HE ASKED FOR DONALD.
And Much to His Surprise He Got the
Answer He Sought.
Dr. Norman Macleod, the famous
Scottish divine, before visiting India,
called on an old highland woman in
Glasgow, says a writer in the Scot
tish American. "When ye gang tae
India," he said, "ye'il be seein' ma
Donal' that went awa tae India ten
years ago an' never sent the scrape of
a pen tae his mither since."
"But, Katie," said the doctor, "India
is a very big place, and how can I ex
pect to find him?"
"Oh, but ye'll Just be askin' for
Donal'. What for no?"
So, to please the old woman, he prom
ised to ask for Donald, and he con
scientiously kept his word. At various
ports he made inquiry among British
ships, although it seemed very much
like looking for a needle in a bale of
hay. But it is the unexpected that
happens. As Dr. Macleod's steamer
went up the Hugli river an outward
bound vessel passed close by. A sailor
was leaning over her bulwark, and.
moved by a sudden impulse, the doctor
touted out:
"Are you Donald Mactavish?"
To his Intense surprise the man an
swered, "Yes."
Dr. Macleod had only time to shout,
"You're to write to your mother!" as
the vessels drew apart. The result of
his amazing meeting was that the old
lady received a penitent letter from
her long neglectful son.

HIGH VELOCITY STARS.
Their Fearful Rate of Speed In Space
Is Somewhat Puzzling.
The average velocity of stars ranges
from about six kilometers, or between
three and four miles, per second for
"young" stars to «out thirty kilome
ters per second for "old" ones. But
notable exceptions occur. At Mount
Wilson solar observatory of the Car
negie institution some stars have been
found to move with velocities of 141,
150, 179, 233, 316 and even 325 kilo
meters per second, the highest speed
yet known.
These high velocity stars are some
times described as runaways because
they seem to be quite beyond the con
trol of the gravitational power of the
universe. At their speed the attrac
tion of the entire known stellar sys
tem would be wholly insufficient to
check the star's career through space.
The astronomer, Simon Newcomb,
once calculated that the maximum ve
locity attained by a body starting
with velocity zero at an infinite dis
tance and passing through a stellar
system containing 100,000,000 stars
each five times as massive as our sun
and distributed throughout a disklike
spheroid of certain extent cannot ex
ceed 40 kilometers per second. Yet the
star "Groombridge 1880" has a speed
nearly nine times this value, and the
massive star Arcturus has a speed
probably four times this value.
If existing velocities owe their mag
nitudes to the gravitation of the sys
tem the quantity of attracting matter
in the whole stellar system would
have to be at least eighty times that
assumed by the calculations of Pro
fessor Newcomb.—Baltimore Ameri
can.
Exactly.
Little Mrs. Hunter had heard so many
jokes about the brides who couldn't

How Jimmie
Kept His Horse
By F. A. MITCHEL
"Jimmie, there's nothing to eat in
the house. You've got to sell Ginger."
"Maw, I can't do it That horse and
me is like brothers."
"But we can't starve, and the horse
is all there is left"
Jim and his mother lived in a
new town on the bank of the Missis
sippi river. The population was varie
gated, excitable and believed in the
future of the town, which was called
Jones City after its founder. Jim was
fifteen years old and born with a
predisposition to horseflesh. Someone
had given him a colt, which he had
traded for a mare, and after a number
of other trades Ginger, the apple of
Jim's eye. was acquired.
Jim left his mother and went out
to the river bank, exceedingly sor
rowful. The mighty stream rolled fif
ty feet below. Jim was so disconso
late that he thought of ending bis
troubles by jumping into the water.
But it couldn't end them, because he
could swim like a duck and was sure
that when it came to drowning he
would paddle ashore.
Anyway he was opposed to the jump
without taking Ginger with him. Gin
ger would back. But be might blind
fold the horse and he would go over
4rithout knowing it. The more the
3§oy thought of the matter the stronger
grew in him a desire to take that leap
on Ginger's back—not now for sui
cidal purposes, but because it would

intention of doing so what a crowd
would collect to see the leap' Every
one in Jones City would" turn out.
There were 3.000 persons in the
town. Now. suppose every man. wo
man and child could be made to pay
50 cents to see the show. That would
be $1,500 Ginger wouldn't bring more
than $150 at most
What an idea!
Having got into Jim's head, he
couldn't get it out. It buzzed and siz
zled, but it stuck. Jim thought he
would try to ste what he could do with
Ginger blindfolded. He tied a hand
kerchief around tbe horse's eyes,
mounted him and tried to make him
go. The expeiiment for awhile fail
ed, but so great was tbe animal's con
fidence in bis master that be soon be
came reconciled to walking in the dark
while Jim guided him Tueu he would
consent to tiot slowly. And so by de
grees Jim got him to mo\ quite rapid
ly under the handkerchief.
By this time tbe idea had bloomed in
the boy's brain. The bluff from which
he thought of jumping was perpendic
ular and the water beneath it forty
feet deep. Jim considered the danger
to be that the horse in his struggle
might injure his rider. He didn't think
much of any other danger. It was en
tirely a matter of nerve.
One day Jim appeared in a pool room
and shoved a paper under the nose of
the proprietor. It contained a state
ment that Jim Hawkins proposed for
$1,000 to jump on his horse Ginger off
the bank into the river in front of the
town. The proprietor looked at Jim
as if making a mental estimate for his
coffin, then, taking up a pen, signed for
$25. Jim left the place with subscrip
tions for over $200, and before night
the whole amount had been subscribed.
It was stipulated that the money was
to be placed in the hands of Mr. Jones,

not considered probable that Jim would
come out of the stunt alive.
Tbe only person in Jones City who
did not know of the approaching enter
tainment was Jim's mother, and he had
persuaded her to visit her sister on
the day it was to take place. The ap
proach to the jumping point was roped
off to keep back the crowd on either
side, and every one had been caution
ed to do no shouting till after the leap,
lest it should cause the horse to balk.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Jim,
wearing his birthday suit and a pair
of spurs, mounted Ginger bareback,
the only equipment being a bridle. Jim
was a trifle pale, but his mouth indi
cated resolution. The handkerchief
was tied carefully over the horse's
eyes, and Jim rode him back and
forth for awhile as a preparatory
measure. Finally he took a position
about a hundred yards from the bank.
A number of persons crowded around
him to bid him goodby, and when they
were put back behind the ropes Jim,
at the signal of a pistol shot, gave
Ginger the word.
Bv the time they reached the edge
of the bank the horse was loping, and
at the right moment Jim lifted him
with the bridle and gave him the spurs.
He cleared the bank, and down, down,
down went rider and horse, Jim cling

Every man, woman and child rush
ed to the bank. There was a whirl of
waters where they struck, and after
what seemed an interminable time Jim
came up, swimming lustily. The horse

Another Point or Two About
International Harvester Engines
"^JOTE the frame of this engine. The base carries
all the working parts, yet none of them are
part of the base. Base and sub-base are separate castings,
a precaution taken to avoid unnecessary expense in case of
accident. The cylinder also is a separate casting, because a more even
thickness of cylinder wall can be obtained in this way. The frame
design places the strength where it is needed—at the boxes, where the
power is applied to the crank shaft. Provision is made for large, long,
substantial bearings, adjustable below and above, keeping the crank
shaft always in line.
This base is one of the reasons why I engines last such along
time. Nothing can get loose or out of line and there is weight enough
to absorb the vibration caused by the explosions. This is one of many
features of I engines we shall be glad to show you when you
come in to see them.
