AN INCIDENT THAT Will GO Dl|WN IN HISTORY
One of the Most Remarkable Reports Known to the Mec
cal World; Occurrence that was Never Known to
Happen Before and May Never Happen Again

When the Health Teacher was here
he advertised and told the people that
the Quaker Extract would expel any
and all worms, germs and parasites
that infest the human body. Mrs.
McElroy, a widow lady, who resides at
Williams and James streets, was the
first to call. She stated that she had
a 9-year-old son, Charlie, who was
sickly and puny and she could see
the very spark of his life slowly but
surely ebbing away, although the boy
would eat hearty, but all he ate SEEM
ed to do him no good. The Health

would be missed by the men In the bunk house. but they would suppose he only had gone on a spree, as he had various times before. His skeleton would be found 2rob- ably the following summer. when the snows disappeared-when some inqusitive person, seeing the brush broken through and the timbers shattered, matched it up with the disappearance of Big Missouri
 As he hung there things that had seemed to pass out of his life altogether sudden ly came back into his mind. He thought of his childhood: of his boyish companions; of his mother; of his rough life and of his waywardness. Strange how fast and how clearly a man can think under such cir cumstances! The little happenings of long ago assumed an importance out of all proportion to the events that had con trolled his later life. He wondered what chance he would have in the hereafter.
 His arm began to ache hideously from the strain of supporting his big body. He had to raise his other arm despite the pain in order to rest the good arm, if only for few seconds. It was agonizing to put any weight on the injured arm, but it had to be done. Then Big Missouri be- gan to think of his mother, and of a prayer she taught him when he was a boy. He couldn't remember the words
 but he knew the sense of them. He could hang on but a minute or two longer he knew. He could not raise himself or re- lieve the tension with that injured arm again. He was not coward, but he was not ready to die Whatever there was of good in Big Missouri came to the sur face just then. He determined that if by any chance he was rescued alive he would lead different life. He would give up drinking; he would cease swearing; he would never gamble again.
 The straip on his arm was becoming unbearable.S Every nerve in his body seemed to be giving way The words of the simple prayer his mother taught him so long ago suddenly came back and he repeated them. As he finished he closed his eyes, relaxed his hold and dropped l two feet.
 MT. Hector Dwiggins of Wall Street and his wife were entertaining Mr. and Mrs Murray at the Plaza with a dinner The attention of the ladies was attracted by a handsome, stylish woman. who had been escorted by the head walter to a side table. The two women scrutinized her SC intently that, subconsciously, she turned her head. At the same time MT. Dwigglns | glanced in her direction. She smiled mosl engagingly and he bowed as to an old | friend. Furthermore, he made his ex- cuses to the ladies, went over and shook hands cordially with the newcomer, chat ting with her vivaciously for several min.

never wanted to lose time, which also meant loss of money and loss of 2om- panionship. To stay around the buns house would have been torture. He was of too gregarious a disposition to loaf. Eight or ten inches of snow had fallen in the night, but Big Missouri went plow- ing through it as if it were nothing. It was more than half mile from the bunk house to the mouth of the mine and the trail was like the path of a snake. Big Missouri could not see 8 soul ahead, but the whistle of the little sta tionary engine that raised and lowered the cage in the shaft told him he had only a few minutes to get there. If he missed that trip of the cage he would have to wait for an hour. Not only that, but he would be docked for half a day.
 Swearing at himself, swearing at the weather, swearing at the company, swear Ing at the cage and at everything else, Big Missouri determined on making short cut to try to get there in time. He left the trail, and, his big boots slipping at every step. began climbing the hillside to cut off half the distance. It was much heavier going than in following the trail that had been made by the miners on their way through the regular road, but he didn't mind that as he floundered along. He put on little extra speed, and he

make an easier resting place for himself. But Big Missouri had most unpleasant surprise. When he tried to raise himself he banged against other timbers or against the brush, and his progress was arrested When he raised his other arm the pain that shot through his body made him know something serious had happened to that member. Next he stretched one leg out to rest it against the side of the pit, but the furthest he could reach only brought his toes barely within touching distance of the rock. There was no sup port to be got that way. One of his legs ached horribly. Big Missouri thought that it, like the arm, must be broken.
 Whatever fog there had been in Mis- sours mind from what he had imbibed the night before cleared suddenly. It was plain to him that he was for the first tim. in his life face to face with death and eternity. It was not question of hours, but of minutes, how long he could cling to that piece of timber. To let go and drop into the abyss might mean the end. If he was not killed instantly he probably would be still further crippled and lie there suffering the tortures of thirst, star vation and pain, until the last. There practically was no chance of rescue. The wind would wipe out his tracks up the mountainside within a few hours. He

