AUTO RACER AND
 MACHAN|CIAN DIE
Carl Limberg and His Assistant Cat apulted 100 Feet From Speedway Lost Control of Car at 100
 Miles an Hour.

New York, May ii.-Carl Limberg, an automobile racer, and R. Pallotti his machanician, leading the field in the fifteenth lap of the i50-mile race for the Metropolitan trophy were killed when their machine crashed into guard rail on the Sheepshead Bay track yesterday afternoon.
 Limberg, who had been taking the turns near the very top of the high saucer track, apparently lost control of his car while rounding the bend at speed of more than 100 miles an hour. Both men were catapulted 100 feet over the rail and crashed to the ground. about 30 feet below Limberg was impaled on an upright piece of timber and was killed in- stantly. pallotti died on the way to the hospital.
 The machine, one of the three French cars imported for the race by Harry S. Hardness. crumpled un- der the impact and burst into flames. The blazing car clung to the rail as the other drivers flashed past without slackening their speed, ignorant of the fate of their fellow racers. A flash of flame and cloud of black smoke told the spec tators that an accident had hap pened. However. as it occurred at the far turn of the two-mile saucer, few realized that it marked tragedy.
 Lirnberg's wife was in the grand stand As the other cars dashed by she missed her husbands machine and realized that he must be the victim of the accident, An attend ant escorted her to the hospital. where she was told Limberg had been taken. Not until she reached there did she learn that he was dead. Few of those in the stands knew until the race was nearly over that two men had lost their lives.

Sally Plum
BY Lawrence Alfred Clay

Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary
Press.)
The records of the Plum family
bear witness that Sally Plum, as a
baby. child and young girl, was
different from others. She was Sc
date and serene from the first. She
went through scarlet rash and whoop-
ing cough and measles without a
complaint She had no use for rag
dolls and play houses. She did not
climb trees nor play marbles with
the boys.
At the age of sixteen Sally attended
Sunday school picnic which lasted
all day. The only time during the
day she was heard to utter a remark
was when a woman asked her If she
wasn't sorry she came She replied:
Yes, ma'am." and that was all.
1t was because Sally was SO diff
ferent from other girls that her
grandfather left her $4,000. He
also left Sally's widowed mother half
that amount. The two lived in q
village and were the richest persons
In II.
Besides being odd and different,
Sally was plain of face and rather
awkward OF figure. At twenty she
had never thought love nor talked 1t.
No young man had walked with her.
She had never read = novel. and she
did not know the meaning Of romance.
She cooked and washed and ironed
and baked and sewed carpet rags, and
was serene
