great South American Nervine. ]
had been in bed for five months from
the effects of an exhausted Stomach,
Indigestion, Nervous prostration and

noticed sitting on the steps of the Pres

questioned her. She could not or
did not tell where she was from,
further than to declare that she has
a home in heaven, which answer on
ly further intensified the sympathy of
the children and led them to search
the proper conclusion.that the strang-
er within the gate was demented.
It was evening time and nc, one want

viding for the woman. However lit
tie girls interested themselves to
such degree in her behalf that Oy-
erseer OF the Poor S. B. London was
prevailed on to take her to the Ja-
cobs House and there provide her
with meal. The hotel was crowd
ed that night and no lodging could
be obtained. Sheriff Lapp became
the good Samaritan III this cese and
took her TO his home and asked Mrs.
Lapp to take charge of her till he
could find out where she belonged.
He learned that she came from West
minister, Carroll county, Md, which
place she left foot in February. In
her wsnderings between that place
and this she said she one night slept
in tree. She gave her name as
Mary C. Barnes. Her people it ap-
pears live in Bendersville, Adams
Co, Pa, The Sheriff and Mrs Lapp
took care of her until she was able to
leave, which she did highly pleased
with the treatment accorded her.
