great master. Rembrandt, he was sold
out for debt Rembrandt was sold
out only twice. The Butterfly" un
derwent three such forced sales.
Irving heard of the sale. Unknown

then in a spirit of friendly retaliation
he invited the Butterfly" TO dinner.

Workers for Bethany Home on the
Streets Despite Wind and
Chilly Atmosphere.

The girls and women to whom
were entrusted the sale of Bethany
Home tags on the streets today
were not dismayed by the unfavor-
able prospects which greeted them
this morning. No amount of chilly
cutting blasts and heavy sullen
clouds could curb their enthusiasm
and the result was the collections for
the morning were very good. Had
the usual number of Saturday morn
ing shoppers been on the streets,
there would have been little doubt
bout passing the high mark set last
year when the total amount turned
over to Bethany Home was over
$1,000. AS it was, however, the
hopes were strong that the days col
lections would not fall short of this
mark.

DEATH BY FALLING.
Pain and Fear Seem to Have No Place
In the Ordeal.

IN the OroeaI
1t is difficult to imagine a more hor-
rible accident than falling with an
airship. yet in the opinion OF a Ger
man psychologist. Fritz Kahn, death
resulting from such fall IS not ex-
ceptionally painful. says the New
York Evening Post. He argues that
II Is likely to be met in a state of in
difference or even an agreeable half
conscious condition of mind. He wit
messed the fall of Heim-a fall which
lasted a number of seconds. as the
airship futtered to and fro like a
piece of paper before the final descent.
The distance was about eighty yards.
On recovering consciousness after sew
eral days Helm remembered only the
ascent. Everything between that and
his awakening ia the hospital was a
blank.
Mountain climbers have bad similar
experiences. a French Ceo!Ogist who
fell over a prccipice attests that he
swooned and never knew what hap
pened. Whymper. on the other hand.
remained fully conscious when he fell
on the Matterhorn. Rounding from
rock to rock. he calculated the inter
walls between the shocks. wondered
how long be could stand il. felt no
pain and came to the conclusion that
death through a fall must be one of
the least disagreeable ways of ending
ones life. A boy OF eight who fell
twenty-five yards declared that his
only thought was that he might lose
his new pocketknife.
At a meeting of the Swiss Alpine
club the geolOGist Helm described his
feelings during a fall. His first
thought was that now he would be
una bic to deliver the address he had /
promised: then he thought of the eff |
feet on his family of the news OF his /
death. He wanted to take off his spec /
tacles TO save his eyes from being |
da mayed by broken glass. Various 4
scenes from his past life fitted across .
his consciousness in rapid succession. /
There was no fear. no pain. but rather .
an agreea bic state of mind. like that I.
which is brought on by soft music.
