HAD A MARROW ESCAPE.

The passengers aboard South side
car bound for the central city at 2.45
o'clock yesterday afternoon passing
along Pittston avenue near the Roar
ing Brook bridge were startled by the
cries of three small boys in the water
below them to the left of the bridge.
That the lads were drowning was ap-
parent. They had gone down twice
when "a well dressed man about forty
years rushed down the embankment
and brought the boys to shore.
The water at that point is not more
than five feet deep. but at the end of
the dam in stone wall embankment
and near the bottom of 1t is pipe
three feet in diameter, used to carry
the water through. thus avoiding 1t
flowing over the wall. The boys got
near the mouth of the pipe and the
suction was taking them down.
The rescuer, when asked his name,
started off smiling modestly as heroes
will. The man who asked the lads who
they were was told to take trip to
a warmer spot than Santiago.

The Man Who Walks Like a Bear.

It's a very large world that we're living in.
with room and enough to waste;
And there's nothing at all to prevent a man
from liking what's to his taste.

music that suits them best
Their muses. wait on the potentate, the
man with the kingly crest,
And they give US fables in forms austere.

When you realize the terrific things that
their menacing words imply:
I'd rather skip all the craftsmanship when
the prophets exclaim Beware
And turn with relief to Tommy's Dad. the
man who walks like bear.
small. curly-haaded fellow. he runs every
night to greet
The father whose step he can recognize 4
half block up the street.
And both are n bit world-weary with The
troubles Of the day;
Each welcomes the chum as he sees him
come for the evenings 'customed play.
It's after tea that the fun you'll see, as.
crouching upon all fours,
This beast which in vain Tommy's tried 10
train stalks viciously round and roars,
And the sofa pillows are none too fine to
fashion a fitting lair
In the library, for Tommy's Dad, the man
who walks like bear.
And it's sweet to feel mid the clang CT
steel and the murmuring threats of
strife,
That the man who will may be happy still
in quiet and placid life.
1t is pleasant to stray far, far away from
the motives that broil and mix.
For, after all, there's lot in life besides
fighting and politics.
Afar from marbles and stately walls dwells
the simple average man,
Yet he, and his kind, make the keystone IN
the arch of the nations plan.
So let's take time for a simple rhyme, ii
isn't so much to dare,
OF salutation to Tommy's Dad the man
who walks like bear.

4 Real Fortress.

The monastery of Solovetsk, in Archangel
Russia, is inclosed on every side by wall
of granite boulders. measuring nearly a
mile in circumference, and is the best pro-
tected in the world. The monastery itself
is very strongly fortified, being supported
by roind and square towers about thirty
feet in height with walls twenty feet in
thickness. The monastery consists in real
ity of six churches, which are completely
filled with statues of all kinds and precious
stones Upon the walls and the towers
surrounding these churches are mounted
huge guns, which in the time of the Cri-
mean war were directed against the British
White sea squadron. The monks who in
habited the monastery at that time
marched i'll procession on the granite walls
while the shells were flying over their
heads, to prove how little they feared the
attack of the British fleet. Ten Thousand
pilgrims come annually to SoloVetsk from
all parts of Russia to view the churches
and the relics. They are conveyed in steam
ers commanded and manned solely by
monks.
