Drove Into Quicksand.

Five persons, two of them women,
nearly lost their lives at Atlantic City
in a binding rainstorm. They were
in a carriage, the driver of which lost
his way on the meadows and drove
into some q~uicksand. Passengers,
driver, carriage and horse all sank.
A. E.. Maltby, a Philadelphia automo-
bile man; Mrs. Maltby, his wife; Miss
Adele Anderson and Walter Rhodes
were the passengers. All Of them
jumped out, but they continued to
sink until the driver managed to get
free and shouted for assistance.
Boards were brought and the two
women were dragged from their per-
ilous position and landed safely on
hard ground. Mr.. Maltby and Mr..
Rhodes had managed to keep their
heads above the sand, but it was with
difficulty they were extricated. By
this time the horse and wagon had
sunk nearly out of sight. A bulk
head was built about the horse, and
with the aid of ropes the animal was
pulled out, nearly dead. But the res
cuers were unable 10 pull out the
wagon because of it's great weight.

jump from a balloon. Wood ascend
ed in a hot air balloon from the re-
sort at about 5 O'Clock p. m. to a
height of 1000 feet. Drifting in a
~northeasterly direction, as he sat on a
trapeze hung beneath two parachutes
under the globe, for a mile and a
quarter, ne released the paraohutes.
As he descended he was seen to wave
a large American flag, which by a
puff of wind which sent the para
chutes out over the Passaic River, be-
came entangled about his body. Be-
fore he could extricate himself he was
in the water. He struggled franti-
eally to get rid of the flag and shouted
for help to the several hundred per-
sons on the river bank a few rods
away. No one tried to save him and
the youth sank beneath the surface.
Wood was unmarried and lived with
his parents at No. SIT Chapel street,
New Haven, Conn.

Every Man by Himself.

God beholds thee individually, who
eve thou art. "He calls thee by thy
name," He sees thee and understands
thee. He knows what is in thee, all
thy own peculiar feelings and
thoughts, thy dispositions and likings,
thy strength and thy weakness. He
views thee in thy day of rejoicing and
thy day of sorrow. He sympathizes
in thy hopes and in thy temptations;
He interests Himself in all thy anx-
ieties and thy remembrances, in all
the risings and fallings of thy spirit.
He compasses thee round, and bears
thee in His arms; He takes thee I'D
and sets thee down.
Thou dost not love thyself better
than He loves thee. Thou canst not
shrink from pain more than He dis
likes thy bearing it; and if He puts it
on thee, it is as thou wilt put it on
myself, if thou art wise, for a greater
good afterwards.-J. H. Newman.

Cavalier TO the Rescue.

Francis Daley. William Edwards
and James Forrest, boys of twelve,
were standing on what is known as
Change Bridge" over the Morris
Canal, at C~entreville, when a boat
passed slowly under. The boys ran
from one. side to the other of the
bridge to see the nose of the boat ap-
pear beneath them. They came with
such force against the hand rail Of
the bridge that it gave way. Daley
and Edwards fell into the water and
Forrest Struck the deck of the boat,
breaking his shoulder. George Rob-
bins; who was driving the mules Of
the canalboat, halted them and
jumped into the water, caught Daley
and brought him out on the towpatb.
Robbins then returned to the water
forE Edwards, but the boy was out of
sight. Robbins dived several times,
but did not find Edwards. Daley is a
good swimmer, but was dazed by the
fall into the water. He recovered his
nerve and dived, found Edwards and
brought him to the surface. Rob-
bins took hold of the boy and brought
him to the canal bank and resusci-
tated him. Meanwhile Robbins

had worked some, time over Forrest
before reviving him.

Whole Family browns.

Boating in a frail batteau that
would have been taxed to its limit in
carrying two persons, William Edel-
man, t~hirty-eight years old, and his
family-his wife, Elizabeth; a step
daughter, Anna, and an e~ight-year-
old son, Northumberland in little
Pensauken Creek, near the hamlet of
Cinnaminson, where the rickety skiff
hit a barge that was tied to the shore.
Near by stood John Coy, of middle
age, who saw the four persons strug-
Cling in the swift current, and who
believed them to be enjoying a swim.
Not until they sank did he realize that
they were in danger. Mrs. Paul Bell
ange, who stood on a bridge that
spans the creek at the point, shouted
wildly to Cox, who answered: Stop
yelling. Those people are SWIM
ming, they're not drowning" FL
nalIy it dawned upon Cox that the
woman ON the bridge was right and
he made a frantic attempt to find the
bodies.

