A Fathers Efforts to Savo his Chill
0ren,
From the Boston Herald.

In Mill river, above the upper dam at
Leeds, s,on Sunday afternoon, Joseph Shearn,
Superintendent of the silk mill, was in
boat teaching his eight ycar-old boy to row,
and his little girl Of three years, who had
been sitting in the stern, disappeared. He
at once diyed into the water, and snatching
the child swan to the shore, although en-
cumbcrSo with an overcoat and rubber
boots. Arriving at the bank, he was com
PEELED at once to drop the girl, threw off ex
ira clothing, and swim after the boat,
which was drifting toward the dam. See.
ing that he was not gaining on it, he called
to two men coming down the railroad track
TO save the boy This they were able to do
by the boats drifting within reach OF the
shore. By this time the father was taken
with the cramp in tie middle of the river,
and he might have pershed but for the
timely discovery of an upright stake, to
which he clung until rescued.

An Innocent Man Hanged.
(From the Kansas CITY Times. |

A few days ago the Times published
brief telegraphic despatch from Dodge City,
Kan, announcing that band of vigilantes
had hanged two men near Fort Dodge Tor
stealing horses in Sumner county, Kansas.
Subsequent inquiries made by the grief
stricken father of one of the men hanged-a
young man named Callahan, son of preach
er in Topeka-proved beyond doubt that
Callahan was guitless of any connection
with the crime. He was engaged in gath
ering buffalo bones on the plains, and had
been hauling some from his 'dug-out" to
the railroad when one of the horse thieves
came to his place. He gave him shelter.
While he was there the vigilantes from
Sumner county came up and arrested both
parties, and Notwithstanding Calahan's pro-
testatiOns and his endeavor to show that he
lived there and had not been to Sumner
county, took him with the guilty man and
hanged him then and there. The Rev. Mr.
Callahan says that his murdered son was in
no way implicated in this crime,

they will, divide between them the world OF
this great Republic. They, with the Dem
ocratic vote behind them, and with public
sentiment in its present condition, may as
potcntly parcel out the nation as did An
tony, Octavius and Lepidus the ancient
world. With any of these three in the Pres
ilental office, and the other two in the Cab
met, they would give to Democratic ad-
ministration the advantage of great politi-
cal knowledge and experience; great weight
morally and intellectually, and an imposing
prestige. With such President as any
one Of these would make, buttressed and
supported by the others, the country would
regard with confidence the party that 1t
deems it needtul to put IN power, but
that it yet hesitatcs to trust. Honesty IN
office, reform in civil service, hard money,
social tranquility, commercial prosperity,
would be almost guaranteed by an Execu-
tive thus made up. With pledge, or any
political certainty that the two who can
not be elected would be associated with the
Executive by appointment, 1t would be
deemed of less consequence what section OF
the country was really honored by the nom
nation and the formality of the election OF
one of the number. At time when great
part of the nation wanted Mr.. Seward in
the Presidency, and another part Mr.. Lin
con-though the latter was chosen at the
polls and appointed the former-they SO
worked together, shoulder to shoulder, in
the great cause that except for the formal
tiles of the case it really was of no conse-
4uence whatever which one the people had
officially named. 1t would be the same
with three prominent and possible men ol
the Democratic party. West and South
would consent that New York should noni-
mate II they can respectively be sure thai
ther men will be associated with him. New
iork would equally consent that either OF
the other sections should nominally carry
the Convention on the same condition. Viii
there be wisdom enough in the Democratic
councils to secure result like this, or viii

That young man who had been very at

her, and an old woman of her acquaintance
advised her what to do. "Take one Of his

sent you, and put lock of your hair in it

the White Spot, and on your way up hunt

the old woman gave full description of
this mysterious bush. "Then come back
and try to remember a place where he
kissed you standing on the ground. As

lock of hair, and witch hazel right on the
spot where he stood and kissed you and let
1t remain there three days"

Obituary.

Don Audreas Pico died in this city
at 81 o'clock yesterday morning of
brain fever and Inflammation of the
bowels. He was born in San Diego
on the 30th day of November, 1870
his father being an officer in the
Spanish army, and for many years
stationed at that place. Don Andreas
spent number of his earlier years in
the City of Mexico, and when Mich
eltoreno came to California he was
commissioned by that General as an
officer in the Mexican army and ap-
pointed Abide Camp on his staff.
Gen. Pico took an active part in the
war between the MeXicans and the
United States troops in 1916 and 1917,
was in command of the Mexican
troops at the battle of San Pasqual,
and made rough work among the
Americans under Gen. Kearney. He
also concluded the treaty with Gen.
Fremont in 1917. He was identified
with every important event in the
history of this part of the country, and
no one had "a greater number of
friends, his social and genial tempera-
ment gained him the affection of ev-
cry one with whom he came in con-
tact, and no one could be more uni
versally regretted by all classes of this
community. His funeral will take
place at two o'clock this afternoon
from his late residence, No. 209 Main

Women's Streng Suit.

Heavens best gift women is the en-
dowment of a sweet voice and gentle
manners, accompanied with amiable,
retiring modesty. 1t is this that makes
them so attractive, graceful and agree
able. Herein is the secret of that Won
derful power they possess over the op-
posite sex. 1t makes the strong man
bow himself in meek submission, and
like Samson is shorn of his strength.
But strange to say where women's
rights and east winds prevail, these
attractive qualities do not flourish to
any extent. 1t may be all right for
women to lecture, vote and preach,
but these things do not subdue and
play upon the heartstrings ofthe stern
