and, looking up at the man, shrieked
for him to jump.
The human torch leaped. Below, the
little woman braced her feet for the
impact, while a dozen husky men gaz

outstretched arms she grasped him
and fell back into a deep snow drift.
The man had been saved from pos

out of the snow drift and rolled the
man in the snow, beat the flames with
her hands and smothered them with E

working as a telegraph messenger.
When his work was over. usually
about II o'clock at night. he prepared
his lessons for the next day. He is

his class.
Because of the family's poverty he
has had to study by candle light at

failure of vision only temporary. but
when home remedies failed to relieve
him a physician was called. On his ad-

Plans to Increase Power.
1t has often been suggested that
the possible succession of the vice
president to the higher office war
rants his receiving an increase of
power and importance. Two plans
have been put forward-O to
make the vice president a member
Of the cabinet; CD to give him a
vote as a member of the senate.
The purpose of this increase of
power is to assure the nomination
of men of high caliber, and to erase
from the popular mind the impress
sion that any one will do for the
tail of the ticket.
The salary of the vice president
is $4,000 per annum, less than
one-siXth of the amount paid to
the president; and the same as
paid to the members of the cabi-
net. The vice president, like the
president, may be impeached, but
this has never happened in the his
tory OF the United States. Presi-
dent Johnson escaped conviction
in an impeachment trial by one
vote.
