How would you like to sail sky ward for 1,500 foot or more hanging with your feet entangled in a rope and your head down ? Such was the experience of Carlton E. Myers, a twelve-year-old West Liberty (la.) boy on July 6 last. Carl was help ing hold a big balloon down when suddenly it sprang into the air. His feet were caught in the ropes, and to the amazement of every one he was carried upward in the wake of the big airship. The boy bravely clung to the line and finally caught one of the dangling parachute ropes. Twisting himself about this, he CA.BLTON E. UZEKS. gradually worked his way up to the balloon. When his strange convey ance had reached the height of about 1,500 feet, a current of air struck it, and it drifted away. There was a novel and exciting c|iase for the balloon on the part of the crowd, some in wagons, some on horseback, others on foot. After a chase of three miles the balloon was seen slowly to descend. It final ly came to earth in a field of grain, where it gently dropped the young aeronaut. A triumphal procession was formed, and the .boy was car lied back home, and there a purse of a hundred dollars was raised to show to the boy how much his pluck was appreciated.—American Boy. The Siberian Tiger. While the keepers in the various zoological gardens exercise great care in protecting their charges from chilling winds, there is one member of the cat tribe' who stays in an exterior cage of the lion house even on the coldest days. He is the Siberian tiger in New York's me nagerie. Such is the climate of his native land that he need not fear anything in the way of cold that that city can produce. The Siberian tiger is probably the largest member of the cat family, and some claim for him the added distinction of be ing the most ferocious. In the win ter the exile is one of the most at tractive features of the menagerie. The colder the weather the more animated he becomes. He paces the cage all day long with eyes glowing and head erect, longing, no doubt, to feast on the rosy children who gather in crowds before his prison. It is in hot weather that the other members of the cat fam ily have the laugh on their hand some cousin, as the saying is. The Siberian tiger has no winters of dis content; he has summers. It is piti able to see his suffering when the sun begins to warm things up. At such times the poor beast lies on the floor of his cage from morning to night with his tongue hanging from his mouth. Boys, Remember This. Sharp eyed men of business take note of a boy's general appearance in making up their estimate of what he is worth. A straightforward, manly bearing will help any lad to get his way in the world, while the haphazard sort of away usually sug gests to the observer a correspond ing character. Manliness is not a garment you can put on and off like your Sunday coat. It must have its foundation in the heart or it will be a flimsy sham that will deceive nobody.—Golden Days. Tommy at School. Visitor—Well, Tommy, how are you getting on at school? Tommy (aged eight)— Pretty well. I ain't doing as well as some of the other boys, though. I can stand on my head, but 1 have to put my feet against the fence. I want to do it without being near the fence at all, and I guess 1 can after awhile.— Exchange. Up So High.

On a recent occasion King Chris tian of Denmark while out for a walk met one of his courtiers who was renowned for his stinginess. As it happened, on a previous occasion the king had "treated" him, and it had come to the royal ears that the courtier had not yet finished grum bliftg at having been "bilked." Full of desire to repair the past, the king rushed up to his subject. "Now, my dear count, I am really going to stand treat on this occa sion," he said. Then, lo and behold, as usual, on searching for money the king found none! Luckily at that moment he saw through the open door the crown prince and his equerry rid ing by. The king rushed out and called to his son: "For goodness' sake, lend me some cash. I've stood treat to Count So and-so again, and if he finds himself done for tho second time he will raise a rebellion." The situation was saved, hut the court has not yet finished its laugh. —Candid Friend. Looked the Part. Senator Bard of California is said to be rather careless about his dress and is rarely seen in the frock coat and shining silk hat generally supposed to constitute the garb of a senator. Ilis brother, who somewhat resembles him, is, on the contrary, very particular about liis apparel. A story is going the rounds to tho ef fect that the brothers were travel ing together through the interior last summer when they met many of the senator's constituents. At a little station that lay on their route a rough old minor board ed the train and, holding his hand out to Mr. Bard, said: "How d'ye do, senator? Glad to see yer in these diggin's." "I'm not tho senator," explained Mr. Bard. "It's my brother here that you are looking for." The miner gave one withering glance at Senator Bard. "Waal," he remarked slowly, "of yer ain't tho senator yer ought to be, fur yer look the part an' he don't." Tramps' Mew Scheme. The hoboes who wander up and down the highways in Kansas have invented a plan that furnishes them the best living possible. One of the promoters of the scheme went to a hotel man in the western part of the state not long since and repre sented that he was an employee of a railway company and was working on tho section near the town. He made arrangements to hoard at the hotel until he had received his first check. He was given a good room and plenty to eat. Every day Ins dinner pail, which tho landlord had bought for him, was filled in the morning, and ho