Why HOWARD DIDN'T DROWN
OId-Line Reporter in a shaw
neetOvvn Flood.


ST remember story about Phoeian
Howard" says Senator Mason, ac-
cording to the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
(which has never been printed, and
which I have always thought good.
The city of Shawneetown was under
going its periodical inundation from
the floods of the Ohio river, and
Phocian Howard was sent down by a
Chicago paper to write up the calam-
ity. This is the story as Phocian tells
it:
"'I found everything under water,
and L hired one-legged, suffering
boatman to row me over the town
We got along all right until we came
to the cemetery. Then, in trying to
read the inscription on a monument,
I leaned over so far that 1 lost my
balance and tumbled into the water.
Down I went and came up again, and
struggled to reach the boat. L could
not swim lick, and the boat was out
of reach. 1 saw the boatman waving
his wooden leg and struggling to say
something. 1 went down again, think
ing to myself, "Here I am, a first
class man in a second-class town,
drowning in a third-class graveyard.
Too bad" I came up again, still out
of reach of the boat. I knew 1 was
sure to drown if 1 went down again,
so L made desperate struggle. The
boatman was still iourishing his
wooden leg and wiggling his mouth,
trying to say something. This was
kept up till just as I was going down
again. when he broke the pickering
string and shouted:
''' "St-st-st-stand up" I stood up
and found that the water came about
to nv XVaist'''

SCHOOLS in Porto Rico,

The expense Of maintaining schools IN
Porto Rico is very high if we consider the
amount spent for the small number of pupils
enrolled. Education, however, is always es-
sential to success In our country the peo-
pie are being educated to the fact that there
is sure cure for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and malaria, fever
and ague, and that medicine is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Try it. Our Private Die

Parndise cor sportsmen.

To him who knows not where to go, there
can be no better place suggested than the
Pocono mountains, lying in the northeast
ern part of Pennsylvania, along the beauti-
health, or sport, you can hardly experience
the latter without acquiring the former.
The elevation of the mountains varies from
1000 to 1000 feet, and are one dense growth
of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other
large game are plentiful, and though the
region is visited by thousands of sportsmen
every year, there seems to be no noticeable
decrease in the attractions offered. The
Pocono mountain hotels, camps and game
preserves are readily accessible by. the
Lackawanna Railroad, the great trunk line
between New York and the Great Lakes.

The Family Home Run.

The national game is frequently produc-
tive of ''home runs" and one of the most
interesting of this variety of tallies was
made by a Philadelphia batsman in Chicago.
He hit the ball squarely, and drove it over
the right field fence 1t entered the window
in the second story of house, rolled down
the back stairs into the kitchen and lodged
in a pan of dough under the stove The nat
ural inference is that the family partook the
next day of ball-bearing bread.-Youth's

An Incomplete House.

We run wild over the furnishings of a
house; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pic
lures and music, and always forget or neg
!ect the most important requisite. Some
thing there should be always on the shelf
tacks of pain. Such come like thief in
the night; a sprain, strain, sudden backache,
toothache or neuralgia attack There is
nothing easier to get-than bottle of St.
Jacobs Oil, and nothing surer to cure quick
ly any form of pain. The house is incom-
plete without it. Complete it with a good
supply.

Care of the CompIexion.

Many persons with delicate skin suffer
quently the trouble arises from the use of
impure soap and cheap salves. The face
and hands should be washed only in clear,
hot water with Ivory soap. A little mutton
tallow OF almond oil may be used after the
bath to soften the skin. ELIZA r. PARKER.

MIDNIGHT BLAZE.
House Of E. B. MeCracken on Eighth Street
Destroyed.

The house OF E. B. McCracken on
South Eighth street, occupied by Ed
ward thinner, caught fire at midnight
Monday and was totally. destroyed, to-
gether with all the household furniture
of Mr.. thinner. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but it is thought to have
been of an incendiary nature. Nobody
was at home at the time. Mr.. thinner
is carpenter and has been working on
the new Alfalfa bridge across the Yak
ina river, at which place he has been
camping with his family. The owner Of
the house lives on a ranch up the Selah
valley. Nobody had been about the
house for several days, except party in
whose charge the work of irrigating the
garden and trees was left. When dis
covered the fire had such Roadway that
before water could be turned on it was
pretty nearly destroyed. Nothing was
saved OF the furniture. The house was
insured for 500, but there was nothing
on the contents. The loss is about $500.

with either the Denver and Rio Grande
or Colorado Midland Railroads. This
route not only carries the passengers
through the heart OF the Rocky noun
tains and in view of the most magnifi-
cent scenery on the continent, but it
also provides for stop-over on railroad
and Pullman tickets at quaint and pict-
|uresque Salt Lake City, Glenwood
Springs, Manitou, Denver, etc. Through
Pullman palace and ordinary sleepers,
free reclining chairs cars and perfect
dining car service via this route to Den
