A High Dive to the Solid eround.

Will Fesperman, who has made
a habit of standing on his head
on the top of a thirty-foot pole
for a number of years, came very
near disseminating the practice
here July 4th. He was to give his
usual exhibition at the park and
had climbed the pole for so doing,
but, owing to being little timber
jointed and sleepy, he failed to
hold with a grip sufficient to as
sure his remaining at the top of
the pole and. completing his per-
Torrance. His decent was very
sudden and had it not been for
the solid ground below he might
have been falling yet. His sud-
den stop Jared him some and the
life fluid that came out of his
mouth caused some of the many
spectators to imagine that he was
injured. But not SO. Bill will
not allow a little thing like that
to stop his sport. He was picked
up, taken to the hospital, soon re-
vlved, and returned to his home,
Friday morning, little the worse
because of his experience.

SHE PAID HER FARE.
Moral: Never Go on the Car with Your
Money Hidden.

The pretty woman got in, walked
the length of the car and took seat
by the plain woman. The car started,
and the conductor, his lips puckered
in an inaudible whistle, started slowly
down the middle of the car in the trail
of the pretty woman.
MY goodness!" whispered the pref
ty woman to the woman who was an
utter stranger to her then, every cent
of money I've got with me is in my
stocking.!''
A whisper carries long way some
times.
Two young men right across the car
perked up their ears. So also did an
old man whose head would have been
bald if he had taken his hat of, be-
cause there was little white rim all
round just under his hat. A man who
was sitting with woman who APP
peared to be his wife tried not to
listen, while a few half-grown boys
about frying size giggled outright.
What in the world am I going to
do?" whispered the pretty woman in
a tone that would have been audible
on the. corner if the car had stopped.
Now the plain woman might have
said to her: why, here is my purse.
Help yourself to Nickel but she
didn't. Instead she said:
Don't you suppose you can get it"
At that the two young men right
across from them opened their eyes
wide and the small boys giggled some
more.
How can I, right here in front of
everybody" asked the pretty woman.
You can't-er, very wen,'' said the
plain woman.
Then with a firm, transfixing and
hypnotic eye on the young men directly
in front of them and eventually taking
in the small giggling ones, the plain
woman said: I'll stand up in front of
you and surround you the best way i
can while you take it OUT
And that was what the plain woman
did.
The pretty woman was a long time
getting the money, so long that the
two young men got fdgety, the bald
headed mans bald head blushed and
the man with his wife had to look
sadly the other way out of another
window because his wife made him.
At last, however, the wad was drawn
forth, and the pretty woman, very red
in the face, paid her fare. Then all
the men sighed.
