4 A MURDER IN THE AIR (N’pw York World T Thero is a man liviiiK tpday who has gono through thr whole thrilling, horror-filled experience of killing a man In the clouds. The marks of grief and woe on his face and his shattered nerves tell the whole story. Robert F. Scanlon was known through the Middle West as one of the mof>t daring and even foolhardy aeronauts and parachute jumpers in all the country. Rarely was a day too windy’6r a district too dangerous for him to make his ascension no rording to contract and on time. Then in a day, in an hour, it was all changed. It was during Fair Week at Ca hokia. 111. I’eople from all the sur rounding country and towns had come in on the last day of the week to make merry when Scanlon was hilled to make a balloon ascension and ^parachute leap. Ho himself superintended the fill ing of the balloon with hot air ami coal gas by throwing li-ht wood ami coal oil on the lire in the furnace a few yards from the balloon. The gas was sent into the canvass hag through a tunnel and a pipe, the mouth of the balloon over the open lug The gas hag began to expand, pnfling up In little lerks almost like began to life its head off the ground the heating of a great heart. As it the people parked In closer and shout ed out in excitement. Around the balloon like a fringe were rows of of bags of sand to weight it down, and in addition, men from tlm crowd were pressed in to cling to the guy —ropes that -UiadaHt,, imij.si,l>le.Jiillrc -oL gas might be got ip before it should he released for its shoot up into I lie air. The Itnllnon is Inflated. Slowly the balloon rose until its tall brushed the ground bearing it self for a flight like some great crea ture of the air. Scanlon in his tIcI t- and spangles had to keep running from one side of the balloon to the other and then out to (tie furnace to give orders to his assistants. It was hard work and the delay of a second meant that something might go wrong and that the asension might be a failure. Little by little he or dered the men standing around the ballon, their arms upstrutched hold ing (lie guy lines,to slack their ropes As the great bag tuged the men would he lifted off their feet, the balloon rolling from side to side as thougn drunk Stretched out on the ground was the parachute fastened to the bag of the balloon so that when the balloon shot up It would he swinging directly under it, fastened only by one rope. risen above the tops of the trees and the two men over the heads of the people. "Let go or you will be killed, ’ cried Scanion, squirming in the man's grasp and kicking as best he could. Hut the man held on grimly without answering a word. The horror of it all flashed through Scanlon's mind and made him fight now resolutely. Here he was sitting on a brass rod twenty feet under the balloon, tiding a baloon built for only ir,0 pounds, pins the weight of I lie parachute, and lie himself was over weight by ten pounds The man clinging to his arms must weigh at -least IT't -pounds. To make the asci nt this way would lie absolute folly. So he redoubled his ciler ies toward kicking off the unwelcome passenger. Letting go of one hand tie clung to one swinging, bending rope and with the free hand tried to tear apart the man's fingers kicking him madly on the thighs with his heels. "Drop, drop, you can make it yet.'' ailed out Scanion, almost out of hreat h. Hut the man paid no heed, holding on as grimly as death itself. Catch ing hold of one of the man's hands Scanlon tore it away. The man freed his hand again and fastened it in an other place. Surging hack and forth, Scanion tried to wriggle oiil of (he man's grasp, the combined weight sending a wave clear up to tho hat loon like a quick jerk travelling along a ropc^ lire;,thing with quick In takes of breath, partly from exhaus 'ion and partly from the effect of the liquor, the man clung to Scanion without speaking a word. One idea was firmly fixed in his mind, and that was that he must hold on tight, and with the grip and determination of drowning man he carried out his idea. Working his hand up the mans hack Scanion got it against Hie man’s face by a quick surge and pushed madly and Mindly, but the man bur led tils face in Hie other side of Scanlon's Iwick and the short ad vantage was gone. Rapidly but with stately dignity the balloon rose Into the air each second adding to tho distance that one of tloni must fall Scanlon's hands sank deep into the bur ropes and they came down almost to the level of the bar, his head was pulled hack until he could see nothing hut Hie drooping skirts of the parachute and the bulging sides of the balloon over him Squirming and kicking, lie struggled till his-breath w-as al most spent, fighting against time. A SENSIBLE TALK TO THE YOUNG WOMAN WHO KISSES. A cord led up to a knife so that when .knowing that each moment the bai A wk the aeronaut wanted to descend he would but have to jerk the cord, cut ting the rope and float down to earth and safety. I'nder the parachute toe trapeze bar was hanging, a bright brass rod on which Scanion was to hang and go through his gymnastUs while being wafted to the clouds. As