The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the

witched. A witch doctor was called In,
and after studying the case, instructed the
milkmaid to pour some of The milk into a
shallow pan then get good hickory stick
and thrash the milk until not drop of it
remained. The milkmaid obeyed the in
strucHons with a vengeance. The next
day 1t was confidently reported that an old
woman Witches are nearly always old
women residing i'm the neighborhood was
suffering from a sore back. The writer
never learned whether the exorcism i'm
proved the quality OF the milk.
Fifty years ago the belief in witchcraft
was one of the most prevalent of all super
sfitions in Berks and Lehigh. Witches
were supposed to be able to transform
themselves into animals. notably cats, and
to this day in many a Pennsylvania Ger
man family, thrilling stories are told Of
strange, huge black cats, followed by SICK
ness in the family which these sinister
creatures had visited. If witch doctor
could be secured in time to shoot at the
cat and hit her, no evil results would fol-
low, and IL would be certain, also, that
some one in the neighborhood would re-
ceive charge of shot in some portion of
his body. II no person was found in the
vicinity suffering from a gunshot wound
IL simply proved that the witch must have
lived In another locality. 1t was a poor
witch doctor who could not furnish some
excuse for his failure Nevertheless, ow-
ing to such traditions, hundreds of intelii-
gent people In this part of Pennsylvania
cannot be prevailed upon to shoot cat
not that they believe Il Is anything else
than a cat but they have an indehnabie
dread Of impending i'll luck.
Powwowing is stin believed in 10 a great
extent by the Pennsylvania Germans. and
the belief IS by no means confined TO the
ignorant The services of the powwower
nowadays are mostly sought by persons
suffering from burns sciatica, rheumatism,
sore eyes. and erYsipelas. Powwowing
consists simply in stroking the afflicted
parts three times with the palm Of the
hand and recitiug certain formulas, which
vary with the character Of the ailment
After the stroSing process the powwower
blows over the seat Of the disease three
times. The formulas used are never re-
neatad aloud and never revealed until the
nowwower retires from business. Then

wITCHcRAFT IN Pennsylvania.

Husbands Method of Getting Back
Wife Who Had Deserted Him.
Allentown (Pa.) Dispatch in Chicago Trib-
une.
A few days ago a man went to Reading
in search of his wife, who had left him
and came to this city He made some in
euires, and when he learned that she was
iii Allentown he said he would make no
further search for her, as he was salts
fled that she had been bewitched, or that
she would never have deserted him. Now
that he knew where she was, he would
go home take a pair of her stockings and
boil them a whole day. This would break
the spell under which she was laboring
and cause her such uneasness that she
would gladly return home In fact, the
boiling of the stockings would force her
to return, and also nfict great pain upon
the individual who bewitched her. This
was by no means an isolated case Of the
kind, for the belief In witches and witch
craft is still strong among the people of
Lehigh and Berks counties Here is a
ease that came under the observation of
the writer not long ago. A tenant of a
farmer In Berks had two-year-old child
who had not yet begun 10 teethe. The
parents consulted their neighbors as to
what could be the matter and concluded
old and somewhat eccentric woman in the
neighborhood who was not on good terms
with the parents Of the child was at once
suspected.
A witch doctor was called in. He agreed
with the parents as to the guilt of the old
woman. and promised TO work a charm
which in a short time would cause the
witch to have sore gums and then the
teeth Of the child would appear. The
witch doctor refused to explain the pro-
cess, saying that TO do so would destroy
its efficiency. Fortunately the parents
were prevailed on to call In a physician,
who lanced the gums of the child, ana in
due course of time the teeth appeared.
Shortly afterward it was rumored, how
ever, that certain old woman was suf
fering grevously from sore mouth.
Some time afterward another example of
how a witch used her powers to annoy
farmer came under the observation of the
writer One of the cows of a farmer which
had PREVIOUSLY possessed an excellent repu-
tation for producing rich milk suddenly
gave forth milk that absolutely refused to
be converted into butter. This was suf-
cient evidence that the COW had been be-

A nations pride is often taught her by
deeds of fame, midst direful slaughter
Proud Scotland's soma hero he,
Who piped away so wonderously,
While life ebbed out in battle free,
with legs shot off in the melee,
His body braced gainst boulder gray,
Clear rang his notes above the fray,
And filed all hearts like surging sea!
Which bears men on to victory.
They hurled them on the foe so CORY
Inspired by noble rage for glory.
Some souls rise high in mortal throe
And weakness they seem not to know.
Staunch heart, with JOY of battles glow,
His pipe though wordiess, ordered go! (
Through shot and shell, Ii must be so

a trying time. Sometimes it is found
that certain color effects or bits Of

Out on the sidewalks the whole live-long
night,
Men are discussing the on-coming fight,
Every street corner is owned by a crowd
Boisterous, banterhg, blatant and loud;
Hundreds of hirelirkss, dirty galoots,
Reek with the odors of fragrant cheroots;
Candidates various points are compared
Weighed and commented on; nothing is
spared.
Men who were always so quiet and mild,
Yell like Comanches; the city is wild,
Arguments often are followed by blows;
Friendships are forfeited; friends become
foes;
Often the echoes resouhd with a whack,
Marking the fall of a brother in black;
Motley and menacing mobs bar the way;
Timid pedestrians holding at bay;
Speechmakers luridy yen and cavort.
Swearing no votes will be sold or be
bought;
But in the crowds the ward-heelers are
seen,
Flashing and fourishng tempting long
green;
Voters are button-holed banded about,
Flattered and fondled, then plunged into
doubt;
Herded together and prodded and punched
Driven to ginmills and liquOred and lunchr
ed; u
Banners, grotesque and ridiculous things,
Standards of cliques and political rings
Borne by the seething and turbulent
throngs,
Promise to rectify every mans wrongs;
Music discordant, internal and foul,
Aids in prolonging the horrible howl.
Though the excitement is highly Intense,
These are but shadows of coming events.

ALnugh in Church.

From the Pittsburg Times.
She sat on the sliding cushion,
The dear wee woman of four;
Her feet, in their shiny slippers,
Hung dangling over the floor;
She meant to be good; she had promised,
And So with her big, brown eyes,
She stared at the Westinghouse windows
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away al the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees,
She thought of broken basket
Where curled in a dusty heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with fringed
ears
Lay snuggled and fast asleep.
Such soft, warm bodies TO cuddle,
such queer little hearts 10 beat.
Such swift round tongues to kiss,
Such spraying, cushiony feet;
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satny skin,
And a cold, wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch 1t
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, Bless the child, y
AS each one walked from a nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.
