nerves. The interviewer sought out MT
Ware to get the facts He gave the IL
terestlng particulars in his own way
1.-THE first shock came very suddenly
while / was asleep, but 1t was not iastS

was able to be about few month9
after when exhausted by work ana
drenched with rain / went home III q

second and more severe shock, artei
which my left arm and leg were prac'
tically helpless.
my grandfather, who was soldier
In the Revolutionary War, and lost an

Mr. Ware has every appearance OF q

an age when many men retire from
active life. He says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved IL Pink Pills haC

A Young prldge-Jumper.

A Pennsylvania story says that Patsy
Davis, 10 years old, made daring leap
from the top Of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad bridge into Chester Creek the
other day. He asked some men for a
chew of tobacco, and one of them said
he would give 1t to him If he would
jump from the bridge. Patsy accepted
the offer and Immediately clambered to
the top, about ninety feet above the
water. The tremendous height did not
scare him, and, without taking off his
clothes, he sprang into the air. He
struck the water with resoundlng
smack and disappeared. After a dozen
seconds he reappeared, shook the water
out of his eyes and swan lelsurely to
the shore.

While passing through the freight
yard of the Jersey Central railroad at
Elizabethport the other afternoon a
young man saw a boy standing between
the buffers Of two uncoupled freight
cars. The young man saw that the
boy was in dangerous position, and
called to him to get from between the
cars. Receiving no answer, he went
closer, and was Mortified to find that he
had been talking to corpse. The boy
had evidently been passing between the
cars, when a locomotive moved them,
and he was crushed between the bump
ers and held there.

LOYAL TO CONVICT LOVER.
william Mitchell and Lizzie Rogers

william Mitchell and Lizzie Rogers
Welded After Five Years.
After five years Of patient waiting
William Mitchell, an ex-convict, weds
Miss Lizzie Rogers, of Lebanon, Ind.
Mitchell was arrested on a charge OF
larceny and incarcerated in the county
jail to await trial, and it was then that
he first met Miss Rogers, who was act
ing in the capacity of chief cook in that
place. AS Mitchell was possessed of a
good education and was attractive, he
soon gained favor with Miss Rogers and
courtship under difficulties began.
Mitchell was tried and convicted and
sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment, but by good behavior was liber-
ated in five years. Miss Rogers, how
ever, after spending the greater portion
Of her earnings in his behalf, was
daunted not in the least. She continued
to use every means she had to procure
his liberty, but without avail. Out of
her little earnings she would purchase
dainties and send him. Mitchell was
liberated the other day and at once pro-
ceeded to the quiet little cottage of his
betrothed, and at high noon they were
married

Of course, must uphold the dignity and

the ladies who haven't even line to

an eXtravagant and lively dresser, and

to mark the trail and the Christians
follow. You will never see Il Turk kick

pie. but these dogs flew straight for
the animal that wounded their COM
rade ana parked and snapped at its
heels until the horse turned into an
other street. AT that point every dog
stopped short and walked back to his
place, but the unfortunate horse was
not yet out of danger. The moment he
turned the corner the dogs on that
block took up the chase and pursued
him to the next. II seemed natural
for the first lot of dogs to step at the
turn of the street here, however. there
was no turn, but the dogs stopped
at the crossing as abruptly as the 9th
erS had az the corner. and the next re-
lay took up the fight as vicously MS
the others had, and SO the chase con-
tinued until the horse and rider disap-
pcared.

The STEAMBOAT dogs appear to fare bet