the hag straightened up it be gan to tug so that tho farmers and townspeople swinging on it for 1 last lu gan to grow afraid and .'oxlous to release tin ir hold "Hey, M ac," he called in Vs ns Blatant, "throw in another chunk’" Mac knew what that meant, amt on the fire tosseil a small bucket ot coal oil. A blaze of fire leaped through the tunnel and the brRion tore itself out of the hands of n.e ballast men. The balloon wobb e<> up. A muttering shout ran around the crowd for the tension was n its blight, and a man from their mld.d was about to he whisked Inio tin heavens. Women threw up their hands and shouted out words of warning. "Hold on tight." called out an old man leaning on a gnarled cane for .. H tl tel eaini "Oil, l know he will he killed,' sobbed a woman, turning away her eyes. “Let Go, or Von Will be Killed!'' Rut all this was met with at every performance and scried in no way to unstring Scanlon's nerves. AH ids mind and energies were bent on clearing the buildings and treetops “Let her go. hoys,” tie called out over the exclamations of the people and the cracking of i he fire. Cut loose." Running back Scanion picked, up the brass trapeze rod ami seated himself on it, one hand on each rope. Then as the balloon slipped up into the air he ran forward under it. the long-folded parachute tugging him gently, thus saving himself from tir ing dratrtred trver the grmmrt. Thor- had not been a hitch, TITe~w eat In r was perfect, he was gcTTYfilT'a goon start. The ascent seemed no differ ent from a dozen -others he had made. Rut there is where Iho risk of a ,'balloou jumper comes in. lie never knows what moment something will happen. Suddenly a drunken man burst through the crowd and 1 threw his arms around Scanion, He was a big muscular man, and in his dazed eyes was the look of an intoxicated man who cares not the least what happens. Scanion had to grasp the ropes on the ends of the har to be kept from being pulled off backward. The parachute har was just being lifted off the ground, and Scanion had no way to fight hack except by kicking. “Let loose, let loose,’’ he yelled frantically, but the man only tight ened his grip and buried his face in Scanlon's spangles, afraid to look down. For a moment the crowd stood too horrified to move, then several of tho men coming to themselves rushed out and sprang wildly at the drunken man's dangling feet. But they missed and In* second more the baloon had loon was getting higher and higher Fin a ] 1 v, twisting bis bead around, Scanion saws that they were fully five hundred feet high and that a drop meant instant death He could see the crowd standing almost as he had left it, scarcely making a sound, all faces tense and set. silent watehi'is of the struggle for life in mid air. \ Single ( ham e of Escape. Suddenly the man gave a lunge and Hung one arm mcr the Par. then in spite of all Scanion could do lie swung Pack and icoked a knee o' , r it, like an acroP.at in a show. Scanion looked down into the man's face It was wrinkled into lines of fear and determination. His eves were wide opi n and staring, hut n'raid to look down There was noi Hie slightest sittn of drunkenness about tile face, the terrible struggle had completely cleared his mind Scanion could see that Hie man was possessed of Put one idea and that was to hold madly to the swinging liar. His whole strength and tiis whole mind were set In carrying this As Scanion looked down at the nja_n__he_ t uj.fi.fill.. cry possible I ha tire to escape To drop meant destruction The parachute was Puilt to carry only on. man. I’ossiMy one of them might go down in the parachute ami Hie other ride the balloon doy\n by wailing till the night air chilled the gas. It was a straw, but worth seizing “All right it's too late for you to drop off now." said Scanion gruitly “Swing yourself up on this har. The man looked mi at him mofi like a wild an! ma I than a li u m a n le Ing, like a dog trying to understand iust what his master means. So firmly fixed in his mind was the idea that he must cling ho tho bar that he could not comprehend what Scanion meant."' "Climb up. damn you’" growled Scanlon. “We’ve got to sti k it o'ut together ” The light of understanding broke into Hie man's eyes, and with rigid Trembling muscles he drew himself up on the"bar and wound his arid around Hie supporting rope. The two sat crowded shoulder to shoul der facing, with scarcely enough room to move. "Don't hurt me, whined the man. speaking for the first time. "Shut uii and don't shako The bal loon. snapped Scanion. The man kept tiis eves on Scanlon, afraid to look toward the earth. "Is it very very far'’" "You'll think so going down:" Scanion shot, b-yk. The Fight for Life. The man whimpered and shrank the rope without looking down. “What are you going to do about it?"' demanded Scanion, taking Hus chance to punish the intruder. The 'danger now did not seem so immi nent. and so Scanlon was bound To impress on the man what he had done. The man d and shrank away from thelp^TOTiaut. The fight was gone out of 'hltn; he dreaded the upbraiding more than the kicking. "What made you do it?” demand ed Scanion.

