B*by Falls 20 F?*v an<l Sleeps. St. Paul. ? "A baby at 276 Uni- ' veraity avenue fell from a porch! ; Send a doctor! Send the ambulance!" This urgent appeal over the telephone stirred Desk Surgeant Murnane to action yesterday afternoon. A1 No. 276 a woman?her face chalk colored?held an infant in her arms. "She fell?off?the back porch," the mother said. Then she explained that the baby had not regained consciousness. The ambulance surgeon tore some of the child's clothing from her body and investigated for broken bones. He could find none. He felt of the infant's pulse. It was beating naturally. Then he lifted her eyelids. The baby yawned a few times and opened her eyes, displaying two beautiful orbs. "Coo-chee, Coo-chee," said the police surgeon, tickling the baby's feet. There was some hesitation on the infant's part, and then: "Uoo goo," replied the baby. Dr. Rutherford told the mother of Mildred Reno?eleven months old?that the fall had not awakened the baby, which had been sleeping on the back porch?almost 20 feet from the ground, before ber fall. "And you believed all the while that she was unconscious," he addk ec*' The happy mother drew the baby to her and kissed her. Dr. Rutherford went out the door. HK('KI,KSS RACKR IS KilJiKI). His Ambition to Drive an Aero-. plane at the Ilato of UOO Milt's ait Hour. Milwaukee, June 20. ? L?e\vis P. Strang, one of the most daring ami reckless automobile racing drivers in America, and who recently began to carry his dare-deviltry aloft in aeroplanes, paid the penalty of his "always-take-a-chance" motto to-day. Stang was killed beneath his car at Blue River, Wis., while participating in the State Reliability Tour. Going along at a high speed, he "took a chance" by endeavoring to steer his machine between a team of horses and a ditch, to avoid slowing down. His car went over the edge of a steep embankment and turned turtle, crushing hini to death. Three companions, Jaegersborger and Lester Clark, racing drivers, and anotli, er man whose name is not known, jumped and escaped injury, but Strang was held fast bv his steering wheel. Warned Ho Would bo Killod. Throughout the tour Strang's recklessness had been noticed and commented on. The original occupants of his machine a couple of days ago refused to ride any longv er with him and warned him he would be killed. But be merely, laughed. Strang came into prominence first as the winner of the Briarcliff road race in Westchester county. New Yorlr nwl ,>< i)t? Onuo.. ....i. road race in 1907, driving the Isotta car of John H. Tyson, a young Connecticut millionaire, also famed for his terriffic speed. Strang practically unknown before that, being merely a eliaffeur for Tyson, but he became a hero all of a sudden, and commanded a high salary as a professional driver of Buick, Reanult and other racing cars. He entered road and track races, , Vanderbilt and Brand Prix and had a triumphant career for several years, breaking all sorts of records and many a time nearly breaking is neck. Two of his mechanicians fv?re killed?1 Emile Strieker, at Birmingham, Ala., and W. P. Bradley, at Brighton Beach. Bis* Strang, sitting beside them seemed to have a charmed life. One of his most spectacular feats was to drive a racing machine at sixty miles an hour on a high banked bicycle track only one-twelfth of a mile in circumference, smaller fs, than the one in Madison Square Garden. 300 Miles an Hour His Pace. Strang turned to ballooning for excitement in 1909 and sailed several creditable races. Then when aeroplanes became more or less familiar, he tackled that game, saying: "One hundred miles an hour on the ground is too slow; I want to drive 200 miles an hour in the air." He made several flights in :i Tleriot and in a Wilcox biplane at Mineola last year, but never really got to be a great aviator. ' >IIIK I4.HA Kl'SHHI) TO OHNVKK. Senator's Wife H urried West <>11 S|?eeijil Train in Effort to Save Her Life. Washington, July 15.?Mrs. Luke Ijea, wife of Senator Lea, of Tennessee, is being tushed across the continent in a special car in a race against death. Senator Lea, a physician and nurse are with the sick woman who is being hurried to Colorado as a last resort in fight uk an uiiuck ui puruniouui. It was only a few weeks ago that Senator Lea's wife was near death as the result of an operation in the Georgetown hospital. At that the doctors declared that a fresh supply of blood \yas the only thing that would save her. Senator Lea offered his own blood. The urgency of the ease was such that the physicians did not wait to analyze the husband's blood to ascertain if it was fusible with that of the patient. An artery in Senator Lea's arm was opened and two . quarts of his blood allowed to flow into the veins of his wife. The transfusion was a success and Mrs. Lea promptly rallied. The loss of blood left