new witnesses who will testify against
Theodore Durant at his forthcoming

der she asked Durant in his capacity
of church librarian, for a book from
the church library. He escorted her
thither, left the room a few minutes
and returned entirely nude. The young
woman made her escape with diff
Guilty. Similar conduct would explain
the absence Of bloodstains on Durants
clothing after Minnie Williams was

a Bears Nose.

A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one of the physical pecul,
iarities Of the bear. General Hamilton,
who tells the story in his Sport in South
ern India" was out on bear shooting ex-
petition with brother officer. The beat
ers drove the bear from his hiding place,
and shot from the officer throw him on
the ground, but he got up with u grunt
and made off.
AS the bear passed an open bit Of ground
General Hamilton again fired, but missed,
and the beast turned upon him. When he
was within few yards the general gave
him the other barrel. AS this did not stop
him Hamilton started to run, but trIpped
over q rock and fell fiat on his face
The bear was upon him instantly, and
the sportsman, looking over his shoulder,
cav into the bears mouth as the brute
made grab at him. The animal caught
him by the thigh and pinned him. Know
ing that a bears nose is very sensitive,
Hamilton hit him several hard blows on
the nose The bear, unable to endure the
pain, let go, and before he could get hold
again. Hamilton was up the hill.
His companion ran up and killed the
bear by ball through his heart. But the
bears claws had laid open Hamilton's
thigh to the bonc and he was in bed for a
month.

A New Street Game,

The boys and girls who have had such
fun playing "pots" have grown tired of
this game and have invented new diver
sion, which they call Ground the world. 1"
All the requirements needed for the game
are q piece of chalk or coal, a smooth
stretch of pavement and an unlimited
amount Of energy. A widening circular
line, cut through with radiating lines, is
marked on the sidewalk, and in the center
is q round space marked REST"
The whole thing resembles q spiders
web. The object Of the game is to hop
from block to block Of the web without
letting the foot touch any Of the chalk
marks. Lots are drawn to see which play
or has the first chance. and the winner
starts and hops over each OF the bars until
the circle marked REST" is reached; then
the process is reversed until the hopper is
once more on the outside of the web.
If none of the lines is touched by the
hopper, he or she has the privilege of put
ting his or her name in one of the bars.
Then the second player starts in, and must
skip the space marked by the beginner,
and so on. No player is allowed to hop on
a place marked with a name, and the hop
per that has most spaces marked ut the
conclusion of the game is declared the
winner.
The game has been out buta couple of
weeks, but seems to have hit the juvenile
fancy, especially on the east side, where
the sidewalks are covered with cabnlistiC
drawings by the youngsters. No one seems
to know where the game originated, but it
is spreading very rapidly.-Now York Re-

The late Professor Stephen J. Young Of

One day he was on a train bound from

tackled him in all the foreign lingo he could

than stupid stare.

deepenod on his face. The professor was
nonplused and was about turning in do

YEARLY out of the window and remarked
sadly to himself:

Utilizing q Car Fender.

Some of the delegates who attended the
convention of Baptists are utilitarians to
the last degree. Many came from remote
rural districts, but that did not prevent
them from suggesting new uses for things
they have never seen before One of this
class came to town with a big delegation,
and after going to the headquarters for his
state he started for the home to which he
had been assigned.
He had been told to get on a City and
Suburban line car. One came bowling
along North avenue and stopped at his
corner. 1t was an open car, and as soon
as it came to a standstill he carefully seat
ed his daughter, grabbed his heavy valise
and Urotted up to the forward end of the
car, saying cheerfully to the conductor
"Wait moment" Thinking he was 90
ing to take one of the front Seats the con-
ductor waited, but was surprised to see
him go around the front of tho car. He
had loosened his brake, which spun around
with whiz, and was in readiness to turn
on the current the instant the go ahead
signal was given. The visitors conduct
caused him to put his brake hard down
and yell out:
"Icre! What in the blazes are you do
ing? Come back here and take that thing
off"
The stranger had just run up to the
front of the car and dropped his big valise
in the car fender and was on his way back
to join his daughter. He probably did not
hear the motorman, or if he did he paid
no attention to him.
"Here you! Come back here and take
this thing OFF, sung out the motorman
again.
The visitor realized that he had made a
mistake. The motorman's emphatic re-
monstrance convinced him Of that. He
went back, took his valise and remarked
apologetically to the motorman, the con-
ductor and the passengers, 81 thought that
thing was put there to carry q fellows

ALMOST BACK TO LIFB.
Encouraging Test on the Day Following
the Drowning OF a Boy.

Encouraging Test on the Day Following
the Drowning OF a Boy.
At Heffron's undertaking rooms in
Cleveland an effort was made recently to
bring back to life Louis Fisher, aged 8
years, who was drowned in the lake on the
previous afternoon.
DR.. Whitney, a physician living on Will
son avenue, claims that he himself was
drowned at one period of his life, and after
being dead more than an hour animation
was, by certain method, restored. DR..
Whitney has for some time desired to put
this process to another test but never
awaited himself of the opportunity until
now. His theory is that corpse can be
resuscitated, providing there are no in
ternal injuries, by placing the entire body,
except the eyes, nose and mouth in bath
Of water heated to constant temperature
of 10 degrees +. and leaving it there for
at least five hours An ordinary bathtub
wGS used.
When the water had reached the proper
temperature, DR. Whitney and his assist
ants carefully deposited the body in the
tub. 1t was then about II o'clock in the
morning, and from that time until 4
O'Clock, when the experiment was given
up, the condition Of the corpse was studi-
ously watched by DR.. Whitney. Although
the experiment was failure, at times the
blood was started to circulate, and the
face and lips assumed their natural color.
1t is said that the heart was felt to throb
several times. When the test was over, DR..
Whitney claimed it was not successful be-
cause the boys body was rolled over q
barrel after the drowning, thus causing
internal injuries. Cleveland Leader.
