LED BY THE BLIND.
A Timid Woman Conducted Across .
Crowded Street by n Sight
less Man.

81 saw most remarkable occurrence
en- the street the other day." said pro-
fessional man, reports the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, land it made deep inn
preston on me. A lady came down Eu-
cid avenue and stopped at the corner
cf Bond street. She evidently wanted
TO cross to the other side of the avenue.
She was not young woman and she did
not look strong. There was quite a
ja m of vehicles IN the street, motor cars,
wagons and bicycles, and she seemed
little timid about risking the passage.
AS she hesitated man came upsBond
street and paused beside her. He was
well-dressed man and carried a heavy
cane, which noticed he used constant
ly as if he might be little lame.
"'Sir,' said the lady to him, can ! ask
you to offer me the protection of your
arm in crossing the streets?
''She said this in very sweet and
ladylile way and the man with the
cane touched his hat. y
"'Certainly, madam he replied, and
offered his arm. AS they crossed the
street / followed close behind them.
The man with the cane was very care
full. he halted several times, but they
reached the other side without mishap.
AS the lady let go of his arm she said:
Thank you, sir, for your courtesy
ind projections.
"'You are quite welcome, madam he
replied. But fear you overvalue my
otection-because am blind!'
"And touching his hat again he
turned and picked his way up the
crowded sidewalk

as 1740, and three other stone build
ings, one of which was the church still
standing. The church was surrounded
by an earthwork by Sir William John
son in 1856.
This was fertilization of consider
able pretensions both as to size and inn
pregnability against the arms of those
days. The other two buildings farther
east were probably similar in their con-
struction. Into these the inhabitants
fled and found refuge when attacked,
or before expected attacks by their
foes. Such a course was followed in
1857, and the lives of many of the in
habitants were thereby saved, to wit
ness the burning of some of their dwell
ings and their mills. The French COM
mander showed discretion in not at
lacking the fort.

FORT HERKIMER CHURCH.
1t Was Built in 1.o1-5s and Is shul
Standing, Rare Historical
Monuments

The stone church at Fort Herllimer
was erected in 1751-53; the precise time
not being known, and formed a part of
the stockaded defense built under the
administration of Sir William johnson
in the year 1856. 1t was not finished
when the French and Indian invasion
of 1857 occurred.
After that disastrous event, which
brought poverty upon the people, they
applied for and received from Sir Henry
Moore, the governor of the colony,
license to solicit subscriptions to COM
pete the church. Fort Herkimer,
which constituted an important part OF
the frontier defense, embraced large
stone house, probably erected as early.

The Vitality Of snaiI..

The snail is blessed with great pow
ers of vitality. A case is recorded of an
Egyptian desert snail which came to
life upon being immersed in warm
water after having passed four years
glued to card in the English museum.
Some species in the collection of GER
tain naturalist, revived after they had
apparently been dead for Is years; and
snails, having been frozen for weeks in
solid blocks of ice, have recovered upon
being thawed out. The eggs are as hard
to destroy as the snail itself. They
seem perfectly Indifferent to freezing,
and have been known to prove produc-
tive after having been shriveled up in
an oven to the semblance of grains of
sand.

Her Father Objected.
merchant prince was great man in
cid Philadelphia far greater man
than the master of little school, even
though it were the most select in the
city-even though the teacher were an
exiled French gentleman of royal blood,
duke of Orleans then, King Louis
Philippe in after years. IL
The story of how the princely school
master courted the charming Abigail,
daughter of Thomas Willing, is re-
lated with new detail in recent num-
Der of the Ladies' Home Journal.
Dressed in his best, and probably. not
withstanding that he was modest and
sensible young man, little in fear of an
unfavorable response, the exiled prince
called on the American merchant and
asked him for his daughter. There was.
perhaps, more pride than humility IN
tile answer he received:
Sir, should you ever be restored to
your hereditary position, you will be
too great match for my daughter; if
not, she is too great match for YOU"
So the poor schoolmaster went away
disappointed, and, although only his
position" and the lady's appear to have
been considered by the hard-hearted
parent, it is probable that if Mistress
Abigail had not agreed with his opinion
she would have made her influence felt.
AS it was, Louis Philippe married
Princess Marie Amelie, daughter OF the
king of Naples, while Abigail Willing, Of
Philadelphia, who might have been
queen of France. became plain Mrs.
Richard Peters.

