DEATH IN A WpER's CRUEL FANes
Baby Herring Bitten While FondIing the
Poisonous Serpent.

Baby Herring Bitten While Fondling the
Poisonous Serpent.
Nettie Herring, the 20-months-old ba-
by of John Herring, a farmer living
near Camden, died from the effects of
the bite of a deadly sand viper, which
she had found in the back yard of her
fathers house several days ago, the
Philadelphia Record says. With child
ish delight the baby picked up the
poisonous serpent and began fondling
it, and finally attempted to kiss the
glittering head. The viper, however,
plunged its deadly fangs into the babys
tongue and then wriggled away through
the grass.
The Mortified mother found her baby
unconscious and at the same time
caught glimpse of the snake. She at
once sent for a physician, and he sum-
moned two New York experts, who be-
gan to apply the new treatment fol

A SAFE SHIP WITH TWO HuLLs
In Case One Should sink the Other viii
Float Right Along.

In Case One Should sink the Other Will
Float Right Along.
A very unique departure in shipbuild-
ing has been suggested by Julius Gut
man, of Berlin, who proposes to build
two hulls, one within the other, so that
in the event of the outside hull meet
ing with any accident and sinking the
other hull will continue to float, says
the Philadelphia Record. The model.
built by the inventor upon small scale,
has demonstrated positively that
his idea Is correct in the main, and 1t
remains for the navy engineers to i'm
prove the construction of these double
ships so that they may be applied to the
passenger steamers crossing the At
Iantic. The model exhibited by the in
ventor consists of en- outer ship and an
inner ship. He proposes to have all
cabins and living quarters for the crew
within one, while the machinery, coal,
freight and ballast would be placed in
the outer or carrier ship. In the event
uality of a collision or other accident al
sea, which would cause a ship to sink
the buoyancy of the inner ship, which
is supposed not to have suffered, would
float it, the water entering between the
hull of the outer and the inner wall OF
the inner, being sufficient to insure the
safety of the inner vessel. 1t is believed
| by experts that such construction will
| eventually make it possible to offer the
| greatest safety to travellers on thu
| ocean.

THE NEBRASKA eNocH UP a TREE

When He Returned His Deserted Wife
Sceked the Dog on Him.
A paper in western Nebraska con-
tains the outline of q story that should
be slung into undying verse by poet
as good as the author Of .Enoch Ar
den," says the Nebraska State Jour
snal. Some years ago in the town where
the paper Is published there lived .
man who had wife and daughter.
He seemed prosperous, and his credit
was good for anything he desired.
One fine starlight night he disappear
ed, taking with him nearly everything
that wasn't nailed down. He had made
about every man in town a creditor,
and when he went agay, the people
betook themselves into outer darkness
for awhile and walled and CRASHED
their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated
the same as the rest. They found them
selves destitute. The fiend in human
form who had so long officiated as
husband and father left them not a
dollar. The lady and her daughter
were, of course, looked colby upon for
awhile, as the people believed them to
be in collision with the departed. But
they were not depressed by this. They
went manfully to work like little hero
ines in play; the mother did sewing
and the daughter did whatever she
could get to do. They prospered, as
they deserved to prosper. The older
| heroine in time established a millinery
store which captured all the trade.
while the younger became principal of
the schools. They had money in the
bank and could eat ice cream whenever
| they wanted to.
The other day seedy tramp called
at the back door of the lady's, resi-
dence and asked for drink and some-
| thing to eat. The good lady looked
at him intently and recognized her
husband. And now the really beauti-
full part of the story comes in. Did the
lady kill the fatted calf for the prodi-
| gal and bid him welcome and forget
the past? Not to any great extent.
She called the family dog, a large
creature, with a penchant for human
remains, and no man ever climbed a
tree quicker than did the crring hus-
band.

