HELD FAST IN MUD FOR
HOURS ERE AID CAME
Tide Wu Goinf Out When Man Walked Off Bridge, or He Would Have
Been Drowned.
N
EW YORK, May 11. When Mar
tin Breen. IJ yeara old. a paver,
waa discharged from Williams
burg Hospital recently be was still
wondering how It happened that his
bad luck waa not on the Job when he
walked oft the side of the Franklin
street bridge spanning Bushwtck Creek,
at North Thirteenth etreet. Williams
burg. Friday evening.
Anyone might have taken It for
granted that that was bad lurk, but It
wasn't. In the light of what afterward
happened and what mlgnt have hap
pened If the tide had been coming In
Inatead of going out.
"I had gone over to Williamsburg to
call on my old friend. Jim Davis." said
Breen, as he looked out of the door of
the hospital aa they made out hla dis
charge papers. "It was :30 In the
evening aa we started home, Jim walk
ing a little way with me and talking
about the Titanic dlaaater.
"Don't talk about 1C says I. It
makes me nervous. I hope I'll never
spend that length of time in cold sea
water.' Then Jim left me and I walked
on briskly alone till I got to the Franklin-street
bridge. About two-thirds of
the war over the bridge I saw an open
Ing in the slda fence of the bridge and
took It for the stairway leading down
to the lower level.
Saak Deeper fat Mad.
"When I tried to walk: down those
stairs they were not there and I turned
several . somersaults, landing In four
feet of cold water and striking so hard
that my feet went Into the mud, of the
bottom. I can swim all right and I
looked around for an iceberg, but It
wasn't there. 80 I decided to walk
ashore, but when I pulled up on leg
the other went deeper Into the mud
and the more I tried to get out the
deeper I went In, till 1 aaw It was beet
to keep still and open up the S. O. 8.'
signals.
"I stopped treading mud and yelled.
But you may have noticed that it is
medium quiet In that part of New
York after o'clock and the louder I
yelled the further and further away I
heard the footsteps of pedestrians. I
was up to my knees in mud and In
four feet of water, and as I am only
five feet nine, you can figure that my
decks were awash. So I kept still.
"I am a paver and not a seaman, and
so didn't know offhand which way the
tide was running, but by careful obser
vation I found It was running out.
After an hour the water was lower, and
o was I In the mud. Three hours and
a half after I sent out the first S. O. 8.
call the tide went out from the mud
flats and left me there, but by that
time I was up to my armpits In the
mud.
roaaclaas All (be Time.
"I did my best to remember the old
rule about how long the tide stays out
before It starts coming In, and re
frained from truggling any more. But
I kept up my calls for help. They ald
I became unconsclou. but I didn't. I
was patr.fully conscious during the
whole experience. And at regular Inter
vals, which waa every time I got my
breath. 1 yelled for help.
Finally I heard footsteps on the
bridge abo-e. and -when they were right
ovor mo. I cried for help again.
" i say, old man," some one called
over the side of the bridge, 'don't do
that cgaln. Tou gave me a regular
era turn.'
"T!p me out!' say I. 'I m stuck
In the mud.'
"'You can't Impose on me,' says he.
" 'I'm golnif under, friend,' says L
'Call the police, please,' say I.
"Just then along comes George Cur
ley, who works In the Street Cleaning
Department, and ho believed me and
sing out:
Doctor Looked Good to Him.
"Hold on till I get the police!' and I
hold on. The tide had been out an
hour and a half then It la out ix
hours, they ay. and In a little while the
police and an ambulance from the Will
iamsburg Hospital came.
"That white-coated doctor waa the
most beauttf ul-looklng thing I ever saw.
He and the policemen pulled me out,
though I vu ten yards from the shore
when I fell In. and they bundled me.
mud and all. into the ambulance. After
he had washed me up and given me a
good bed and I had slept several hours
he and another doctor came to me In
the ward Saturday morning and said:
- -We are going to thump you over,'
or words to that effect, 'to see If you
have contracted pneumonia.'
" 'Don't you worry about me,' says I.
It was Friday, but It waa my lucky
day. I ain't got no pneumonia. My bad
luck sign wasn't working."