utes. When he returned to his party, the tiful woman was.
 That" said he, lis Mrs. Hayward. She used to live over on Rivers de Drive. But that isn't where l first met her. I've known her great many years.
 "Why, you never spoke of her to me-" remarked Mrs. Dwiggins with the least suspicion of an edge to her tone.
 "No-I knew her before we were mar ried my dear" explained MT. Dwiggins.
 Both ladies declared Mrs. Hayward was the best dressed woman and the most distinguished they had seen in many months She had an air, they said, what ever "air'' may mean. Her figure was superb and she would attract attention in any gathering.
 MT. Dwiggins smiled.
 "Yes," said he, "she always was that way. I knew her out west. She was the belle of Crazy Horse when I knew her first. There was not a man in town who was not in love with her, myself included. She was the waitress in what they called a hotel. And she was as good a waitress as ever handed hash or shot biscuit. She was not Mrs. Hay ward then, but simply Tessie. I don't know where she came from and I had forgotten all about her until I met her here one day in Riverside Drive, and then she was about as you see her now She had married miner-and he was big rich! She told me the story and I'll tell it to you in about the same way.

 work and plain living.
 "On New Years Day following his ac cident he left his boarding place a little after daylight and went over the hill, to the spot where he had fallen int the abandoned mine. He had made som, inquiries previously and found that tn' persons who had done the development work on the claim had allowed title tt | lapse. He relocated the claim and be | came owner.

He must have had streak of supersti- ton in him, for he was firm in the belief
 that the Almighty didn't tumble him into that pit and convert him suddenly, with
 out having some special object in view for his benefit, aside from saving his im- | mortal soul.
 well, he spent $500 on the mine, and then $500 more. Then he spent $500 more
 and after that $500 more! With supreme faith, he sank his money into that pit. The miners shook their heads whenever thet heard his name mentioned. That blow he got on the head in his fall and his suffer- ings during the twenty-four hours of his 1 lying at the bottom of that dismal hole had affected his brain, they said. s'For nearly four years the fellow kept | up his work. He never complained, but l smilingly paid the men he employed and | seemed to be perfectly. satisfied with everything that was lone. Then one day,
 near the end of the fourth year. the whole Black Hills country was startled at the l news that he had struck gold and | struck it richl He was character, you
 know, and the whole country round about knew him.
 He sold that hole in the ground to the | Haggn people for hmalf a million dollars. l After he closed the deal, he went down to 1 the hashhouse and asked Tessie to marry l 1 honeymoon-and for business They took
 an apartment on Riverside Drive and Mrs. | Hayward started to become acquainted | with New York; to acquire polish and to bathe her soul in all the many things she

OUR BIG SOIL SURVEY-By Frank C.

down from the mountains. This is disin- tegrated rock, which has rolled over and over, in these countless billions of grains, untif it has built up the land on the edge of the sea. We have a great strip of that kind of soil running along the Gulf of Mexico, and on the Atlantic coast as far north as the edge of New England. This is excellent land for farming and vege- tables.
 It raises corn and all sorts of crops
 in the south; in Florida it makes cot ton and gives us the fruits of the tropics. Of this about S3,oOOO00 acres have been already surveyed.
 Just back of this region. lying east of the Appalachian mountains, is what is known as the Piedmont plateau, an- other great strip of soil. This is made of different rock and Is so situated that the rock has disintegrated or routed and lies where it went to pieces. These soils have special character of their own, and they need special treat ment.
 The Loess of the United States Still further west is the Appalachian region, which, as far as I can under stand, is of less value that most other soils and to the north and west of it, comprising the upper Mississippi valley and the most of the land about the great lakes, are what are known as the glacial and loessial soils. These com prise large part of the corn basket and bread basket of the United States, and they are exceedingly rich.
 You many have read of the great loess region of China. It consists of a mighty plateau of clay made up of particles as fine as the finest dust l Over this the winds are constantly blowing, and through it some great rivers run. The winds have carried the dust all over central and eastern | China, and have built up there the richest lands of the world. The Yangtse Kiang and the Hoang Ho carry down l many billions of tons of this dirt every