"Dorothy Dix" writes a great many things that tend to elevate and make girls purer and sweeter. She says two young men recently wrote her a letter in which they asked her to settle a dispute that has arisen be tween them. Here is her answer: The point at issue is whether a girl who kisses a young man, to whom she is not engaged to he mar ried, displays thereby an affectionate disposition or not. A contends that she does, and asserts that he would not marry any woman who did not like to kiss, while B takes the oppo site position on the subject. As far as my opinion is concerned, I should say that any girl who kisses a man to whom she is not betrothed and the wedding day set—shows that she has an exceedingly affection ate temperament. Entirely too af fectionate. Dangerously affectionate. It likewise shows that she is utterly lacking in maidenly modesty and del icacy. And it indicates that she is a great many kinds of a fool. If I were a man, I would no more pick out for a wife the girl that would let any man with whom she had a casual acquaintance kiss her than I would go to a florist shop ana buy the battered, bruised, over blown roses that had had their freshness rubbed off by too much handling. Ttie girl and Hie roue with the bloom cm them for mine, nverv time. This is also the opinion of most men. It takes a man of very undis criminating taste to really rare for a girl whose lips are free to every Torfi', Dick and Harry who conies along. Of course, as long as a wo man is young and good looking and has a tfice red mouth pouted to a Cupid's bow, every man will kiss her who can; but such kisses only make him have a contempt for the girl, and ready to believe any evil he may hoar of her. That kind of a girl is not the sort of a woman that a fastidious man wants to marry. His wife must hav<- kept her lips as austerely pure as Hioee of a saint; for every man, in love is a monopolist, and his eternal creed is that his lady love shall he fire to him, and ice to every other man. A slight ripping sounded over tM ir heads. Scanion became el i trifled, hut to the unwelcome passenger it meant nothing. Scanion glanced uu His worst fears were confirmed. One of the ropes fastening on I he sides of the balloon and supporting the parachute had ripped down a few Inches and the gas and smoke w>Te pouring out The bar rocked hues and forth again and the rent en larged In a moment it might tear larger and Hie two would go rocking swift Iy dow n ward. The only chance for safety was for one of them to go in the parachute and self-preservation is the first law of nature. "Don't rook the balloon," shouted Scanlon fiercely, although tho man was sitting quietly enough The man -aid nothing. "Why don't \ou look down 0 " demanded Scanion w ith all the ti* n ■- ness that fighting for one s own life brings up in one Tho man watched Scanion hum dv a moment and then turned his eyes down. Wrapping his legs together. Seanion lung'd at the man and tore madly at his fingers gripped around the rope and the end of the har. si lently tho two fought, their breaths comings quii k and fast, their nails bringing great gashes on each other'* hands. The bar and the parachute rocked to the struggle, but that alone | U.>kLUo.'„.sU>ry of the struggle s to the itrds Finally Scanion got the man's fingers loose from the rope, and in one surge of strength pushed him off PRESIDENT BARRETT TELLS OF ITS GOOD WORK. Says They Have Made Federal Con- Kress Sit I p and Take Notice—Sit uation Changed. "That the power of the farmer, long held in cold sortage, has been brought forth,” and made its effect felt on congress, is Hie sta'emci.t made by President Charles S. Bar rett, of the Farmers’ National union, In a letter issued to the members oi the organization. The letter follows In full: To the officers and members of the Farmers' Rnion: Your national and state officials who have been work ing in Washington this winter in be half of the Farmers' Cnion have found that, congress is growing more resironslve to the demands of the American fanner than at any time in Its history. That we have not written demands of the farmers' Cnion into loHsla- tion is due, not to lack of influence, hut to the congestion inevitable with a short session and the demoraliza tion consequent upon pending polit ical changes. So far its a parcels post is con cerned, I am convinced that tha' measure. In a national and not a ru ral sense, is nearer than tiny of >ur members, or than, say, of the polHi- cians, imagine. The lobby against the parcels post has shot its bolt It lias exhaust' d its ammutation. If an extra session is called, congress will in ali prob- abllitv enact a general parcels post If there is no extra session, the chances tire strong that a gem ral unreels post will lie authorized at tin regular session next l)eee.n'>er. If you w ill dig up the !• tiers I published last winter ft. m emigres.- men. you will find that in m :irl\ every instance they gave non-eom- mital replies to the question regard ing a parcels post.

Fascinat'd, Scanion could not keep his eves off the whirling body SO squarely under him was it that hut for tlie turnings i' did not seem to tie moving. It seemed to lie resting in pace. As it got farther away it ceas ed to struggle, falling like a dead mass A sparrowhawk darted to ward it curiously, then turned away Then tire body struck the ground in a smalt pasture lot. The sound wIili h travels upward more eastlx came to him with sickening clearness, it seemed as though he was only a few feet away. Rut look as he might, Scanion could not see where the body had struck. It seemed to have buried itself in t lie ground His courage almost gone. Scanion pulled the rope that severed the par achute front the lialoon and dropped to file ground. When the people came running up he was so weak that he ouid scarcely stand alone. That ev ening he was arrested, and later stood trial for the man's death, but was acquitted on the ground of self- defense. Rut it was Scanion's last ascension.. He is now afraid as death of a bal loon, and will scarcely look at a fly ing machine in the air. His nerves are completely gone, and as he talks he keeps moving his hands aimlessly around over his lap and knees. He makes his living during the summer in small towns and during the win ter in vaudeville by doing high div ing. "It’s the nights that make me mis erable, he said, buttoning and unbut toning his coat. "I can stand the daytime pretty well, for there’s peo ple around then. But the nights!
