Conscious During . Fall.

Every time a workman falls from u
forty story building there are people
to say, "Well. he probably didn't feel
It when he struck" There IS little or
no basis for this belief that n person
Is dead or unconscious at the end OF q
long fall. Our surviving Jumpers from
Brooklyn bridge prove this. and that
a person retains consciousness Is
shown by the case Of the English boy
who fell down a pit some $50 feet deep
and shouted Below three times on
the way down. One theory IS that a
person falling would not be able to
breathe, but a train at sixty miles an
hour IS moving faster than one would

Gossip among the personal friends
of President Roosevelt in New York
has it that he is by no means a rich
man. He is supposed to have spent
his entire salary while in the white
house, and has nothing left but his
personal fortune, which yields about
$4,000 year. This would be enough
for q quiet life. but it is likely to be
added to very largely during the next
two or three years by the returns from
his literary labors. The manuscript
Of his African story is expected to
bring in not less than a quarter of a
million dollars. 1t is not believed
that Mr.. Roosevelt went to Africa for
any such purI ose, but the journey did
give him an opportunity to reap a
large financial reward from his vogue.
He went away, very wisely as avents
have proven, to escape embarrassing
his friend who succeeded him in the
presidents chair. Also because he
was eager for big game hunting. No.
body will be sorry if in addition to &C.
complishing both of these purposes he
coins enough money out of the trip to
make him Independent of all financial
worries during the remainder of his
life.-State Journal.

of the country. 1t is not to farm and

Whether you acquire the American
