having made $jo,cO0 by hard work, and
losing it through the spendthrift habits of
his onIy son. Edward Hawkney died in the
almshouse, at the age CT eighty-one. He
was buried in the paupers burylng-
ground. In the same almshouse Edward
Hawkney, the spendthrift son. is confined,
hopelessly insane from dissipation.
The senior Hawkney amassed his fortune
by careful attention TO his trade OF
carpenter and observing economical habits.
He educated his son for a physician, send
ing him abroad to perfect his education.
The son was at one time member OF the
Bellevue Hospital corps, in New York, but
was obliged to leave there owing to his
love for liquor.
The downfall OF the only son broke the
old mans heart, and the money he had
saved was used up in getting the boy ont
of scrapes. A year ago the father was
taken 10 the almshouse, and six weeks ago
the boy followed him.
II is only a question Of a short time
before the son is laid at rest beside his
father in a paupers grave.

proof that it is efficacious and that 1t has
at last placed the curing Of disease INTO

just catch a glimpse OF the approaching
twentieth century. that we have placed
before US a method whereby ali diseases
can be cured and we need no longer fear

out of this enormous number il was shown

Taken TO Jail.

LEBANON, Pa, Jan. 20-At his own
request, John ii. Light, well-known
Swatara township farmer, is q prisoner in
the county Jail, confessed forger. Busi-
ness troubles and a stricken conscience
are believed to have affected his mind, with
the result that he contemplated taking his
own life. His plan Of self-destruction was
thwarted. and this led him to surrender
himself to the authorities.
Recently Light, who formerly kept a
store here, became financially involved,
and to liquidate some Indebtedness he
forged the signature Of E. ]. Bomberger. a
Union township farmer, to a S75 note.
This action troubled him much, and sew
eral days ago, when Sheriff Oberholtzer
seized his property, his mind became af-
iected and he resolved on suicide to end
his troubles.
Twice he was in the act of carrying the
design into effect when he was disturbed,
and losing his nerve, he begged the off,
GERS to believe his story of the forgery and
lock him up. Only when he threatened 20
kin himself was he taken in custody, and
an investigation of his story was made,
with the result that it was found to be
true.
