grown, left the little unfortunate to
help their mother. Two weeks ago a
malady came to the frail body. The
doctors said that it was rheumatism.
And the hands became cramped and
useless and the fingers could no longer
bring music from the ivory keys. Then
hope left the little body and she took
refuge from her sorrows in death

While Mrs. Richard Evans of Thorn

in the cradle her clothing caught fire
from the fireplace behind her, and she
was horribly burned before assistance
reached her, living in that condition
several hours. Amanda Knuckles. an
aged negress, was found burned to a
crisp in her cabin at White Bluff, Dick
son county, Tenn, day later. 1t is
thought that her clothing became ig-
nited, and that being blind and help
less she could not extinguish the
flames. The body was so frightfully
burned that it could not be dressed fol

This nation is on the high road to

navy that will command the respect
as well as the admiration of the
world. With great navy there will
come great mercantile marine as a

In undertaking to free Cuba from

annex Cuba il we drive the Spaniards

On the verge Of insanity, Miss Hattie
King, Of Ithaca, N. Y, was checked IN
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends in
sound physical and mental health and
regained happiness.
The change for the better in this charm
ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
old, is SO great that when she reappeared
in public her friends could hardly Believe
the evidence that their eyes clearly showed
them.
Miss King became greatly weakened
by complication Of physical troubles,
and was looked upon by her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles NJ, Burnett, tells
Of her strange cure as follows:
"Hattie first complained of dizziness,
which steadily grew worse.
"She suffered with nausea and attacks
Of vomiting; could keep but little on her
stomach.
Kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when drop was
drawn by the prick of needle, was al
most as colorless as water.
"Her heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight exertion of
rising from bed or from chair.
"Shc coughed continually, so that her
friends feared she was consumptive.
