A pesnerat. performanne.

c. c. Richards, performer in the
Christmas carnival at Wilkesbarre,
Pa, narrowly escaped with his life
after a terrible struggle Richards
act was to hang by his teeth to a
pulley which carried him across the
susquehanna river on a wire. During
one of the performances the pulley
stuck in the middle.
The zero weather and heavy float
ing ice made It impossible for res
cuers to reach him, and his hands
froze to the wire when he finally sue
eeeded in reaching IT, Never losing
his nerve, and in sight of the horror
stricken crowd Of spectators, the reso-
lutte man worked his way along the
wire, hand over hand until he got to
a point where the ice was thick and
unbroken beneath him. Here he
dropped from sheer exhaustion. He
was badly bruised but may recover.

HIS HEART BROKEN

Dead" said the red-eyed reptile
dealer as he mournfully regarded the
lifeless body OF a hngsnake. He died
Of a broken heart. And yet there are
those who will tell you that snakes are
cold-blooded creatures, devoid OF 70
nance, incapable of any lasting love.
Died of a broken hearth" questioned
the customer with surprise. Why
that was the snake that wouldn't eat
wasn't il? l thought you said he was
starving to death?'
Il see you remember" said the, deal
er. with a sad smile. Yes, that was
Ferdinand, the snake who wouldn't
eat. And would that had never tried
to make him eat! Far better a thou.
sand times starvation than death from
an unrequited love.
Twas this way. He finally grew so
weak from lack Of nourishment that,
In order to save his life, heroic meas
ures were necessary. Food in itself
would not suffice. He needed stimu-
liant. | soaked his meat in whisky and
forced II down his throat
"oh, the curse Of strong drink Un.

head. He became drunk. He saw
snakes.
Being a snake himself, these ina
ginary reptiles did not affect Ferdie as
they would have you or me. He mere

the midst of crowd that did not par

But suddenly out OF the writhing
mass squirmed the most beautiful
young lady snake Imaginable. She was
an exquisite Alice blue with pale pink
lozenges and straight front color of
old ivory.

tongue a-quiver, he gracefully glided
toward her.
'H-h-hhhl' he Kissed fervently.
'H-h-hhh! she answered family,
her pale pink lozenges blushing a deep
crimson with maidenly embarrass-
ment. II was love at first sight.
For the next three hours Ferdie
was in snake heaven. But then the
effects of the alcohol began to wear

He thought that she was firing Of him,
and he redoubled his ardent appeals.
More and more indistinct became
his fair charmer. His grief sobered
him. Finally she faded entirely away

WHAT THE BANISTERS TELL
Wise Tenement oweIIer Knew by
Their Condition That the House
Was Unhealthy.

Many a grewsome bit of wisdom Is
CLEANED by settlement workers. The
other day a woman of philanthropiC
tendencies trudged miles looking for
rooms for an unfortunate family that
had to move. After she had made a
selection that would fit their scanty
means the mother of the family went
around to see the rooms before NOV
ing in.
oh" exclaimed that wise tenement
dweller, wed be worse of here than
where we are! This place is too un-
healthy"
How do you make that out?" asked
the settlement worker. 1T strikes me
as being better than most houses of
its class"
The woman pointed to the banisters
which ran up through FIVE flights of
stairs to the roof in a ragged. broken
line.
"Cohlns," she said grimly. That's
what that means. Collins is terrible
hard on banisters. There are too many
