Avy woman he, Jere sought to try OVER A PRECIPIGE Climax to the Reckless Ride of a Fearless Horseman. HIS WILD LEAP IN THE DARK: ft Carried Horse and Rider Past the Edge of a Sheer Cliff to a Fall of Two Hundred and Fifty Feet to the Rocks and Water Below, Yet the Man Lived. Perhaps the: most extraordinary fall that a human being ever survived is that described by Thormanby in his | "Sporting Stories." The lucky man | was 'Colonel Willlam Yorke Moore, a British officer, who rode Wis horse in the dark over a sheer precipice 247 feet In height and came out alive! It seems incredible that such a fearful experience should result in anything but instant death, yet here are the facts, which once again confirm the adage that truth is more wonderful than fietion: Colonel Moore, who commanded the troops at Dominica, lost his way one evening after sunset. In complete darkness he endeavored to make his way home. Two or three times he had difficulty in making his horse cross obstacles, and at last they came to something that the horse would not face, Colonel Moore was a fearless rider. Again and again he rode his horse at fall speed against the unknown obsta- cle, but In vain. At last, urged fierce- ly by whip and spur, the terrified ani- mal, with a snort of terror, cleared the low hedge--for such the obstruction proved to be--and went over the cliff. Colonel Moore says that during his flight on horseback through the air every event of his whole life seemed to pass in a luminous panorama be- fore bim. Suddenly there came a ter- rific concnssion, which deprived him of his senses and left him with his legs in the sea and his body on the rocks, apparently dead. He must have lain there stunned for some hours, for when at last the lap- ping water and the cool breezes restor- ed him the moon was shining brightly in midheaven, and its beams fell upon the upturned, glittering shoes of his gallant horse, which lay dead and mangled beside him. As soon"as he had collected his scat- tered wits Colonel Moore coolly began to exdmine himself to ascertain what injuries he had sustained. He found that he was severely cut about the body and head, that his right ankle was dislocated and that his back was benumbed or paralyzed by the concus- sion of his fall. When the sun rose it shone upon his bare, bleeding head with such intol- erable heat that, as a protection from its mays, he tied his cotton handker- chief 'about his forehead. Above his head projected the two ends of the knotted bandage stained crimson with his blood. After lying in horrible pain for sev- eral hours he spied a boatful of na- tives rowing toward the spot where he lay. As they came near he hailed them in a faint voice, but the mo- ment they saw the ghastly figure of the colonei, with his bloody headdress, they set up a yell and rowed away as if 20,000 fiends were after them. After some time a single black man came clambéring over the rocks, in- tent on catching fish. He was within a few yards of the colonel when the latter hailed him. The moment the ne- gro caught sight of the bleeding head and the blood stained bandage be, too, uttered a fearful yell, flung down his rod and line and scrambled off over the rocks as fast as his feet and hands would carry him. The colunel now began to resign him- self to the prospect of a lingering death, but fortunately bis English servant, alarmod at his master's abs sence, went in search of him and, fol- lowing the horse's tracks, at last came to the edge of the precipice. The sudden disappearance of the hoof prints near the low hedge fence convinced him that an accident had bappened. He ran to the barracks and got out a boat, which a party of sol diers rowed to the foot of the cliff. Very tenderly and carefully the sol diers lifted the colonel into the boat aud brought him back to the barracks. For some months be lay in great pain | and danger, but in time the paralyzed muscles of his back recovered. and eventually he was restored to complete health. 'Not even the slightest touch of lameness retained to remind him of his fall. Use Chioride of Lime. Next to corfostve sublimate the most effective germ destroyer and deodoriz- er is chloride of ime.

Recreation of the Pesple the Southern Republic. The soft, sweet music of a Mexican band rose and fell with soothing and luring, cadences, such thrilling, sob- bing passionate music as one hears only in the southland. And around the band, the promenaders, with their fiesta wir and gay throwing of confetti. sUroups of pretty senoritas flitting % about like moths in the pale moonlight followed by the admiring glances of the young men. And beyond---the crush. of the crowds and glare of the gambling tents. It is the closing fea- ture of a Mexiean flesta. The Mexicans have many holidays and celebrate them with the happiness and abandon of ehildren. No thought of the morrow, the morrow that must find many of 'them with scarcely the With simple tastes they enjoy their Pleasures and know not the wor: ries of a day that has not dawned. Inside, the click of the roulette wheel, the rankling, shouting, hilarious dice-shakers calling for bets and then droning off the winning mumbers, the stolid dealers at the monte table and the watchful expectant keepers of the poker tables. All around, the cosmo- politan erowd---Chinese, Russians, In: dians, Norwegians, a few English, Mexicans of every elass--all making ithe din and buzz above the music that fascinates and holds the onlooker. The smoking lamps show the watchful faces of old women, men of all ages, children and young girls, intent upon the game, crushed about the tables. Here and there in the corners of the big tent are poker games. A dozen rough men gathered around eaeh table, intent on the cards and ready for any- thing. Gaunt, burned cowboys, men of the mining cam and dark-skinned bandana-necked eran, their tall 'hats and picturesque 'dress lending color to the seene, At a long table in the centre, where the crowd is thickest, the monte is playing--monte! the Mexicans delight, the gambling game of the nation. all 'classes rub shoulders, the rough rurales, the town boys, the humble soldier, the governor's staff and government men. All are brothers in the game of monte, Occupying a central position is the bar, with as many strons as the gamb- 'ling tables. exican's drinks are many in one ah, but seldom does one find the people boisterious. As a people, they drink artistically. Al ways polite and respectful is the tone of a public place in Mexico. At a far end of the tent tables are set and the everready tamale, en- chilada and hot choeolate of Mexico are served; here and there a champagne table proclaiming the winnings of some layer, Nearby the stringed band eeps music floating through the tent, the sweet strains that only a Mexican stringed band can play. On until sunrise when the players depart, looking forward to the next night. For every night of the fiesta must be celebrated, let the worries and troubles of everyday life be put off until--manana. Titled Medicine Men. Baron Henri de Rothschild, who wrote the play "Croesus," is a physi- eian of no inconsiderable skill, and the head of a hospital for the poor in Paris, and the fact recalls that there are even Royal personages qualified to pet as physicians. For example, Queen Amelie of Portu- gal is an M.D.--the only Royal lady holding the distinction---and the Duke Carl Theodore of Bavaria actually prac tises the medical profession in the in- terests of the poor ot Munich, and has long passed his five thousandth opera- tion for gataract. For he specializes in eye troubles, and he is was who sue- cessfully treated the Kaiser when, some twelve years ago, he was temporarily blinded by a swinging rope while eruis ing in the North Sea. The Royal duke is authorized to praec- tise as a doctor by a special decree of the German Imperial Chaneellor, and it is estimated that alreaay nea poor people have receive Tee treat- ment from him. And yet another Royal worker in the noble art of medicine is the Princess Sophie of Bavaria. ADVOIOSLALY UML UOD Vi Tiaod.
