CHILD FELL 80 FEET
Picked Up ON Sidewalk Apparently
But Little Hurt

After falling 26 feet from a third
story window in Brunelle's block to
the concrete sidewalk yesterday
| forenoon, little Leo Smith, aged
two and one-half years, was picked
up apparently uninjured. The little
fellow was playing in the room
while his mother, Mrs. Murdo Smith,
and her sister sat chatting. 1t is
thought that he was standing with
his toes on the base board and his
head pressed against the screen and
in some way forced the screen out.
His weight being above the window
sill he pitched out head first. Hear
ing the noise his mother ran scream
ing to the open window, but was too
late to catch him. After the boy
struck the sidewalk nearly 80 feet
below, he sat up and although stun
ned, he quickly recovered after be-
ing carried upstairs to his home.
Three doctors and the father of
the boy were Immediately summon
ed, and after a most thorough exam
ination the physicians announced
that except for a slight swelling
over the left eye, they were unable
to find any injuries. Unless it de-
velops that the boy IS injured in
ternally there is no doubt of his
recovery.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were
frantic over the accident as they
fully expected that the little fellow
had been fatally injured, and they
are at loss to explain how he could
have escaped injury after such a
fall. There was nothing to break
his fall as the awning in front of
the meat market was closed
Driver Mclean of Russell's ice
cart was the first to go to the child's
aid. He found him sitting on the
the iron cover to a man hole in front
of the meat market. Mclean pick
ed the boy up and, not knowing
where he had fallen from was about
to start for the hospital with him
when told that his home was in the
block.
The news spread quickly and
soon a crowd had gathered around
the block and all day passersby
would measure the distance from
the window to the ground and
marvel at the child's miraculous
escape.

ial make.
While the family were at supper
Newell got James Freeman into the
side-car and then started the ma
chine. Everything went nicely un-
til they were returning from the
Playground and reached Railroad
street, when Drulet thinking to
shut off the power, increased the
speed and was then unable to
control the machine.
While travelling at a speed, which
witnesses claim was almost so miles
an hour, the machine struck a car
riage. containing Mrs. Sparrow, her
small child, and MRS. Sparrow's
mother. The carriage was struck
in the rear throwing the occupants
to the ground but happily none OF
them were seriously injured. The
carriage was demolished.

KAISER A GOOD FARMER
Relates His Experiences Before
German Agricultural Council.

Berlin, Feb. 12.-Emperor
William gave an interesting ac-
count of his experiences as a
farmer in an informal speech
delivered today before the Ger
man agricultural council.
He vert into details i'm re-
gard to ghe improvements he
had made on his estate at Kati-
men. Since 1907 he has in
creased the arabic land there
from 500 to $50 acres, besides
reclaiming 800 acres of meadow
land, which previously had pro-
duced practically nothing. 1t
gave 225 tons of hay beside
pasturing seventy or eighty
cattle in 1909. In 1910 it Weld
ed $50 tons of hay and pastured
120 cattle and 80 horses.
The Emperor concluded:
After my experience it is be-
yond all doubt that the German
farmers are able to supply
Germany's entire food, not only
now, but when we have in
creased population in the fu-
ture."
