literally in many enterprises for the devel-
opement and prosperity Of that portion of

EnjOH Adcocate tells the following: Two
ladies living alone were preparing to re-
tire, when some one raped at the door,
and on inquiring who knocked and re-
ceIving no answer, one Of them crossed
the floor to an adjoining room, and dropp-
ed dead from sheer fright This brought
shrek from the remaining lady as she

of the two ladies, who had been mourned
for as dead for nearly three years He
stated that he intended a nice surprise for
his sisters by not making himself known
until after they had admitted him, and
judge of his grief on learning that his sur
prise had resulted in the death of one of
his much loved sisters.