"80 they felt me over and smiled, and
gave me more soup and things to eat,
and this morning let me sit up. I want
to get over to No. BOO East Twenty
third etreet, where I live, and put on
my good clothes, for thi Is Sunday,
and tomorrow I am going to work at
mv Job of paving."
Breen was born In County SUgo and
came to America thirty-two years ago.

FLOWER OF HORSE FLESH WILL
BE SEEN AT THE ROSE FESTIVAL
(Continued From Fae
boldly expect to outdo the Boston pa
rade In this, the very nrt effort.
"The Boton parade 1 held In the
Fall," they say, "when there is little
opportunity for decorating the equip
age, while our parade will be held In
the height of the flower season, and,
more than that, as a part of a great
floral festival. We have an Immeas
urable advantage In this one feature,
which makes It possible for u to add
to th boldness and strength of the
great draft animals, the delicacy and
gracefulness of well-conceived gar
landing of roses. The entries we have
been receiving Indicate also that there
will be no discounting the quality of
the blooded draft stock: that will ap
pear In the line of march In the work
horses' section."
The work horse division throws open
the Rose Festival to active entry on
the part of farming persons In the vi
cinity of Portland, who perhaps could
take no more active part In the Festi
val In years gone by than that of a spec
tator. The establishment of this sec
tion, with Its liberal endowment of
cash prises, cups and trophies from va
rious organizations, opens to farmers
owning fine draft horses a possibility
of becoming contributors In a substan
tial way to the success of the great
Festival and at the same time of car
rying off honors that any horseowner
on the Pacinc Coast might well strive
after.
More than $300 in cash prizes are
offered In this division, besides the tro
phies hung up by the Festival Asso
ciation and the medals offered by the
Humane Society. The trophies of
fered by the Rose Festival are silver
cups for the owners of horses whose
drivers win cash prises. Engraved di
plomas will be given to all who enter
the work horses' division of the pa-
raBoth the Hunt Club and the River
side Driving Club are working seal
ously In preparation for their share in
the pageant and every inducement will
be mad to bring their members out
with larger and more select entries
than ever before.
One of the largest single contributors
to the parade will be J. D. Farrell.
president of the O.-W. R. & N Com
pany, whose recent change of resi
dence to this city ha brought to Port
land the finest stable of prize-winning
carriage horses, saddle horses and po
nies that has ever been exhibited by
a citizen of Portland. Mr. Farrell will
enter five or six of his finest horses.
School Illvalry Is Keen.
Rivalry between the three high
schools of the city In preparation of
floral floats for the horse and vehicle
parade will also run high this year and
their competition will be keen for the
two sterling silver trophle offered by
the Festival Asociation for the best
speciaJ feature or float entered by a
school or academy. Children will take
an important part in the parade also
and entries will be In evidence as well
from all manner of fraternal orders.
Improvement societies, state organiza
tions and other associations that have
already declared their intention of en
tering the parade and have plans for
their flosta well under way.
One feature that has heretofore been
a favorite and la not likely to lose any
of It luster In the coming Festival
will be the entries from the Portland
flre department In the horse and vehi
cle parade. Great muscular. glossy
beasts, the bright metal work of the
heavy equipment which they draw,
gleaming through a half disguise of
fragrant roses It Is a spectacle that
alwavs has brought and always will
bring a thrill of admiration to those
who have an opportunity to look upon
It.
So much for the major entries In
Portland and vicinity. That is, how
ever, only a part of the story of the
horse and vehicle parade. Other states
and other cities will be better repre
sented in' the parade thl year than
ever before. This Is another manifes
tation of the manner in which the
spirit of co-opsration and "organized
optimism," exemplified in the organ
ization of the Festival Associations of
the Pacific Coast, pledged to help one
another In every possible way to make
ach festival a success. Is leavening the
whole Pacific Coast and , working to
make not only the Portland Rose Fes
tival but every other great festival
given In the West, greater than It has
ever been before.
Outside Officials Are Coming.
