Now. Bobby has an overwhelming
respect for his fathers prowess. which
was not even overshadowed by the re.
markable achievement OF Moses. He
was thoroughly imbued with the idea
that there wasn't thing In the world
his father couldn't do II that thing

SENSATIONS OF A FALL.

Two men fell from the fifteenth
floor of KANSAS City building.
They were l.. +. Trout and Charles
Pepperdine. Trout who was not
seriously injured tells this dramatic
story Of his experiences: "When

which descended at either end to
seize one. ! resigned myself to fate.
1t took about two and one-half sec
0nds to descend eighty-four feet, or
half way down. In those two sec
onds thought Of enough things to
make volume. My first thought
was this: VIII my wife forgive me
for working In a dangerous place

/ wondered why did not strike the

pense. knew that my companion
was ahead Of me In the descent
through space, and wondered what
luck he was having. Every unkind
word had ever uttered to my wife
in little quarrels stood before me as
il painted in flaring lines on bill
board. They cut me to the quick
and thought how differently should
have acted If had known what a
terrible death and abrupt parting
was coming. wished that instead
Of an instantaneous death ] might
have moment to comfort her, but
] knew there was no hope for that.
And through all my thoughts there
ran as sort of undertOnc, feeling
Of wonder why hung suspended In

A man had sat for some time in a

WANTED ONLY MONEYS WORTH.
Example Of the Workings Of the -Ncw
England Conscience"

A woman who has spent many sum.
mers at Haines' Falls In the CatskiIls
tells the following story:
a mountain wagon full OF summer
excuIaiOnisia stopped at the hotel on
morning. They wanted TO see the falls
turned on In order 10 assure q good
flow Of water there Is a sort OF lock
built above the falls. The lock Is al.
ways kept closed except when some
body makes application to see the
falls; then, on payment of a quarter,
the gates are thrown open and a fine
flow Of water pours forth. The old man
who had charge Of the falls went out
and opened the gates; the visitors
were delighted, paid their quarter and
drove away About half an hour later
another wagonload drove up to the
hotel and asked TO see the falls. Again
the old man went out and opened the
gates; but owing 10 the previous drain
on the water supply the result was far
from satisfactory. and the spectators
were not enthusiastic. The old man
noticed the dissatisfaction OF the visit
ors, and was, perhaps. somewhat con.
science stricken. for. when he was of.
fered a quarter TO pay for opening the
gates, he hesitated a moment. then
said:
No. 1t want worth that much. I
think there was Just bout II cents
worth that time"
