RICHEST BoY RISKS LIFE.

Newport. r. l., September Those
in the vicinity of Brentons Cove. this
city. had a surprise yesterday when
John Nicholas Brown. the son OF Mrs.
John Nicholas Brown and heir to
many millions. walked out on the
water with a pair OF canoelikc shoes.
While at FIRST he had n lite dlm-
Guilty in navigating, the boy soon be-
came accustomed to tho new footgear
and was able to move along with con-
siderable speed. In all he covered
about mile and had a lot OF fun at
the same time.
The curious shoes were made by the
boys uncle. D. Leroy Dresser. and
while they are not an original idea Of
Mr.. Dresser's they have one feature OF
his own. that of having several pad
die arrangements hinged on the bot
tom. which enable the walker to push
against the water. The shoes, which
are about eight feet long and sin inches
wide. are built of light framework,
covered with canvas. and have q com
partment in the centre for the feet.
Master Brown was assisted by his
uncle and by his tutor. E. Hoffman.

THE HUMAN HOLIDAY.

It is the one in which each Individual

fore the day set aside in recognition
or this universal heritage OF toll
should not only he celebrated by rest
from toll. though that in i,self has
peculiar ceremonial Significance. but

to rejection upon the solemn fact of
laboring. Later IN tho year we give
thanks for tho fruits OF toll this day.

means Of living. but also the means
OF makins life beautiful. 1t is the gift
of making something worth while OF
