A Fool’s Practical Joke. THE TERRIBLE HALF HOUR YOUNG MR. NEWCOMBE HAD IN A BANK VAULT. [St Louis Post.] Clarence Newcomb, son of ex-Uni- led States Marshal and ex-Congr ess- man Newcomb, underwent an experi ence a few days ago which he will not soon forget. The sportive humor of a friend led to the perpetration of a joke which came near having a seri ous and fatal termination. Mr. New comb had stepped into the vault at tached to the office of Lonergan & Thiol, of the Detective Agency, where ho is interested. The vault is used for the storing away of valuable books, papers, etc. A gentleman who was in the office at the time closed the door upon Newcomb by way of a practical joke. The door closed with a snap, and Mr. Newcomb felt 'some misgiv ings as he found himself surrounded with a darkness which was almost pal pable. His fears were increased by the recollection of the fact that, except himself and Mr. Thiel, no < one was in possession of the numerical combina tion by which the safe was unlocked, and that Mr. Thiel had stepped out a * -v pening, a large and new sto «*u)6s and Trunks, \ Athens, 1 -*y filled, and all s.

It reminded him of the murmur of a brook flowing through the woods and trickling over missy stones. The ac tion of his lungs had become suddenly and strangely audible. Respiration was becoming difficult.. The regular inhalation and exhalation of his breath sounded like a bellows that was being worked with difficulty.. The labored actions of his lungs, constantly be coming harder and harder, brought to his mind the terrible question how much longer could he Live in this con-1 fined atmosphere. He calculated how rauch air was in these narrow walls, and how long it would support life. At the farthest it appeared to him that he could not live more than twenty minutes, and then he would have to breathe that terribly vi tiated air over and over again. He cried out again but stopped at the reflection that this vras a useless expenditure of the Very hydrogen on which ho must depend for life for some time to come. The silence be* gan to be broken by a raurmnr, which he could not at first under stand. The raunaur gradually in creased to a loud buzz buzz, *and then he realized that this must be caused by a rush of blood to the head; tlm effect of his continued confinement. The buzzing increased to a roaring thunder. He felt him self stagger, and then lost conscious ness. At this moment Mr. Tiel came in hurriedly, having been informed of the situation, and unlocked the safe. Mr. Newcomb had fainted, but was restored by the free use of water, mixed with some stimulants. Lucki ly no bad affects followed the experi ence, and Mr. Newcomb was coins pletely restored in a few minutes. PLANTATION WORK.
