Ballooninq Good For InvaIIds,

1t has been prophesied that society
will take to ballooning for rest and to
get its nerves soothed so they may un-
dergo further tension in the social
whtrl, says the New York Press. Ger
tain European medical men think air
sailing efilcacious In even worse mala-
dies. They advocate the balloon
cure" for tuberculosis. The contention
is that SO wide range of attitudes Is
obtainable by means of balloon that
the treatment Is better than a sojourn
In an Alpine village. Where even by
climbing the patient cannot vary his
altitude by more than a few hundred
feet, going up In balloon an invalid
may be conveyed in few minutes to
an atmosphere in which there are no
mineral particles or bacteria.

DR.. SENN'S ODD ADVENTURE.
How Noted Chicago Surgeons Process
of Identification Proved a Success.

How Noted Chicago Surgeons Process
of Identification Proved Success.
DR.. Nicholas Sem of Chicago. one of
the most widely known surgeons in the
United States, who died at Chicago the
other day, Travelled In Wyoming several
years ago, and in the small town of
Sundance an odd adventure befell him,
says the Chicago Record Herald. He
had letter of introduction to n ranch
er called Walton, and, stopping the
first man whom he met in Sundance
he said:
81 am looking for a chap named
Walton. Do you know him?"
WELL" said the stranger there's a
good many Waltons hereabouts. Which
Walton might you be lookin for?"
"John Walton" said DR.. Sem.
"There's four John Waltons in Crook
county" said the native.
This one keeps very fine stock"
"All the Waltons keep mighty fine
stock"
"This Walton" DR.. Sem pursued,
SIS rather tight-you know what
mean-rather close hSted.'
"Close fistedness, sir, runs in the
Walton blood"
well, l am informed" said DR..
Sem, that this particular Walton-I
don't suppose the story is true, but
they say that this particular Walton
once stole a lot of chickens from his
sister"
The other smiled family. Il reckon
I'm the man you want" he said.
Price of Peace.
A story is told of Verdi, the famous
composer, which shows that he was
willing to pay a good price for what
he considered comfort. A friend who
went to call upon him in small wa
tering place found the composer in a
little room which he informed his WIS.,
ftor served him for dining room, sit
ting room and bedroom.
II have two other rooms which are
large" he said to his friend, 'but 1
keep articles hired by me in them. 1
have there ninety-fve barrel organs"
He paused to note his friends sur
prise and then continued:
when / came here my ears were
tortured by hearing them play Trova-
tore 'Rigoletto' and similar stuff. 1
hired them from their owners. 1 pay
about 1900 lire for them and enjoy
my summers rest undisturbed by the
sound of my own compositions"
Women and Their Fears.
Not half the horrors that women sup
pose are going to happen to them ever
do happen. Yet 1t is in the nature of
the gentle sex to expect and look out
for them, to anticipate what fate may
never send. In the form that women
nurture 1t, too, it is 80 nebulous, so
vague. so terrifying, because 80 scanti-
ly defined, as to be absolutely possess

MILLIONAIRES IN CELLS.
Visitors at Pittsburg Prison Mistaken
For Criminals and Locked Up.


For Criminals and Locked Up.
Benjamin Braznell, young million
aire coal operator of Pittsburg, was
entertaining ]. W. McGarvin, a
wealthy friend from Altoona, Pa, the
other afternoon and took him around
to detective headquarters to introduce
him to Captain McGough, says a
Pittsburg special to the New York
World. Both men expressed a willing
ness to see the city prison In Pitts
burg, and McGough gave them a pass
and turned them over to Sergeant
Adolph Metz. Sergeant Metz was
busy and turned them over to Detec-
tive Morgan, forgetting to tell him that
they were visitors.
Morgan took the two men back into
the cell room, and before they knew
what was happening he was relieving
them of their valuables and other pos
sessions. They protested, but it did no
good, for Morgan was former pugilist
and wouldn't take any back talk. He
almost dropped dead, though, when he
fished a $1,000 bill out of Mr.. Braz-
nell's pocket and as much more out of
Mr. McGarvin's clothes. When he had
relieved them of everything he locked
them in separate cells and took a hat
full of money, diamonds and other val
uables into Captain McGough's private
office.
While all this was going on Mr..
McGough had been summoned to an
other part of the building, and it was
nearly an hour before he returned.
"Them's big guns we've got, cap
tain" he announced. Il got about a
ton of junk from each of EN-"
McGough almost had spasm when
he discovered that his millionaire
friends were in cells. He is still try
ing to explain to them that it wasn't
a joke, but they refuse to believe him.

Telephone Ruoys For Submarines.

Detachable telephone buoys are to
be used to prevent any recurrence of
submarine disasters, which have cost
number of men in the French navy
their lives, says a Paris special cable
dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In case a submarine vessel goes to the
bottom and is unable to rise buoy
will be loosed by the imprisoned crew
and sent to the surface to attract at
tention and summon help. Persons at
tracted to the buoy can then talk to
the men below, learn their exact pre-
dicament and the best way of over

recently ordered the equipment in

First Pocket Handkerchief.
The pocket handkerchief was not in
vogue until 1910, when a beautiful
Venetian lady appeared carrying one,
and from this time 1t came into com
mon use in Italy. The French were
quick to follow the fashion, and pocket
handkerchiefs were made of costly
materials and richly embroidered.
They were brought to England from
France, but Germany was slow to
adopt their use, and when at last the
pocket handkerchief was introduced
it represented the great wealth and
noble lineage of its possessors.-Lon-

TO work, to wait, to hope. to pray,
Is part OF life as life must be;
But who would walk the worlds lo0g

Without the pain which sets faith
free?
That soul is bound by tyrant thongs
Which seeks the freedom sin be-
slows;
He suffers most to whom belongs
The JOY alone which evil knows.
Then, soul Of mine. be not dismayed
That virtue burns the flesh a while;
Bat keep thy faith, and. unafraid,
Endure the heat another mile.
