a BOY HERO.
His PeriIcuz and Painful Journey to
Save Life.


Not far from the Virginia line lives
two-t thirds youth, for, unfortunately,
both of his, lower limbs are artificial,
who has to his credit an act of heroism
which should make him d loved lad as
long as the memory of those who know
him lasts. 1t is little crippled Tim Olin,
whose home is away up in the noun
tains, IS miles from everywhere, az a
book agent once said of that part of the
country.
This bit of boy not long ago heard
that forest fires were sweeping every
thing that would burn before them
along the Virginia side of the noun
tains. One afternoon he climbed
through the snow to the top of the
mountain, one of the steepest of the
Cumberland, and took view of the fire
swept country below him. He was sur
prised to find the fire so fierce. and as
he watched Tim saw that the red
tongues were creeping on toward a lit
tie log cabin in which two old and help
less women, the ODER sisters, and their
blind and crippled brother, who is one
of the oldest men over OH the other side.
The lad realized that the house was
long ways from any other farmhouse,
and knew that the people in the humble
cottage would find themselves power
less if they were left in the cabin until
the fire got to their home.
Without thinking of how much suf-
fering it meant to his poor aching limbs,
Tim started down the rugged hillside
on his perilous journey of herOism. He
had race with the fire and twice fell
from exhaustion and almost despaired
of saving the old folks. But his in
domitable courage never tagged, and
he kept on going. He reached the old
homestead just as the prairie fire was
attacking the old frame crib. He hur-
ried into the house and informed the
old and thoroughly frightened people
of their danger. 1t only took him few
minutes to hitch the horse to the sled
and the old man was helped on to this
The four drove to shelter at the nearest
neighbor's, leaving the fire to do its
worst. The home of the old people was
partly burned during the night, but
the boy had gotten some of the neigh
bors to go and fight the fire, and they
were able to save most of the contents
of the hodse
The understanding lad has never re
covered from the injuries he Sustained
in making the awful trip, but he is very
proud of the deed. The old people viii
never cease to love and contribute to the
boys support out of their limited
means.-Washingto Star.

Greece. Turkey and the Powers.

In order to understand the eXtraor-
binary attitude of the European powers
in connection with the conflict between
Greece and Turkey it must be remem-
bered that whereas most OF the enor-
nous national debr OF the Ottoman en-
pire is in the hands of French. English
and Austrian bondholders. well-nigh
the entire state liabilities of Greece arc
held by German investors. Inasmucn
as war between Turkey and Greece
would tend still further TO embarrass
the finances of these two heavily in
debted countries, and thus compromise
the interests of their foreign bondhold-
crs, the great powers have decided that
under no circumstances would they per
nit any conflict to take place.-N. Y.

AN ACTORS CHIEF WoRRIMENT.
1t Is That His (" Makeup" Shall Be
Effective

The average theater-goer has but lit
tie idea of the great pains that a really
conscientious actor goes to in order
that his work may prove artistic and
effective. The popular idea that an ac-
tors chief worry is the committing of
his lines to memory is erroneous. Some
actors are, to be sure, what are termed
''haI'd studies,'' that is, men who have
difficulty IN memorizing their lines, but
the great majority of the members of
the profession find this an easy matter
from long training.
One of the first things that an actor
does after he has read the manuscript
of the part he is to play is to study the
essential characteristics of the man TO
be portrayed. The actor tries to pic
ture this man in his minds eye and to
make his appearance consistent with
his personality.
Herein the author is of great assist
ance, for he can describe the 'c1l;Is -., -
as he had it in his minds eye while
he was developing it. Thisinformation
secured, the actor gets the clothing to
be worn and OF the occasion of the first
dress rehearsal proceeds to make up for
the delineation of the part.
/ That his makeup will be effective is
his one worry, and it may be better i'm
| agined how important factor makeup
really is when it is known that in all
OF the principal schools of acting both
in this country and abroad it is made
the subject of a special course of study.
Of course, in making up for the stage
the actor has many aids, the wig maker
i'll particular being of great assistance,
and it issonly the artist in makeup who
! can do without this individual and at
/ the same time hide his identity.
Actors whose ability lies in their be-
ing able to portray distinct types of
character must, Perforce, give Il great
amount of attention to makeup, and
these men are forever collecting photo
graphs and old pictures Of people with
the IDEA that some time they may have
| TO copy something like them and the
models Will be usefu}.-Boston Globe.

CHAPTER XIV.

