Boy Kidnapped.

About a week ago a neatly dressed
couple alighted from railroad train
at Tamaqua and registered at one of
the hotels as Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Jenkyn. They were subsequently
seen in close conversation with the
adopted eight-year-o son of Charles
Christ. A day or two afterwards the
boy was missing, and no trace of him
has since been found. At the same
time the couple disappeared, leaving
behind an unpaid board bill. When
questioned, about the couple speak
ing to MIN, the boy said they were his
uncle and aunt from Philadelphia, this
is doubted. Mr.. Christ traced them
to Lakeside, where Proprietor Yost
said couple and boy answering
the description boarded a coal train
for Bloomsburg, but all further trace
of them was lost.-Ashland Local.

THEY SET GUARDS.
Many Animals Post SeRtineIs to
Watch While They work
and Play.

1t is well known that many animals
appoint one or more of their number
to act as sentinels to guard against sur
prise while the rest are asleep or feed
ing or at play. Among the animals
using the word in its widest sense-that
are thus prudent may be named the
following: Wasps, ants, chamois and
other antelopes, prairie dogs, wild
horses, rocks, swans, Austrian coclia-
toos, zebras, quails, certain monkeys,
flamingoes, New Zealand silver eyes,
slugs and other birds, marmots, mou-
fon and other sheep, seals, African wild
cattle, huanacoes, elephants, etc.
Perhaps the best known of these are
the prairie dogs, who burrow their
homes in the earth in little villages,
with regular streets ant -"erythipg.
All around these villages, bolt upright,
sit wise little dogs to keep lookout
while the others sun themselves at the
doors of their burrows or play. Let a
strange animal or a man appear and
one Of the little sentries at once barks,
and in another instant there is twink
ling Of heels, and not prairie dog Is

SEVEN BURIED ALIVE.
Laborers Caught Under Avalanche Of Culm
at Centrala-Four Killed Outright.

Four men were killed outright and
three others were so badly injured that
their recovery is doubtful, by the cave
in of culm bank at Centralia Friday
afternoon. The dead are:
James Gaughan, aged IS years; leaves
wife and three children.
John Kuko, aged 2S, single.
Joseph Seanheck, aged 80; wife and
three children.
John Comyock, aged 40 years wife
and four children.
The injured are George Ferdokor,
aged 80, single, leg broken and internal
injuries; John Conins, aged IS, mar
risd, leg broken and knee-cap dis
located, also injured internally, and
John Sedisky, aged IS, single, injured
internally and back crushed
Several other workmen narrowly es-
capped.
The men were engaged in loading
cars with culm taken from bank
forty feet high, and which the Lehigh
Valley Coal Company are running
through their Centralia colliery IN
order to secure the valuable coal that
was dumped there from the mines
several years ago. A large quantity
from the bottom had been removed
which undermined the top and made
1t extremely dangerous. One of the
men looked up and, seeing that the
top threatened to fall in, climbed up
the side of the bank. With the use of
a shovel he succeeded in starting it,
but the workmen below kept at work.
When the fall occurred they were
hurled against the sides of the three
cars standing on the track. The force
was so great that the cars were over
turned and the men were buried.
The work to rescue them al once
began. Hundreds of men with shovels
ran from the village to the scene. The
injured men were the first to be reach
ed The crushed and twisted bodies
of the more unfortunate men were
found about FIVE feet from the track
Evidently they had met with instant
death. The banks were surrounded
by mass who feared tor friends OIL
relatives. The crying of the distressed
was pitiful in the extreme, and coulc
be heard half mile away.

A NATURAL QUESTION.
That Arises with This Is, Do These
stubborn welsh Walk
Spanisht

A very long time ago the British gov
ernment ordered that English should
be taught in Welsh schools. AS Il result,
in 1895, a colony of prosecuted Welsh
miners fed from the British tyranny
and settled in the deserts of Patagonia.
These men were heroes, and with most
magnificent courage they dared to live
in a desert where not plant would
grow, where the water was bracliish
and the heat intolerablc. They we've
surrounded by wild tribes of hostile
savages, and made them warm friends;
they We're ruled by foreign govern
ment, and became loyal citizens.
Through long years of want and fam
inc they never despaired. They have
turned the desert into beautiful fer
tile country, have become rich, number
1900 people, have extended their string
ofsettlements right across South Amer
lea, own a paying railway, and ship
large crops of wheat, wool, ostrich
feathers and quapaco skins.
They left Wales to escape the tyr
amy of the English language, and now,
rather than talk Welsh, they converse
largely of their freedom in excellent
Spanish.

SEVEN LADIES STOLE.
They All belonged to One Family
Arrestcd In Paris for KIep-
toniauiR.

A detective on duty at the Louvre had
his attention called by one of the as-
sistants to the extraordinary attitude
Of seven ladies who wandered about
from one counter to another without
buying anything. After watching these
ladies for some time the detective called
up a colleague, and the two together
took all seven into custody, says the
Dublin Saturday Herald.
On being searched they were found
to have secreted stuffs and small OBJ
jects of value under their dresses, and
were Immediately marched off TO the
police commissary. That functionary
found to his amazement that the troupe
consisted of a grandmother, three Of
her daughters and three granddaugh-
ters, in comfortable circumstances.
The old lady's husband and the hus-
bands of her three daughters were i'm
mediately sent for (the youngest ladies
of this interesting family are still un-
married), and declared themselves to-
who, they said, made frequent trips to
Paris from their home in the suburbs
and often brought home many pretty
things; but they assured the commits
sary that they (the husbands) had no
notion that these had been come by
otherwise than by the usual method Of
purchase.
The commissaire, taking the social
position of the "kleptomaniacs' into
consideration, has allowed them their
liberty upon heavy bail.

SlAMESE FOOTBALL.

The Siamese youth have only one
game worth considering, and that one

all events, the game requires a certain
amount of activity, and is very inter

football-in fact, l have heard it called
Burmese football-played with a ball
about four inches in diameter, made of
braided rotan, entirely hollow, very
strong and resilient. The number of
contestants is not arbitrarily fixed, but
play is sharpest when there are enough
to form circle about ten feet in diam
eter. The larger the circle after il has
passed the desirable diameter the slow
er the play.
The game is to keep the ball tossing
into the air without breaking the circle.
AS a man fails at his opportunity he
drops out, and when there remain but
four or six, the work is sharp and very
pretty. The ball is struck generally
with the knee, but also with the foot.

Some become remarkably clever. have
seen a player permit the ball to drop
directly behind his back, and yet, with
cut turning, return it clear over his
head, and straight into the middle of
the circle, by well-placed backward
kick of his heel.

"There is but one thing to do when
you are sleeping in n strange place and
the fire call is sounded. Get out of bed
swiftly but quietly, put on your shoes,
