Prof. Hale Smith had quite q hair
raising experience with two small boys
playing in his yard as the principal
actors. They were running and jump
ing, trying to see who could jump the
farthest. There was a cistern in the
yard, which was unknown to these lit
tie fellows. One Of the boys seeing q
plank lying on the ground. and right
in the place where they wished to play
decided to remove 1t. He therefore
walked up to h plank and disap-
peared from sight, having stepped on
into the cistern. The water was not
deep. only coming up to his upper lip
and by raising his head a trifle he
could keep it above the water. Luck
