In the American Magazine a con­ tributor tells tho following thrilling experience, which took place in the Yosemite valley : . “ We camped on a small plateau and organized climbing parties. Starting early one morning, we climbed to Glacier point, a flat rock overlooking the valley and project­ ing about ten or twelve feet out from the top o f ,the almost perpen­ dicular wall 3,250 feet high. “ Wo reached the rock aboht noon and enjoyed the view immensely, eight of us eating our lunch on the overhanging roek, after which one o f the athletes of the party pro­ ceeded to stand on his heap near the edge". “ Following him, a clown of the Bpecies that seems to have one rep­ resentative in every gathering of human heings mimicked the stunts of his athletic predecessor, -winding up by dancing a jig on the project­ ing -rock, which is rather smooth and slopes a bit townrd the outer edge*, some one having set a staple in the center of tho stone and at­ tached to it a large iron ring as an anchor for timid tourists. “ Whether tho .man’s foot struck the ring or whether ho tripped on a pebble or bit of debris I do not know, but suddenly his right foot slipped, and down on the rook he fell, one leg dangling over the edgd o f Glacier point, 3,250 feet above the floor o f the alley, like the pen­ dulum of a largo clock, while his handB slipped over the smooth sur­ face o f the rock ever nearer -the edge, clutching for support, but finding none sufficient to save him. “ I can see the poor fellow os he strained every fiber to preserve his balance’ and prevent the drop over the cliff. As his loft foot slipped over the edge of the rock a look of anguish such as I hope never to see again spread over his face, “ It had happened so quickly that we were all paralyzed and seemed unable to move until the first per­ former, seizing the iron ring, grasp­ ed.the falling man by the wrist and held him until another o f our party reached the two and hauled the clown back on to the rock, where he sat for several minutes gasping for breath, then spoke the single word 'Sensation/ which, indeed, it was, being the most thrilling I ever experienced.” A Wig and a Tragady. It is just as well that our enthu­ siasm for oriental curiosities should be tempered-by discretion. Eastern antiquities may be picturesque, but at the same time they may have a history that, if known, would con­ sign them to the stove. Here is a story bearing upon tho point*and with its obvious moral, A young and extremely pretty girl went to a fancy dress ball ih Chineso costumo. Tho triumph of her makeup was a real oriental wig, and she wore it proudly* Some time after a strange mark appeared on her forehead, and this was treated ns a trifling skin affection. But it refused to disap­ pear. In fac^ it grew larger, and then the specialist was consulted.

Columbus, O. (Special.)— Drunk­ enness in Ohio is" on. the increase un­ der license. This Is proved by police records of wet cities and towns. In some of the larger cities, an intoxi­ cated person is not arrested unless he is utterly helpless or becomes ' a public disturber. In. most of the dry communities when a man is under the “ influence” even in a slight de­ gree, he is locked up. ' A comparison of the number of arrests in wet Ohio towns last year with the number ar­ rested in these same towns in 1915 shows the increase not only o f drunk enness, but of crime generally. 1 East Liverpool had 2353 arrests in 1916 against 2043 for 1M5. More than three-fifths of all Arrests last year were on charges o f intoxication and 247 others were arrested for dis­ orderly conduct growing out of in­ toxication; The report of the chief of police of the city of Ashtabula for 1916 shows a total of 2616 arrests for all causes. Of these,’ 2101 were charged with drunkenness. This in a monthly average of 175 drunks arrested in a city of 20,000. There were 830 more arrests for drunkenness in 1916 than in 1915. In 1914, when Ashtabula was dry, there were only 205 arrest 3 for drunkenness.. There were 1116- arrests for drunk and disorderly in Springfield in 19l'G against 979 in 1915. Add to thefee, 239 arrests" for disorderly conduct and 48 for vagrancy, and the police records point to the licensed saloons as the prolific source of practically all the crime and misery in the city. In one o f the years Springfield was. without saloons, there were 582 are rests for drur.Ic and disorderly. Of the 2580 arrests in Alliance last year, 1425 were for intoxication. This is far in excess of arrests made in previous years.- ’ While' the city of Akron is grow­ ing rapidly, arrests for. crime and drunkenness are increasing much faster than her population,' Last year the police made 10,616 arrests against 5,938' in 1915. A large pro­ portion o f these arrests are trace­ able to. the city's licensed saloons. There were '2G10 arrests in wet Steubenville last year, an increase of 1500 over 1915. All crigie Records were broken in the, city and .country. There were 13 mupders in Jefferson cqunty in 1916. In wet Youngstown fast year, all previous arrest records were eclipsed by the police department on whose blotters cases of 14,619 Culprits were written. The number in 1915 was 13,003. The number of murders broke till records. Licensed saloons were tho cause of most' of the arrests. Taxpayers foot the hills. • Kenton would have been quiet last year had it not been for her Homo Rule saloons. The police locked up 552 persons during the year and of these, 504 were arrests for drunken­ ness. In striking contrast with thpsc wet cities and towns is Findlay. Findlay has not had saloons for eight years. With a population of 18,000, her total arrests last year were 321, with only 98 arrests for drunkenness. Findlay and Alliance are about the same size. Uncle -Sam makes little difference in the population of tho two places. Last year dry Findlay had 321 arrests and wet Alliance had 2580* There were 98 arrests for drunkenness in dry Findlay and 1425 in wet Alliance.
