NARROW EsoAPE.-Our little friend
IIennison had cause recently to thank
somebody that he was not Ms largo as
some OF his acquairtances. He is work
ing with others on the Buckeye ditch and
stopping at the upper camp. One day
last week, just after dinner, when all but
" ennlson had lett the house, n snow slide
came down the mountain taking away
Inc baeksmithshop and about half the
mouse. He sprang to the door but was
thrown TO the floor, the door over him
una resting on the do0r-sill. Rocks from
'ne chimney, lumber and snow piled over
MN, tho weight of which would have
crushed a large man in his place. His
companions, who were only a short dis
lance away, heard the slide and returned
ana dug him out, only slightly bruised.
~ was certainly lucky escape for him.

on Buckeye Ridge and three on Bolts

reliable medicine for tho purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which is far
preferable to mineral sedatives and pow