went down the track to work, as it was supposed. Ho board ed at the hoi el for two weeks and one morning left and did not re turn. lie took tho dinner pail along. Investigation proved that he had never worked on the section and the only work which he per formed which left any visible re sults was on tho credulity of the hotel keeper, A Common Governor. The Kansas City Journal says that some of tho young women com posing an orchestra visited the Kan sas statehousc tiro other day. They were wandering aimlessly about when a gentleman, observing that they were strangers, took them into the office of the governor and intro duced them to that dignitary. Gov ernor Stanley is an adept at making people feel at ease, and he soon had tho young women laughing and jok ing at a great rate, but the most amusing thing of all did not occur until the party had passed from the governor's office into tho corridor. There one of the girls commenced to jump up and down and said ex citedly: "Glory, glory! Now I can go home and tell papa that at last I have seen a live governor. But," she continued more soberly, "I did not expect to find a governor so common that ho would meet people without his uniform on." Japan's Peerage. Japan has been very busy lately creating peers. No fewer than 275 have been added to the number since tho system was inaugurated. In 1884, when peers were first created, patents were granted to 11 princes, excluding princes of the blood; 24 marquises, 73 counts, 321 viscounts, and 74 barons. Now the numbers stand: Eleven princes, 34 marquises, 89 counts, 3G3 viscounts and 281 barons. The total in 1884 was 503; today it is 778. Reforestation. Connecticut is the latest to take up the question of reforestation. Many states have awakened to this fact, hut the damage already has been done, and it will he a hard matter to find a remedy.—Los An geles Express. , ; CONDENSED STORIES. He Preferred a Bottle of "Whuskey' to "Sharrpcen." When Sir Evelyn Wood had his famous irregulars out once after the hostile natives in Cape Colony, lie found himself in a curious fix, says London M. A. P. lie was on one side of a ravine with his small force. The enemy occupied the other side in thousands, keeping well in bush cover. To go straight across at them might mean another Isandula, and Sir Evelyn was too cute to be caught in n trap of that sort. Sir Evelyn pondered the position for a time and then called for one of the best bushnu-n among the ir regulars. The Scotchman who re lated the incident was selected, and the general asked him if he could contrive to draw the enemy from cover. The end was that the hardy irregular rode away round out ol sight under a kloof and came on up the ravine as if he were not aware of the presence of either party. Dis mounting, he started to make a tire, as if about to camp. Soon the Zu lus came rushing down the slopes after him in great masses, and the next moment shrapnel shells from Wood's camp were playing among them. A large number were killed, and the rest cleared off for good, much alarmed by the sharp lesson. "I galloped back under the shells," said the Scotchman in recalling the incident, "an' when I got in the general came up an' shook hands wi' me. He gied me a bottle o' shampeen, too, an', fwhat was bet ter, he changed it when I nskit him for a bottle of whuskey!" A Modest Request. General Alger in his hook, recent ly published, tells of a unique re quest that came to the war depart ment from a young ladv in Boston during the Spanish-American war. lie says: "Her note paper, handwrit ing and rhetoric vouched at least for the culture of the writer. Her request was simple and plainly worded. With much unfeigned ear nestness she stated her case. The press dispatches had announced that the volunteer regiment of which her brother was a member was to leave for Cuba on a fixed date. But the brother's birthday occurred two days after the date assigned for his embarkation, A birthday box of cake, jellies, pies, etc., she said, had been forwarded to him and would not be received if the regiment left on the date an nounced. She naively asked that the regiment he detained until the sweetmeats arrived, as she was sure it would make no difference to the government, whereas it would he 'oh, such a disappointment for my brother!'" Wanted More Talk. Booker T. Washington tells this story in his autobiography, "Up From Slavery:" "The number of people who stand ready to consume ones time to no purpose is almost countless. At one time I spoke he fore a large audience in Boston in the evening. The next morning 1 was awakened by having a card m WANTED MOKE TALK. brought to my room and with it a message that some one was anxious to see me. Thinking that it must be something very important, 1 dressed hastily and went down. When I reached the hotel office, I found a blank and innocent looking individual waiting for me, who cool ly remarked: 'I heard you talk at a meeting last night. I rather liked your talk, and so I came this morn ing to hear you talk some more.'" From an English Source. An English newspaper tells by way of illustrating what it calls "the native precocity of the Amer ican child" this story of an incident on board an Atlantic liner: A little girl barely seven years of age who had tasted every dish at the saloon dinner on the first day out was not asked by the steward in attendance whether she would have cheese. The man offered the little miss ice cream, fruit and cakes, only to receive a re fusal in each case. On asking whether there was anything else on the table she would like, the small diner replied with a great air of dig nity : "Yes. Bring me softie Camem bert and champagne, please.'''
