 ''Oh. papa! Pm 50 glad you've come."
 Mir. Peace threw both arms around her and held her firmly to his breast. Soon she looked up into his face and look of horror stood in her eyes.
 "Oh, my! you're not my papa" " she said, tryiAS to free herself from his embrace.

Some years ago a gentleman from White country, Illinois, was returning from New York City to his home.

STOPPING A CATTLE sTANrPEDE.
The shrewd Trick of a Cowboy.

The shrewd Trick of a Cowboy
some of the smartest things ever saw
in my travels" said a passenger from the
West to newspaper reporter, "was a
cowboy stopping a cattle stampede. A
herd Of about six or eight hundred had
got frightened at something, and broke
away peIl-men with their tails in the air
and the bulls at the head of the process
sion. But Mr.. cowboy didn't get excited
at all when he saw the herd was going for
a straight bluff. where they would GER
tainly tumble down into the CANYON and
be killed. You know that when herd
like that gets going, they can't stop, no
matter whether they rush to death or not.
Those in the rear crowd those ahead, and
away they 20. l wouldn't have given 81
head for the herd; but the cowboy
spurTed up his mustang, made little de-
tour, came right in front of the herd, cut
across their path at a right angle. and
them gallOped leisurely on to the edge of
that bluff; halted, ana looked around at
that wild mass of beef coming toward
him. He was cool as a cucumber, though
l expected to see him killed, and l was so
excited l could not speak. Well, when
the leader had got within a quarter of a
mile of him, saw them try to slack up,
though they could not do it very quick.
But the whole herd seemed to want to
stop, and when the cows and steers IN the
rear got about where the cowboy had cut
across their path l was surprised to see
them stop and commence to nibble at the
grass. Then the whole herd stopped,
wheeled, struggled back, and went to
fighting for a chance to eat where the
rear guard was. You see, that cowboy
had opened a big bag of salt he had
brought out from the ranch to give the
cattle, galloped across the herds course,
and emptied the bag. Every critter sniff
fed that line of salt, and, of course, that
was queer sight to see that man out
there on the ledge of that bluff quietly
rolling a cigarette, when it seemed as
though he'd been lying under two hum
dred tons of beef in about a minute and a

CURED By PRAYER.
A NorristOwn Lady's Recovery fr,
Consumption Excites Much Commen

A NOrristOwn Lady's Recovery from
consumption EXcites Much Comment.
Miss Justitia Ashton, of Norristown,
says the Philadelphia Record, has been
flooded with communications and letters
OF inquiry ever since the publication of
her alleged recovery from consumption by
means of prayer. These have come from
all parts of the country, asking how the
cure was effected. Miss Ashton is GER
tainly far better than she was. but IL is
claimed that she has not wholly recovered
from her affiiction. There are many theo-
rles lndulged in by those of her neighbors
who scout the idea of Divine inter-
yentiOn. Some say that her disease
could have been nothing more serious
than throat affection. They assert that
the attending physicians diagnosis was
incorrect, and that the disease could not
certainly have been consumption, while
there are many who believe that the doc.
tors treatment and medicine admins
tered were the cause of the speedy relief.
However, large number Of Miss Ash
toms friends believe that her recovery is
another illustration of faith cure, and
frequently refer to the affair to in
duce less pious people to pay
more attention to their religious wants
One lady in New York, in writing to
Miss Ashton, states that she is also af-
tlicted with consumption, and wants to
know how much time must be spent in
praying and the manner of going about it.
There are many cOngratulatOry notes
among the communications. All urge
Miss Ashton to keep on praying ferventiy,
so that she may be entirely relieved from
the disease. The lady herself attributes
her relief to prayer.
This is the second faith cure case that
has occurred in Montgomery county
within short time. A few weeks AGO
Miss Tillie HOllowell, who lives with her
parents ON Seventh street, above Main,
Norristown, invited some church friends
to visit her bedside and pray with her. In
a few days she recovered sufficiently to 90
down stairs, after being confined to her
room fer period of five months. Her re-
cOYerY since has been ranid.

HIBERNATION OF REPTILES.

Some Facts Not Generally Known.
Charles C. Abbott, writing in Science,
asserts that the Information of reptiles
varies much according to the severity of
the winter. Many turtles take refuge in
the deep holes of ponds, and DIR. Abbott
asserts that, in the severest cold weather,
he has caught swapping turtles, the musk
turtle and the box mud turtle in deep
holes and about large springs that dis
charge their waters ON level ground AS
nsh nave been found partly eaten when
taken In nets in mid-Winter DIR. Abbott
concludes that the snapper takes an occa-
siOnal meal. AT the same time he does
not deny that the species found active
IN winter hibernate under certain condi-
tions, and that the other species of turtles
hibernate. Snakes which live in water do
not sleep so deep winter sleep as do the
black snake and others which frequent
the uplands. The true water snake Tr0pi-
donotuS Stped0n) may often be found in
winter foot or two beneath the sand of
any sprlng-hole, and is not slow to swim
OIL when thus disturbed. This species
and the common garter snake are the first
to appear in the spring. The upland
snakes may be literally broken into pieces
without giving evidence of life, so
u5hiy pOlpiu are Lueys 1OadS ana
tree frogs, terrestrial and arbOreal ami
mails, are more sensitive to cold than the
water-llYing frogs and salamanders.
Frogs at the commencement of winter re-
treat to the bottoms of ponds and deep
bitches; salamanders to the mud at the
bottom of springs. All the kinds of frogs
and three species of salamanders have
been found in hOgshead sunk in the
ground to collect the waters of a spring.
They were sluggish, but not actually hi
bernating.

The FataIist's Terrible TEST

The world is full of fatalists, says the
San Francisco Nel0s Letter. Its an easy
and comfortable belief. I have been told
a peculiar anecdote on the subject. At a
frontier postthe officers mess was engaged
in an ardent discussion. Wine had been
freely partaken of, and, with one of nv
strange caprices ofintoxication, there was
philosophy at the bottom of the glasses.
The Mahommedan religion was the sub
Ject OF argument. Mussulmans believe in
fate. For them mans destiny is written
above, the time of his death is set. and
nothing can advance it. Every one had
something TO advance or relate in pro or
con argument. In answer to one of the
officers who demanded to know of what
use and to what purpose was rea-
son and its controlling power if
we were born with the tag of
our destiny attached, another-a new
conner r-arose and said: "Gentlemen.
what is the use of discussion? Make a
practical test of the question. Take me
as the subject: Can man wilfully dis
pose of his life, or is the fatal moment
chosen by higher power? Try the ques-
tion tor me. Who will conduct the ex-
perimentp No one answered. Then some
one proposed wager. "Done," was the
answer. The subject drew a pistol.
showed that it was loaded, and held it to
his temple. "Twenty dollars, / belieyeY ?
Who will pay if / lose." He pulled the
trigger, and the pistol missed fire. "a
joke" cried the crowd. The fatalist
smiled. lie recOcked the pistol. and with
a steady hand aimed at a clock on the
wall. He fired, and the bullet went right
through the centre Of the dial. HApologize
now," said he; 81 have won the bef,
always did believe in fate.v
