Worker Tell? of the Time When Dan O'Brien Had an Impulae to Jump and How Narrowly a Trag edy Waa Averted. you ever turn* un Impulae So ?Jump off a ateeple?" I questioned, re railing the sensation of uiuiiy people in looking down eveu from u housetop. "I've kept pretty free from tlwt," said he; "hut there's no Uouht climbing steeples does tell on a man's nerve*. Now, there wan Dhii O'Brien; he had an Impulse to Jump oft u steeple one day. and a strong Impulse, too. Ho went mad on one of the tallest spires lu Cincinnati; right at the trop of It." "Went mad?" "Yes. sir. raving mad, and 1 was by him when It happened. I forgot wheth er the church was Baptist or Presbyte rian. I?ui I know It stood on Sixth street. near Vine, and there was a big lutnd on top of the steeple, the fore tinger pointing to heaven. "We were putting fresh gilding on this hand. I was working on the thumb side and O'Brien on the little finger side, both of us .standing on tiny stagings about the size of a chair-seat, and both of us made fast to the steeple by lifelines under our arms. That's an absolute rule lu climbing steeples ? never to do the smallest thing unless you're secured by a lifeline. "It was coming on dark, and I was hurrying to get the gold leaf on, be muse we'd given the hand a fresh coat of sizing that would be dry before morning. We hadn't spoken for some time, when suddenly I heard a laugh from O'Brien's side that sent a shiver down my spine. Did you ever hear a crazy man laugh? Well, I' ever you do, you'll remember It. I looked at him, and saw by his face that some thing was wrong. "'What are you doing?' said I. "lie answered very polite and steady like, but his tone was queer. Tin try ing to figure out how long It would take" a man to get down if he went the fastest way.' "I thought I had better keep him In a good humor, so I said: 'I'll tell you what. Don, you brace up and get this gold on. and then we'll race to the ground In our saddles.' "That's a fair Idea.' said he In a shrill voice, 'but I've got a better one. We'll race down without nnv vsiu1d!?*S ; y<-s, sir. without any lines, without a blamed thing.' '"Don't be a fool. Dan. What you want to do Is to get that gold on ? quick.' I tried to speak sharp. "'No. sir: I'm going to Jump, and so are you.' "I caught his eye just then and saw ft wasn't any time to bother about gold leaf. I reached up and eased the hitch ! of my line around the hand so I c.nild 1 swing toward him. I knew if I imce j pot tny grip on him he wouldn't make any more trouble. But I'd never had j a crazy man to deal with, and I didn't realize how tricky and quick they are. While I was working around to his side and thinking he didn't notice It, lie was laying for me out of the cor ner of his eye, and the tlrst thing I knew he had me by the throat and everything was turning black. I let go of the line and dropped hack on my saddle-hoard helpless, and if it hadn't been for blind luck I guess the people down below would have got their money's worth in about a minute. But my hand struck on the toolbox as he (tressed lue back, and 1 had Just strength enough left to shut my fingers on the first tool I touched and strike at him with it. The tool happened to be a monkey-wrench, and when a man gets a clip on the head with a thing like that he's pretty apt to keep still for a while. And that's what O'Brien did. He keeled over and lay there, and I did, too, until my head got steady. Kven then I guess we'd hath have fallen if It hadn't been for the lifelines." What the Sign Says. An unusual way of asking golfers for their co-operation in keeping their course in good condition and in re fraining from umleslrable practice Is I employed by a Cincinnati golf club, J which has placed a large sign beneath | the bulletin board on the first tec of the course, according to Popular Me chanics magazine. It reads: "Treat the course as though you loved it." Kvery player is sure to see the request before starting over the links. A similar sign has been put up at the tenth hole. Aeroplanes Meet in Air. One of the most remarkable aecl. dents In the history of aviation is r?>- | ported from the cattle front. Two French flying machines, each contain ing a pilot and observer, were seen to ! meet as If attacking, "lock horns." and ( plunge downward together. For six l thousand feet they fell, performing | all manner of gyrations, wlflle the j spectators watched horrified. The ma chines finally landed In the top of a 1 tree and the fonr men were taken i down uninjured. How We Watte Wood. There are more than ^8,000 saw mills in the United States, and their output of waste in the form of saw dust. shavings, slabs and other wood refuse is estimated at 8fi.000.000 cords a year? enough to fill a bin one-half mile high with a base eoreiing a forty-acre lot. or to make a solid block more than a quarter of a mil? on each edge. ?
