A Wonderful Spring

conference of the body, but how deep
one is afraid to think
But the doctor calls there is no dan
ger and he takes his life in his hands
and plunges in. Down he goes up to
his neck and, fearing quicksand, he
calls out to the DOCTOR but he, smiling
imperturbably, bids him keep quiet
and wait results.
Presently he feels a soft impact up
on the soles of his feet, and slowly but
irresistibly he feels himself being
forced to the surface. Within the space
of three minutes he is again standing
in Is inches of water. and the hole
has disappeared, only to appear a few
feet further on. He hastens to it,
plunges in, and again he sinks to his
neck as before. Only one hole is
formed at a time, and between the
closing of one and the appearing of
another there is an interval of about
five minutes.
In this wonderful bath one does not
require any brush or soap, but when
he zones out his skin is smooth and
spotless, here and there appearing
upon his body minute scales of silica.
After dashing a bucket of cold water
over himself he feels wonderfully in
vigorated and refreshed. People come
hundreds of miles TO battle in this
healing water, and if the doctor could
only move this spring to Los Angeles
he could make his fortune in few
years. The Indians (the Mission tribe)
attach great value to the water and
use the overflow of the pool for bath.

COULD BARK LIKE A DOG.
Poet Rostand, Dupe for Time, Be.
comes Shrewd Detective.

Paris.-M. Edmond Rostand, the
poet and dramatist, took a villa near
Bayonne recently and was kept awake
every night by dog which bayed the
moon and reused all the other dogs
within earshot. A man named Fail
letout. said he could stop the barking,
and actually succeeded In doing so.
A week later, however, the barking
started again, and NJ. Rostand recog.
nized the dismal tones of the leader
of the chorus. He summoned Fail.
lietout and questioned him as to his
alleged power over the animals. Fail.
letout was fattered. and discoursed at
large.
And can you bark like a dog?'
asked NJ, Rostand, in innocent admira.
tion. Failletout demonstrated. "Ah
/ recognize that bark" said M. RIOS
tand, don't let me hear II again al
night" Failletout departed crestfal
len, and no dog has barked beneath M

HAuLs MASTER TO SCHOOL.
Faithful Dog is Devoted to Crippled
Boy.

Marion, O.-Remarkable devotion Is
shown his young master by large st.
Bernard dog, which, after having
watched at the sick bed of 14-year.old
Emmett Shoats for months, now hauls
him to and from the district school
house. half mile away. Young
Shoats Is a cripple and unable to
walk. Any morning about eight o'clock
the big dog can be seen vending his
way down the pike drawing his little
master behind in small wagon. The
faithful dog hangs" around the school
house until evening and is always
there at the dismissal of school.
The dog and the boy have been
plaYmates since childhood. Until two
years ago they romped together
through the woods and pastures. One
day in their play young Shoats hurt
his leg Since then he has been prac-
tically an invalid. During the time
that the boy was in a local hospital
the dog seemed broken-hearted and
would scarcely eat. He fell away un.
til he was, figuratively speaking, moth
ing but skin and bones. Now he is
full of health and vigor. The old st.
Bernard cannot be bought at any
price.

ONE ON THE PRESIDENT.
w. F. Cody Tells Story of Roose
velt's Quest of Bear Dogs.

Denver, Buffalo BilP' Cody,
while a guest here, told this joke on
President Roosevelt:
When the president was in Colorado
hunting, the expedition was hard up
for bear dogs. On the third or fourth
day out Chief Guide Golf said: "Mr.
President, know a man who has good
bear dogs. I will see If l can get
them"
'All right" said the president, do
It," But the man turned down the
guide.
Il will go over and see him myself, "
said the president, and he did.
Nothing doing" said the owner OF
the dogs.
do you know who ! amp" demand
ed the president. II am the president
of the United States"
Well" replied the dog owner, 81
don't care - if you are, and
wouldn't care - IL you were
Booker T. Washington, you couldn't
have my dogs"
And the president, concluding that
the dog owner knew his own business
best, went back to camp and told the
story with much glee.

The Next Instant the Train Hit Him.

had died and six months ago, to give
his wife and the remaining children
the home he wished, he took the haz-
ardous position of lamp man In the
New York Central tunnel. He was a
sober, Industrious man, six feet in his
stockings and perfectly healthy. His
day began at p, m. and ended at a.
m, and 1t was his duty to patrol the
tunnel and keep the lamps burning on
the signal towers.
Two weeks ago his wife was taken
III with typhoid fever, and grew rap
idly worse. He told his fellow-work-
ers he feared his wife would die be-
fore morning Nevertheless, he set
about his task Of seeing that the lamps
we're all right so that the passengers
hurrying home would pass In safety.
At 8 p. m. he saw that the distance
signal lamp on the outbound track
three was smoky. He remembered that
several accidents costing human lives
had happened because of smoky
lamps.
He ran across the tracks, lodging
down train and reached up for the
signal lamp. With his pocket handker
chief he rubbed the chimney bright
and turned down the wick a little. AS
he did this the lamp swung around In
answer to the signal tower man, eau
tioning the up train to go slow, A
down train came tearing through the
tunnel, making a great noise and
drowning the noise OF the approach
OF train in the opposite direction.
Then he stepped down on the track,
conscious that he had probably saved
an accident-and the next instant the
train hit him.
1.-THE engineer, with his eyes on the
signal--as was his duty-did not see
the shadow that flickered for an In
slant under the forward wheels. But
the track-walkers, passing few mo-
ments after, found the crumpled mass
under the light of their lanterns.
| they found the handkerchief with the
lamphlack on 1t, and saw the finger

case was reported to the police and
entered on the station house blotter.

CHANGES IN LATIN QUARTER.
Old Structures Being Removed to En-.
large the Lycee Saint Louis.

Paris.-Rapid progress is being
made in the enlargement of space oc-
cupied by the Lycee Saint Louis, one
of the largest schools for boys in
France.
AS preliminary to the enlargement
old water tanks which some years ago
caused epidemics of typhoid and had
to be abandoned are being torn down.
These tanks faced the Rue Racine,
which is one side of a large triangle
which the Lycee eventually will &C.

Boulevard ST. Michel, on which Is the
present building and the Rue Mon

The plan is to pull down all the
buildings on this triangle In order that
the whole space may be devoted to
the institutions interesting changes.
A feature of this change is the nee
essary demolition of an old wall back
of Rue Monsieur lie Prince. This wall
is on the site of the most southerly
fertilization of the wall of Paris in
the time OF PHILIPPE Auguste, who
reigned from 1880 to 1925, and is built
of the same stones.
Although the undermining of this
part of the historic Latin quarter is
said to be definitely decided upon,
plans have not reached point where
the occupants of the buildings receive
a notice.