Mayor Rolfe, of San Francisco, has
announced that he will be In Portland
and will take part In the parade, and
the Mayors of many other cities have
announced their Intention to come and
take part If possible. It is already
thought possible that a special place in
the parade may be reserved for the
entries by the chief executives from
Important cities of the -Pacific Coast.
Officers of the Panama-Pacific Ex
position are coming by special train.
A four-in-hand tally-ho will be fur
nished them In the parade, decorated
with flowers and streamers In suitable
colors. Also the Potlatch Bugs from
Seattle and the Tigers of the Tacoma
Montomara Festo will be in the parade.
The Potlatch officers will be ac
companied by a mounted escort of Pu
get Sound citizens, and the Montomara
contingent has announced Its" Intention
of making a distinctive array of en
tries in the pageant. Floats will be
entered from the majority of the 30
cities that became members In the Fes
tival Association of the Pacific Coast
when It was organized In April, for
the Rose Festival is the first oppor
tunity that has been given them since
the organization was effected, of put
ting into practice the principles
whereby it is planned to co-operate In
celebrations and festivals until the
whole Pacific Coast shall become lit
erally the "Playground of the World"
throughout the months of the Summer.

ment as grand marshal for the horse
and vehicle parade and will select his

F. Carroll. Additional Judges will be
selected later to decide upon differ
ent points involved In making th
awards for the work-horse parade.
This, then, is a general view of the
prospects for the horse and vehicle
parade in the coming Rose Festival.
It Is not, however, nor does it pretend
to be, a complete outline of what the
parade may attain to before the data
of the opening of the Festival, for It
appears to be growing In the magni
tude of its promise and possibilities
almost every day. Dr. Drake and his
committee have the general plans well
In hand, and the details are developing
more satisfactorily than any of them
at first dreamed. J. D. Olson, Dr.
Drake's lieutenant In the field, Is
bringing in reports dally from cities
surrounding Portland, of new entries
and of the gathering of prospective
features for the parade.
"Therefore we expect, and I think we
are safe In expecting," says Dr. Drake,
"that the horse and vehicle parade
this year will have the greatest suc
cess that it has attained since the
Rose Festival has been in existence."
Keal Taste or Maple Sugar.
Country Gentleman.
There are few people outside the
maple sugar making districts who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken of is probably due In a degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten off the vine and cherries
consumed on the tree so delectable.
The writer quoted, however, puts soma
of the blame for the poor flavor of
commercial 'maple sugar on the "wily
wholesale dealpr and mlxpr."
lATMICURA'DID
FOROiFllLY
Boy's Sore Cheeks Cured by Cuti
cura Soap arid Ointment. Also
Used Them to Heal Deep Cut and
to Treat Ingrowing Toenail.
2128 Vine St., Cincinnati. Ohio. "My
little boy's cheeks began getting sore three
years ago. I tried everything I ever heard
of but nothing cured him. At last I seat for
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. After four
treatments his face began getting better and
in three weeks' treatment he was cured.
"The first of July my oldest son fell and
cut his band. The cut was very deep. At
the time I was in the country and it was
imoossible to get him to any doctor. I tied
the wrist up and put on toe Cuticura Oint
ment very thick, after that I washed it with
the Cuticura Soap and continued using the
Cuticura Ointment. Ha had no pain after
the Ointment was applied and soon was com
pletely cured of the cut with not a mark left.
"Nothing is better for ingrowing toenail
than Cuticura Ointment. For more than
eight years I suffeied with an ingrowing nail.
It almost set me wild. Two months ago I
started to use Cuticura Ointment on it. At
night I washed the foot with hot water and
Cuticura Soap, then I would apply Cuticura
Ointment on cotton and wrap the foot up.
The ointment softened the hard skin and .
it could be removed without pain. In a
week's time my foot was much better, now
It is entirely well.
"For cuts and bruise I think washing
them with Cuticura Soap and applying Cuti
cura Ointment is the best thing on earth.
For insect bites if the bite Is washed with
hot water, and Cuticura Soap, and Cuticura
Ointment applied, one will receive immediate
relief. I have tried it and know." (8igned
Mrs. Arend, Jr., Sept. 11, 1911.

world. A singieset is often sufficient. Liberal
