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.

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.

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. "

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.
Commander T'ond said tonight
that he will at once get into
communication with Mayor Reed,
and acquaint him with the offer.

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

"Oh, Sah," said the negro whose

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.
