that came along was No. IS. She let
it go by, and waited eight minutes for

remarked to a friend that she had
been in excellent health this summer.

Out Of the Air

Recently a parachutist gave several
exhibitions of his daring and skill at
Glasgow. One afternoon strong wind
carried his balloon rapidly away, and
1t was some time before he could make
a descent. He touched mother earth
at a moorland spot near a farm house,
and an old man stood close by staring
in blank amazement. He had seen
the gaudily-dressed being drop down
from the clouds.
What place is this?" asked the
parachutist in an authoritative tone.
The old man reverently knelt down
and clasped his hands together. and
his voice trembled with fervent emo.

Good Lord, this is the parish O.

The erie aarns Canal.

While the Erie barge csnal will cost
SOL 100000, about one-thicd of the es-
timated cost Of the Panama canal, the
magnitude Of the work exceeds that at
Panama The present E,ie canal is
about 345 miles long, AM of this dis
lance the barge canal follows the old
route for only "a per cent, or "a miles.
For the other $50 odd mics the canal
is laid out on what is practically an
other other route, following the rivers
and lakes, an old route OF travel by
water, which was used by the pioneers
who settled the western part of the

What Killed the Adlutant.

A good story from the regimental
Journal Of the Fighting Fifth" con-
Germs Col, then Capt. F'itzRoy and
dates back to 1850. FitzRoy was pos
sessed of an air-gun. and one after
noon he took shot at an adjutant,
bird which. being an excellent scav-
enger, is protected from injury by a
fine of 100 rupees. Several people
saw the bird fall, but heard no report.
There was, of course, a hubbub and a
court of inquiry was ordered to inves-
ugase the birds death.
As luck would have it. FitzRoy was
appointed president OF the court, the
finding of which was duly recorded as
follows: The court, having carefully
investigated all the evidence brought
before it, have come to the conclusion
that the bird died of sunstroke.-

Who knows what is chance? A golf
er told me lately that he was PLAYING
in Spain with a young Catholic stu.
dent of divinity, who hit his ball into
a forest of thistles. He sought for it
sorrowfully, for golf balls are ex-
pensive in Spain. At last the player
bethought him of St. Anthony of
Padua, that great finder of things lost.
On his watch chain the young man
wore a bronze cross dedicated to st.
Anthony or mixed up with him some
how. Detaching the cross he threw it
high into the jungle of thistles; while
my friend marked where it fell, went
up to it, and found the lost ball lying
within few inches of the bronze
cross.

Cheap Advertising.
Charles Dickens conducted a little
weekly magazine entitled Household
Words over half century ago. The
subscription price was three dollars a
year, but Charles would club it with
any other magazine in the world for
$3.50. He charged $50 a year for a
whole page Of advertising, the page
being 5xS inches, or a little smaller
than the Independent. Household

Beebe, both in buggies started in a race from the postoffice going east on Main street Each mans horse was going at a lively gait. but the climax came when Beebe attempted to make the turn going north on Gen. ter street. His buggy capsized, throw ing him with great force about ten feet. The animal lost his footing and fell, but succeeded in freeing himself from the harness and vehicle and ran on down the street.
 The commotion quickly Crew a large crowd of the spectators and Mir. Beebe was taken from the ruins He lay in supplied condition for several mo- ments. but soon revived. His face was badly lacerated and skinned and his right shoulder, on which his weight fell, was jammed and bruised.

LEAVING FOR HOME.

That the stories of western lnhospl- faIity to sick strangers cannot all be true is the testimony of the family of Mr. Fred C. Jones who will leave tonight with his remains for their home in Peoria, Ills. They express themselves as most appreeiative of the many attentions received from our peo- pie whom they have come to regard as dear and true friends. It is but fair to them to say that this case is an illus tr;ition of the truth of the proverb: "A man that hath friends must show himself friendly It is safe to say that any one who comes into western town in that genuine spirit Of friendli- ness which the Jones family have shown here, will find hearts and homes wide open to receive them.
 The entire community regrets the sad departure of this family and the good wishes of all follow them to their east ern home.

For the past week the Tempe canal has been running bank full and for two days past it has been doing a lit tie better than that. Part of yesterday the canal was carrying between 1S.O00 and 20.O00 inches of water but during the day little of this was turned out as q protection to the country. There was more than the canal would carry without doing damage to the roads. As it is about the only dry roads under the canal are those which are above the water level Everybody is irrigat- ing and making the most of an abun- dance of water.

THE EXCURSION TONIGHT.

A large number of Knights of Py- thias and their ladies are making plans to attend the meeting in Phoenix to- night, on account of which a special train is to run from the south side. As the expense of this train is carried by the Mesa and Tempe lodges. it is urged that as many knights as possible to eX- pect to attend the meeting. take ad- vantage of this train. It is obvious that if they go over on the afternoon train and return on the excursion train the expense of the train will not be lessened any, neither will they have the advantage of the excursion rate.
