I One spring, for some reason, old
Ell was going round town with the
face of dissatisfaction, relates the Argonaut,
and, when questioned, poured
his voluble tale of woe thus: "Marse

ay, 'Ell, dis gwine ter be a hard winter,
so yo' be keerful, an' save yo*
wages fas' an' tight.' An' I b'lieve

Grevy, when President of France,
-once extricated himself from a predicament
with wonderful presence of
mind, relates the Argonaut. He was
being conducted round the salon of
an eminent artist, when he saw a
painting which displeased him.
"What a daub!" he exclaimed.
"Whose is it?" "That picture, M. le
President," said his cicerone, "is my
own work." "Ah*" said the President,
without any sltn of embarrassment
at his awkward mistake. "In
our country, wnen we particularly
f-wlsh to purchase a thing, -? always
begin by running it down," a-?d, true
to his part, he purchased the -{[ending
picture there and then.

Boy Balloonist Turns Over
And Over 2,000 Feel
HEAD SEVERED ON APPLE TREE
- ? <
Arose Four Thousand Feet?First
Parachute Opened Successfully?
Hopes Snapped on Second Drop.
New York, Special.?Benny Prinz,
a young balloonist, met a horrible
death Friday afternoon at the close
of the aviation meet at Asbury Park,
N. J. In making a double parachute
drop, the second parachute failed to
open and he fell more then 2,000
feet. As the swaying body neared the
ground, it struck the limb of an apple
three and the boy's bead was
transfixed on the limb like an apple
on a sharp stick. As it struck the
ground the headless body was crushed
into an unrecognizable mass.
Prinz was 26 years old and a dar- (
ing balloonist. With Samuel Hart1-and.
of Newark, he went up in a hot
air bolloon. At the height of 1,000
feet Hart land cut loose with one
parehute and made a successful landing.
Lightened by the drop of Hartland,
the craft shot up until it reached
about 4,000 feet. Then Prinz cut
loose. Those who saw his figure, say
he fell 500 feet before his parachute
opened. He sailed slowly earthward
for another thousand feet and then
cut loose again. There was another
terrific drop of about 500 feet when
the second parachute opened it
checked his fall for a second then
the ropes snapped ami the body of the
young man shot straight down. Over
and over the figure turned, faster and
faster and gaining momentum with
each revolution. He was shooting
down head first when he crashed into
the tree, impaling his head on a limb.
In the headless trunk every bone was
broken. Several of 'those who witnessed
the accident fainted from the
borror of the tragedy.
Senator Heyburn Stopped "Dixie."
Seattle, Wash., Special.?Senator

He created a sensation at a reception

Hianver ?rt Wallace, Idaho, "Friday

the -musicians were playing that popular
strain. Colonel Hamer had just
finished his address and 'the orchestra
had started a medley of well-known
airs.
About the sixth number in the
medley was "Dixie." The Senator
leaped to his feet, strode across to
the musicians and cried out:
"This is a Republican meeting.
We want no such turnes here."
The amazed musicians stopped immediately.
The Senator strode back
to his seat. After a moment of silence
Mayor Hanson arose and closed
the meeting.

to an appeal to the geological survey

which have caused heavy property bu
damage in tlie Virginia town The Os
theory hehl by the government geo- Sr
legist is that the trouble was caused in
by water percolating through the
limestone, which underlies the entire W
section, and thus has weakened the sh
foundations of buildings and caused w<s
them to give way. Mr. Van Horn is sti
familiar with the geological structure ar
of that portion of Virginia and from M
press reports he judges that dissol- tri
ving limestone is responsible for the
trouble.
