A Terrible Experience aHA q Wende4 ful Fs-
cape


miraculous escape from terrible death is
recorded IS having recently taken place At L-&y-
enworth, Kansas, A man named Sorbeigh was
engaged in digging 8 we'll, and when just about
finishing his work the wall fell in upon him al
most completely filling up the hole, and crush
ing the unfortunate man down into the shallow
water. His voice could be heard calling 10 the
most supphcating tones for help, and a. soon as
it was AscertAined that the man was not killed
hundreds Of men set to work to clear out the de-
bris. vindlAss was put in position and as
coon ss one man tired smother jumped to fill his
place. Darkness hindered the progress OF the
work somewhat, but Lanterns we're supplied and
the work OF eXcayAting went on until the end OF
six hours, when the bu ckst in which he went
down vss struck. and underneath this was Nor
beigh. The bucket WAS raised and Norbeigh
was found jammed into sitting posture, and
wedged up against one eide of the wall by large
hesyy stones. which pressed heavily upon him.
He was in good heart however. and ssii he was
Eot badly injured His rescuers had him un-
covered nearly to the shoulders, when they dis
covered that half Of the Wall which they failed
to take down vas showing indications Of cAvng
in. Still they worked to e1triclte the man. hat
before they had succeeded the wall fell and
again buried him His voice could still be heard
CRYING for help. and the excitement about the
place, where the entire city was gathered was
intense After remaining eighteen honrs be-
meath the debris he was again reached. When
the earth and stone we're taken from his head he
seemed unconscious Of the fact thst be had pass
ed the night teloN the earth. and Asked Whist
time it was. After his removal from the we'll
he talked quite freely, though an examination OF
the body revealed the fact that circulation OF the
blood in the lower extremtles had almost wholly
stoned.

Through forests old and gray;
But its song seems strangely dreary.

Well may song he low

Your fragrant lips my waters
In kisses soft and sweet
30 lovers who have fingered
Full many tiHe with me,
To talk your foo b nonsense
With lovers harmony,
But yet a little longer
May your servant be?
Fer know you not, the hour
Comes near when winters king
Shall freeze my lips 10 silence
With icy covering?
And shall die in sOrrnw,
Crushed meath his cold, white wing
And slowly, yet more slowly,
The brook goes Oh its way
Through nodding ferns and grasses
And through the forests gray;
And its song IS yet more plaintiye,
More feeble with each day.
