Massillon, Nov. IS.
The panther at large in the vicinity
of Brookfeld, west of this city, and
which was shot and badly wounded by
a son of Charles Miller, as exclusively
stated in The Times on Friday. even
ing, has gone on the war path for sure.
path for sure.
1t will be remembered that search
ing party has been in quest of the
huge beast for two days but without a
sight of 1t. A man who had not lost
any panthers sa wit Thursday for the
last time and then he was SO badly
frightened he knew not what to do.
The animal was then near the Walters
farm.
Friday night the beast went on a
rampage as II to even up for its
wound from gun shot and the chas.
ing 1t had received. Goaded to ex-
treme lengths to secure food 1t killed
a 200 pound hog, the property of Mrs.
Catherine Kern, widow, just as the
shades of night were falling. Part OF
the carcass was devoured.
The snow set people to thinking the
animal could be tracked. Accordingly
twelve men took up the search and are
at 1t yet. The trail is quite plainly
discernible In places and 1t is thought
the beast will be brought to bay within
"a hours or maybe within a shorter
period. The men say they will not
give up upt1l the community is rid OF
the obnoxious animal.
The scare among the people deepens
since the killing of the hog. Many are
afraid to venture out of doors and
children cannot be induced to leave
the protection of their homes. In
deed, parents feel safer while their chill
dren are at home for 1t is feared the
animal will develop hankering for
human flesh and attack young folks
1t is not thought the beast would be
brave enough to attack grown persons
The widest excitement reigns In
Brookfield, the like of which that quiet
hamlet never saw before. Guns and
ammunition are in demand beyond
price.

FIJlAN FIRE CEREMONY.
Natives who Walked Over Red II Hot Stones
with Impunitv.

Natives who Walked Over Red lot Stones
with Impunitv.
Two New Zealand medical men, Drs
Hocken and Colquohoun, recently Wis
tied Fiji, where they had an opportu-
ceremony of the natives. 1t is so rare
that the power is now confined to a
single family living on an islet 20
miles from the Fijian metropolis,
Suya. These people are able to walk,
nude and with bare feet, across the
white-hot, stony pavement of huge
oven.
An attempt was made on this occa-
sion to register the heat, but when the
thermometer had been placed for a
few seconds about five feet from the
oven 1t had to be withdrawn, as the
solder of the covering began to melt.
The thermometer then registered 2S2
degrees, and DR.. Hocken estimates
tnat the range was over 400 degrees.
The fire walkers then approached,
seven in number, and in single file
walked leisurely across and around the
oven. Heaps of hibiscus leaves were
then thrown into the oven, causing
clouds of steam, and upon the leaves
and within the steam the natives sat
or stood. The men were carefully ex-
amined by the doctors before and af-
ter the ceremony.
The soles of their feet were not thick
or leathery, and were not in the least
blistered The men showed no symp-
toms of distress, and their pulse was
unaffected. Preliminary tests failed
to show that there had been any spe.
cial preparation. Both doctors, while
denying that there was anything mi.
raculous about the experiment, ex-
pressed themselves as unable to give
any scientific explanation.-LondoD

OF Two Bottles Beware.

Recently the press of New York con-
tanned lengthy reports of the death by
suicide of a celebrated actress and many
editorial homilies were written thereon.
The most truthful and suggestive was
short editorial in the New York Journal,
closing with these words:
But as a warning to others and for the
sake of accuracy, it is necessary to empha-
size this fact:
The young woman died close to table,
and on the table were a half filled cham
pagne bottle and bottle of whisky"
Those two bottles told the story of the
suicide. Those bottles and their brothers
and sisters which had preceded them ON
that or some other table gave the dull
color to the world and the hopeless look
20 the future which drove the girl to sui
eide. The world is none too easy, men
are none too reliable, and they are GER
tainly ungrateful to the women who bear
them first and tolerate them afterward.
The whole atmosphere OF life is filed with
sings and arrows that keep us dodging.
But the first thing to dodge is that whisky
bottle and that champagne bottle which
were found on the table beside the dead
yirl.-National Advocate.

There's Poison In That Glass.

They evidently started out with the de-
termination of enjoying themselves no
matter who might be annovod by their
jestng and profanity. At midnirht. when
some of the passengers were trying to
sleep the noise of glasses was heard-one
of the party was taking from his satchel
a bottle from which he poured into glass
the fiery liquid. As he sat looking at it
"giving its color in the cup" lady sitting
near said in solemn tones. "Young man,
there's poison in that glass" Immediately
all eyes were turned toward him as he sat
pale and motionless. holding the glass be-
fore him. His companion said with much
feeling, That is true and I ~ have been

glass aside.
Science proves that alcohol is poison.

mains alcohol. 1t is Stunned and cast out

contrary it destroys the mind. skaters
the nerves. vitiates the blood and, worse
than all, ruins soul and body.
Young man, are you willing to rim the
risk for the momentary qualification of
taking glass? 1t may be the fatal glass!
Stop and consider. A single glass of
liquor has brought many young man to
the penitentiary or pallows.
Then flee to the Saviour; ask to be de-
livered from the evil appetite seek for
giveness, and He will hear and answer in
peace.
Samuel J. Kennedy, the dentist. recent
y tried for the murder of Dolly Reynolds,
gave out these words of warning to young
men and young women:
Do not touch the first drop of wine or
liquor. Shun them as you would snake.
Because if you do not they will ruin you

Preferred Water to Wine.

For over fifty years Dennis Swenic has
served the Fire Department of Chicago,
beginning at the bottom and rising to the
complete control. He now retires because
his physician thinks it best for him to do
so, and much against the wishes of the
property owners and fire underwriters of
Chicago. He attributes his success as a
Ere fighter to his temperance habits. AT a
social luncheon at which the chief was a
guest it was noticed that while wine
flowed freely he drank only water. A
friend asked him if he was opposed to
wine drinking. Not for others" said the
chief, but l never know when [ may be
summoned to exercise my clearest judg-
ment in order to prevent a serious loss of
life and property, and l could never for
give myself if at such a time l should
make mistake, and had the least reason
for thinking that my mental powers had
been in some degree impaired through the
influence of alcohol"
For similar reason all our great rail
road companies require that their en-
ployes shall abstain from the use of intoxi-
canCS. !.

The cost of harvesting wheat on tho
Pacific coast has been so lessened by
the use of automobiles that a greater
amount of the grain can be produced
at the same actual expense than In the
Argentine Republic, where labor costs
only a fraction Of dollar day. The
large automobile traction engines, now
used in California, are of so horse
