MISHAP TO "JACK AND JILL"
Certain Familiar Mother Goose Rhyme
Is Revised by Copy Read In
Newspaper Office.

Good nonsense grows out of good
nonsense. A writer in the Chicago
Tribune imagines what "copy-read-
er" in a newspaper Office would do
with a certain familiar Mother Goose
rhyme. The copy-reader, who has
had reporters training, and has
learned to write everything alike. sits
down for few moments, and revises
Jack and Jill" somewhat as follows:
Jack, aged seven, son of Peter Jones,
298 Spring street, and Jill, aged six,
daughter of Mrs. Abigail Thompson,
296 Spring street, at eleven o'clock
near the junction of Blinker avenue
and Fordyce place.
For the purpose, as Jill afterward
explained, of procuring q pail of water
although the improbability Of their
finding water at the top of hill nat
urally suggests itself.
Jack, who was carrying the pail,
had started on the return trip, accom-
panied by the little girl, when he
stumbled. as is supposed. over some
obstacle in his path. and fell, his head
striking the ground with great vio-
lence. Doctor Slack, who was at once
summoned, pronounced the lads in.
jury to be a fracture of the anterior
portion of the Uranium, and ordered
his immediate removal to Blessington
hospital.
And Jill, who had fallen at the same
time, either through excessive fright
or in consequence of having stumbled
over the same obstacle, but had re
ce1ved no serious injury, went home
! unassisted.

TEACHES ART OF SWIMMING
Apparatus Invented by California
Man Makes Children Proficient
Without Aid of Water.

An apparatus to teach swimming
without water has been invented by a
California man. The principle lies in
the fact that it will teach the proper
stroke because no other is possible,
and when this movement has become
a habit the pupil will strike out in the
correct way as soon as he or she
hits the water. The novice lies on a
padded support, which extends to her
knees. She grasps pair of pulleys
above her head. and attached to
these pulleys are cables. The cable
in her right hand is fastened to her
left ankle and that in her left hand
to her right ankle.
When the learners hands are
brought down to her sides in the arm
stroke her legs are made to kick

near their centers till what was or

blades like the propeller of a boat or

Then take stick about eight inches

wings to one end Of It. This done,
hold the device with the wings up
and then stick between the palms Of
the hand. Give 1t a twirl or two,
with the last motion shooting It
forth into the air and you will be
surprised to see 1t sail straight for

30 feet before 1t begins to descend

Worried Over His Trousers.

The humors and tragedies of New

Frank Marshall White in an article in
Harper's Weekly. Master Jacob Ros-

when DR.. M. ripped up one side of
the juvenile trousers with a pair of
scissors to make room for bandages.

cutting my new pants!' Jacob
shrieked, and almost wriggled himself
out of the grasp of the policeman and
the driver in his efforts to prevent the

boy bewailed his mangled trousers
more than he did his broken leg.

A SURPRISE.

Young Benjamin was coming down
The stairs as youngsters do,
Pausing at every step to stamp
Upon each tiny shoe.
And peeping through the banisters
He laughed aloud in glee
And held his wooden elephant
That all below might see.
Alas! when nearly down, the toy
Fell from his needless hand
And crash upon the marble floor
With heavy thud did land.
A startled step did Baby make.
With terror in his eyes.
And he. too. landed with thump,
And that was the surprise.
