BALLOON ADVENTURES,

Thirty years with the balloons
Col. Templer's record-have not
passed without excitement. On one
occasion, when the balloon was ready
to ascend, q gust of wind caught her,
and pitched her against a gasometer.
Col. Templer was knocked uncon-
scious to the bottom of the car, his
companion thrown out, and the bal
loon assembled with car ropes broken
on one side. Providentially the col.
onel was caught under the seat, or
he must have followed the other off,
Ger. The bleeding at his mouth
caused by the blow of impact with
the gasometer revived consciousness.
and he awoke to find himself in an
unbalanced car thousands of feet
from earth. Binding up his wound
as best he might, he managed to re-
attach the broken ropes and de-
scended safely to the ground.
The excitement over the appear
ance of balloon was at one time so
great that 1t rendered the aeronaut's
task doubly difficult. He was be.
tween the devil and the deep sea.
The balloon becoming heavy. he
deemed it necessary to descend. but
feared that the excitement of the
crowd would tear tho balloon to
pieces. The problem presenting It.
self to Col. Templer, he descended
quickly in a station yard, landed his
companion, and continued his voy-
age alone with lightened car. The
astonishment of a carter who was
entering the yard at the time was
something to remember
Col. Templer's ingenuity has not
been solely expended on balloons.
The water main coupling acquired
by the army is his invention. An
amusing incident in connection with
1t occurred at the maneuvers. The
colonel, leaving sergeant in charge.
had gone back to Aldershot. He was
recalled by q telegram: "Water
blocked, cannot do anything" Has
tening to the spot, the colonel bade
them pump till the water came.
There must be an obstruction some
where" he declared; pump 1t out"
So 1t was done, and there appeared
a broken umbrella which had evident
ly been dropped at the main and fall
en- in. The rush of the water when
the pumping started forced the UNI
brella open and made an effective
barrier.-London p. T. o.

PAvHOs OF VANISHING INDIAN
Betrayed, Diseased and Glorilied in
Marble by White Man.

We are accustomed to shed few
eminently proper crocodile tears over
the fate of the Indian; but the Indian
has never pitied himself. No record
holds his plea for mercy to his race.
The Negro continually expects quar-
ter. The Indian has not asked quar-.
ter. He has taken his medicine like
a man. No concert of Powers ever
guarded his territorial rights. We
called Leopold to account in the Con-
go. We district Africa into spheres
Of influence, one jealous nation
watching another; but here in Amer
lea we have the work of eXtermina'
ton all in our own hands. The glad.
iators of Rome did not ask for mercy;
neither has that stark fighting man
who, If he has not given us holiday,
has at least given us an occasional
bad quarter Of an nour, says Emerson
Hough, in striking contribution to
Hamptons Magazine,
The fighting chance Is the only one
which the red man has valued, He
has never set up any red republic in
imitation of the white mans way OF
government. Sacred and classic liter

been scores Of warriors Of the plains.
brave as Winkelried, but hopeless,
who have gone against the machine
guns, knowing what their end must
be. Beaten at last by the upsetting
of their environment, they have gone

white race with one hand, while with
the other we spread it apparently de-
liberately among the red race. The
reservation cabin is a death trap for
the Indian The old tepees had ar
air space all around the bottom, ar
air space high as the head between
the lodge lining and the lodge skin
Good air came in from below and
went out with the smoke at the lodge

life for consumptiye patients; but
very often in this our doctors do not
know as much as the Indians, and

some of my red friends in that coun'

nails of this or that one beginning

not adjust, cannot assimilate. 1t is

not adjust; he could only fight.

morbid conditions, if not too deeply
rooted, may easily be removed by sug.

