without any previous i'll health, she sud-
denly fell into deathlike trance. Just
before animation was suspended she
had been in the best of spirits. The
trance so nearly resembled death that
parents and physicians alike were
bafded. The girl was laid out, and an
absent brother, who was in Chillicothe,
was telegraphed for.
He had just concluded reading let
ter from his sister Nora, and the shock
caused him to swoon. He had scarcely
reached home to Join the other mourn
ers ut his sisters funeral. when their
weeping was changed to amazement
by the girl sitting up in her coffin. Her
awakening was as sudden as had been
the suspension of animation. Without
waning she came out Of her trance,
and as her sstonished relatives gathered
about her she related to them q strange
vision.
While she had been on her bier she
declared that she had dream. She had
seen and talked with the Lord, and he
had told her that she was to dio within
q week. The girl talked about nothing
else that had occurred during heI
trance. She seemingly was unconsciou,

she had received from God.

Monkey Takes Dogs Place.

DR.. w. L. Dancy, of Jacksonville,
Fla, went quail hunting one day and
accidentally shot his dog. He found
q fugitive monkey in the woods and
soon he observed the monkey about so
yards from him, chattering, and beck
oning him with one hand and pointing
into the grass near by with the other.
A covey of quail few up from the grass
near the monkey when DR.. Dancy ar!
rived. Four quail were killed. The
monkey continued pointing during the
rest of the day and was a great deal
more successful than dog would have
been. An Italian claimed the monkey
when DR.. Dancy came out of the woods,

swooped down upon him before he
could make up his mind what to do.
The dog barked savagely, and Schmidt
picked up a atone in q vain effort to de-
fend himself. But before he could hurl
st big crow sunk its beak In his right
cheek. and a score OF Others struck at
him with their talons. They struck him
In the face with their wings, all the
time keeping up a hideous "cawing."
For five minutes the battle continued,
Schmidt all the time hanging onto his
package OF sausage like grim death.
But in one great effort 10 free himself
OF Ms tormentors, he LET the package
fall, and then the battle ended.
The birds fell upon che meat, and In
twinkling the paper was torn 10
shreds, the crows one by one seized a
link. and flew away.
Schmidt, bleeding and with his
clothes torn, made his way, with his
dog, to the farmhouse, and later In the
day the strange case Of "crow hold-up"
was reported TO the police.
The only theory advanced that might
explain the remarkable attack is that
the crows may have been driven to the
attack by extreme hunger. On account
OF the warm weather their fight to the
warm south has beS4 delayed. The
crops are all gathered, and their
source of food IS gone.
To add to Schmidt's misfortunes, his
crops were nearly ruined during the
summer by the crows. AS he expressed

She recovered her senses only to
swoon again. After nearly On hour
OF fainting spells she was prevailed
upon to go out for a walk. The Arst

the girl understood enough to laugh

not think himself SO funny after all,
