TWO OFFICERS IN DIRE PERIL
Balloon Runs Away with Them and
Death Stares at Them in All
Sorts of Ways.

SORTS OF ways
Niagara Falls, June 24.-Detective
Callinan and Patrolman Roeder faced
death for twenty minutes 400 feet up
in the air in the basket of a captive
balloon. The mechanism which brings
the balloon to earth went wrong and
the gas bag shot skyward. Roeder,
crazed with fear, wanted to jump, but
Callinan drew his revolver and threat
ened to shoot him if he attempted to
go over the side Of the basket
A sudden gust of wind carried the
balloon out over the rapids of the
Niagara river just above the falls and
the anchor went tearing through chin
neys and roofs. AS the last effort was
being made to bring the wild bag to
earth the basket ran against the high
power cables which carry electricity
from the power house across the gorge
and the men dropped into the basket
just in time to avoid death by cleo
tricity. They were finally brought safe
~ to earth.

A Mans Career,

A man ought TO look upon his career
as a great artist looks upon his mas
terpiece, as an out-picturing Of his
best self, upon which he looks with
infinite pride and Il satisfaction which
nothing else can give. Yet many peo-
pie are so loosely connected with their
vocation that they are easily separated
from it.-Suceess Magazine.
