Born in China and educated at

World of San Francisco was long
known as a wit and humorist as well
as a wise man. He dressed as an

Thinking to be smart, the drummer
began his conversation by asking
the impudent question, "What kind

A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Charleston Child Falls Two Sto-
ries to Stone and Lives

Falling from second story piazza
to a brick yard, sustaining a concus-
sion of the brain. unconscious for
about two hours, and four hours after
the fall sitting up in bed playing with
her toys and on the road to a speedy
and absolute recovery, 3-year-old
Clara Smith, little white girl, who
lives at No II King street, may lay
claim to being one of the most re-
markable little girls in Charleston.
At any rate, the case is unique in
medical annals, according to the ply
clan who attended the little girl af-
ter the fall.
The little girl was playing on the
upstairs piazza at about l o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and it is sup
posed that she must have climbed
upon the railing. Suddenly there
was cry and the Mortified mother
saw the body of her little one go
hurtling through the air and strike
the paved ground.
Several people rushed to the scene
of what was thought to be the trag-
edy, and they picked up the limp
form of the little girl. The child had
landed on her head, her neck had
been bent, and to the layman's eyes
it appeared that she had fractured
her skull. A physician was called
and he responded at once. He
straightenedI:the little ones spine,
fixed her neck and applied hot bot
ties to her body.
Then for about two hours the lit
tie girl was left entirely alone, and no
other methods of treatment were
used. Care and patience were re-
warded when she opened her eyes
and lisped a question. The physician
then left the house, and on his re-
turn, about two hours later, found
the little girl sitting up in bed play
ing merrily with her toys and SEEM
ingly none the worse for the acci-
dent with the exception Of a few
trivial bruises. A second examination
was made and it is believed that in
spite of the accident the child will
be perfectly normal, both physically
and mentally.-News d Courier,

B00N'S LICK ROAD.
Tho Famous Highway Was the Father
Of tho Santa Fe Trail.


The most famous highway in the
central west was the Boon's Lick
road. Surveyed in 1915 from ST..
Charles, twenty-five miles west of
St. Louis, to Old Franklin, Mo-, $50
miles farther west, it turned immi-
grafton toward central Missouri
and six years later brought Mis-
souri, into the Union as a state.
1t was the road that made Mis-
souri,, says the World Today. 1t
was the father of the Santa Fe
trail, which, extending west from
Old Franklin, brought commerce
and immigration to Kansas, Colo
RADIO and New Mexico. The making
Of roads means the building Of COM
monwealths. The Boon's Lick road
is a notable though almost forgot
ten example.
In 1904 two sons of Daniel
Boone, the great pioneer Of the
west, Daniel and Nathan Boone,
made salt at salt springs found in
central Missouri. The country was
then a wilderness. The Boones and
their companions were the only
white men in the territory west Of
St. Charles. They boiled the spring
water in huge iron kettles, and the
crude salt which formed the residue
they foated in hollow logs down the
Missouri river to be sold at the
French village of St. Louis.
Deer had come to the salt springs
to lick the salt. The place in west
ern pioneer slang was Click" and
because the Boones there manufac-
tured salt the locality was named
Boon's Lick. The Boones spelled
their name indifferently with or
without the final &C."
Two years later a settlement of
English speaking men and women
was made near Boon's Lick, and
shortly afterward the town of Old
Franklin, twelve miles distant, upon
the Missouri river, was founded.
Then arose the necessity for high
way between Old Franklin and St.
Louis and St Charles, the large cit
les Of the new west, each with sev-
eral thousand inhabitants. The
Boon's Lick road was the result.
It was not much of a road as
roads 60 now. 1t was not macad-
amized or paved or graveled. In
deed, it was little better in its early
days than q mere trace" or hint OF
the roads direction.
The two Boones, with surveying
parties, ran a line that followed the
ridge or watershed between the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers.
The smaller streams were forded.
On the large rivers were primitive
ferryboats, hollow log canoes locked
together. There were no bridges.
The signposts we're the blazes or
marks cut in the forest trees along
the roadway. The road machinery
consisted of a rifle, an az and a
grubbing hoe.

which there is no better in the South,
the hours glided by. no one realizing
how fast, until roseate dawn pro-
claimed the newborn day, and even
then it was with lingering regret
that the crowd dispersed.
At 1890 a. m. dainty refreshments
were served.
Special thanks are due the First
Artillery orchestra for the part they
played in the success OF the occasion.
They showed their appreciation OF
the hospitality extended them by the
club by continuing to play two and

as no other band can play, cheerfully
