A STARTLING SURPRISE.

Very few could believe in looking at
A. t. Hoadley, healthy, robust black
smith of Tilden, Ind, that for ten
years he suffered such tortures from
rheumatism as few could endure and
live. But wonderful change followed
his taking Electric Bitters. "Two
bottles wholly cured me-. he writes,
':and l have not felt a twinge in over

meetings Of this body. as Mr. Rudolph will
present for consideration the question OF
prizes for the best individual decoration
during the encampment, the nature Of such
prizes and the nature of the ceremonies
attending their award. scheme viii be
proposed to the committee whereby every
building along the route of all the parades

decorations In the city will be judged and
every one will have an opportunity to be-

Brigandage in Greece.


For some time past brigandage has been
on the increase in Greece, especially in the
north and northwest OF the Peloponnese.
In the districts of Ellis and Achaia black
mailing. arson and murder had become
quite common affairs, and many complaints
were addressed to the government and even
to the king personally. The most notorious
of these brigands, however, a man named
Ranopuios, spared the country people and
confined himself to extorting blackmail and
ransom from rich merchants thus contriv-
Ing to envelop himself with a certain air of
romance. His last feat was to kidnap the
son of millionaire named Stavropolos
whom he only released on receiving a ram
som of 100000 francs.
The Greek government was at last reused
to take active measures for the capture of
RanopuIos. A reward of 5000 francs was
place and another of 10000 francs for his
body. alive or dead At the same time a
squadron of cavalry and 800 infantry were
sent into the district to effect his capture
and to put down other bands In the neigh
borhood. At length the gendarmerie sue
ceeded in capturing Ranopulos while he was
asleep. and the exploit was considered so
important that the king was immedia tely
informed of It. Ranopulos offered to point
out the spot where he had buried his treas
ure, but when 1t was opened in his pres
ence very little was found, upon which he
declared that 1t must have been rarsacked
by some member Of his band. and in his
despair he had to be forcibly withheld from
throwing himself over a cliff. AS other
brigands have also been captured Rrea
satisfaetionSis felt by the population at be-
Ing rid of their oppressors. but, curiously
enough. while Ranopuios was being taken
through the streets of Patras a noisy DEM
onstration was made In his favor by the
populace.

The talk which followed the reading Of

Adventures of a Red Apple.

The first I can remember of my early ilfc was that l was a tiny pink and white Dud, but as the sweet spring days ad- hsancea my petals opened and became a peautiIui apple blossom. Summer drew nvar, . ana l, by then, became an apple. one September morning a farmer and three other men came into the orchard ana ana began to take the apples from the trees. What will become of us? walled taken to-?
 "A man picked me off the tree. Oh. MT Brown, see this beautyp 'Yes,' said the old farmer, 1t Is a beauty. but new work don't stop at every beauty

 The next thing knew we were on our way to New York. When arrived in New York it was new indeed; all was hustle and hustle after the quiet country life Oh! is this New York? asked several small apples
 We were soon moving again. and some. one said we were going to a store. By and by the top of a barrel was taken of, and we were again in the open air-that Is, those who were near the top; among those l was. I was put outside of the store next, but oh, such different place from what l had expected! On all sides or me were houses and stores, and by and by something came buzzing along and heard someone say it was q trolley ca-''

rather high, and the goalkeeper stopped the puck with his hand. This was certainly un- fortunate.
 After the square-off the rubber was close to the Perseverance goal. Reub Sayles cleared the bunch and was away like flash. He travelled through the center of the field sidestepping the two wings and cover point and shooting goal. Score. 2-1. Jack Hig- gins put the rubber through for another, the result of lively mixup at the goal and the score was now 2-2.
 During the intermisson Treasurer Charley took up collection from the crowd in behalt of the clubhouse fund. The half-hnlshed house on the river bank had been admired generally. and Charley's hat was well filed The sum collected was S2310, which made welcome addition to the treasury
 In the meantime Captain Rex was en- couraging his men. He admitted that there had been too much individual playing too much "grandstand" work, and he told them that team work was necessary If Perscver- ance was to win.
 The playing in the second half was fast and scientific on both sides. For 10 minutes there was no scoring, then the Rangers center got the puck on a poor pass and shot it home. Score, 3-2 Perseverance quickly tied the score on clever combina- tion play, in which faultless passing by the forwards brought the puck so close to the goal that Jack Higgins had no difficulty in sliding 1t between the posts.
 The score was now 3-3, and the crowd cheered enthusiastically. In the excitement several of the onlookers ventured on the weak ice near the north goal, which the Rangers were defending Rex Tieknor got the puck out of scrimmage, and was rush ing with 1t for the goal, when the thin ice At the side gave way and a little girl about 10 years old went through, disappearing in the deep water beneath. Rex turned in-
The age-herald., 1902-03-02

