Made Idiot by Blow.

VANCEBORO. Me-. Oct. 1.-Two yenrs
ago, one August morning. in the Lambert
lake settlement, Rosie Pelletier. young and
pretty French Canadian. was married to Ellie
Sirois, u young fellow countryman. In the
evening ut u dance which followed she was
abducted by Peter Bubeer, also II Canadian
and giant in strength and stature. Bubeer
had long sought the hand of the girl, and,
crazed with rage and rum, came on the
scene, shot right and left, and, like the
Young Lochinvar, bore the girl or.
All trace OF both was lost until
last week, when Joe I.acoOt, u
famous Indian guide. while prospecting
for New York parties for location for
game preserve, found the girl and Bubeer
near Syslodo sis lake. In the deepest part OF
the Maine woods and in aterritory unknown
even to Lacoot, who has passed his life in
the woods. The girl, it seems, had been
beaten into submission and dragged
further and further into the woods and
constantly subjected to abuse OF the most
revolving description. Finally, after a
more than usual display or bes.
an axe and dealt him a blow over the read,
which rendered him an idiot. Since then
she has been living like an animal, hoping
for the release which has come. She has
lived on berries or game which she has
trapped and shot. and on the increase OF
four pigs, which Bubeer forced her to carry
in q sack into tho woods. When the couple
were discovered the girl was clad only in
rags, and Bubeer, who since the blow imng-
ines himself IL hog. was stark naked.
Tho girls husband, who is n guide, is still
in the woods. unacquainted with the rescue
OF his wife. but he has always said that she
was innocent and that wherever or In what
ever state she was found he would hold him
self to his marriage vows. Dubeer Will be

A Veteran RattleRnake.

A huge rattlesnake has for fifty years
been known to live in the cliffs of Jen-
nie's creek, Johnson County, and many
attempts have been made to capture
it. One day last week COW belong
ing to Dan Davis, who lives in the
neighborhood, was bitten by snake,
and by marks in the sand and weeds
in the pasture field Mr.. Davis conclu-
ded at once that the COW was bitten by
this huge rattler, and offered 1926 to
any one who would kill it. One of
Mr.. Davis's farm hands armed himself
with two 49, caliber pistols and followed
the trail about mile to cave in the
cliffs. Climbing a sapling overlook
ing the mouth of the cave, he remained
there between three and four hours,
when the monster appeared. The
hunter fired nine shots into the snake
before he killed it, and on measuring
it it was found to he eighteen feet
long. Its body in circumference mea-
sured twenty y-nine inches. The rattles
on its tail were two feet long and eight
inches broad. Citizens of sixty and
seventy years of age who live i'll the
vicinity say that when they were young
they heard people talk of a monster
snake inhabiting those cliffs, and signs
of the reptile have been seen every few
years. s.--Louisville-C Courier Journal.

A man of humor and statistics has
discovered that the Chicago City Di-
rectory contains one Deadman to
twenty-six Coffins, one Pail, one Spade,
tifty-eight Sections and three Shades,
which seems out of proportion. An
improvement is noticed in one Dam
row, one Cuss, one Gosh, three
Punches, three Peelers and three
Cells. Then there are twenty Bards
to thirty Springs and fifteen Swallows
to ten Summers. Wearing apparel is
scarce. There are only three Cuffs,
one Corset, one Shirt, four Smocks
and one Bonnet, but there is only one
Bare. The provision department is
represented by one Butter, three
Chicks, eight Hams, one Egge and
seventeen Peppers, and fruit by one
Orange, nineteen Plums, six Peaches,
five Pears, one Peanuts and twenty
one Apples. There are, besides,
enough animals, wild and tame, to
stock dozen menageries, seventy-five
Loves, some Goodfellows and 22O
Saints. New Orleans Picayune.

THE COLD.SEEKERS.

Gold, gold, gold!
What care we for hunger and cold?
What care we for the mOil and strife,
Or the thousands of foes to health and life,
When there's gold for the mighty, and gold
for the meek,
And gold for whoever shall dare to seek?
Untold
Is the gold:
And It lies in the reach OF the man that 8
bold:
In the hands of the man who dares to face
The death in the blast, that blows apace:
That withers the leaves OH the forest tree:
That fetters with ice all the northern sea;
That chills all the green on the fair earth's
brcnst,
And as certainly kills as the unstayed pest
1t lies in the hands of the man who'd sell
His hold on his life for an ice-bound hell.
What care we Ior the feverad brain
That's filled with rawlings and thoughts in
sane,
so long as we hold
In our hands the gold?--
The glistening, glittering, CHASTITY gold
That comes ut the end of the hunger and
cold;
That comes at the end of the awful thirst;
That comes through the pain and torture
accurst
OF limbs that are rackcd and minds DER
thrown,
The gold lies there and is all our own,
BE We mighty or meek,
II we do but seek
For the hunger is sweet aud the cold is fair
10 tho man whose riches are past compare;
And the o'erthrown mind is us good us sane,
And a Joy to the limbs is the racking pain,
II the gold is there.
And they say, II you fail, in your dying day
All the tears, all the troubles, are wiped
away
by the fever-thought OF your shattered
mind
That u cruel world has Mt last grown kind;
That your hands oerrun with the clnking
gold
With nugg sts Of weight and of worth un-
told,
And your vacant eyes
Gloat DER the riches of Paradise!
