I,ife was before her land possessing a deep moral and reQecItive nature she Indentified herself with 'the Sabath School and Missionary -work connected with the Friends' meeting of South Eighth street. The roost solemn hour of human experience is not death, but life, when the Divine Spirit breaks upon the soul with no uncertain light. God spoke and she listened and with this spiritual renewal she was led to unite with the First Presbyterian church where she enjoyed its services and Christian fellowship the remainder of her days. A certain; interest clusters about her change from the church and Sabbath school of her early life, where she had formed strong friendship among the older and younger members, for a new church home. . Looking back upon it through .the light of experience, she at no time regretted the change. "Then again she at once took part in Sabbat School, where she inculcated a reverance for the Scriptures and a lively Interest in the niinastry of the church. She held; "It is not enough to believe what you maintain. You must maintain what you believe and maintain it because you believe it." For the past few years she felt increasingly the dullness of hearing, that rendered it difficult for her to enjoy Mhe services of the church or the con

versation of her friends. Her lively interest In the best literature never Hagged, she often times contributing papers on assigned subjects and joining in the discussion of the Aftermath, of which society she was one of t earliest members, and from which she received loving sympathy during her recent illness. For the past two years, too feeble to go about among her friends she continued to enjoy the best of the old master with perservering Interest. There was the same high courage, the came unfaltering trust, the same franknms and cheerfulness to the last.. "I am not afraid to die. God is an impartial judge. I feel my sins are jell forgiven," she said. If we could push after the gates of life, And stand within, and all God's workings tee, We could interpret all this doubt and strife.

ed in a fire today which destroyed

Dr. P. H. Welch s home at 60S isortn

State street, in the heart of a district

filled by millionaires residences and directly across the street from the mansion occupied by Archbishop Quigley, of the Catholic Diocese of Chicago. The injured: Mrs. C. M. Cooke,' 67 years old, mother-in-law of Dr. Welch, internally hurt, dying. Fireman William Duffy, skull fractured, dying. . Fireman William O'Brien, Internally injured, serious. Robert Hall, 12 years old, spectator, struck by falling ladder, serious. The fire started in the basement, spread so rapidly that the members of the family, ' all on the third floor at the time, were unable to escape. After ordering their nurse to lock his children in the room at which they were at play, that they might not be suffocated by smoke in attempting to reach the street, Dr. Welch retreated to the roof, whence he directed the work of rescue by the firemen. The family was carried to the ground in safety with the exception of Mrs. Cooke who, with fireman Duffy, who was carrying her to the ground, were thrown from a falling ladder and fell two stories to the pavement. The same ladder struck young Hall. O'Brien fell from a window from the sill of which he was directing a hose upon the flames. After the fire it was discovered that Dr. Welch's five year old son, Thomas

was so badly frightened that he had fled from the scene of the fire. He has not yet been found but is believed to have taken refuge with friends. Dr. Welch was barely prevented from rushing back into the flames after his wife who had already een' saved. The fire threatened for a time to spread to other houses in the neighborhood and there was a panic among the millionaire residents of the section. The loss on the Welch home is about $75,000.

The Cot and the Fascination o Thi Aerial Sport. I have often been asked how ballooning compared with other sports both in cost and in enjoyment. The first cost to those who wish to soar above the clouds is smaller than in automobiling, but each ascension costs some $300. A flight may last less than an hour or it may continue the better part of a day. The tendency is toward flights of longer duration, as invention helps the aeronaut, and with the multiplication of its devotees, particularly among the amateurs, the records will become longer both in hours and miles. When one leaves the earth the impressions come so fast that one can hardly differentiate them. They produce a kaleidoscopic effect. A man must stop and concentrate his mind on certain special sensations, or else on returning to earth he will find that he ha no sensation in particular to tell about. There is the impression of the crowd of people shouting and waving their hands. Before you realize it they have vanished as', individuals. The earth sinks f.om you, the houses become tiny boxes, and large rivers appear brooks that you could easily jump across. The lakes are poels, ajid marsh land seems solid. This latter was the cause of my friend Noequet's landing where he did and sacrificing his life. Forests become smooth like pasttre land. Railroad trains are like crawling worms, and all the earth sounds eventually cease. At 1,000 or 2,000 feet you pass the dust line, which is as clearly marked as the line between water and air. As high as 2.000 feet there are still frequently seen butterflies, mosquitoes and other insects. Remarkably beautiful effects of clouds are seen from the balloon, especially when the sun shines on them. They often seem like snow

Furthermore, he was extremely corpulent and felt the hot weather painfully. He was once delivering a course of lectures at a summer school In a small city of the middle west.

ROUND SIX Gans blocked various jabs by Herman and peppered the latters face and body with rights and lefts at close range. Both men very cool, but Gan's face wore a determined look. Herman was on the aggressive and received a right hook to jaw that sent his head back a foot "Cover and fall in," came the injunction from Herman's seconds, and as Gans atlong range drove his right again and again to the Kid's face.
