Hanging Only by Rope, She Tried to Pull Herself Up, but Her Strength . Wat Not Great Enough -- MaS^a •afe Landing. kansas City, Mo.--Away with the loop-the-loop for thrills. lAte the other afternoon at Swope park, several thousand spectators saw a woman literally dragged through the air by the wrists until both she and the balloon to which she hung a prisoner were mere specks in the sky. Just a short time previously Maggie Myers had given them a thrill. She and her partner in the race, W. H. Laptad, had gone up until her bright red hair, that hung about her shoul­ ders, had ceased to be a color and then at a pistol signal from her partner sho had "cut loose" and made a pretty de­ scent at Forty-second street end Woodlawn avenue. But when she went up again at 6 o'clock there was some­ thing wrong, although the crowd did not know just what. As the balloon sailed away an in­ stant after Lapstad had made a beauti­ ful start, Mrs. Myers was seen to slip. She had lost her seat In the trapexe and hung only by the wrist straps that were buckled about the trapeze rope. She tried to pull herself up, but her strength was not great enough, and the gasping crowd saw her kick and struggle. Up and up she was going. She no longer looked to be an adult, but a big doll. Lapstad's pistol rang out It was her signal to "cut loose,** but the rope that she must pull to loosen the trapeze and parachute from the bal­ loon hung out of reach. Resting from her struggles a moment, she made an­ other violent effort to pull herself up and got a foot over, but she failed. The nerve that It takes to make a balloonist vanished. She was chill Dragged Through the Wrists. with horror and she screamed, he- manly and femininely--screamed until her partner could hear her. Then, looking down, he realized why she did not make "the Jump" in the parer chute. Another man in the crowd realised full well the seriousness of the mo­ ment for Mrs. Myers. That man was F. H. Caldwell, manager of the amuse­ ment company. Caldwell had booked the pair. As the black bag drifted higher and further until both became dots to the spectators, Caldwell's mo­ tor car was chugging along in pursuit several thousand feet below. Mrs. Myers had ceased to struggle. She drifted limp and cold, her hair blown about her faee, sometimes ob­ scuring her vision. Then the bag began to lose its upward pull. Downward, as easily and gently as thistledown falls in the still air if settled and set­ tled. and soon Mrs. Myers was safe. She had been 25 minutes in the air and she landed two and one-half miles southeast of the point where she went up. Sees First Trolley; Hits It. Eugene, Ore.--A. "W.

I mocked at Postum and would have none of It. "One day my sister substituted a cup of piping hot Postum for my morn­ ing cup of coffee but did not tell me what it was.

"She kept the secret and kept giv­ ing me Postum instead of coffee .until I grew stronger, more tireless, got a better color in my sallow cheeks and a clearness to my eyes, then she told me of the health-giving, nerve- strengthening life-saver she had given me in place of my morning coffee. "From that time I became a disciple of Postum and no words can do Jus­ tice in telling the good this cereal drink did me. I will not try to tell It, for only after having used it can one be convinced of its merits." Ten days' trial shows Postum** pow­ er to rebuild what coffee baa destroy­ ed.

At a certain college custom ordains that at examination time each of the candidates shall write the following pledge at the bottom of his papers: "I hereby declare, on my honor, that I have neither given nor received as­ sistance during the examination." One student, after handing in one of the papers, suddenly remembered that in his haste he had omitted to write the oath. On the following day he sought out one of the examiners and told him that he had forgotten to put the required pledge on his pa­ per. The examiner looked at him over the top of his glasses and dryly re­ marked: "Quite unnecessary. Your paper In Itself is sufficient evidence. I've Just been correcting it!" Rhodes and Rein. Among the stories in the ducheee of Aosta's book Is one relating to the celebrated statue of Cecil Rhodes which stands In the main square of Bulawayo. The empire builder Is fig­ ured in contemplation of his achieve­ ment, with head bared. The whole district had been, griev­ ously plagued by drought for over a twelvemonth, when the natives got up a great agitation and marched in enor­ mous numbers to the square, and, thronging around the statue ,of Cecil Rhodes, insisted that it should im­ mediately be given a top hat They said that "Heaven respects this great creator of empire too much to send the needed rain while be stands there bareheaded."
