noon, from old age complications.
Lydia Smith was born in Albany, N.
Y, July 6, 1924, and was married to
John M. Blackington in Rockford, ILL.,,
in 1s43. For good many years she
has made her home with her daughter,
Mrs. Haskell in this city. She has
been in poor health for over year and
bed-ridden since last January. The
funeral services were held on Monday

Loses Six Fine Cows.

Mr.. o. III. Bakken, of Madison town.
ship, had the misfortune to lose six
out of his fine herd of cows on Friday
night. The cattle had been running
in the corn stalks for two or three
weeks and had been well and healthy
seemingly, but were turned into the
barn Friday night and when they
went to the barn Saturday morning
they found five of them dead, and an
other died soon after. The cows were
worth from $35 to $40 each, and it will
be a serious loss for Mr.. Bakken. 1t is
believed that their death was caused
from black smut on the corn.

A THRILLING RIDE.
TIGER CHASES A BICYCLIST IN
THE JUNGLES.
Daring Dash Down Steep Hi
saves the Whselman-Animal Within
Striking Distance of His Rear Tire
A Race for Life.
(Paris letter.

A bicycle race against tiger, with
his own life as the stake. was the
unique experience of a Frenchman,
Paris after seven years walking tour
around the globe. He was encamped
near the village of airing, in India,
where he met tourist with whom he
was soon on friendly terms, and whose
bicycle he borrowed for an hours
spin, the first in two years. Il left the
camp about 1 o'clock" he says, the
machine running beautifully. After
going some little distance l suddenly
found myself in delightful open
glade, which was one mass of verdure
and flowers. Here l dismounted from
the machine, and, placing it against
bush, selected nice spot on which to
rest Straight in front Of me there
was a small watercourse, in which
some pools of rainwater still remain
ed. AS l sat there in contemplation
/ heard a sound in the bed of the wa
tercourse and looking toward the spot
my gaze fell on an immense tiger, then
apparently unconscious of my pres
ence My mind was torn with agony
as to whether I ought or ought not
to make dash for the bicycle and life.
l knew that once astride the machine
in safety 1 could outdistance the tiger.
Then another thought occurred to me
u fancied that il l remained perfectly
still the tiger would drink and then
go away into the jungle again. At
one time l wondered II he could hear
the humping of my heart-beats, and
my mouth was SO parched and my
tongue so stiff that l was in mortal
dread lest I should make some incau-
tious sound. I was entirely unarmed.
Presently saw him drop his beautiful
head again and begin to lap the water
As he raised his head again / knew
that one single false movement on
my part must inevitably attract his
notice. Following every movement Of
tho huge monster with terrible anx-
iety, 1 was at length relieved to see
him apparently about to return into
the jungle whence he had come; but,
alas! some little bird moved in the
bushes around me and the effect was
instantaneous. The tiger stopped sud-
denly and wheeled round like light
ming, his great eyes fixed intently on
the very spot where lay. He paus-
ed for moment, and then, to my in
describable horror, commenced to
creep slowly in my direction. AS the

PATCHES WERE SEAMLESS.
Would You Know How Our Grand
mothers Did It?

mothers Did 1t?
Our grandmothers prided themselves
upon their patching. For a time the
art languished, but, fortunately, dur
ing the last few years, since sewing
was introduced into the public schools,
the children are all being taught the
manifold uses Of the needle, and many
a mother has to confess that her little
daughter can turn out far better
patch than she can herself. Sewing is
fashionable during Lent, and here is a
little lesson on how to insert invisibly
patch in serge, muslin, or any mate
rial easily frayed out: First, cut away
the torn or worn out part, so as to
form either a square or rectangular
opening. Second, to fill up exactly this
hole, cut a corresponding piece from
material of the same texture and
color, allowing on either side margin
which, when frayed out, will form four
projecting tapes in the semblance of
the arms of cross. Third, apply the
patch thus divided into five exact sec
tions or squares in such way as to
have the solid center filling up the
hole to a thread. Tack the four arms
on the foundation framing the hole.
Fourth, thread a fine needle with the
two ends of a thin strand of silk,
doubled in two to form loop; with
this needle and silk darn straight
row radiating from one Of the edges
of the patch. Before drawing the silk
right through, slip into the loop one OF
the frayed out threads, which hold
lightly in place with the thumb of the
left hand. Now pull the needle, and by
this movement both the silk and the
frayed out threads will be drawn into
the material, the smaller or pearl
stitches scarcely showing on the right
side. Be careful to have the darning
started from the very edge of the patch
to avoid any appearance of break.
Repeat thus thread by thread. These
frayed out threads, being about two
inches long, can not be threaded and
darned without some skillful manage
ment, hence their introduction into the
loop silk to drag them through the
running stitches.-Kansas City Jour
pal

slackening Of pace or an extra leap or
two on the part of my terrible foe
would put an end to the race and my
life almost simultaneously. Having
gained little, 1 glanced around and
saw the tiger was still coming on, and
at great pace.
"Just at this moment I saw another
straight road opening before me. You
may judge of my terror, however,
when 1 tell you that as soon as had
turned into this new road I beheld, ly-
ing right across my path, huge tree
charged the obstacle headlong, and,
Just before crashing into 1t, l leaped
from the machine and scrambled over
recklessly, feeling certain that tho
tiger was gaining. 1t goes without
saying that 1 literally threw myself
into the saddle again with frantic en-
ergy, and pedaled away from the in
exorable monster. l heard the tiger
leap over the fallen tree, and, sick at
heart, 1 realized that if the chase
lasted much longer l should have to
give up.
Greatly to my relief, however, a
short distance in front on my left
saw yet another road, and ray Of
hope came to me as l noticed a steep
descent. Driving the bicycle with all
possible speed entered upon the de-
scent like an arrow, and a minute or
so later put fifty or sixty yards be-
tween my pursuer and myself. 1 was
pretty well done for, however-so
much so that at one time l felt must
fall out of the saddle.
"a little farther along 1 looked
round, and the tiger was nowhere to
be seen; evidently he had given up the
chase. Further along 1 met a Hindoo
woman, who directed me to airing, for
1 was then quite lost. and l arrived
| there safely. But that bicycle ride
