PITTsBURG, PA, July l2.-The
starve-as,you-please race of DR.. Tan
ner against time has called up a remi.
niscence from Washington county; in
this state, which is well authenti-
Gated.
In Paris, Washington county, in
1910, a young man named Thos. Ford,
aged twenty three years, lived without
food or water for thirty-nine days.
Ford was taken ill and was unable to
swallow either solids or liquids; all tie
physicians in the country were unable
to afford even the slightest result. The
young man continued in the same con-
dition for thirty-nine days, suffering
all the pangs of hunger and thirst.
On the evening of the thirty ninth
day he took his sisters hand in his
and remarked that she would not have
to watch with him much longer.
When she inquired whether he felt
worse, he answered that he felt no
worse than he had for several days
past, but that no mar had ever tasted
for days but our Savior, and no man
ever would. He died that evening,
leaving a request that there be a post.
norton held Tor the benefit of science,
as he did not want others to suffer as
he had done, The examination was
made, and the physicians found the
entrance to the stomach closed up
completely by a fungus growth, and
that it would have been impossible to
relieve him by an operation.

Thy roots enwrap the eldest dead
Thy boughs Of green wave overhead.

The works thatall the years have wrough
In thy calm presence are as naught.
The keenest vision cannot trace
One sign OF change upon thy face;
shudder in thy cold embrace.

What has been and what is to be,
There comes no answer back TO me.
The ages that have through thee rolled
Some tables or some truths have told,
But thou art calm and still and cold.
A child stand upon the shore;
hear afar the pillows roar
That break and break forevermore.
No shore thy. ever laves;
No echo comes from out the caves
Wherein recede thy ceaselsss waves.
There are no burrows on thy brow
Sickles of time before the bow
Thou changeful and unfhanging Now

The loved and lost are all with thee,
Some barren years ere left TO me.
