Tho queer Ease Of John Sousley, o
farmer living near South Bend Ind. is
attracting much attention. Sousley fol-
lows threshing in season and quit last
September with u badly inlamed eye.
1t has puined him continually since, un-
til ono day recently when an oculist
found that q grain Of wheat had lodged
in his BYE, sprouted in it, growth had
forced a passage up between the scalp
and skull, and had found an outlet neal
the apex Of the right eye. The stalk
was carefully removed and transplsnted
in a hot-bed, whore it il expected to grow.
Souslcy is doing finely.
A lumberman ut Wytopitlock, Me-,
recently split open q hollow maple log
and found among rotten leaves twenty
six micc, all dead. There were three
species in the collection-the long-tailed
OF kangaroo mouse, the white-beliied
wood mouse and the common short-tailed
field mouse. The chopper thinks they
crowded mp into the hollow In order to
keep warm, and the hole through which
they entered having closed up. they
starved to death. Mice won't cut mice,
evidently, although civilized men have
boen known to feed ON 0ne another under
similar conditions.

There's a ,cide difference
between the help that's talked of
and the help that's guaranteed
Which do you want, when you're
buying medicine?
If you're satisfied with words, you
get them with every blood-purifier
but one. That one is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. With
that, you get a guarantee. If it
doesn't help you, you have your
money back. On this plan, q medi
cine that promises help is pretty
sure to give it.
But it's because the medicine is
different, that it's sold differently.
It's not like the sarsaparillas, which
are said to be good for the blood
in March, April, and May. At all
seasons and in all cases, it cures
permanently, as nothing else can,
all the diseases arising from tor
pid liver or from impure blood.
It's the best blood purifier, and
it's the cheapest, no matter how
many doses are offered for a dollar.
With this, you pay only for tho
good you get.
Can you ask more?

at work until Friday night when the team
must be furnished TO haul them back TO

and Vanderbilt would scarcely tempt the
average dusky cotton picker to work on
Saturday.
1t is little wonder that the Southern
planter who has seen ii at work should
hail with enthusiasm the advent Of the
successful Cotton Picker, which he has
dreamed of and classed with the flying ma
chine as something beyond the ingenuity
Of this generation, and which no evidence
would conviDce that it existed except the
sight of ii practically picking cotton in the
field
The machine is thl invention Of Angus
Campbell, born in Hamilton, Ontario. row
a resident Of Waco, Texas. He conceived
the machine seven years ago, and has pr.
sistently and constantly labored since to
develop il. until now it does its work As

results OF the use of these machines, when
reduced to figures, bewildcrs the brain.

CARS TElESCOpEO.
TRAINS CRASH TOGETHER IN THE
CITY OF HARRISBURG.
Ten Killed Outright and Twenty Seri-
ously Injured.

The collision between the first and second
sections OF the We.tcrn express on the
Pennsy lvania railroad al Dock street, iiar-
risburg, Pa, early Saturday morning, proves
to lie most terrible affair.
The first section, which was late, was
made up Of one baggage car, one express
car, three day coaches and the private car oil
George Westinghouse. The train was de
layed n little at Dock street, and a fiagman
was sent back to warn the second section.
He was soon called in, and the train had
Just started when the second section came
In sight, and almost without warning,
plunged into the train ahead.
The locomotive ploughed its way through
the rear Of the private car, but not single
member OF tue Westinghouse party was
scratched.
In the day coaches an awful carnage took
place. Many passengers were half asleep,
and were awakened by the horrible crashing
and grinding OF the timbers, the breaking OF
glass and the Kissing Of escaping steam,
willie others never knew the fate which
overlook them.
Engineer Hugh Kelly and Fireman
Harry Neal, both OF Philadelphia. sat in the
cab of the locomotive which buried itself in
the Westinghouse car. As their train
rounded the curve at Dock street they real
tZed the aW1ul Dlunuer tnat somebody nau
committed. but it was too late to avert the
catastrophe.
AS If by miracle, the cab, in which sat
the engineer and fireman, was not touched,
and they each live TO tell Of their wonderful
deliverance.
II was but few minutes until the indus
trial establishments In South Harrisburg
supplied an army Of willing men who did
all In their power to rescue the imprisoned
men, women and children, and alleviate
their suffering.
The firemen and police force, under May
or Fritcbey's direction, also did excellent
service and assisted in getting the injured to
the City Hospital as soon as possible. Ten
were killed outright and 20 were so seriously
injured that many will die.

The Horrible Experience of an Illinois
Lineman.

cidentally grasped live wire. His
name was John Mahoney, and he Is one of
the oldest employees OF the electric light COM
pany in that city. Soon couple Of hun
bred people were gathered around, but they
were powerless to help HIM. As he was
suspended 1t was feared If the power was
shut off he would drop nearly 200 feet to the
ground.
For two hours the unfortunate man re-
manned in this horrible condition, with the
Kissing wire cutting deeper and deeper into
his flesh and scalding and burning the hands
and arms. Men groancd aud women
screamed. Men finally ventured up to his
relief, but were knocked down by the pow
full current. II was not until experts from
the electric works reached the scene that
ne could be removed, when he was gently
lowered to the ground with ropes with both
hands burned through. Both of his hands
were amputated, but the strain of that terri
