A BRAVE HEARTED MOTHER
Mrs. Scranton, with her husband and
children, resided on farm in Manitoba,
1870 miles north of the boundary line.
Early in July her husband was taken
sick, and after briefil'ness died, leav-
ing his vile and family and unharvest-
ed crops to get along as best she might
without money. To pay the expenses
Of the funeral Mrs. Scranton secured
an advance on The growing crops, and
when she had paid the last tribute to
her dead husband had nearly $50 in
cash. With this sum she procured a
few necessaries, and selecting camp
outfit from her household furniture, set
out with her children to traverse two
hundred miles OF wilderness, hoping,
with what money she had left, to buy
passage by way Of the Northern Pacific
Raay Ra:l~ay and great LAKES for herself
and children 20 Youngstown, KY.
The little party were eighteen days
on foot, camping out at night and sub
sisSing wholly on berries and the pro-
dues of the boys hunting forages. Oc-
casionally they received assistance from
settlers, and meeting a large stage load
Of passengers on their way north, re-
ceived a paper sack filled with crack
ers and a purse of eight dollars cash.
They reached the railroad In good
health, and, at reduced rates Of fare by
rail and steamer, arrived at Detroit
last Saturday, with S58 in hand and in
excellent spirits.-PO't8vjHe (Pena.)

nEArH ~ Ex.PREsIpENT THIERs.


France is in mourning, and well she
may be. Her greatest statesman and
most illustrious patriot, ex-President
Thiers, the leader of the Republican
party IS dead. He died suddenly of
appoplexy on Monday afternoon. The
venerable ex-President was in his 81st
year, having been born at Marseilles
onthe 18th Of April, 1897. His father
was a blacksmith, and his mother the
daughter of a merchant. He was ed
ucated by relatives at the Imperial ly-
ceum Of Marseilles for the bar. Having
taken his degree as an advocate he re-
moved to Paris to seek his fortune. As
a lawyer he was unsuccessful, and for
several years he lived in obscurity and
poverty, and it was not until he entered
the field of journalism that he met with
success. Here, however, his talents
found their proper field and he speedi-
ly attained eminence and fortune. His
H'story Of Ghe Consulate and the En-
pire" IS one Of the greatest historical
works Of the age. Entesing into poll
tics be was chosen President Of the
Council, during the reign of Louis
Philippe and was also foreign minister
Ia the revolution of 1848 he sided with
the republicans and was banished after
the re-establishment Of the empire in
1851. After a short residence abroad
he was permitted to return and was
elected member Of the Chamber Of
Deputies. On the overthrow of the
Empire and establishment of the Re
public, after the close of the war be-
tween France and Germany, he was
made President Of France, butsoon re-
signed, and was succeeded by Marshall
MacMahon. He was the candidate Of
the Republican party for reelection tc
the Presidency, in case of the resigna-
ton of M. MacMahon, and his death
at the time of so important crisis as
now agitates France is looked upon as
q great national calimity.

DEATH OF THE FOUNDER OF THE
ADAMS ExPREss.-Alvin Adams, the
founder Of The Adams Express Com
pauy, died at his residence in Water
town, Mass, on Saturday, in the seven
ty-third year of hisJ. In Boston, in
1910, he opened q express office in
connection with y B. Burke, whom
he had induced to join in the venture.
All the local and suburban business
was done on foot, and the success Of
the new firm was SO limited that Mr..
Burke retired disguised at the end Of
six months. The entire express busi-
ness in Boston at the time Mr.. Adams
began was transacted by Harnden q
Co., and the former seized the oppor-
tunity offered by their absorption in
foreign operations to open an office in
New York and to otherwise push his
fortunes. His energy and afability
began to tell, and his business rapidly
increased until agencies were estab-
lished throughout the country. In
1854 Mr.. Adams retired from business
the possesser of great wealth, but he
remained a stockholder in the compa-
ny until his death.

Two VETERANS OF THE WAR OF
1812.-Among the young men who
rallied TO the defence Of Baltimore in
1914, were Jacob Camp and David
Martln. Camp was 5erg cant and MAR
tin was a private. They belonged to
the same company, and Camp, being
some three years the elder, iook much
interest in his young comrade. Their
intimacy did not cease wish their mill
tary service. Camp removed TO Cam
bria county, Pa, and Marsin remained
in Baltimore. Although they CORES
ponded occasionally they did not see
each other for sky years. Mr.. Mar
tin, although an oc.ogenarian, is still
a lively, active man, and is a clerk in
the furnishing store of Sisco Brothers,
Charles street. Last week it occurred
to him to take little vacation and
pay d visit to his old friend and com
rade-in-arms, Jacob Camp, who now
resides at Shippensville, Cambria CO.,
Pa. The villagers heard that he was
coming, and when he go. off the train
dozen or more of them gathered
around him and escorted him 10 Mr..
Camps house. The two old men en-
braced and wept. Three score years
had passed since they had bid each
other good bye, but the fosts that had
whitened their locks had let the foun-
tains Of affection full and fresh as
when they were boys. The two aged
men talked over the scenes and Incl
dents of Sky years ago for four days
and then Mr.. Martin came home and
resumed his place at his desk.-Bati

On Friday morning Lock Haven
was thrown into an excitement over
the mysterious disappearance Of E. L.
Packer, young law student. The of
fee occupied by the missing man was
found in greae disorder; and, as every
thing pointed to a severe struggle and
consequent murder, the good citizens
of Lock Haven dragged the river and
searched high and low for Packers
body. On Saturday morning this gen
tleman appeared in the flesh in Will
Transport, and narrated how he came
to disappear. He was writing, so he
said, in the office, about twelve o'clock
on Thursday night, when tramp came
in, stunned him with blow on the
head, and took his watch and pocket
book. As soon as he came to, Packer
followed the tramp in hot haste. The
latter took to the railroad, and still the
chase continued. All night long the
two men kept running along the tracks
of the railroad until a small station,
about twenty miles distant from Lock
Haven and four from Williamsport
was reached. Here the pursuer caught
I'D to the pursued, and, after recaptur-
ing his watch suffered his captive 10 go
free. Tired and bare-headed, Mr..
Packer reached Williamsport, where
he took the train for home At Lock
Haven he found that his pocket-book,
minus $50 it had contained, had been
picked up on the street. The paper
that publishes that remarkable tale,
adds: "The report of Mr.. Packer be-
ing drunk does great injustice to him,
as he is not drinking man.
