Wellesley Students Bind SopIIs in tt.x
Woo Is and Paint Their Faces.
twenty-five girl sophomores of We'll
lesley College were bound hand and
foot, had their faces painted bright
green and were left in the woods ole
night recently by their schoolmates of
the Junior class. Class feeling was STIR
red when the juniors discovered that
the sophomores had planned to witness
their secret ceremony of burning
forensics." This usually takes place
on the evening of tree day." but in
order to outwit the sophOmOres it was
set one night ahead. By four differ
ent routes the juniors after dark pro-
ceeded to a lonely spot in the woods.
Their first trouble arose when as the
first party neared the appointed place
they met a freshman. They were in a
quandary for a moment, but finally
forced the intruder to accompany
them.
The captive was tied to tree near
by and a guard stationed about her,
while the others began preparations
for the ceremony. Sentries were post
ed to give warning of intruderS. Each
girl donned a white sheet and a long
black and white mask; wood was gath
cred for a bonfire and each Junior
lighted two candles and held them.
Shrill whistles and cries of "She's es-
oapedv startled the silent gathering
just as the bonfire had been started.
Everyone made a rush to the spot

Dried Fruit Abroad.

Washington-The prospect for an I'M
precedented export of American dried
fruits, apricOts, peaches and pears, as
we'll as evaporated apples and rasp--
berries to Germany this autumn and
winter is exceedingly bright, says Con-
sul-G eneral Mason, at Berlin, provided
the crop in the United States is suffici-
emily plentiful to furnish a large sup
ply at reasonable prices. Mr.. Mason
say that the supply cf dried American
fruits last year was insufficient to meet
the demand of the German market, but
that large contracts have been made by
American merchants, who after attend
ing the Paris Exposition visited the
principal cities OF Germany and per-
sonally offered their products to the
more important dealers.

GOOD FORTUNE.
How An Enterprising Farmer Struck 1
Rich.
Shattered by Disease. Robert White, while
Endeavoring to Cure Himself, Made a
Fortunate Discovery.
From dc DemOcrqt. .ShelburiNe, Ind,

Near Waldron, Ind, resides Mr..
Robert White, one of the best-known
farmers of the community. He is well
situated, and just now has had an I'M
usual share OF good fortune.
In his earlier days Mr.. White was
strong and athletic, but now, while on
the 0ecIlnIng side of forty, hard work
and disease have made him a different
man, although today he is in good
health.
For a number of years he has been
troubled with rheumatism, catarrh of
the head and stomach. Often in bad
weather his ailments would be aggra-
waited and he would be in a serious
condition.
When The grippe visited this section
seven years ago, Mr.. White was one
of those attacked by this fearful dis
ease and was confined to his bed for
several days. After recovering enough
to sit up for a few days, concluded
he was well enough to get out about
his work.
He went out too soon. Most all pa
tents do that. He had a relapse and
was confined to his bed for several
weeks. His old disorders became
greatly affected. The efforts of his
physician, who had been attending him
all the time, proved unavailing. The
doctor was dismissed. Several others
were tried, but their treatment was
useless.
Mr.. White doctored himself and used
many remedies said to be good for his
diseases, but he was not helped.
He went to Matisville and took the
baths, but they did him only temper
airy good. 1T seemed impossible to
get relief" said he, land 1 did not
known what to do.
cat last 1 was persuaded to try DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
and they cured me- 1 commenced TAX
ing them last June, and after taking
five boxes I was entirely cured. They
relieved me from all suffering. OF
course 1 suffered from rheumatism
most, and 1 am now completely cured
of that. I had tried two catarrh spe-
cialists, who were said to be good for
the trouble, and they each said my
case was incurable. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People cleansed out my
system, purified my blood and I am
now strong and well. These pills re-
lieved me of miserable suffering, and
my only regret is that I did not have
the good fortune to take them seven
years ago. I have recommended the
medicine to a number and the dealer
in Waldron says he has a large de-
mand for it."
1t was natures own remedy that
accomplished this cure caused by i'm
pure blood. for DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are composed of
vegetable remedies that exert power
full influence in purifying land enrich
ing the blood. Many diseases long
supposed by the medical profession to
be incurable have succumbed to the
potent influence of these pills. This
universal remedy is sold by all drug
gists.

Soldiers Perish After Escaping From In
Sur0entS.

Neutrality-suspicious. Macarthur
reports to the War Department that
five soldiers died in the mountains of
Laguna province, after having made
their escape from the insurgents, by
whom they had been captured. The
date of their death is unknown, and
no details are furnished as to the man
ner of their death. 1t is supposed,
however, that they persisted from star
walton after losing their way.
The five were: Hospital corps, Alex

K, Thirty-seventh Infantry, John b.

A Whistling People.

The natives of Gomera. one of the
Canary isles. converse with one an
other by whistling on their fingers. 1t
is possible to understand a message a
mile off. Each syllable of a word has
its own peculiar sound. Gomera is cut
up by number of deep glens, which
are not bridged over, and as it would
otherwise be impossible for the inhab-
itants on separate sides of a glen to
talk with one another without going
a long way round to meet, they have
hit upon the whistling device as the
best means of communication.

Spanish Embezzler.

New York-A dispatch to the Herald
from Valparaiso says it is estimated
that the amount of money alleged to
have been embezzled by the former
Spanish Minister, Salvador Lopez Y
Guijarro, is more than $4,000 The
money belonged to Spanish subjects,
who. are very indignant. Lopez received
the funds from the Chilean government
to pay damages sustained by Spaniards
during the revolution in 1920. Hav-
ing presented his papers for retire
ment, the Minister disappeared with
out paying a cent to the claimants.

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

MISS SARA ERSkINE

died suddenly at Battle Creek, Mich,
on Saturday, Feb. 3, 1900. The news
Of her death was received here with
surprise and sorrow. Miss Erskine
had been under medical treatment,
and seemed to be making good pro-
gress toward recovery. On Saturday
afternoon, greatly to the surprise of
even the attending physicians, heart
failure took place, and in few mo-
ments she had passed beyond human
aid. She was born in Monaghan,
Ireland, but for number of years
past, made her home in this city with
her aunt, the late Mrs. William
Walker. Her devotion to both Mr..
and Mrs. Walker, in their sickness
and old age, is we'll knewn to our
people. About three years ago she
visited her aged mother, in her old
home in Ireland, but returned to re-
sumo her care of Mr.. Walker, whose
death occurred last May. The news
of her mothers death reached her
soon afterward.
A woman of noble, christian char
acter, full of loving kindness for all,
has gone to her reward. Her pleas
ant words and CHEEKY, kindly greeting
will be missed and long remembered
by those who knew and loved her.
Mrs. j. U. Oates, a very close
friend of the deceased, accompanied
by Charles Curtis, left on Monday
for Battle Creek, and returned on
Tuesday with the body. The funeral
took place on Wednesday afternoon,
at her late home, the Walker House,
with intermcnt at Graceland cemetery.
Her pastor, Rev. 7. Kent, otiiciated
after which services were held by the
Order Of the Eastern Star, of which
deceased was a member. The mem
bcrs of this organization, on learning
the sad news, made preparations for
the funeral, and did all in their power
to show their love and respect for
their departed sister. To the be-
reaved relatives who mourn the loss Of
n sister In distant land, is extended
the sympathy of those who knew and
loved her in this, her adopted home,
with the assurance that kind hearts
and hands performed the last sad
rites.
