theatrical MAN HAS
A marrow ESCAPE

Fargo, N. D., June 15.-George H.
Webster, the theatrical man, and his
fireman, Francis Thayer, were sew
erely burned and had a narrow es-
cape from a horrible death last night
when the big new balloon which was
being inflated caught fire and in an
instant was reduced to smoke and
ashes.
A day or two ago Mr.. Webster re.
ceived a new ninety-f0ot balloon for
ascensions during the fair and carni.
val season, and last night at O'Clock
he took the balloon and inflater out
to First avenue north and Thirteenth
street for try-out.
The balloon is inflated from gaso
line, which is poured into a patent
inflator. The fireman did not take
the precaution of testing the inflat
ing apparatus before placing the big
bag over the gas. In some manner
probably in the shipping, the inf1atol
worked loose and when the balloon
was placed in position flames burst
out on all sides of the inf1ator, set
ting the cloth afire, and almost be-
fore it was realized that 1t was on
fire the big balloon went up in smoke
The two gentlemen were working
about the balloon at the time and the
clothing of both caught fire and fol
a time their lives were in danger
People who had gathered about sue
ceeded in putting out the flames on
their clothing, but they each received
some ugly burns which will keer
them laid up for some time.
The balloon was valued at $3.50
Mr.. Walker will at once order a new
one. He has a second balloon, but
this he uses in making his own ascen
sions.

About Sneezing.

Hospital nurses when assisting at a
delicate operation have their own way
Of suppressing cough or sneeze.
The operators attention must not be
distracted for a moment. Coughs and
sneezes, too, spread germs on surfaces
carefully rendered antiseptic. So ev-
cry nurse soon learns to press her fin
ger hard on the upper lip Immediately
below the nose when she feels cough
or a sneeze coming on. A pressure In
the neighborhood Of the ear, too, or
hard pressure on the roof Of the mouth
will nip a cough in the bud. And the
will has great power to control cough
or sneeZe.
There was a French surgeon who
used to say whenever he entered the
wards of the hospital, 'The first pa
tient who coughs gets no food today"
This method was usually successful

He WON The CROWN.
The Ancient Story Of the "eioody Hand
of Ulster"

The Ancient Story Of the "eioody Hand
of Ulster"
The emblem Of the Ulster steamship
line Is a huge red hand, from the
wrist of which is flowing drops OF
blood. An official of one Of the YES
sells Of the line gave this explanation
Of the queer device:
1T was In the early days Of Ireland,
when James l. was king and when
Ireland was divided into four prov
inces. that the king Of Ulster died.
He had two sons, who were devoted
to each other and who at the time OF
their fathers death were on the Isle OF
Aaron, Scotland. In those days the
eldest son did not always succeed the
father on the throne.
''They were brave lads, these two
sons Of the old king, and upon learn
ing of the death Of their father each
planned to race across the channel and
be the first to place his hand upon the
soil Of Antrim and thus become king
of all the north.
with eight men each they started
of from Mullcantry. On nearing the
shores Of the isles the youngest prince.
whose name was Neill. seeing that his
brother was in fair way to become
king. drew his sword. placed his left
hand on the side of the boat and cut 1t
off at the wrist.
"Quickly selling the dripping hand.
he threw it on shore and thus won the
crown. Since that time. it is told, the
bloody hand Of Ulster has led to vic
tory on many a hard fought field as
emblem on the shields Of the young
king and his followers. listers name.
whether in trade or war or sport or
on steamship line, IS known by this
sign."-Philadelph North American.

Another Hone Gone.

l was teaching a class of little
girls, and one of them had the tooth
ache. Naturally for a time the con-
versatlon turned to teeth. The little
sufferer thought perhaps it was wis

would not have one till she was
grown. well, does every one have
wisdom teeth" yes: why?" Il

PROVED HIS WORDS.
Still, the Philosopher Didn't Like It
When Death Called.

Still, the Philosopher Didn't Like It
When Death Called.
A certain philosopher was in the
habit of saying whenever he heard
that an old friend had passed away:
"Ah, well, death comes to us all! 1t Is
no new thing 1t Is what we must ex-
pect. Pass me the butter, my dear.
Yes. death comes to all, and my
friends time had come"
Now. Death overheard these philo-
sophical remarks at different times,
and one day he showed himself to the
philosopher
II am DEATH" said he simply.

truisms that Death comes to all, and l

"Go away! You are dreadful"
mo more dreadful than I always
am. But why have you changed so?
You have never feared the death that
has come to your friends. l never
heard you sigh when l carried off your
old companions. You have always
said, 1T is the way Of all flesh Shall

Eyes, for 1 am not ready"
"But am. Your time has come. Do
not repine Your friends will go on
buttering their toast. They will take
it as philosophically as you have taken
every other death"
And the philosopher and Death de-
parted on a long journey together

Lovers of Sports,

The Angio-SaXons love sport No
matter in what part of the world they
are found the spirit is strong among
them. Wherever the restless Anglo
Saxon dominates the love Of sport Is
dominant The Americans are-at
least the most of them-descendants Of
this virile race, and nowhere is the
love of sport so much exhibited as in
this country. Our people are patrons
Of horse racing, of baseball, Of golf, of
football, of all out Of door sports as no
other people. The English are great
sportsmen. but not to the extent that
Americans are, for the reason that the
opportunities are greater here.-Nash-