Mat, Driscoli and Two Young Men Have
I" Hair Raising Experience.
I Three Billings people had a narrow
escape from drowning Wednesday, in
the Yellowstone river and it was an
experience they do not care to have re-
peated. Matt Driscoll, Eldredge Craw-
ford and Fred Tillery left the city
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon with a
load Of seed potatoes which they were
going to plant on some land rented by
the former across the river. They were
driving two.horse spring wagon and
going over forded the river near the
Meadow ranch. About 2 o'clock in
the afternoon Oh their return they
crossed the river at point below where
they formerly forded and after getting
out into the stream the horses were
knocked off their feet by coming to a
treacherous bottom in the river, and
the wagon and occupants, together with
the animals were soon taking a journey
down stream. Mr.. Driscoll and Mr..
Tillery soon left the wagon and swan
ashore, but young Crawford, not be.
ing a swimmer, was obliged to stay Oh
the vehicle until rescued by some men
who had put out from the shore in
boat. During the excitement incident
to the rescuing Of young Crawford, one
of the horses had jumped up in the
water and came down over the tongue
Of the wagon, thereby holding it's mate
under the water until it drowned. The
weight of the dead animal and wagon
was too much for the other horse and
it soon went under.
The loss is heavy one, but the party

Clay Clement Comes to Billings Next
Week IN His New Play.
Mr.. Clay Clement has followed no
school in his playwright, nor III the
manner Of his production. There are
many delightful points in "The New
Dominion" that no one but Mr.. Gle.
ment would have thought out. The
pretty story about a flower is q pure
gem and said to have been introduced
in the second readers Of some Of the
western states. The comedy episodes,
where he teaches the Virginia girl the
German alphabet, is an unaffected and
entertaining bit Of real art. This play
of emotions is not severely contracted,
but in the mellow impressionist shad.
ing Of the character he impersonates
there is nothing to study without SEN
sational emotionallsm. There is a
strong gentlemanlv scene when the
baron rebukes an insolent southerner
that results in repeated curtain calls
for the star.
The play is love episode with just
enough plot in it on the part Of we'll.
sketohed villain to charm an audience.

that he may have the material for the

REFRESHING COMEDY.
"The New Dominion" just Suits the
Theater-Goers Everywhere.

"The New Dominion" just suits the
Theater.Goers Every ywhere
In these days of over.rateT variety
people and offensive problyfn plays, it
is as refreshing as a breatko of spring to
witness delightful comedy free from
the taint of "wpmen Nth past and
the man with "viNainous presents, "
such as it presented by Clay Clement.
The atmosphere and situations Of 1.-THE
New Dominion" are delightful, and
the play itself is one Of the sweetest
and cleanest. although not one Of the
best known on the contemporaneous
stage. Mr.. Clement has with him a
company Of more than ordinary merit,
and it seems that the people Of the city
should be glad of al opportunity to dis
play their appreciation. It is not very
often that theatrical matters are dis.
cussed in the editorial columns Of a
newspaper, but the present occasion
calls for more than the ordinary per.
funotory notice. To gentleman and
an actor who has unusual ability and
whose aspirations are all On the side Of
genuine dramatic art and the very best
of stage literature, it is a pleasure to
especially commend. Mr.. Clement is
one of that class, with his intelligence
and nice dramatic art. is restless and
eager for distinction. He is not content
to ramble along in the ranks Of the
players army. For this, he is to be
praised. "Show me a contented slave"
