We'll have a real holiday." They did and in so doing they placed "dad" upon a high pedes tal, not as "the old man," but as father, the head of the house, king for a day.

He was then drawn up under the drive wheel, between it and the con crete floor and It was In that position that he was discovered by Wess Maple the butter maker. Hearing an unusual noise Maple looked around from another part of the plant to see the big drive wheel grinding against the face and chest of the prostrate man and apparently crushing his life out. Maple at tempted to pull him out from under the wheel but could not do it with the machinery In motion so he shut off the power as quickly as possible. Unconscious and bleeding at the nose. Harper was rushed to the hos pital where two physicians began working over him. In addition to the blow on the side and back of the bend, his right ear was nearly torn off, his left ear was cut and the en tire front of his face was badly bruised. One arm wns also bruised but no bones were broken. By the time the doctors had dress ed his wounds he was beginning to re gain consciousness and It Is now be lieved that he will recover. This mnkes the second life that Maple has saved In the same plant within two weeks. About ten days ago. Loren Harris, an employ of the plant, wns enught by a set screw while attempting to put on the belt for the pump. The butter maker cut him loose from the shafting with a large butcher knife, leaving him al most as Innocent of clothing as a new born babe. That he escaped with bis life Is due to the miraculous man ner In which his legs flew around, knocking n belt off the pulley. The two accidents happened within a few feet of each other. The conditions existing In the ma chinery of the local plant reflect somewhat on the deputy factory In spector who was here a few weeks ago and who reported the machinery as safe.

The bill on which Bur- 1 ton s speaking is the proposition that the government, maintain reserves at the headwaters of rivers in the Ap palachian and White mountainsThe bill was recommended by McKinley, Roosevelt and then Taft. The filibustering on the measure came as a surprise to congress. When the postal savings bank bill passed in the senate without a sign of such j tactics, the leaders believed all ob- siacies in me way or an early a a Journment had been removed. The forest reserve bill was regarded as a minor matter which could be dis posed of or allowed to go over. The fight has caused a hasty conference of senate leaders. It is possible a night session will be held tonight to allow Burton to complete his remarks which he estimates will taka twenty hours. HIGH ALTITUDE WILL NOT AFFECT JEFFRIES Reno, Nev., June 23.
