A Hermit Hunter Found

Last Saturday two hunters from Clear
field who were out in the wilds of the
Alleghanies found dead man in Andy
Reeses camp on Beon's mountain. The
dead mans name was John Gilland,
and for several years he had lived alone
there in the mountain businesses with
no companion but his dog save when a
hunting party would locate at the camp
for short season. For months at a
time he never saw civilization, living
exclusively on the game and fish he
could shoot and catch.
For long time he lived in hut made
Of bark, fashioned ike an Indian tepee
He wandered over the mountain with
dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his
solitary existence. When found it was
evident that he had been dead several
days, perhaps weeks, and the gaunt and
emaciated form of his faithful dog was
by his side, almost dead from starvation.
And he would no doubt have remained
there and died by the side of his dead
master and never dreamed of deserving
his post. Dogs sometimes do things
that make US ashamed of our humanity.
The body was taken to Clearfeld and
buried on Monday. 1t is presumed that
the man died of pneumonia or some kim
dred disease, as he had pulmonary
trouble. -Punxsutawney Spirit.

An Old Soldiers Death.

Baron Gemm1n9en, lieutenant field
marshal and inspector general Of the
Austrian cavalry, whe died at his home
in Gutleberg, Austria. two weeks ago,
had been an active soldier for almost
half a century.
When, on the afternoon Of his death,
his physician told him he had but an
hour or two more to live, the old man
sat up in bed and called to his military
attendant in the next room. The soldier
came. Bring my parade uniform"
commanded the general. The uniform
was brought. Now put it on me"
The order was obeyed, while the old SOL
der gasped heavily for breath.
"Have Fritz send in broiled chicken,
a bottle of Sec, and an imported cigar"
The order was filed, and the tray was
laid on the generals bed. He ate a
little and drank much. He lighted the
cigar He smoked it half down without
taking it from his mouth. As he re-
moved it to knock off the ashes, the end
came. He sank back with the cigar
still between his fingers, and died before
it went out.-New York Sun.

A Queer Relic.

Some years since Lieutenant Peary,
who is now somewhere in the frozen
north. had charge Of certain govern
ment works at Key West. While the
work was in progress he noticed On the
bottom Of the hsrbor, near where q
breakwater was being built, something
which shone through the water. lie IN
uuired what it was, but he was able to
get no response more satisfactory than
the assurance that It had always been
there. The boatmen of the neighbor-
hood had seen i. shining there in their
childhood, and had in turn been assured
by their fathers that it had been there
all their time.
Although the inhabitants Of that sub
tropical cline might be content to live
and die with an unsOlyed mystery a.
their very doors. it viii easily be under
stood that the temper Of Lieutenant
Peary was different. He sent divers
down to investigate and after much dit
fculty succeeded in bringing TO light a
small copper cannon of the Fifteenth cen
fury. He was able TO satisfy all the
claims Of the government to the piece
for the price of old copper and the inteE-
esting relic became his own.-Boston

He Might Well BE Placid.

The members of certain congrega-

last Sunday. The young minister's en-
gagement to certain pretty girl named
Grace in the parish had just been an

every other pretty girl had thought that
possibly she stood chance Of being the
favored one, for the young divine was,

Aristocrscy Open to Offers.

The following advertisement lately
appeared in an English newspaper:
Directors wanted of good social
standing fOf new company now in
course OF formation; qualification viii
be found for selected applicants, and re-
Enumeration viii be on liberal SCALE"
To this there were IA replies received:
One earl, one viScount, four barons,
seven baronets, one knight, thirteen
honorables, six members of parliament,
four generals, one admiral, nine colonies,
four majors, fourteen army captains,
three minor naval officers and seventy
three without rank or title. There were
some very amusing letters accompany
ing the applications. The earl said: 81

terrain my proposal, an important lever

state that if appointed l should always
make it point of driving to the general
meetings in my brougham and pair, with
servants in full livery. This, l have
been told by friends sitting on company
boards, is great factor in inspiring
shareholders with confidence"
One Of the barons wanted to know ''if
the fees were paid in advance, ire
.spective of any profits made by the COM
pany." One of the members of parlia-
ment wrote that be had no doubt that,
if he were appointed, it would result in
heavy purchases of shares in his con-
stitusncy, where he was very popular.
"And,7 he added, 'it would be well if
the bona fdes of your scheme were as
sured, at any rate, on the surface" The
last part of the sentence would seem to
rather give the yirtuous legislator away,
as he evidently did not care whether the
scheme was good or not.-Financial

Speech Restored by Electricity.


The recovery of speech by Mary Hop
kins. mute inmate of the Wayne coun-
ty almshouse, after being dumb over
four years, has been pronounced mar
velous, and the cause and cure alike
have bafned physicians not acquainted
with the case and given rise TO many
wonderful stories.
Mrs. Hopkins is between forty and
fifty years of age, and was sent to the
almshouss about six years ago from
Rose Valley. About three years later
she suddenly lost speech. James w.
Robinson, the county physician, decided
that the woman was suffering from pa
ralysis of the vocal cords. He consulted
DR.. Andrew F. Sheldon, an old army
physician and surgeon, and decided to
use an electric battery. The current
was passed through the back of the neck
and mouth every day. After about one
months electric treatment the matron
was much surprised upon entering the
mutes room one morning to be greeted
by loud Hello" from Mrs Hopkins.
