VANISHED FROM SIGHT.
Strange Action of a Boy Yesterday Near
Montour Run.

As a traveller passed over what is known
as Cokeoven Hill, along Montour run yester-
day morning, he noticed stout chunk of a
boy about 10 or Z years old pushing child's
perambulator. The boy was dressed in light
colored clothing, knee breeches and straw
hat
Near the top of the hill the boy turned
around, and seeing the traveller behind him
screamed as though possessed by a demon
and fed, leaving the perambulator to run
down the steep hill at will. In it was a sun
umbrella. The pilgrim walked on down the
road, and after rounding a bend, found the
lads hat lying in the road, and could still
hear him howling, but could not see him.
The boy was speeding toward deep hole
in the run where the road crosses a bridge,
and whether he sprang in and drowned
himself or hid in a thicket could not be
learned, as no trace could be found of him
any knowledge of any crazy boy in the
vicinity.

ONE PLEASURE CUT OFF.
One Lawyer Kicks Against His Wife Be-
coming His Typewriter.

"Having ones wife for, an amanuensis has
its advantages and its disadvantages" re-
marked a well-known attorney yesterday
who knew whereof he spoke. "a wife is
quite liable to take liberties, criticising her
husbands method of composition, or manner
of dictation, that are aggravating in
the extreme. If to be a graceful
listener is a virtue, to receive dicta-
ton gracefully is double virtue
1t is necessary in doing that to become a
machine for the time being, but an attentive
machine that does not read a newspaper or
munich an apple during the intervals. A
wife will either interrupt the dictation with
suggestions and give her opinion on the
subject or she will be aggravatingly unin-
terested in it. In either case she tries ones
1patience dreadfully.
"But more generally speaking" he said,
."there are some people who cannot take
j dfctation. They are too nervous, they can't
stand the waits between words and
sentences, and their unrest disturbs seri-
ously the one who may be debating It's
quite an art to receive dlctation properly.
The pretty typewriters have 1t down fine
they tell me. How fine 1 never will know,
fear, as they are tabooed articles in our
household
