Charles Sheldon, an Appleton young
man, came near being decapitated 4
few evenings ago. He was riding
home on his bicycle and when near his
house he took to the sidewalk, as the
road was muddy. Suddenly he ran in
to a telegraph wire, that some mis-
creant had strethced across the walk,
and was thrown violently to the ground.
The wire caught him in the throat and
buried itself into the flesh. He was
taken to a physician and the wound
was attended to. The police Of that
city are investigating the affair.

noise and hastily dressing herself she
went down stairs and secured a large
revolver. Going quietly to where the
would-be robber was trying to effect an
entrance she fired two shots in rapid
succession The burglar beat a hasty
retreat 1t is not known whether he
was injured or not.
The members Of the board OF educa- |

were voted for the purpose, but nothing
has been done and the council refused
to advertise the bonds and to allow the
board to advertise for plans and speci- !
fications for the building. IF action is
not taken within few days the whole
board may resign.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have Il
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

A Young American GIrl's Too.hardy Feat
 in St. Petersburg.

4 Young Amerieaa GIrI's Toolhardy Feat tn St. Petersburg. A military punishment once prevalent ! in Europe consisted in compelling the 1 offender to run between two files of men who stood facing each other, and who were privileged to strike him as he passed. The gauntlcts upon the mems hands being bullct-proof, of copper or steel, often made the punishment very severe.
 Whenever a girl voluntarily places herself in a position to draw forth un- favorable comment, she may be said to run the gauntlet. Seldom does she cs- cape unseathed.
 A few years ago, according to Youths | Companion, an uninitiatcd American girl, walking in St. Petersburg, wished to pass down certain street. The gentleman with her objected, saying it would be necessary t. pass certain famous clubhouse where all the diplo- matic corps and young guardsmen spent the morning, and that she would not enjoy their silly and often indecent | jests.
 Indecent" was her reply. ''I think can stand these gentlemen. My ac- tions can bear the light; we will not retreat before the enemy"
 As you like" was the vexed reply The words were hardly uttered before party of young men, talking loudly and smoking their cigarettes, came striling out of the club. They parted to let the couple pass, indulging mean while in bold staring and comments in a language which happily the girl did not understand.
 "I said would do it" she cried eX- ultingly when the two were alone. "Was it not amusing?"
 "It is form of amusement, mademoi- scllc, which I confess does not com mend itself to my taste." was the stiff reply And the gentleman, who had assiduously sought her friendship hith- crto, dropped her acquaintance from that time.
