Just Wait Until T. R. Sees This!

A party of skaters were once progressing at considerable speed' down a certain frozen river in Canada when, to the horror of his companions, one of the party was seen to skate straight into a hole in the ice. Before he could stop himself he had fallen through it, and the sharp edge of the ice cut his head clean off his shoulders. The speed at which he was going, however, caused his head to skim along the top of the ice, while the rest of his body traveled at an equal speed beneath it, until, by a stroke of good luck, the severed portions met at another hole farther down, and joined so exactly that the unfortunate man came out of his accident with nothing worse than a severe cold.— Strand Magazine. 1
