 The boy was thrown on log, one of the many being washed down the creek. The log was driven into a piece of high ground and stuck fast. Several hundred yards below the boy heard his mother crying for help. He answered her, but was afraid to trust himself to the swift current.
 At the second answer he heard a horses whinny, and, the animal ap- peared swimming out from the bank. It came to him and rubbed up against him. He then quit his hold on the log and grasped the horses harness, when the animal swan with him to the bank.
 There he must have become uncon- scious, as it was midnight when he reached a farmhouse half mile away, and the watch found on his mothers body had stopped at nine o'clock.

GIRL MANAGES BRICK YARD.
She Masters Every Detail of the Business and Makes Money

Perhaps Owensboro, Ky, has the only young lady in the country who is en- gagged in the business of manufactur- ing brick and who can lay brick as rapidly as any man and do any kind of work in connection with the man ufacture and use of brick that a man can do and perform it as rapidly. She is Miss Ida Hafner, and operates an extensive brick manufacturing plant in the lower end of the city. She has been known to dig and cart the clay for 5000 bricks in a day and to wheel and set 10000 bricks in day. She is assisted by her mother and a younger sister, and many of the residences and business houses of the city were built with brick made by them.
 About four years ago the husband and father, who had built up the largest brick industry in the city, died and left widow and two daugh- ters. Miss Ida took up the business where her father left it and has con- ducted it with marked success. She and her mother and the younger. sis ter have built their own home, which is a handsome structure, and they are rapidly accommodating money and proDerty

STORY OF TOUGH LUCK.
Southern Brothers Who Have Twice Missed Great Fortunes i'm
 Boring for Oil.

There are two men in Texas who are gritting their teeth, and swearing between grits, nowadays, says a Cin- oinnati Enquirer correspondent.
 The two men are brothers, and they missed fortune. They owned the land on whicH the famous Lucas gusher was struck at Beaumont, Tex, and gave it up only short time be- fore the fortunate owner struck his bonanza. They settled on the land about a year ago and drilled for oil. At a depth of about TOO feet they struck a flow of ten or fifteen bar rels day, and then sat down to rest and enjoy their income. Ten barrels a day wasn't much, and they finally got tired and went to Silver Lake to see if they couldn't do better. They gladly disposed of their Beaumont land for small sum, and were high ly pleased with the change of terri tory when they struck a little larger flow at Silver Lake. When they were busy congratulating themselves on their good luck the Lucas we'll was sunk on the former property to dis tance of ], 400 feet, and the biggest gush- epever knownwas struck. If those two brothers had gone down 600 or TOO feet more they would have been worth millions to-day, instead of plug ging along with a little old 20-barrel we'll.
 That isn't their first experience, either. A few years ago they bought some land in West Virginia and cleared off the timber, making quite tidy sum. They sold the land for few thousand dollars and went to Texas to hunt for oil. Iron was dis covered on the West Virginia land shortly after they disposed of it, and $1, ,ooo, ,ooo wouldn't buy it now. These two men certainly have cause to be- wall their luck

MEXICAN GHOST STORY.
Woman Who Had Been Regarded as Dead for Five Years COnfesses
 to n Priest.

A curious story comes from small town in the state of Puebla, reports Mexico correspondent of the Mem phis Commercial Appeal. A mission ary priest named Patre Pimentel, stay l ing there, stated in a sermon he preached that he was visited by a i youth named Daniel Diaz, who begged him to go to his house and confess his sister, who had been dead five years, | and who had appeared to him, be- seeching him to call on the mission aries to assist her out of purgatory." The padre says that, despite the | fears which were aroused by this strange request, he determined to go, and took for his companions Mariana Mellado and two sacristanes. On reaching the house, which was a | gloomy place, he was conducted to cheerless room, where he seated him. self and immediately became aware of a floating vaporous figure, while at the same time he heard "creal1ing of bones." The wretched young woman made her confession, and, on being absolved, disappeared suddenly.
 | The padre states that the awful ex- PCI1CuCc DIOuSiit OAA q SONCiC lilllCSS, but that since his recovery he has de- termined to make the fact known, shat others may not be exposed to the same long durance in purgatory for want of absolution.
 The news of this occurrence has | spread like wildfire, and the mission aries have been the recipients of hand some contributions since it took place.

HORSE RESCUED HIM.
Boy Is Saved from Certain Death by Q Remarkable Display Of

Cleveland (O.) reports say that the almost human sagacity of the horse was demonstrated when 11-year-old Ray Campbell, whose mother was drowned in a cloudburst, told his ex- perience during the frightful night.
 According to the boys story, he and his mother were driving along the road about nine o'clock, the wa ter being well over the animals knees. The rain was yet falling in torrents, and it was as dark as pitch.
 Suddenly the horse stopped Mrs. Campbell hit it with the whip, but it

 'How long does it take you to visit these people?"
 "Generally I can get over my route in a day.
 Suppose every one of them should pay up?"
 'sThat would be fine!"
 70, it would, would it? What would you do for living if every body paid promptly?"
 The collector turned the thought over in his mind for 9 moment or two, and looked blank.
 ''Graciousl" he said, "I'd be out of job!' That's exactly my point. Don't, therefore, be so internally anxious to collect every cent due to your peo- pie at one time. A few collections day are enough. As for my account, come around some day next week, and I may help you out of business by paying it. Good day."

In handling fishes it requires cer- tain amount of care to avoid being cut by the fins, which in some species are to some extent poisonous. The Key West fisherman has an unbounded hor- TOT of being bitten by almost any. kind of fish, as he fears blood poisoning will set in, although according to those who have studied the question there seems to be very little fouEda- ton for this fear.