Jesus the Door.

Jesus calls Himself "the door,
through which the human race can
again come near to God. He makes
Himself a door, an open way to His
Father and u Father, a door open
ing into the deepest depths of the di-
vine love. How are we to have
faith in Christ as the door? Not by
bowling down and worshiping the
door, but by rising up and going
through it. How are we to have faith
in Him as the true vine but by gath
ering and taking away the fruit He
bears? How do we show our faith
in Him as the living bread? Surely
by feeding our souls with it, day by
day. And how do we most sincerely
show our belief in Him as the Good
Shepherd unless it be by joining His
flock and following Him?-James
Freeman Clarke.

Washington, D. C.-The first ses-
sion of the Sixtieth Congress adj
journed sine die at 11.50 o'clock p.
m. amid roaring song in the House
and with it's customary solemnity in
the Senate. AS usual the House gal
leries were crowded, many with "Mer-
ry Widow" hats apparently.
President Roosevelt arrived at the
Capitol at 9.05 O'Clock to sign bills.
He came in an open carriage and was
in evening dress, with a white rose in
his lapel. He was conducted to his
room by Secretary Loeb, Sergeant-at-
Arms Ransdell and two Secret Serv-
ice men. Secretaries Root, Cortel-
you and Garfield and First Assistant
Postmaster-Genera Grandfield await
ed him to advise on bills passed.
One of the first measures signed
was the Currency bill. This was done
minute earnest talk with Senator AL
drich.
The committees of House and Sen
ate called at 10 O'Clock to inform the
President that by joint resolution the
Congress would adjourn at 11.50 p.
M. and to ask if he had any further
business to lay before the body. Mr..
Roosevelt said no.
The Government Liability bill was
signed by the President and Vice
President before it was finally ap-
proved by the Senate in order to ex-
pedite business. The last bill signed
was the Omnibus Territorial measure
at II p. m. The President started for
the White House at HOB. He pock-
eted a bill to compensate inventors
for inventions used by the Govern
ment. That meant that it was We
toed.
The President, in conversing with
several members, told them that he
was very will satisfied with the ac-
complishments of the Congressional
session.
The great filibuster against the
adoption of the Aldrich-Vreeland cur
rency makeshift came to an end just
before 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The conference report was adopted,
43 to %. Five Republicans, Borah,
Bourne, Brown, Hepburn and La Fol-
lette, voted with seventeen Democrats
to make the %. No Democrat went
On record for the bill.
There was a dramatic finish to the
theatrical filibuster. Senator Stone
left the chamber while the blind SEN
ator Gore was speaking. He had not
returned when Gore finished, although
he had expected to be back to take up
the time-kiling. Senator La Toilette,
who had been told that he might take
eight hours rest and that the floor
would be kept, had not returned.
AS Gore finished he turned his
| sightless eyes toward Stones seat, ex-
pecting to hear him claim recognition.
Instead, V~iee-President Fairbanks or
dered a vote. Before any Senator
could do anything the roll was being
called.

To Live We Must Grow.

Are there not some of us who have
been trying a good while to get back
an old experience? If we succe -ded
we should only be where we were,
and if we are only going to get
where we were we have abandoned
the law of progress and begun the
downward retrogression.
God has Himself withered, by His
own consuming breath, the flower and
fragrance of your former joys, that
He may lead you into something bet
ter. Let your old experience go and
take the living, everlasting Christ in
stead. 3

Hen Hatches Brood of Snakes.

Peter Wise, living near Omega,
Ind, had the surprise of his life when
he pulled a setting hen off the nest
that she had made in the edge of a
strawstack. He had noticed the fowl
sitting there for some time and be-
gan to suspect that she was sitting on
a door knob. When he lifted her in
stead of a brood of chickens he found
a bunch of snakes, eleven little black
fellows, each about seven inches long,
and all wTiggling %furiously. Wise
promptly despatched the snakes and
wrung the hens neck. Wise said he
had no use for a hen that could not
tell a snakes egg from her own.
