TOOK AL SORTS OF CHANCES
Reckless Motorist Furnished Every
Kind of Thrill That tHss Passen-
gers Could Possibly Desire.

The MuScovite who was driving our
Benz over a Persian mountain pass
had the most original method of de-
ever seen.
Instead of putting his clutch into
second gear, he would shut off his
pow er entirely and then so charging
downward at terrific speed, the big
car lurching from side to- side of the
preeipice bordered road like, runa
way locomotive.
The ordinary curves he took on tive
wheels, presumably to save rubber but'
when we were within a few yards of
ONE of the hairpin turns. with which.
the road abounded, with nothing but.
emptiness ahead, he would suddenly
jam on foot and emergency brakes Sd
multaneously, thus locking his rear
wheels and causing the stern Of the car
to skid around the corner
And sometimes, at the narrower
places, where the outside of the road
ended In "a drop into nothing below
you as far as beggar could Spit" ne
would give us an eXtras thrill by grip
ping the steering wheel with his knees
so that he would have both hands free
to light a cigarette.
do not think that, am particu-
larry nervous person, but am frank to
say that heaved sigh of relief when
we reached the bottom. There were
several moments when l wondered If l

WELL DESERVED HIGH HONOR
of Her Sex to Have Monu-
ment in United States.

MARGARET X Haughery of New Or
leans was the first woman in the
United States honored by monument.
For time she was q laundress Later
she bought two cows and opened
dairy, and herself drove a cart to de-
liver the milk. Presently she bought
a bakery, and peddled bread instead
of milk. The bakery grew TO be a
factory, and she gave up peddling>
RagamufIins, newsboys, clerks, porterS
and great merchants all called her
Margaret. She always wore a calico
dress and had a small shawl over her
shoulders and her only head covering
was a sunbonnet.
Margaret's hobby was orphans. She
gave food and collected it from others,
and she gave money constantly. She
never learned to read or write, and
she signed with a mark the will that
distributed her thousands of dollars
among the orphan asylums of the city.
When she died in 1882 fund for
statue was at once collected, and al
most before she was missed statue,
representing her familiar figure, was
erected.

All the editor has to do is sit at a
desk six days in the week, four
weeks in a month and twelve
months in the year and edit such
stuff as this:
Mrs. Jones of Cactus Creek let a can
opener slip last week and cut herself
in the pantry.
mischevous lad of Piketon threw
a stone and cut Mr. Pike in the alley
last Tuesday.
Joe Doe climbed on the roof of his
house last week looking for a leak, and
fell, striking himself on the back
porch.
While Harold Green was escorting
Miss Violet Wise from the church
social last Saturday night, a savage
dog attacked them and bit Mr.. Green

Most authorities appear to be
agreed that during sleep there is a
lessened amount of blood in the
brain, This is why excitement pre-
vents sleep, or hard thinking, for
then there is a greater flow of blood
TO the brain This was proved in an
interesting manner by MossO, who
balanced a man on a scale and showed
that the head end would become de-
pressed when the man was made to
think or was subjected TO excitement

Wire Telegraphy for Mines.

In a mine disaster it frequently hap
pens that the same agency that causes
the disaster puts the telephone system
out of order That is why mining en-
gineers are experimenting with the
wireless system. In recent tests near
Pittsburgh a receiving station 80 feet
underground got short-wave signals
from outside distinctly, but the audi
bility fell off rapidly as the distance
underground was increased. In eE'
periments in England a three-tube SET
placed at a 2000-foot level communi-
Gated easily with the pit mouth, and
better results were obtained at great
depths than at points comparatively
near the surface.-Youth's Compan-

Deadhead is the literal translation
of the Latin phrase, caput mortuum,
which was much used by the old
chemists to denote the residuum of

tiers had escaped hence the word is

which all that rendered it valuable
