© RECOGNIZED AN’ 0LD FRIEHB" ! countrymun Vlnltlnq in cuy Had No Fear of Being' Harmed by ! “Thrashing Machine.” - An elderly countryman stood on a! Broadway curb with more fear in *his heart than he had ever experienced in | his home county and more .than his son had experienced in Argonne forest. To-him the cressing of that.crowded street. was truly the “great adventure.”{ I the middle of it were two lines of tracks, up ‘and down’ which hurtled, great “tanks” of street cars—jugger- . nauts, seemingly intended for the sole purpose of ‘crushing his_aged limbs _should be ‘venture into thelr path. On elther side of them were’endless | lines of chugging trucks, with an oc- casional _horse-drawn ' vehicle, and’ dodging “in and about were touring cars and autos of all kinds. Now and then the sharp whlstle of a trafic policeman would spell sutet\ i to the acrobatic and Initiated, who dashed across the street, skillfully dodging traffic, which turned the cor-| ner in a way no one but an old New Yorker can understand, and even he cannot_explain, i Finally there rumbled down the| street a steam roller used in asphalt| pavement work, belching clouds of smoke but attracting no attention. The | old countryman was electrified. Reso-| lutely he deserted his shore of safety| and plunged across” lhe street in ‘ts very path. i “Huh,” he grunted as he reached the other side. “That's one thing I ain't| afraid ‘of. They used to scare horses when I was a kid ; used to make a man out of the thrashing crew walk ahead of them. I know they won't hurt you, | but. I don’t know what these other.L things will do. Never expected to see| a thrashing engine here, but you never \can téll.

T *What is the charge against this man?”’ asked the caliph, with a sympa- {thatlc gleam in his benevolent eye. ! “Your honor,” said the attendant, “it ppears that he attempted to start la prlute drive of his own for his fam- | l ? ‘A-private drive! Why, this Is trea- nnb e. Who is he?” ’ “He‘{s just a consumer, your honor; ' ,jnn a.private citizen, a man who ap-; |parently belongs to the iniddle class, . iat the head of a large family. Upon | | being questioned, he told the inspector, with a loud and unseemly laugh, that ! for many moons he had been asked to contribute to everything—all kinds of rellefs, governments, etc., and with | all' this-burden'-he- was-forced to-pay {-7 25 ceénts a pound for sugar, $60 a maonth for a cook, $100 for a suit, and other things in proportion. And so, your honor, ewith, a mad laugh, he' started a private drive of his own, an- nounding that-if nn)body in America needed. relief, it was he.” The caliph shook his head sadly, for he was not an unkind man. “poor wretch,” He sald. “Do not confine Kim too rigorously, Feed bim on. nourishing things, LeLp his feet warm, and try to nurse his reason back.

France's younger gcpernuon has been encouraged to use air locomo- tion by an old lady of eighty- three, says a Paris correspondent of ‘the Y.ondon Times. She is Mme. Hemery, a charwoman, who lives in the coun< try, where airplanes pass every day. It was in 1878 when she first left the ground, when she- tasted the delights of ballooning, and, seeing, as she did, the new airbird daily above:her, she could mot resist trying the new sen-| sation. Thus one day she had saved sufficient money from her meager | earnings and took a trip in the air. | She did this without the knowledge | of her many grandchildren, who were completely shocked when ‘the news 'reached them. She is in no way per- turbed and is determined as soon as \fimdl allow to try looping the loop.
