Across Miss Campbell's face IS a
frightful scar made by the savage little
coon. and she exhibited the dress which
she wore on the night of her frightful
encounter. The waist is torn into rib
bons, and it seems miraculous that she
escaped with her life. She has the pelt

Miss Campbell said that she ALWAYS
made it rule to hunt coon at least two
nights out of every week during the
winter months, and that the accident
which happened her last week wOuld
not cause her to deviate from the estah-
Hshed rule. Two years ago she met
with an accident while hunting
one night which came near end
ing her existence, and she related
the occurrence as calmly as if it
had been the particulars of a Sunday
school gathering. 1t was in the latter
part of Janury, and she had gone ont in
the hopes Of adding a few more pelts to
her list. The night was bitter cold. bnt
the moon shone brightly. and She
walked merrily along in the wake of
her dog. Presently coon was started.

called the dog Off and secreted herself
near by and kept lookout for the coon

might get shot at him. At last She
could stand the intense cold no longer.
but she resolved to have that coon. Her
faithful dog was again stationed at the

daughter arrived in Atlanta from
Hef1in, Ala.
The father was almost crazed and the
daughter almost dead. She could

minute would struggle for breath, saws
the Atlanta journal.
Last Friday tho little girl. Nora
Hughey, was playing with her dolls.
She secured piece of wire and out of
it made several halrpins. Each pin was
made of piece Of wire about two
inches long.
One Of these was swallowed, and 1t
stuck in her throat. In some manner
1t got into the windpipe, and moved
about from the lungs to the vocal cords.
No relief could be given her, and she
grew rapidly worse. The father de-
ternined 10 bring her to Atlanta and
have her treated.
She had eaten nothing since Friday,
and Yesterday was at the point of death.
MIR. Hughey carried her to the office
of DR.. Willis Westmoreland, and the
physician saw her condition was danger

She could not live twenty-four hours
without the pin was removed, and the
doctor at once went to work. He cut
open the windpipe and removed the
pin.
Today little Nora is almost we'll, and
her father is the happiest man in At

For two years past the village of High
land Falls, n. Y. has been the point
selected by pugilists for prize fights. he

held there this winter. one in the church
building where the late Rev. E. F. Roe
once preached. Monday night there was
another fight, at which over 100 toughs
assembled. The citizens decided to take
the case in hand. Justice Avery placed
warrants for the arrest of the principals
and others in the hands of Constable
Engleskirscher, and swore in number
of cOnStaDleS for the occasion.
EnglesklrScher became intoXi Gated,

made comfortable, and watched the
fight through without serving the pa
pers or making an arrest. Constable
Merkill endeayored to arrest the pro-
prietor of the place, but the warrant be-
ing inside the building he could not
take his man. 1t is said that a Justice
of the peace stood inside of the pavilion
and enjoyed the fight. The citizens

Many of her pupils are grown per-

but she conducts her school with
a firm hand and seldom has
an unruly scholar. At the beginning of
her present term of school there was
pupil in attendance who showed an in
clination to disobey rules and runthings
to suit his own notion. Miss Campbell
demonstrated with him, and kindly ad-
vised him that it was for his own good
that She wished him to be obedient.
The young man didn't like the idea
of being dictated TO by a woman,
and his disposition became even
more surlv. One morning he took out

ANCIENT WEATHERCOCKs.

A curious tower was built at Athens
by AndrOnicus, of octagonal form, each
side of which was faced with a repre-
sentation of the wind to which it looked.
Its spire was surmounted by copper
triton, so constructed as to PORT with a
rod, as 1t turned with each wind, to that
image which represented it.
Each side of the tower bore beneath
the architrave Greek inscription of Its
corresponding wind, with appropriate
illustrations of its attributes.

by copper equestrian statue, which
turned with every wind; beneath the
vans were emblematic figures, one of
which was a scorpion.
Mention of weathercocks occurs as