GA MARKED Niger WON'T HALF SELL"
The morning of the Goth of August
when the sun arose Cashier White still
sat bound in the armchair i'll the bank
facing the vaults. He could hear the
football OF early passers-by on the pave
ment on the outside, but could give
10 alarm; so there he sat in agony until
nine o'clock, when the president of the
bank arrived, and, finding the bank
locked, supposed that something I'M
usual had detained the cashier at home,
and with his own key unlocked the door
and entered to find Raymond White
half unconscious, tied securely in Il
chair, and the vault doors opened.
''Good Cod" he exclaimed; robbery
and ruin!" and with shaking hands he
cut the cords that bound the cashier.
That gentleman could neither speak
nor stand for some moments, but when
he could he told his tale, and concluded
with the words: ''The manager of the
affair was the man with the long, black
beard for whom [ cashed the checks
on yesterday"
what, the captain of the slaver?"
"The same: what is his name, or
whom were the checks made payable
to-"
The checks were made payable to
Baker d Mills, the auctiOneers, and in
dorsed by them payable to bearer.
The president rushed from the bank
to the courthouse for officers to board
the schooner and apprehend its captain
and crew.
At the courthouse he found all in
commotion. The Jail had not been
opened and the jailer was missing-his
hat was found on the ground at the
foot of the steps leading TO the Jail door.
The key could not be found in his
apartment, so d locksmith was pro
| cured and the lock opened.
In the cell of Plunkett and Cobb was
| found the iailer He was bound hand
| and foot: the cords were similar tC
! those thai had for so many hours held
| the cashier III the chair.
PIupkett and Cobb, who on the NOR
row would have been hanged by the
neck until dead, were gone.
The jailer stated how he had beer
Guped into opening the Jail by mar
who represented himself as captain o.
a vessel and stated that he wished t.
| have two drunken sailors locked III
until morning; that this man was &C
companied by several others, among
| whom was a large pocll-marlcd man
with one eye missing and scar on hi:

''This man." said the jailer, Il am Ger

The land of wheat and corn,
With milk and honey flowing
The land where we were born!

The soldiers bed varies notably in the different European armies According to Dr. Viry, the following are the prin- oipal varieties, in which, perhaps, we may see the reflection of national char aoteristics. In England the bed is hard. The soldier lies on thin mattress that rests on canvas stretched over 8 frame. In Spain the soldier has only straw bed, but he is allowed besides this pill low, two sheets, two blankets and a covered quilt, sometimes even a cover for the feet. It is almost sybaritio. In Germany and Austria he has a simple straw bed with one or two covers, neither sheet nor mattress In Russia, until recently, the soldier slept with his clothes on on 8 camp bed, but now ordinary beds begin to be used-the re- suit of contact with more civilized countries. After this it cannot be doubt ed that the French soldiers bed is the best of all. with it's wooden or iron bed stead, a straw bed, wool mattress, sheets, 8 brown woolen coverlet and an extra quilt for cold weather. Thus the bed of the French soldier is the soft est of all soldiers beds, as that of the French peasant is acknowledged also to be the best of all European countries = British Medical Record

His Laat Meal.

Every day some fresh source of food supply is discovered, says The Stamp Collector. Adhesive stamps have not hitherto been regarded as nutritious. The ostrich prefers gold watches for a steady diet, and the travelling tinker $ donkey has a reputation for consuming any clean linen that may be handy.
 A Hindoo paper, however, gives an account of a curious incident that oo- cured at the residenoy in a remote dis triot in Ceylon a little while ago. Mir. Pieris, the office assistant, placed on his table some judicial stamps to the value of about 900 rupees While his attention was drawn to something else his pet goat was slowly but surely mak- ing meal of the stamps This was not discovered until the goat had swaI- lowed some 30 rupees worth of stamps Immediately the goats life was de manded as penalty, and the stamps, afterward taken from it's stomach, were forwarded to the commissioners

The miners strike reached a terrible crisis near Hazelton, Penn, last Friday afternoon. A large body of strikers, the larger proportion of whom were Hunga- rians and Poles, were marching towards Latimer with the determination of com polling the men at work at this place to quit work. Sheriff Martin, with seventy deputies, met them and read the riot act to them, and demanded that they should stop. They treated him with ridicule and, as he asserts, with some personal violence, and attempted to surround the deputies, when the order to fire was given. Nineteen of the mob were instantly killed and forty were injured. Of the injured, ten or more have since died, making the total number of deaths at least thirty. The bloodshed is to be much regretted, and many blame the sheriff for acting in a too nasty manner, but he had duty to perform and he had to take extreme means at this time. The governor order ed regiment of soldiers to the scene, and no further violence has been reported as yet. The proposition of the mine owners to pay 65 cents ton (miners de- mand 69 eents) has been accepted by a part of the strikers. The strike has al- ready cost the miners over SIC, 1000, ,0O0 in wages
