see the sun shining
Suppose you try smiling.
I know you are lonely, but other hearts
ache,
And bravely refuse to be bitter or break
Because of lifes sorrow.
They think of the joy in the land far away,
And hasten the slow passing hours of today
With hopes of tomorrow.
Suppose you try smiling.
