TWO PENNIES FOR A LIFE
IOhio State Journal.l

lOhio State Journal
The incident happened on North
High street, but only few Of those
who saw it were witnesses to the ten
der bit of sentiment which made q COM
monplace occurrence a sweet little
story.
& boy and a girl-wee brother and
wee sister-emerged from an alley and
paused doubtfully at the curb before
starting across the trafhc-crowded
street. She was the older, perhaps
nine years of age, and the boy was not
more than six. In one hand she pinched
two pennies and in the other she tight
ly held her brothers. chubby fist. Their
clothes were shabby and their faces
were not clean. The eyes Of both were
fixed in ecstacy on candy store just
over the way, but it seemed the heavy
wagons would never get through pass
ing.
When the opportune moment came
she clasped his hand tightly and start
ed on the perilous journey. She ran
the faster and half-dragged the awk-
ward little fat legs after her. Came
trotting two monster draft horses be-
hind them a heavy wagon with ponder
Gus wheels, and on the seat q man idly
holding the reins and chatting to q
companion beside him. The driver
saw not the two small figures, scurry-
ing like frightened partridges across
his path. The iron-shod hoofs would
have beaten and crushed them down
but for the hero.
He looked like prosperous business
man. His quick eye saw two babies
lives in the balance, and springing into
the street he seized the horses by their
bits, and, with the strength of an ath-
lete, forced the animals back almost
upon their launches. 1t was all done
in the nick of time. The boy had faller
and would have been trampled in ar
instant more. The girl was crying
over him. The gentleman picked W
the baby brother, and, carrying him ir
his arms, set him safely down on the
curb before the candy store. The lit
tie girl followed at his heels.
In her small hand the two pennies
were yet safely pinched. She looked
longingly at the candy store, but onl!
for an instant. Then she opened hel
palm, and, with tears coursing through
her smile, offered the gentleman tw'
pennies for saving her brothers life.
He paused thoughtfully and wipe'
something away from his eyes will
his handkerchief. Then he reache,
into his pocket and selected from
handful Of change silver coin. H
took the little girls hand in his, sh
took her brothers hand again, and tn
three went into the candy store togeth
er. Oh, what feast was there!

A TwO-YEAR=OLD BOY.
fearlessly Climbed 35 Feet to the
Top Of a Windmill.

A thrilling incident occurred one day
last week at the farm of r. L. Wood
burn, near the fair grounds. Newton
Reed, who lives on the place, has
little two-year-old son, who is quite
active and not afraid of anything.
Tuesday afternoon while the men were
working in the barnyard and Mrs. Reed
was occupied with affairs at the house,
this infant child-scarcely able to talk
climbed to the top Of the windmill, a
distance of 35 feet, on the small ladder
that extends up the side of the windmill
tower.
Mrs. Reed discovered the where
abouts of the child, and excitedly
climbed to his rescue, at the same time
screaming to her husband who was
working nearby. The mother was un-
able to accomplish anything by her
heroic effort, but the father who fol-
lowed close behind, swung out around
her, and caught the child in his strong
right arm. For time there was a
painful suspense among eye-witnesses
of the scene who feared that the child's
strength would not hold out until his
rescuers arrived-nor were the several
spectators sure that Mrs. Reed, in her
excited condition, was not likely to
fall.-Mxrysville Tribune.

Horse Starved to Death.

On Saturday, August II, thieves en-
tered the barn OF James Lang, in South
Kenton and stole horse, then went
across the street and stole wagon be-
longing to Mr.. Wetherill. No trace Of
either was found until Thursday even
ing when a telephone message was re-
ceived from Mt. Victory stating that a
horse answering the description of Mr..
Lang's had been found in the Pugsley
woods. The horse had been tied to a
tree and it was plain to be seen the
animal had starved to death. 1t had
broken the tree off in its frantic efforts
to be free, but was still fastened to the
Lart broken off. 1t had eaten all the
grass and branches within reach and
could go no further. 1t had finally
broken loose from the wagon with a
shaft still clinging to it. This made il
still harder for the horse to move about
1t was caught first by one tree then an
other. Evidences of the suffering o.
the animal could be seen all about a:
the ground was stamped and torn uE
and all the near by branches gnawed
In all the twelve days of suffering the
animal moved about in q space no
more than 100 feet in diameter.

London, Aug. 29.-Lady Sarah Will
son, the heroine of the siege of Mafek-
ing, will sail from Liverpool on Friday
for the United States. President Cas-
satt and Mrs. Leland Stanford, of Cali
fornia, will be fellow passengers on the
Celtic. Lady Wilson's experiences in
South Africa read like q novel. She
was an army nurse and correspondent
of q London paper. She alone escaped
from Mafeking. When she attempted
to return she was captured, but subse-
quently exchanged as prisoner of
war for Viljoen, a notorious woman
horse thief.
Lady Wilson's home while in Mafek-
ing was in q bomb-proof shelter under
the house of Julius We'll.
Captain Gordon Wilson, husband OF
this intrepid lady of quality, served
under Baden-Powell, and it was to be
near him that Lady Wilson went to the
Transvaal.

that, in the Philippines, as well as in
Cuba, American control and cleanliness
have been in evidence together. Every

Reports from the capital of the Philip

work has been accomplished in Manila

and contagion.

HAILSTONES SIX
INCHES DEEP
Away Up in the North.

Winnipeg, Aug. pa hail and rain
storm struck Winnipeg shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and con-
tinued with unparalleled violence for
nearly an hour. Hailsto mes were piled
nearly six inches deep in the streets
and the oldest old-timer can recollect
no previous downpour as heavy.
Easements in the city were flooded,
and much damage was caused in whole
sale warehouses and newspaper Off ,es {.
1t is estimated that nearly 5000 panes
of glass were broken during the storm.
The Y. M. c. A. building, in which
the meeting of the Canadian Medical
association was being held, was badly
drenched and the convention proceed

ARMY ON WHEELS.
Use Of Bicycles By Infantrymen
a Success in Recent Eng
lish Experiments.

London, Aug. 27.-Major-Gen Sir
Frederick Maurice attracted consider
able attention about a year ago by his
attempt to prove to British officers that
the bicycle was worth taking more Sc
riously in military maneuvers. He or
ganized a big corps of bicycle volun-
teers for test of his scheme, but their
evolutions were not a great success at
the first trial. Major Maurice has just
tried his plan with a body of 300 cy-
clists at Aldershot. His success was so
complete that many observers and even
some of the professed military critics
predict that the cyclist is to be the
mounted infantryman of the future. At
any rate, it is contended that these AL
dershot maneuvers prove the wheel to
be too good for use only in dispatch
bearing, scouting and accommodating,
as at present.
The l, 300 cyclists, carrying kit, ri fle,
and ammunition, left Aldershot at 8 in
the morning. and reached Bagshot in
perfect order, with intervals and space
preserved, in better time than cavalry
make on the same journey. They were
inspected by the British officers, and
then marched and counter-marched,
moved double. quick, covering twelve
miles in fifty-six minutes, and put
through all the evolutions that would
have been required Of them in actual
warfare. The number of punctured
tires was remarkably small, and there
was surprisingly little confusion.
