CURED.
One of the coolies, with the stu
pid!ty which characterizes his class,
got his legs entangled in the strings
attaching the parachute to the bal
loon just at the very moment when
the latter left the ground on its up
ward flight.
Within second the ill-starred coolie
was observed wrigglIng with his head
downwards in a tangle OF strings far
above the youthful aeronaut and quite
out OF his reach. The sensation caused
by this incident can be better imag-
ined than describeds Everyone's heart
almost ceased to beat in the intense
excitement which ensued. Captain
-'s agony was simply indescriba-
BILE Another moment and the coolie
was seen to disentangle himself and to
fail. Women svooned. and many
strong men closed their eyes expecting
the next moment to see a mangied
corpse in their midst.
But It was not 80.
The young bslloonist, with the nerve
and presence OF mind Of q veteran
managed, an incalculabis risk to him
self, to seize the coolie as he hurled
through space. and in spite of the
latter's frsnzied struggles to get free
succeeded in seating him beside him
self.
The plucky young seronaut',
troubles were, however, not at an end
When the balloon slackened speed h
detached the parachute, and with al
arm round the coolia leapt into space
Unfortunately, they both fell into th'
middle OF a river. but eventual,

block of stores and the warehouses
back of them. Mr.. J. A. Staten was
in his buggy just back of one of the

Camp HiaWdtha.

The jolly campers from Camr
Hlawatha returned to town Frida,
! after spending four days and nights
Of pleasure at the new summer re.
sort. The following appeared in the
News and Observer of August 4th,
written by some one of the camping
party:
Scotland Neck, N. c., Aug. s.
One Of the most unique and novel
experiences Of the summer was en-
ioyed by a happy band OF young peo-
pie from July 81 to the 81. Despite
the fact the elements We're constant
" waging war, despite the rain and
wind, which combined forces against
the good time OF the jolly campers.
the tents held their ground against
it all, and every minute of the time.
Doth day and night, whether spent
in eating, sleeping, walking or drink
ing, was tull Of the keenest enjoy
ment
The scene was laid around the IA
nous Fleming Springs about ten
miles from Scot!o'1d Neck, whose wa
ters act as a charm in making one
glad to live in the worst kind of
weather.
The sun bath the campers took
going down will be remembered ur-
til-all the blisters and burns caused
thereby will have disappeared. Al
though there was no surf bathing
possible-the rain made surface
bathing not only possible, but un-
avo:dable.
1.-THE simple life,' was the motto
Of each camper-e each one doing what
he pleased, when he pleased and how
he pleased. Indeed all conventional
jty and etiquette were so utterly
disregarded that whenever they felt
SO inclined the boys donned bathing
suits or went barefooted.
The three fair days were most en-
joyab'y spent in playing tennis and
croquet, walking to the springs, and
riding. While at other times read
ing alood-or talking by some few
couples-was the order Of the day. |
But the most popular place of amuse-
nent, whether fair OF cloudy, was
the commissary tent, which was full
to overlooking with the things that |
bring gladness and good cheer to-
every hungry person.
The grand finale when the skies
opened, and it seemed that the gate
ways of the heavens themselves we're
flooded. Then we were made to real
lZe that it had not rained before, but |
only played at it. With the rain
pouring and the winds blowing, the |
tents were taken down, the wagons
packed and the campers stored away
in closed carriages all regretting
that the time had come to separate.
Mrs. w. H. White was the chap
aron for the occasion. Her affable
manner and the spirit with which
she entered into the fun, established
for her a reputation that will make
1er services hereafter much in de-
nand.