For weeks handsome adventures has
been operating in Newark, N. ]. She
went by half a dozen different names,
and it is believed that New York was her
home. She successfully blackmailed a
number of prominent men, and finally
called on a lawyer. She entered his Of
fee demanded $500, and told him that If
he failed to pay she would call on his wife
and relate a story that would cause
trouble
He refused to be bled, and told the
blackmailer to see the wife without de-
lay. After she had departed, he called
up his home on the Office telephone. He
had two stout German girls employed
as servants, and describing the adven-
turess, told Lena, one of the girls, to in
yite her into the reception room and give
her good clicking"
He told them to take broomsticks, or
anything that came handy, and after
she was well whipped, to throw her
out "Give it to her good and tell my wife
that it is by my ORDERS" he said.
The girls were eager for the fray when
the visitor arrived. They smashed her
all over the room, breaking furniture and
glass. They closed both her eyes. bruised
her from head to foot and when the wife
arrived at the scene of the battle, the
girls had just pitched the visitor out on
the sidewalk.
The police escorted the blackmailer out
of the city, and refused to give the names
of the interested parties.

Eutrapped by Woman and Fled as II
for Dear Life.
A most audacious enterprise has been
undertaken and successfully carried
out by a respectable looking man in
New York, the Herald says. He rang
the bell of city house the other day,
and, presenting a visiting card, asked
for the mistress, Mrs. Blank, saying
that the woman whose card he offered
had sent him. She was dear friend CT
Mrs, Blank, so the latter listened will
1ingly to the story the man had.to tell.
He was the usual poor, but deserving
parent of unnumbered children. Mrs.
Blanks friend had promised clothes.
and had sent him to her to see If she
could give him work-if not, he was to
go to Mrs. Dash, common friend OF
the other two women.
ST can't give you employment" said
Mrs. Blank, "but I will give you tenn
porary help, at all events. Wait mo-
ment and I will bring you down some
money"
AS she descended with her pocket
book in hand she saw the man stealth
lily remove some visiting cards from
the receiver in the hall and slip them
into his pocket.
What are you doing that for?" she
asked, her suspicious aroused.
The man looked up in CONSERVATION
and fed, without another word. Mrs.
Dash's card, of course, had been OBJ
tanned in the same way.
Mrs. Blank is now warning all her
acquaintance to put no trust in any
man who may present her card or use
her name.

at West Point of skilled foresters for
local forest guard, and for the use of

quenting the woods, west of Alpena,
Mich. She was without clothing, and
chased children, and every attempt to
capture had been futile, as she was as
fleet of foot as deer.
Wednesday, an organized party Of
farmers and police officers started on
a woman-hunting expedition. They beat
the brush, searched dense forest, and
finally came upon the creature. She
made a desperate fight, biting and
scratching her captors, and howled like
some wild animal.
She was overpowered and bound. Her
home was a nest in the roots of an old
stump, into which she had burrowed
and partially filed with straw. No
food was found, and she had probably

She was almost skeleton, although

A FARMER IN A brown STUDY
New Variety of Corn Grows Rank but
Produces No seed.

New Variety of Corn Grows Rank but
Produces No seed.
Last spring Jake Ehrman was read
ing a magazine and he saw an adver-
tisement of some very fine corn seed,
says the News of Jackson, Miss. 1t
was some kind of wonder or
Smiths prolific" or something of the
sort
But that's neither here nor there. 1t
guaranteed that each stalk would pro-
duce five well-developed ears of corn
and two nubbins; that each stalk would
furnish two bundles Of fodder, and that
after the corn and fodder were gath
cred, considerable pile of shekels
would be made by selling the stalks for
firewood
Now, everybody knows that Jake al
ways has an eye to the main chance,
and as he thought of that wonderful
corn, visions of wads of ''long green
to be derived from the sale of it float
ed before his eyes. So he invested in
a bushel or so of seed. When the seed
came in it looked very much like any
other corn, but Jake had faith.
He had 10 acres of the best land on
the place prepared in the most scientific
manner and highly fertilized. Then he
planted the corn. 1t came up nicely
and grew wonderfully fast 1t just
kept on growing, and is still at it.
In regard to the fodder and size of
the stalks the predictions Of the adj
vertisement seem to be fulfilled. But
the funny thing about it is there isn't
an ear Of corn in the whole 10 acres.
Not one. The corn all went to stalk
and leaves.
One of the stalks Is at Brown Bros.
stable. 1t is Is feet high and looks
something like a fishing pole with
leaves on 1t. But what puzzles Jake,
is how the seedmen managed to get
the seed Of the corn, when the variety
don't have corn on 1t.
