No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough or cold resulting
perhaps from triaing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcroRAL has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

A PLANT allied to the Glies-of-the
valley, the Convallaria polygonatum, is
a remarkable traveller. Every year q
knot forms upon its root, and these
knots drag the plant about an inch an
nually from its original position, so
that in period of twenty years the
plant will have travelled about twenty
inches from its first location.

Her Giiild's Picture.

In a secluded village in Brittany

peasant woman, known as lie Veuve
Yvonne." she happened one day to
hear some Of her ncighbors speaking of
the wonderful powers of photography
"Wonderful indeed!' she exclaimed.

WHIP POOR WILL.

The sun is sinking to his rest

The river wanders toward the sea,
The weary bees drone drowsily;
When, swiftly as the falling star,
A clear voice soundeth from affair."

A field, with harvest sheaves a CLEAN,
Tall willows, dropping to the stream,
A farm house with its messy sheds,
A garden from whose spicy beds
A savory odor, rising, floats,
And mingles with those mournful notes
Whip-poor-will, whip.poor-
The cloud ships in the western sky
With close reeted sails at anchor lie
Upon sea whose tlnts of gold
And purple hues lie fold on fold,
And with the dewdrop's gentle fall
There echoes still that plaintive call
Whip poor-wilI, whip poor
One pale star trembles in the east,
A long guest at gorgeous feast,
Whose brilliant colors slowly fade
AS drops the nighttime's somber shade,
And clear and soft the distant lends
The voice that with the twilight blends
Whip-poor-will, whip-poorwill.
All through the darkness and the dew
Until the day begins anew,
The katydids and nightjars lone
Will sing their weary monotone
But only through the dusky trail
OF evening comes that tender wall
Whip poor-will, whip-poor will.

THE OLDEST MAN.
He Is said TO be l27 Years Old
and Remembers the RevOlu-

When old dad" Freeman was bur

time ago, says Detroit (Mich.) letter
to the New York Herald, it was be-
lieved that the oldest man in the world
hal been laid to rest. "Dad" was 1872
years old, as conclusively proved be
fore his death, and left 1873 descend
ants. Since Freeman was buried some
relic hunters have brought forward u
man whose authentic record fixes his
age at the remarkable figure of l27
years. The proof furnished leaves no
room for doubt. The name of this man
is Andrew Lucas. He is the father of
Mr.. P. a. Lucas, who for nine years
past has kept a barber shop in Detroit.
Mr.. Lucas was born a slave under the
father of General Jackson, he of "eter-
nal' fame. and was grown man when
the General succeeded to the paternal
estate. He remembers the Revolution.
airy War distinctly and recalls many
very interesting incidents Of the second
war between this country and Great
Britain. He declares that it is as dis
tinct to him as yesterday when Geuer-
al jackson went to New Orleans dur
ing that very memorable struggle,
when he accompanied the General as
his body servant. He describes the
cotton bales piled up as a temporary
fertilization.
Soon after this, at a time when the
General was away, Lucas was whipped
for some reason and ran away. He re-
members very we'll why he was whipped
but does not give the reason. He work.
ed his way slowly north and crossed
into Canada at Black Rock, on the Nj
agara River. Andrew Kirby, then
customs collector at Fort Erie, shelter
ed him and helped him to cross into
the Kings domain. Lucas found en-
ployment in the family Of Gen. Brook,
who was killed in the war Of 1912 at
Queenstown heights. Next he ran on
the Niagara river, under Captain John
Clnch, tor whom he worked nine years,
and was then discharged by his en-
ployer because the latter considered
him too old to be useful. Lucas was
then sixty-two years old.
Lucas soon found employment again,
this time at Kingston, Ont, where he
married his second wife. His slave wife
had borne him seven children. His
second and free wife had bore him sew
euteen. One daughter by this union is
now living at East Saginaw, Mich
Her name is Mrs. Williams, and she is
seventy.one years old. Fifty years ago
Lucas removed to Brantford, Ont
There he got work from the father Of
Judge Stevenson of Cayuga. The
Judge, though now an old man him
self, remembers Lucas as man about
seventy years old when he, as boy,
was going to school.
For twenty-njne years Lucas was a
driver for the express company at
Brantford and resigned The place ten
years ago for the reason that he was
getting along in years and felt the need
of rest He was the frame of once

HEBRON, Neb., June 1S.-Eli Owens the
rapist was lynched at three a. m. yesterday
morning by crowd of fifteen masked men
from Alexandria, who broke down the cell
door with sledge hammer, threw a rope
around the prisoners neck and dragged him
to wagon. His cries for help were heard
throughout the town, but were unheeded
for some time. Judge c. l.. Richards and
w. ID. Galbrich attempted to rescue the
prisoner, but Tevolvers were placed
to their heads and they were told
If they called for aid they would die. The
prisoner was then dragged out. He re-
sisted strenuously and fought like tiger,
and with knife of some kind he cut one
of his assailants on the hand or wrist.
Two other prisoners confined in the Jail on

had was the appearance of masked man
at the outside window of the cell occupied
by them. A gun was thrust through the
bars and its owner, in gruff voice, said:
~ want Eli Owens" He was answered
that Owens was not in that cell.
They say Owens seemed to realize
from the first that he was wanted.
The wretched man was conveyed to place
about four miles east of Hebron. The
sheriff followed the crowd post haste, but
through some mistake took the wrong road.
1t was some time before the track of the
lynchers could be discovered. A trail was
struck, however, and in about one hours
time from starting the body was discovered
swaying to and fro in the cool morning
breeze on tree The lynchers' work was
done, and Owens paid The penalty
with his life. The body was still
warm when the sheriff cut it down.
Several bruises were OH the
body, showing the prisoner had been mall
treated by the crowd before he was hung.
Eli Owens went to the residence of f.
Church, near Alexandria, where Ida Grim,
his siXteen-year-Old sister.in-law was EN-
ployed as domestic, ami invited the girl to
go riding. She accepted the invitation,
and, as her story goes, the couple rode to a
place about two miles west of Alexandria,
where he made an assault on her.
