A TRAMP,S REVENGE.
Two Little Girls Saved from n Terrible
Death by n YOunG Farmer

A letter from Erie, Pa, says: Mr.
Dallas Crawford, of Wesleyville, recent
~ drove a gang of tramps from his
premises. One of them lurked around
several DAYS waiting for revenge. The
other day he saw Crawford's two little
daughters enter the mill, on the upper
floor of which a play-room had been
partitioned off for them. Following, he
fastened the door while they were play
ing with their toys, and then, descending
to the basement. he piled heaps of in
fammable material at several points and
set them on fire. Soon the lower portion
of the mill was envelOped III flames.
Ingress and egress were alike cut off,
and the girls seemed doomed TO die the
most agOnizing of deaths. They crawled
through a hole upon the roof, but were
afraid TO lump, as the distance was 81
feet and the ground thickIy dotted with
Jagged boulders. No ladders were avail
able, nor could they be used even if at
hand.
The father and other spectators turned
away sickened, momentarily expecting
to see the rafters yield and the children
disappear into the roaring flames.
A deliverer appeared in the person OF
Alfred K. BOnnell, young farmer, car
rying a coil of rope, to which he fastened
a strong iron hook. Hastily strappln9
climbing irons to his legs he assembled a
tall oak tree near the mill, and in a mo-
ment stood on limb high over the
children. The yOund man threw his
rope. and so precise was the aim that
the hook caught in the smaller girls
dress. Drawing the cord hand Ovel
| hand she swung clear and was lowered
! safely into her fathers AIMS.
The crowd watched Bonnell with in
tense interest as he cast his hook q
second time. His arm and eye were
true. and the remaining girl hung sus-
pended in the air, her clothing catching
I fire a. she left the Pcri!O1s place, but
she was saved.
When Bonnell regained the earth he
sank down Overpowered by intense ex-
citement and was carried away not q
second too soon for the safety of himself
! and friends. The boiler, surrounded by
a mass of glowing Goals, exploded, and
! the detonation was heard for miles.
Fragments of iron plates, red-hOt ma
| chimes and flaming timbers were hurled
hundreds of feet. though fortunately not
a man was injured by the terrible
| shower.
! The incendiary tramp fled from the
scene of his terrible deed on a stolen
horse and escaped the vengeance of the
| furious farmers.

A Son of a Real King.

The Rev. William J. Barnett, pastor
of Shiloh Baptist Church (colored),
Williamsport, Pa, is the son Of Il once
powerful African king, Dumba by name.
He early came to the conclusion that 4
trusty trade is Il valuable adjunct tC
royalty, and so he became a river and
coast pilot ut Sierra Leone, and while
thus engaged was converted to Chris
tianity and baptised in he Atlantic
Ocean. Then he was kidnapped and
was being brought to New Orleans as Il
slave, when he cOntrived to escape at
Liverpool. From there he went to
California, and then back to LIVERPOOL.
On his second visit to England, Lord
Carney became interested in him, and
had him well educated. In 1862 he
visited New York and Philadelphia, and
was sent to Sierra Leone as a Baptist
missionary. Returning to this country
after year, he became pastorsuccessive-
ly of churches in Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
New York, aud New Haven. After the
war he went to Richmond and founded
n strong church on Navy Hill, the site
Of the old slave market. After that he
preached at Greenbriar, White Sulphur
Springs, Lexington, Staunton, Char
lottesville, GordonsvilIe, North Danville,
and Louisa Court House. In all these
Nirginian towns he built up strong and
prosperous churches. He has been in
Wilhamsport three years, and has en-
joyed remarkable success. He is only
fOrty-three years of age.

original charter of the colony, granted by
William and Mary. We see many quaint

day old, 1905, has an elaborate epitaph,
setting forth the belief of the sOrrOwing
parents that "this infant would rise at

of eternal life" Another, 1855, attracts
attention from being marked by huge

the occupant from getting up. This is

which did not prevent the mourning

possibly to propitiate the spirit of the
witch should it ever get out from under |
the boulder.
Close by, upon a great rock, stands
the Old Jail. Two hundred years, they !
say, has it brayed the storms of the New |
England coast. An old crone occupies |
a few rooms i'll the building, and for
fee of fifteen cents for two persons shows
1t to visitors. We see the deep, dark
dungeon with double Oabcn doors at
least foot in thickness, where without
a ray Of light or any ventilation, except
when twice each day the narrow iron
barred window was opened to pass in
food, the murderer was confined, and
there must he often have expiated his
crime IN this life. An iron ring in the
floor tells its own story. Above, with
the luxury of fre-places and windows,
heavily barred, it is true, the debtors
languish out the weary days. All the
doors are Of heavy oak, clamped with
iron, and the bolts so massive that only
a strong man could move them. The
visitor Is especially desired to notice the
great stack of chimneys in the centre of
the building.

on shore, but when 1t touched with

described as having had Chuckchie
clothing on, and as a big man, but cloth
ing all torn. I am led to premise under

these mementos that they may be per-

it, and a small brass button of naval de- |
vice. The relics were objects Of con- |
siderable interest at the Navy Depart |

"Iou will please take this gentleman
all through the ship and see that he
searches every nook and corner where it
Is possible to hide silk. If he refuses to
accompany you, let me know"
1he search was continued in the en-

after two hours was concluded in the

4 REAL NICE GIRL.
One of Glass Seldom seen and Never For-
gotten.

The Washington Capital gives us
the following as its ideal of a real nice
girl Il saw a girl come into the street
car the other day, though who had, I
was ready TO bet, made her own dress,
and how nice she did look. She was
one of those lean, trim girls you see now
and then. She was about IS years old,
and to begin with, looked well-fed,
healthy and strong. She looked as
though she had a good sensible mother
at home. Her face and neck and ears
and her hair were clean-absOlutely
clean. How seldom you see that. There
was no powder, no paint on the smooth,
rounded cheek or firm, dimpled chin
none on the moist red lips; none on the
shell-tinted, but not too small ears; none
on the handsomely set neck-rather
broad behind, perhaps, but running
mighty prettily up into the tightly
corded hair. And the hair! It was of
light chestnut brown and glistened
with specks of gold as the sun shone on
1t, and there was not a smear of oil or
pomatum on it, and not pin to be seen
in it.
As the girl came in and took her seat
around the car from a well-Opened gray
eye, bright with the inimitable light OF
"gOOd condition, such as you see in
some handsome young athletes who are
Gin training" There were no tags and
ends, fringes, fr1rbelows or futtering
ribbons about her closely fitting but
easy suit of tweed, and, as she drew of
one glove to look in her purse for q
small coin for fare, I noticed that the
gloves were not new, but neither were
they old; they were simply well kept,
like the owner and their owners hand,
which was a solid hand, with plenty OF
muscles between the tendOns and with
strong but supple fingers. It would
have looked equally pretty fashioning q
pie in home kitchen or folding q band
age III hospital. It was a hand that
suggested at the same time wOmanliness
| and work, and I was sorry when it found
a five cent piece and had been reglOved.
One foot was thrust out a little upon the
Stats Of the car fiOOr-a foot in good
walking boot that might have FLASHED
| through rainstOrm without the fear OF
| damp stOckings-and an eminently sen
slble boot on two and One-half foot
with high instep, a small round heel
and pretty broad thread.
The girl was picture from head tC
foot as she sat erect, disdaining the sup.
port of the back of the seat, but devoid
of all appearance of stiffness. Perhaps
| the whole outfit to be seen from hat tC
boots, did not cost $40; but [ have seen
plenty of outfits costing more than tel
times or even twenty times that. which
did not look one-tenth or even one.