Senator Lea very weak. He fainted after the operation was over and was confined to bed for j several days. Mrs. Lea continued to gain and was moved to Deer Park, Md. Last Monday, however, she had a turn . for the worse. She developed pneu* monia and in Wednesday night the physicians said there was no hope of saving her life unless she could be taken at once into a rarer air. Senator Lea chartered a car, ob' ' i.. ... t ... (ft tained a physician and nurse and started for Denver, where they are fl due to-night. " ??? * HAS IMON OFFICER'S SWORD. Orangeburg Man Offers to Return I Weapon Found 011 Battlefield. Milford, Mass., July 19. ? Spe- I cial: Commander Henry Alonzo I Pond, of Major Amnions F. Fletch- B er, Post, No. 22, G. A. R., to-night g received a letter from O. K. Wil- 1 son, of Orangeburg, S. C., which reads in part: "I can place in P possession of John Reed, of Mil- : ford, Mass, if he is living or any of his relatives, a swordpicked up j on the battlefield after either the battle of the Wilderness or Cold Harbor. The sword is engraved ? John Reed, Milford, Mass. L. H. Bteckwith, who was first sergeant of Company B., South Carolina cavalry, under Gen. Wade Hampton, the noted Confederate officer, picked up the sword and his son now has it." Mr. Wilson also writes that he is a Massachusetts boy, who went South nine years ago from Chico pee, and he inclosed a clipping from a newspaper, which says he is a candidate for mayor of Orangeburg. The John Reed referred to formerly lived in Milford. lie is dead. He served two enlistments in the Civil War and had the rank of first lieutenant. First, he was with the 48th Massachusetts regiment, and later with the 57th Massachusetts regiment. He had an excellent war record. His only known living relative is Lawrence Reed, who, for a number of years, was mayor of Wohurn.

THINKS < tH NTIKS SIIOIM) ASSIST. Columbia I liable to Finance Soldiers' Reunion. States Mayor. Columbia, July 17. ? Special: If the Red Shirt reunion, to he held here August 0-10, simultaneously with the reunion of tin- South Car olina division. United Confederate Veterans, is to be successful as its promoters hope it will be, some such supplemental mode of financing the Convention as the raising ol popular subscriptions in the several counties will have to lie resorted to in the opinion of Mayor Gibbos. At this time the city finds itself unable to undertake, unaided, the entertainment of conventions as those of the Confederate Veterans have a State appropriation of $1,500, but it is said that amount will not be adequate for the proper entertainment of the division and more funds, perhaps as nnii-li il mm ill i... ?? .? vided, somehow. There is no State aid for the Red Shirts. The mayor's idea is that inasmuch as neither of the reunions is a local affair, both being in fact of State-wide interest, the burden of financing these gatherings should be distributed over the whole State, rather than be imposed upon the one local community of Columbia; "more especially," the major points out, "because it was in fact Columbia, as the Capital of the State, which suffered most, materially and otherwise, from the War Between the Sections and the troubles of the Reconstruction era." Mayor Gibbs says that Columbia, however, is not for that reason disposed to stand back or withhold any evidence of hospitality. "The issue, " he says, is one of means, not of will." Found (bit His Man. A Southerner who was visiting in St. Fouls wandered into the dining room of the hotel, and seeing a negro servant who had all the importance of an army officer stand- ? ing near the door, asked him who the "head-nigger" was around there. The negro stretched himself up to his full height and pompuously replied that "there ain't no niggers in St. Fouis, sab. We is all gem'men of color." "Well," said the Southerner, drawing out a $100 bill from his ?? ?vrl > I * ? - , ii, i iui be at this hotel for some time and want to make sure that I will be taken care of." "Oh, Sah," said the negro whose eyes were popping from his head, did you want to know who the head 'nigger waiter' is? That's me." Statue Came to Life. John Anderson, of Roseland, was walking in Michigan avenue, in Chicago at daylight when a stranger accosted him with: "Say, what do they mean by having another rider on the horse at the Logan monument?" Anderson expressed douht. -"They walked over to the statue and there, sure enough, Anderson saw another figure perched on the bronze horse behind the figure of General Ijogan. He walked up to make more detailed investigation. As he did so the figure jumped from the horse and landed on top of Anderson. Both men overpowered him and took $160 and his watch. They tied Anderson with his suspenders to the tail of the bronze horse and escaped. SCHOFIELD ENGINES BOILERS "Have Stood the Test of TEme" ?