"Hysteria is a disease in which
states of mind project themselves in
to the body. One thinks he is going
blind; eventually the physical SYM
toms of blindness may appear. Such
ideas can be relieved as they pass
through the mind, because, as a rule.
the sufferer is amenable to good sug-
gestions. If auto-suggestion can
cause so much evil in hysterical per-
sons, we can see how seriously even
those who are more normal may suf.
fer.
Minds influence.
"Few realize the effect of our state
Of mind upon health, usefulness and
endurance. If board foot wide
were placed on the aisle of this
church, every person here could walk
along it, If the floor were painted.
Place the board twenty feet above the
aisle, and fear would make us dizzy,
self-conscious, and would probably
hurl us to the floor.
Depression is curious form of
nervousness. With no particular
cause, the time comes when the in
ward complexion of thoughts change,
when everything seems hard and
painful.
"This state of mind eventually will
pass away, and it is curious how sud
denly and inexplicably it goes. The
ablest physicians do not profess to
understand the mysteries of nervous
depression, but it is generally re-
garded as having an organic cause.
The world is waiting to know the ori-
gin and cure of depression. Great
physicians have said it is no use for
a man nervously depressed to consult
them; they can do nothing N the way
Of relief. But | think the cases of
such persons are not as hopeless as
that. / have been able to mitigate
their malady by suggestion
DR.. Worcester, in discussing alco.
holism, said he treated ninety cases
last year, and all but three of his pa.
tients were still standing firm. He
would not say they were cured, but he
was sure they had attained that hap.
by state wherein the cravings for
drink had passed away. In mental
treatment, he said, alcoholic craving
was quick to disappear and did not
return.

An Alpine avalanche has just

failed at the time, but with the melt

present Anne is trying to get most
of our respeckted citizens of Bing-
vile and visinity to inshure their
worthless lives and also their prop
critics against personal decease, fires
or acksidents.
II has always been more OF less
of a question IN our editorial mind
as to whether life INSURANCE or fire
insurance really pays. Take Old
Dad Henderson for instance-Dad
has carried $500 worth of life in
shurance on his life for the past 35
years and Old Dad IS alive vet.
What has Dad ever realized outen
iinshuring bis life? We answer no
thing.
Dad saws that he's carried this
insurance so long now and has
paid out so much money 10 keep II
UP that he's Altered to let go Of If
because he might lose what he's
put into it and the insurance like
wise. Dad says he's in turribIe
perdickament and wishes to good
ness he had never took any inshur-
ance on his lie being as he calcki-
lates he would of lived Just as long
and been a good eal happier
Then take a example of FIRE in
shurance. There's Jetl1ro Jennings
l-Jethro he inshured his barn for
500 10 yrs. ago and kept It up for
Z yrs. and Jeth had to rake and
sckrape and deny hisself in order
to keep it IT'D. Finally at the end
of z yrs. Jethro he let his fire in
Shurance eckspire and the very next
night he went out to the barn Just
before he went to bed to see if the
stock was all fight and was snok-
ing his old corn-cob pipe and acksi-
dentally let spark fall into the hay
and returned to the house and went
to bed only to be woke up by his
wife a hour later with his barn on
fire and half burnt down.
The Bingville fire dept. respond
ed as promptly as ushual but it
will be remembered that before they
arrove on the scene of the confla-
grashion there was nothing left OF
the barn but a huge smoldering ruin
to throw water on.
Jeth says the only thing he's got
against INSURANCE is that when Z

seems to die and when a feller'.

Sunday. In the morning, beginning
at o'clock, the Juniors Will take
the field for the first time. The open
ing game will be between the Asahi
Athletic Club and the Portuguese Atm
letic Club. This will be warm num-
her. At 1890 the Muhock and G. A..
G. Junior teams will cross bats. Both
of these mines are made up of Chi
nese.
The original idea of charging ad-
mission to these games 0f that idea
was really ever serious one)has been
abandoned and the gates will be
thrown wide open 10 the public.
At 1880 in the afternoon, however,
the big fun will commence. At that
hour the Marines will meet the c.
A. c. Seniors, and all who witnessed
the games last Sunday know what that
means. At $3.50 the crack Kalihi team
will run up against the Japanese Ath-
letic Clubs nine. This, too, should be
an exciting contest.
This week the press box is being
changed and numerous little improve
ments, suggested by the experiences oil
last Sunday, are being made. Next
Sunday everything will be in the very
best of shape.
