Christopher Hawk Receives a Fatal
sunstroke While Working in the
Harvest Field.

Christopher Hawk Receives Fatal
Sunstroke While Working in the
Harvest Field.
Friday afternoon last there occurred
In Hayes township one of those sad
events which cast a gloom over aneigh-
borhood.
Chris Hawk. young man of about
twenty-four, a son of one of Hayes
well-known farmers, was working on
the farm of Samuel Page and owing to
the extreme heat became Frustrated.
He had pitched two loads of wheat
upon the wagon and complained OF
feeling bad; about o'clock he picked
up tin cup and went for drink. de
had scarcely started, when he staggered
backward and fell unconscious to the
ground. He was carried home, about
a mile, in wagon. Upon arriving
there he was still insensible. Instead
of using proper restoratives. such as
would draw the circulation to the sur
face of the body, those who attempted
tn revive him applied ice and ice water,
thinking that the correct treatment.
The result was, of course, that the
blood was driven inward upon the
heart and brain, and the young man
died at ) O'Clock.
Chris. was the second of four child
rem, one of whom, daughter, is mar
ried and lives in Detroit. One young
er brother works south of Abileue.
He was an honest, hard working boy,
well thought of by his associates, and
a great help to his father and mother.
The members of the family are River
Brethren.
The death is peculiarly sad since it
is believed that with proper measures
there was not the slightest doubt OF a
complete and immediate recovery.
The funeral services were held Sum-
day morning last at 10 o'clock at the
house.

Will Make Less Haste.

Marshal Kirkwood wrote Wednesday
to Supt. Brinkerhoff complaining of the
rapid rate at which the Union Pacific
passenger train ran through the city.
This morning he received a reply, in
which Mr.. Brinkerhof promised that
the matter would be attended to imme-
diately and the engineers ordered to
run more slowly. Abilene has stood
the nuisance about as long as it can
and the Union Pacific might as well
come to time.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and VOL
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
and many other things which ought
not 10 be, have made the American
people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American
people so healthy that they can enjoy
their meals and be happy.
Remember-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys-
peptic. Ask your druggist for bottle.

HOW sARDou WRITES HIS PLAYS.
Preparing n plot-The Principal Scene
 A Unique System-Corrections.


 A Unique System-Corrections.
 When he is preparing his plot he first determines upon his principal scene. A whole piece, no matter what it Is, says he, may be summed up in single scene, and this is to i, what perfume is to a flower This scene must be well made. It should give a resume of the idea of the play, and without it piece, no matter what may be its merits, remains incomplete and fails to introduce quarter of the eff feet that it ought. It is around this scene, sometimes around two, even three of them, that Sardou erects his scaffolding. In the case of "Georgette" he worked out two such scenes, and it took him six months to arrange them to his perfect satisfaction. Finally, when the two had been doyetailed or joined to- gether, the work of writing the play had still to be performed.
 In writing plays Sardou has a system which is probably unique with himself. He begins with his principal parsonage and writes out the whole of his or her role. In the important scenes of this character he writes out the dialogue, but the portion Of it which is not put in the mouths of leading people is not definitely given to his or that subordinate until his other part is written out in the same way. He always writes his plays twice-the first time on little slips of paper, and these he afterward copies on to foolscap. AS a rule this first draft is covered with ensures and inteTlineations to that de- gree that no one but SariOu himself can possibly make them out.
 When writing SardOu always keeps in view those who are to interpret him as well as those who are serving as his mod els. Very often the percentages of his comedies are drawn from real life. He also keeps in view the defects of pronunci- atiOn of those who are tO be in the cast. The lines written for Sara Bernhardt contain very fey words in which the let ter "b" occurs, b being cOusonant which her pretty mouth uttcrs with uch diff culty.-Paris Cor. r! aneer- Press.
