good buying, hut they promptly weakened
and suffered sharp losses. although there
was a recovery from the bottom. \ great

SPEEDY JIMMY LOSES
EYEBROW, ALSO A HEEL
Descends Elevator Shaft in Personally
Conducted Style and Sees "No
Use of Bovvah"

The left eyebrow of seventeen-year-
James Morton is missing. But this is all
he lost today in fall of four storie,
through the elevator shaft at the Harrison
Building, 1901 Filbert street.
James is an Industrious negro. lie has
Initiative and speed. He needed a broom
which was on the first floor and he wanted
It quickly. He stepped where the elevator
usually is, but it wasn't, and so James went
down anyhow. In fact. he even saved time
BY using his own system.
It seems that his equilibrium got dis
arranged in the sudden descent. and when
he struck the ground his head was where
his feet should have been. The contact
could not be denied, but, as James dis
approved of this manner i'm falling, he put
his hands out, which somewhat cushioned
his fall.
James was brushing his clothes off and
was about to return to work when he no.
ticed a crowd around. 1t was suggested
that he step over to the Jefferson Hospital
and get the "once over" on general prin-
ciples.
"Ah don see wha dere should be all
dis trubbi bout it, said James, II jiss
fell. didn I. and didn' bovvah enybodah"
But he went to the hospital for the
sake of peace.
In addition to the lacerated brow it was
found that the third finger of the left hand
was scratched and the heel of a shoe was
missing.