stantly and raced for the break in the ice. The girl came to the surface and clutched the jagged edge of the break. Rex dropped flat on his face about three feet away, and stretched out his stick to the girl, shout ing to her to catch it. She took hold of the stick and climbed out on the ice, which at first broke beneath her weight. She was soon in safety and in the care of willing hands, while Rex was llonized for his cour- age and presence of mind. He laughed his admirers aside and went back to the game as if he had done nothing at all.
 In the last minute of play Bill Stratford got the disk near the center. At a signal from Captain Rex the wings arrayed them selves, one on either side and the three tore down the ice at lightning speed, with Rex following closely in the rear. The formid; able quartet took the Rangers by storm, and soon only the goaltender was to be passed. At this point the real value of the triangu- lar formation was proved. The goalkeeper caught Will on the hip with a body check, but before he could take the puck Rex had rushed forward and caught it in his stick. Had the four-abreast formation been used all four would have been off side when Will was thrown out of the play. AS it was, however, Rex quickly reached the open, and, with a well directed loft. sent the puck spinning between the posts just at the call of time-and Perseverance had won (4-3)!
 The spectators swarmed upon the ice and trlumphantly carried the boys off the field on their shoulders. A bonfire had been built, and Captain Rex doubly the hero of the day, was brought forward and urged to make a speech. This he modestly de- clined to do, but everyone wanted to shake hands with him, and altogether he ''got all that was coming to him." In the joy of their first victory the boys joined hands around the fire and pranced around, shout ing and singing, too happy for restraint
 In the next story we shall learn how the clubhouse was completed and how the boys tried d new and popular game-indoor base. ball.

A Midnight Adventure.

Frances Morris was seated one day in the nursery, telling her little sister Mabel about the circus.
 She had been that afternoon to see the performance, but Mabel, who was suffer Ing from q severe cold, was forced to re- main at home.
 Frances was just telling her of the funny clowns when their older brother rushed into the room.
 ''Oh, Frances" he cried. "a bear has es caped from the circus and they cannot find him anywhere
 Well, he cannot get in the house, we know,' said Frances, trying to reassure Mabel, who began to cry from fright.
 When Mabel had fallen asleep, Frances crept noselessiy from the room.
 About midnight she was awakened by a strange noise down stairs. horrible thought came to her-that 1t might be the bear.
 Each moment added to her terror, so sine resolved to run to her mothers room, at the farther end of the hall.
 There was a dim light burning in the hallway, which made objects discernible, and as she peered over the bannister in her flight. she saw something on the bot tom step that chilled her heart with fright.
 There, at the foot of the stairway, stood the big. brown bear
 She uttered loud, frightened cry, which speedily brought the household to her res cue, and when bruin was captured he proved to be large fur carriage robe, carelessly left on the foot of the stairs by a servant.

upright at the functions, and beams were laid across the tops of these. Beams were then laid to meet a heavy ridge pole in the center, which was supported at either end by beam from the ground frame. All these beams were carefully spiked, and the corner beams were doubled It took all the boys the best part of the afternoon to get thus far. working industrlously. Nothing insecure or slipshod was permitted. George Grahams father, a carpenter, watched the work on Tuesday and gave much helpful advice.
 The hockey team was chosen after the boys had stopped work for the day. Manager Higgins announced game with theRangers, to be played on the ice in front of the club house on Friday This added zest and inter- est to the practice. The boys who had not made" the team formed .'scrub" team. and made the first team hustle. special meeting of the team and "scrub' was held that evening. A book of rules was carefully studied by all, and the boys found that hockey was much more scientific than the shinney they had been playing, although a somewhat similar game. They worked out a number of combination plays on the black. board and agreed upon signaIs.
 On Wednesday the beams for the ends of the house were mortised into tho ground frame, spiked to the roof beams and sawed off fiush During the progress of the work provision had been made for the doors and windows specified in the plans
 Much time was devoted to hockey prac. tice, as the game was to come off on Fri. day The treasury had been drawn upon to equip the team with regulation hockey sticks and skates, and the boys were neatly attired in heavy sweaters, football trousers and stockings. and stout shin guards. A regular hockey puck was used instead of a rubber ball, as formerly, and Il space 5Sx112 feet was marked out on

Why CannibaIS Eat Men.

All children who are now going to school have read about how MT. Stanley went into the jungles of Africa to hunt MT. Living stone. of whom most all treated him very kindly. Now that MT. Stanley no longer travels in the dark wilds of Africa, there are other men who do go, and sometimes meet just as strange things as did MT. Stanley.
 The party under the command of MT Woelfell, which recently went into the same country, the dense forests hack of Ivory Coast, in West Africa. found number Of cannibals of different tribes. They live only about 120 miles back from the coast. and are quite near q French post, and it Is strange, too, that they are so near, for cannlbas have seldom been found in Africa so near the coast. As a rule, they do not live within 300 miles of the ocean, and most of them stay still further away.
 When the white men who were with MT. WOelfell found these strange black men, and asked them why they ate human flesh instead of beast flesh, they replied that "men usually wash themselves three times a day, and, therefore, are much cleaner than beasts, which are never washed"
 These natives have guns and can get powder from Liberia, but lead is most always hard to get, they often use stones and gravel in place of bullets.
 When Mir. Stanley sent Captain Coquilhat to garrison the station he had established, he found the people always ready to de- fend their practice of eating men.
 This Is horrible" said Mir. Coquilhat, one day to chief who was at dinner.
 "On the contrary, 1t is delicious with salt" was the quick reply.

8. Near to everybody's heart-L- n s.
 In all these words. you see, the dropped letters are represented by short dashes; what the player has to do is to write the proper word in each case. It is necessary, therefore, for each player to have list, and if you are going to play the game at recess the lists should be prepared the day beforehand
 In the list here given there are several possible answers to some of the words, which makes the game all the more inter esting.
 The real answers, however, are as fol lows
 1. Mat. 2. Life. B. Hole. 4. Roof. 5. Lots. 6. Draft. '. Dress 8. Lungs.
 The leader of the game has list contain ing all the answers, and as the players hand in their lists to him he checks them off awarding the victory to the one that has the fewest errors.
 If the game is played by company in the evening a prize should be offered for the hest answer, and a time limit, say 15 or 20 minutes fixed within which the work must be done.
