TENrLEroS, Pa, Dec. 2S.-Ths mind
of John Craig became suddenly i'm
paired this afternoon hortly after he
left his home. After having walked
mile or so along the country road to-
ward Keilersburg his reasoning sud
denly left him. A large tree standing
along the road attracted his attention.
He rushed to it and ciimued to tue top
If the tree. about seventy-fivs feet IN
height. and when discovered some time
afterward all efforts Of coaxIhg him to
descend were futile. He renamed IN
this periious position until the top OF
the tree was sa we'd off and lowered to
the ground by means Of rope.
After Mr.. Cfaig's capture he said he
was trying TO get to heaven. He was
taken To the Warren asylum. IL re-
qulred the strength of ssx men TO put

Bome men have smoked such rank cs-

Tho stronger n cigar the more likely Is
it to be Of inferior quality. Lastly.
