NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
A Tree Saves Man In Fall From

New York.-Archibald Griffin, had
q narrow escape from death at bal
loon ascension from Olympic Park,
Newton. The branches of huge oak
tree alone saved him when his para
chute broke. The ballon rose nicely
to height of about 1000 feet, when
Griffin cut away for the advertised
the usual straightaway drop until the
parachute caught in the air. Griffin q
descent had hardy been stopped in
this way when one of the cords of
the parachute slipped. The broken
parachute served somewhat to light
EN- his fall, but it was the big oak
that really saved his life. Ladders
were procured and Griffin, who was
suffering from many cuts and bruises
was lifted down and removed to

are nice, comfortable articles to look at as they go along our streets, but the know-it-alls that are allowed to run them are not so nice to look at, and goodness knows there are more than two of them that should be doing time behind the bars. But it's very seldom they are punished, and we cannot account for this state of affairs unless it's either the owner of the machine or chauffeur has a pull" We'll, it's time our citizens had some protection; we think our citizens should be allowed to take the law in their own hands and pun ish the offenders right on the spot. The writer of this ad horse-whipped a chauffeur going to the Wolcott fair one year ago last fall, and we don't know whether he died or not; he's never shown himself since. How ever, we give him credit because he took his medicine and 'skiddoed. Say, we often think the cause of fast driving can be laid to the drinks of 8 chauffeur. Oh, dear, if they wou Id drink good tea, coffee, cocoa or but termilk (we mean the quality we sell), how much more level their heads would be. In fact, our drinks are good and healthy for everyone.
