Had Climbed Tree In Play. but Missed
HIS Footing.
Daniel Regan. jr,. a lad IA years of
age. son Of MIR. and Mrs. Daniel Regan.
met with most distressing accident
Sunday afternoon. Young Regan was
amusing himself about the yard and
had climbed a tree near the house.
Suddenly. In some manner. he lost
his hold and fell headlong to the
ground. Some persons near seeing the
accident rushed to his assistance. They
saw that he was terribly hurt, and was
in awful agony.
Loving hands carried him to the
house. when surgical aid was sent for.
Dr. Fitzsimmons soon arrived and
attended to the lad. II needed but a
short examination to show that the
injuries were of the most serious ma
ture. Three OF his ribs were complete
ly torn from the spinal column. Be
sides this he sustained many bruises
about the body. and. is thought to have
been injured internally. Every thing
possible to make him comfortable and
to relieve the terrible pain he is suf-
fering was done, and the family and
many friends wait anXiously for fur
ther developments.

Another man expresses his gratitude to
DR.. Smith and staff for curing him Of a
bad case Of catarrh of the head. Mr..
Gust Lager called on DR.. Smith and staff.
He was suffering from a bad case of ca
tarrh. 1t had caused catarrhal inflamma-
ton Of the throat and had extended to the
inner ear, impairing his hearing and caus-
ing peculiar sounds in his ears. which an
noyed him very much. He would FREE
quently imagine some one had spoken to
him when, in fact, there was no one near
him at the time. He commenced taking
magnetic treatments. The first two weeks
he thought he was worse. The second
two weeks showed a slight change for the
better He kept on improving and In ten
weeks was satisfied that he was cured.

Sunday night several persons broke

The school was about to open and the

Among other things destroyed was O

An order was received last week
from Moscow, Russia, and shortly
after q similar order from Warsaw,
Poland, for q carload of Sierra Nevada
redwood, to be used in the manufac-
ture of lead pencils. The orders in
themselves are of no great import
ance, except as showing that q new
use has been found for certain kind
of California redwood, and that this
is only the beginning of an export
trade which may develop into some
thing worth looking after.
What becomes of the lead pencils is
almost rs much of problem as what
becomes of the pins. Millions OF
pencils are used and lost and thrown
away and disappear every year, and
the demand increases constantly in
stead of diminishing. OF late years
Russia has begun to make use of her
vast deposits of plumbago in the man
ufacture of lead pencils, and while as
yet the Russian pencils have not taken
rank with the best lead pencils of
other Nations, the output is on the in
crease and the quality is sure to i'm
prove.
The wood which holds and encasos
the lead is an important part of the
pencil. 1t must be soft in order to be
sharpened easily, and yet it must not
be brittle or cross-grained. Cedar is
the fayorite wood for pencils, but the
Russians evidently believe our noun
tain redwood equally available, as is
seen by their demand for it. The
supply of Florida cedar being limited
has compelled search for substi-
tute, and our mountain redwood
stands high up in the second rank.
Redwood has already come into
favor for other purposes. 1t is used
very largely as an ornamental wood,
especially the knotty and curly va
riety. If to this we can add the export
of the straight-grained wood, even for
making lead pencils in Russia and Po-
land, we may congratulate ourselves
upon the opening of a new avenue OF
industry which may broaden aud ex-
pand in the future.

willingness to entertain q girl or boy
for a week. The society paid for the

from the country.
"It's a good notion" commented
Mr.. Joplin.
"But very few of these kind people

cor, jest simply like boys?" sug

And then little Knucks, tho lame
boy, returned. He hoped in and
laid the card on tho desk.
"Here is the ticket back again, sir, "
he said. ''Lst some other boy use it (;
l don't need it. I'm not going" He
was outside of the door by this time
Mr.. Joplin's tall form arose sud-
denly from his chair. He took q few

the little chap back into the room.
"Oome back herel"
'Tm not go1n' to tho country to-
morrow" the lad persisted. "Lemme

"Sit down there!" commanded Mr..
Joplin.
"Now, when Knucks had received
the precious ticket emitting him to
the country week he had flown home
ward as fast as his crutch would car
ry him. Little Jimmy Patton, the
sun-strlcken lad, lay on the brisk lit
tie cripple's bed. He looked up weakly
as his friend hoped into the room.
"Tve got it, jim !" Knucks cried,
eagerly, "Ivo got q ticket for one,
an you can go to the country to-mor-
row !"
The sick boys face lighted up and
he took the ticket and looked at it.

Cost of Living in ErOpe's Capitals.

An investigation into the compare
tive cost of living at the various capi-
tails results in the following interest
ing facts: At Vienna the prices of
most articles of food are lowest; at
Madrid they arc dearer than in any
other capital, and such things as
bread, meat, sugar and coal are very
expensive. At st. Petersburg also the
price of bread is 50 high that white
bread is still considered luxury
above the means of tho working
classes. Next to Vienna, Brussels is
an inexpensive city. Paris is a little
higher in the scale, but London is
TERRIBLY expensive. - Westminster

the Secretary answered that nobody
wanted boys yet. This boy limped in
and out on q crutch, for one of his
legs hung withered and useless, but
his limb was brisk despite the heat
and his evident weariness. But he
stopped when out of hearing, and one
hand slipped furtively up and dashed
q tear or two away.
Upon the following afternoon a tall,
angular man came striding briskly into
the Office. The Secretary looked up
from his writing, then greeted him
politely.
"Paul Hallett, 1 reckon?" inquired
the newcomer.
''That IS my name. sir. What can
] do for your I-why, of course !
remember you, John Joplin" said
Mr., Hallett, with hearty ring in his
voice. "And 1 am truly glad to see
you again, old friend"
Mr.. Joplin in his we'll known pep
per-and-salt suit, did not look particu-
larly prosperous, and the Secretary
was afraid that he had been obliged to
save and hoard in order to make this
journey back East from Colorado, to
visit old scenes. But he was very
glad to see him, and he was talking
over old times when he was interrupt
ed by the entrance of the lame boy
who had come the day before and gone
away disappointed with a whistle on
his lips and tears in his eyes. To-day
his face seemed to look a little older
and thinner. But he hoped in
briskly on his crutch.
"Got a chance for me yet, sir?" he
asked.
"Yes, my lad" the Secretary an
swered. 81 have just one chance for
boy. You can spend your Fourth
of July week in the country. What
is your nNme?" As he spoke he held
out a card.
"Hii" The boy fairly snatched the
card and hoped out of the room
with a smoothered whoop.
"lhat boy has happy week before
him, >" said the Secretary. 81 wish it
were in my power to make many more
such little fellows happy in the same
way"
"What's this business, anyhow p
asked Mr.. Joplin. 81 don't exactly
see through it.
