Remarkable Sequence Of Accidents,

Chas. Adams, teamster living at ST.
Marys, and employed by the Oil Well
Supply Co. of that place, met with a
fatal accident Wednesday. He was
leading a 500 pound box of bolts on
car when in some manner he lost con-
troll of the box, falling under it, which
was released from its support and pre-
cipitated with terrific force upon Ad
ans body. The unfortunate man suf-
fered untold agony and begged to be
relieved from his sufferings. In one
hour after the accident occurred death
mercifully came to his rescue and freed
his spirit from its crushed and bruised
tenement.
On the following morning another
employe of the company, who had
been helping Adams unload the fatal
box on the previous morning, was en-
gagged in removing a heavy bundle of
sucker rods from the car. He also
slipped and was hurled to the ground,
healforemost, the heavy bundle of
rods striking him on the face and
head. His injuries are not serious.
To complete this remarkable trio of
accidents, happening only one day
apart, driller in the st. Marys oil
fields, desiring to get some pawpaws,
climbed one of the fruIlt-bearing trees,
lost his balance, and fell to the ground,
lighting head foremost. He laid under
the tree for several hours in an un-
conscious condition, until he was dis
covered by several passersby and TAX
en- to his home, where he is at present
in critical condition.
ST. Marys certainly has a remarka-
BILE record fer queer series in acci-
dents which follow each other in reg
ular succession.

LARGE TREE IN ILLINOIS.
An Oak Seventeen Feet In Circumfer-
enee and . 'ads In Glen
coe, Coo, founty.

In'the suburb of siencoe stands the
largest and probably the oldest oak
tree in Cook county. 1t towers
many feet above the other trees OF
the north shore and can be seen from
a distance of miles in any direction.
The tree Is on property owned by
George r Orde, the cashier of the
Northern Trust Company bank. II
stands only 4 fey fest back Of the
street, 4 block and half east OF the
Northwestern railway on Central ave-
nue., the first street running toward
the lake north Of Glencoe station. The
monarch" as it is called by old res
idents of the suburb, measures II feet
in circumference, over five feet in di-
ameter and is estimated to be about
rs feet tall
II can notice but little difference in
the size of that tree from the time
when / first saw it, said Frank New
hall, the patriarch of Glencoe, who
first settled in the suburb genera
tion ago and who st!ll owns 100 acres
in the town "OalS trees grow slow
". When l saw this tree, which is
white oak, over three decades ago it
was almost as large as it is to-day"

HUMAN COURAGE.
The British Type Is Splendid Exhi.
bitiOn, But II Has Been
Costly In Lives.

The German has reliable, staying
dogged courage, writes Julian Ralph
in the London Daily Mail. The French
man has brilliant courage at the call
ct q leader he trusts. The Turk was
myideal Of soldier up to last year, be-
cause he unites with the German sort
OF courage belief that to be killed in
battle is to earn harem in Heaven
and a seat in first-class carriage on
the way. Compare any of these fash
ions in courage with the utter absence
Of It in the Greek and we see by the
record OF the Turko-G Greek contest that
courage is an essential in war.
But British valor is different thing.
1t often seems rushing into and de.
fance of certain death. It recks moth.
ing, avoids nothing, considers nothing.
It imbues an entire regiment, brigade,
army-driving on compander, colonel,
captain, corporal and private all alike.
1t has won all round the globe. 1t sue.
ceeds very often. It sometimes takes
the place Of strategy, it discounts ehor.
nous odds against itself; at times ii
upsets failure at the last moment,
transforming it to success. 1t must,
therefore, be Of great value; but in
judging of that we must take into ac-
count the cost of it--and its cost in hui
man life is very great, indeed

LIFE AND VIG0R ARE GREATER
According TO This Human Existence
~ Longer Than II Was a
Century Ago.

Within half century the average
length Of life has been extended over
ten years. For long time it was fixed
at 33 years, and that is regarded-as the
length of a generation, but now it is
close to 45. 1t is noticeable that with
the lengthening of the average of life
has come the lengthening of the age of
mental and physical activity. The
statistics prove that mental and phys
ic9i vitality are not mere matters Of
years, but that they depend upon ju-
dicious conservation of the vital forces,
says the New York Press.
There can be traced in contempo-
raneous history noticeable increase
in the length of human vitality. In this
day we find men undertaking great en-
terprises at an age when their forbears
were in their dotage and proving them
selves capable of long and sustained
effort equal to that of the most lusty
youth. The number of graybeards on
bicycles gives evidence that the age of
fun physical vitality has been advanced
greatly. The age at which men in our
day go into enterprises demanding
concentration of thought, physical
strength, buoyancy Of spirits and the
sustained courage that can come only
from sound health proves that the man
of mature age is able to do his full share
Of the worlds work.
