this side of the great divide.

a NEW language is needed badly
i'll the interest of poets. Consider
these three words which ought to
rhyme all right, but wont do it:
tomb, comb, bomb. Taking "tomb'
as stat dard, "bomb" should be pro-
nounced "boom." In this connec-
tion, and with this pronunciation it
might be stated that the Cumberland
coal oil bomb has gone glimmering
through the dream of things that
were. Busted, so to speak. If it
had succeeded in beng saved in spite
OF itself the crown of Inconsistencies
which illuminates the brow of the

Boys Desperate Encounter fin a Dense PennsylvanIa Forest. WILILAMsPoRT, Pa, Aug. 14.-J. Clyde Duble is lad of fourteen years and lives with his father in this city. Just now the family are summering at Paduoohi Cottage on Pine creek. There is splendid stream up there for fishing purposes, but the ooun- try is wild and the forest dense. Young Duble delights in the piscatorial pleasures, and the other day he had an experience un- usual in the fishing line. He walked along the creek accompanied by his large Now foundland dog. Suddenly he came upon five wildcats, two old ones and three kit tens. One of the latter was hanging to the lower branches of tree. The boy, apparent ly unmindful of his danger, sprang at the kitten and with his fist he knocked it to the ground. He quickly put his bait net over it and 1t was 8 prisoner.
 By this time the parents of the kitten be- gan an attack on the boy. Duble, however, stood his ground, fighting bravely. His only weapon was his fishing rod. The dog, true to his devotion to his young master, took hand in the afray. The lad broke his rod in the encounter and with bare knuckles he dealt blow after blow. The dog kept up @ continual howl and fought ferociously.
 After several minutes of fearful suspense to the boy relief came. The people at the cottage heard the oommotion and going to scene drove the wildcats of. Young Clyde was considerably scratched and his right hand was terribly bruised and swollen. The dog was bitten in several places. Both boy and dog were nearly exhausted when the rescuing party arrived. The captured kitten is fine specimen. Young DubIe is now regarded as hero.

 PRovIDKNcE, R. l., August 14.-Some weeks ago William M. Leavitt, while riding his bicycle in the early evening on Broad street was met, run down by an express wagon driven by Patrick H. Collins. The bicycler, who is 8 oompositer on the Journal, had two fingers of one hand broken and was bruised. The bicycle was on the right of the road, and to the warning whistle of the rider Collins paid no attention, but with an oath said he would run the wheelman down if he did not get out of the way. Two other wheelmen rode after the expressmen and got his name and number, and criminal com plaint was made. Collins was trisd to-day for violating the rule of the road and fined $5 and costs in the District court. He ap- pealed, but it is not thought that he will tske his case to the higher court. Lsavitt will also proceed on Q civil suit for damages, and it is believed that the State | division of the League of American Wheel- men will back him. In to-day's trial, 1t be 1 ing the first case of it's kind brought up, the court ruled that bicycle was vehicle, thus | destroying the chief argument of the defense | for dismissal of the case.
