Passenger and

As soon as the frightened passengers
had reEained their wits, three men and
the conductor en- cred the car and the
women were carried TO a drug store.
Mrs Norton quickly revived. but Mrs.
Stapleton regained consciousness very
slowly
A policeman teIephoned for an ana
hulance. After waiting nearly hall an
hour he telephoned again and was ju-
formed that the Roosevelt ambulance
were busy and that one would be sent
from Bellevue.
Ambulance Surgeon Vose examined
Mrs. Stapleton. but could fnd no burns.
He discovered. however, that her right
leg was paralyzed. The woman was
hystericaL He administered an anti
date and she quieted down. Tf,sn he
asked her her name.
She could not speak.
Dr. Vose handed her a pencil and sheet
Of paper. and she wrote her name. age.
and address. She was then taken to
Bellevue.
One Of the physicians said It was the
strangest case he had ever seen. The
young woman's head appears perfectly
clear, and her Jaws are not locked. but
she cannot utter a word or sound Of any
kind. When first examined her tongu,
was blue. but it quickly resumed its
natural color.

After Seyentv-ffye Years.

Last week the publishers of The
Youths Companion enjoyed visit
from one of their seventy-fve-year
subscribers, Mr.. r. W. Peabody, of
Chicago, now ninety-one years old,
who had been spending few weeks in
New England. He is one of the few
subscribers On record who have taken
The Youths Companion continuously
since it's first issue, April q, 1927.
The letter in which he sent his origin
al subscription was one of the first he
ever wrote. Through young man
hood, maturity and old age, through
times of war and times of peace, in
New England and in the West,
through all the last seventy-fve years
of his life, his one constant compau-
ion has been the old Youths Compan-
ion.
The growth of The Companion itself
from the first small four-page issues
to the great family paper of the pres
ent is merely typical of the growth OF
the country during Mr.. Peabody IS
lifetime.
The regard Mr.. Peabody holds for
the paper is not because of its age,
but because the paper, although the
same in purpose in it's last issue as in
that of seventy-fve years ago, has
kept pace with all the extraordinary
developments of these three genera
tions, and instead of growing old has
grown young in enterprise, in origin
ality, and in the ability to know and
supply the literary wants of the Am
erican family.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1902-04-03

The cruel high-handed manner in
which those respected veterans, Ad-
miral Schley and General Miles, have
been treated by the administration
ought to arouse a strong spirit of re-
sentiment through out the United
States. In discussing the Roosevelt
Miles controversy Henry Watterson
has the following to say in a Wash
ington interview:
Little need be added to what has
been said already as to the case of
Gen. Miles. From the day when he
refused to become an orderly for the
administration he was marked for
punishment.
The president fairly leaped at the
first chance to assan and humllIate
Gen. Miles that offered itself, or
rather that seemed to offer itself, for
he had as a matter of fact no authOri-
ty either under the Constitution OF the
United States or the articles of war to
reprimand the general except Tor a
single Offense.
AS | have repeatedly shown without
contradiction or denial, the only act
for which, under the arJlCleS OF war
the President may reprimand an Off
Ger is indecent behavior at divine
worship. Gen. Miles has not as yet
been accused of that.
Retirement is the club which Is held
by a chance occupant of the White
house over the head of the lieutenant
general of the army, who was hghtlng
the battles of his country when our
Duissant presidential brOnChO, buster
was fighting the battles of the nurs-
ery. Just now this club is particular
" in evidence, the occasion being
Gen. Miles opposition to the admin
istration's new army bill.
This bill ought to be entitled An
act to make the President OF the Unit
ed States a military dictator" be-
cause in effect that is precisely what
it proposes.
