Lindbergh has joined a choice company of solo explorers and adventurer*, because "he did it alone." Dr. David Livingstone, lleury Stan* ley, Alexander Selkirk (ltobinson Crusoe,) Capt. Joshua Slocum, Capt. Kowan,' John Colter and Sir Galahad did it alone. "AcKenturers 'on their own' have earned the world's best glory wreaths," says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "David Livingstone sleeps in Westminster Abbey because, traveling by ^himself, he revealed the geography of the dark heart of Africa. David Livingstone was lost three years to the world when Henry Stanley?alyftie, except for native carriers?cut through the Congo to reach Livingstone at Ujiji and leave supplies and medical equipment for the missionary explorer. "The solo adventurer who carried the 'message to Garcia,' like Captain Lindbergh, wore the American uniform. KIbert Hubbard told the story which thrilled and still thrills; how the young officer on the eve of the Spanish-American war took the rnes-1 sage from President McKinley. for the commander of bhe Cuban insurgents deep in the trackless forest; how he crossed to Cuba, braving capture and death as a spy if caught; how he delivered the message to Gen. Garcia, which put hope in the hearts of Cubans. "Difficulty in making a living in New England prompted Captain Joshua Blocum to embark on an adventure par excellence. Alone, he sailed t/he 'Spray' around the world. Last year Capt. Harry Pidgeon also circumnavigated the world in a still smaller boat, 'The Islander,' a yawl 34 feet long and 10 feet 9 inches on the beam. He returned to Los Angeles, his home port, after an absence of three years, 11 months and 13 days. On one leg of his voyage Capt. Pidgeon did not see a speck of land, a sail, nor the smoke plume of a steamer for 85 days. "Courage when it goes alone has ever caught men's imaginations. The early bards gave Galahad, Beowulf and St. George, the dragon slayer, no weapon bearers or assistants. More, is the credit to the traveled Gulliver, to the Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and to Jack the Giant Killer, in the opinions of enthusiastic readers, because they did their deeds without aid. 'The boy stood on the burning deck,' and the poet, who knew the public's preference for heroes, added, 'whence all but tie had fled.' "Many lone adventurers have died lonely. This has been true of trail makers in the Middle and Far West. While Daniel Boone and David Thomspn, he who mapped by himself the country between Lake Superior and the Pacific coast, made their chief expeditions with helpers, each traveled much alone. John Colter left an estate of'* $220, although he accompanied Lewis and Clarke and by himself di&c6vpred 'what is now Yellowstone Park.' < Colter's story shows one of the haz&rds of traveling alone; no one would believe- his descriptions of Yellowstone wonders because he had no partner to confirm them. "In d cemetery in Shanghai stands 1 a solitary headstone to Frank N. Meyer, plant exporer, who, by introducing new plant varieties?into the United States, did much to promote American agriculture. Altho Meyer had Chinese helpers he pursued constructive adventure without white companions and finally sacrificed his life in a Yangtze river accident. "Out in Ohina at the present time is Dr. Joseph Rock, who prefers to travel alone. His hazardous journey ' to Tibet and Yunnan have yielded among other finds,- which ^has been found to cure Ufprosy. When Tefty discovered the North Pole he li'ad Eskimos with him, but he was the only white hian to stand on top pf the earthl"Alexander Selkirk's true story proved so pathetically lonesome thai Daniel Defoe found it necessary to give him that fictional dompaiiiori Good Man Friday, when he wrote 'Robinson Crusoe.' Selkirk, the. real Crusoe, had a misunderstanding with the captain under whom he sailed and asked to be put off on^uninhabited Juan Fernandez Island near the Chilean coast. ' Here British sailori from the Duke' found him four yeari later, Ticarcely able tof' talk, surrounded by pet goats, parrots and cats. He was. dressed in the skins of goats, which ' fftf Was able to* catch by his amazing fieetness.

Mrs. Savannah Morton, Mrs\ T. H. Morton and Herman had been to Columbia to see Turner H. Morton, who is a patient at the Baptist Hospital, following an operation for appendicitis Saturday night. The elder Mrs. Morton sustained serious fracture of the right forearm, a bruiBed chest, injuries to the right hip, as yet undetermined to the exact nature, and possibly a fracture of the skull. The accident is said to have happened near Blaney, but the cause was not stated. Two young men passing in a car found the injured people at the scene of the wreck and took them to the hospital in Columbia for surgical treatment.-?Lancaster News.
