brightened as he advanced to meet the
 president, who grasped him firmly by
 the hand.
 Amos" he said. "by George. it's
 good to see you! How are you?" and he
 gave the hand another shake.
 'oh, I'm standing 1t pretty well con-

 replied; ''how are you yourself, any

The old man, shading his eyes. watched the rig disappear up the road.
 He ain't changed mite," he said to the crowd which had gathered around him. It's nigh unto forty years ago since used to take him riding with me on the SyosSet stage, and I would "a knowed him now if I hadn't set eyes on him since. He used to have about as much deyilment in him in them days as any of the other boys, but there was something about him that used to make me want to take him along on the stage box morn any of the rest of the chil-. dren. His father used to have a house. then, up on the cove road and when I'd go past with the old stage Teddy run out and hoIler, Hey, Amos, give me a rider and if didn't hear him. he'd chase the rig down the road till he caught it.
 { He was on the box with me many a time in them days, and I was always durn glad to have him. Of course, I didn't know then as how he was a-goin' to be president, but felt it in my bones he was goin' to be somethin', He used to be great fellow for pets, and many a day I see him with his squirrels and rabbits and woodchucks. Woodchucks appeared to be his hobby. He used to buy about all of 'em that he could get his hands on besides the ones that he catched hisself. And in the water he used to be a regular duck. The whole of us used to think that we'd have to drag the bay for him some day, but, thank God, we didn't'
 Amos hobbled back to his home on the outskirts of the town. He has man. aged to see the president by one way or another every year since MT. Roose- welt entered public life. The president. after his wagonette got half a mile up the road beyond the church, jumped out and walked home Oyser Bay Special to New York Sun.

SPOON MAbE BY KING PETER. Z Little Angeli,se Nixon Bates, daughter of ". o. BateJ of Woodruff place, has a spoon. which was made by Peter, the new king of Serria- Mr. Bates has for years collected objects of historic and artistic value. but just at present this spoon is the most interesting thing in his home. It was sent 10 his little daughter a year or more ago by Mrs. Alfred Stead, formerly Miss Hussey of Indianapolis, during her trip around the world. While in Japan Mrs. Stead had sent the little girl Christmas gift, but on reaching London she learned that it had never reached her. <
 During subsequent visit to Paris. Mrs Stead met Prince Peter, saw his studio, and, admiring spoon which the prince had made, she decided on it as present for her little friend. She. wrote to MT. and Mrs. Bates the story of her visit to the princess studio, intimating that, for the time being at. least. he was in financial straits. and that spoon-making was not altogether a pastime art with him. @
 The spoon is of dull. heavy silver, and extremely odd and graceful in shape The bowl resembles one corner of a con- ventionalized shell, with radiating lines on the back. The handle is twisted somewhat like vine. and at the end there is flower and seed design sug- gesting the lotus. The whole effect is Japanese, and perhaps for this reason it particularly attracted Mrs. Stead who has done some work of that character herself in silver buckles, clasps and similar articles.
 The cover in which the spoon came was evidently the work of Prince Peter also. It is leather. stamped in design similar to that of the spoon. and bear ing in one corner his monogram.- In diannapolis News.

the state Of health of the individual, by the length of time during which shock has been inflicted and by the path which the current has taken through the body, that no definite safe limit can be positively laid down.
 As general rule the resistance Of the human body is normally so high that with pressures not exceeding 500 volts accidental contacts are rarely fatal shocks although occasionally the por- uons of the body on which contact is made are severely burned. The new fatal accidents which have occurred at low pressures appear to have been at tended by body resistance far below that usually met with. The effect of a shock may also be to cause such museu- lar contractions that the victimis unable 10 let go of the conductor which he has grasped. and, if help is not at hand. death may result from the prolonged aplication of a current which, If it had been only momentary. might have been comparatively harmless. On the other hand, there are on record cases of shock at pressures of several thousands of volts in which death has not resulted.
 The ultimate cause of death. when due primarily to electric shock, is generally considered to be stoppage of the action of the heart or of the respira- tory organs. That the latter may be affected is shown by the fact that vic tims of electric shock are sometimes brought to by practice of some Of the well-known methods of artificial respi- ration. The cessation of the hearts action may be due to stimulation Of the nerves which control the beating of the heart; these; when stimulated to excess may cause the heart to stop altogether. -Cassier's Magazine.

GIRLS TANGLED UP WITH LIVE WIRES. E.

1IIslIo fi fiI&1IN0IlTSlt WI E WIRES. With several yards of live electric wire coiled about them and sputtering a pyrotechnic display of vivid sparks as the victims squirmed to escape, five ait- tie Hoboken girls narrowly escaped electrocution yesterday while crowd looked on helplessly. .. I. A number of children were playing on the pavement in front of No. 69 Harri- son street, when the wire suddenly parted and feH among them One of the parted ends of the wire struck five years-old Helen Muller of No. 7O5 First street, and coiled about her clothing. She screamed as she fell and eleven- years-old Frances Masterson of No. 701 First street went to the rescue.
 The Masterson girl grabbed the dress Of Helen, and in an effort to pull her away she slipped. The wire struck her on the neck and left severe burn. The cries of Frances brought her three sis ters, Irene, eronica and Margaret, to her side and all three were knocked over. .,s.
 The more the girls attempted to re- lease themselves the more the wire would sputter, and as they all held the hand of each other they were all charged with electricity. A crowd gathered in moment and the cries of several women nerved half lozen men to finally rescue the five victims from the danger that threatened them.
 The girls, almost unconscious from shock, were carried to nearby drug store, where thir burns were attended to by an ambulance surgeon, who then removed them to their respective homes.-New York World.

FIRE IN RAG SHOP.
Caused Considerable Excitement on
 Dow Street

Caused Considerable Excitement on
 Dow Street.
 At 5:45 yesterday morning fire broke out in the rag shop of Israel Hirshman, at 1925 Dow street. and an alarm of fire was sent from box IS. The condi- tions surrounding the fire were more amusing than otherwise, and while the blaze itself was rather troublesome be- cause of the nature of the stuff on fire, the actual damage was not great.
 The firemen were occupied for over two hours pouring water on the smoul- dering rags The fire evidently started in the second story, which was heavily stocked with paper and rags. The cause was not known.
 One accident of a slight nature oc- cured. Engineer Samuel Nash, of No. Ts engine, was kicked by a horse on the engine. He received a rupture of a blood vessel in his arm. 4 The injury was dressed and he was able to return to duty as usual.
 Hirshman, it is understood, had no in- surance on his stock.

DANGER FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

DANGER FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK.
 Cases of fatal electric shock are,
 fortunately, of rare occurrence, and are mostly confined to these employed in the generation and distribution of elec- tricity. It is difficult to ascertain the minimum strength of current which is
 dangerous to life, as there is so much variation in the effect according to the circumstances attending the shock. Currents of 30 to 40 milli-amperes are probably as much as can be borne with- out great discomfort, although we find it stated that for medical purposes. and, of course, with due precautions, as many as 200 nilli-amperes can be safety passed through the human body. The effect is, however, modified so much by

They Are Old Long Island Neighbors
 and Good Friends.
 President Roosevelt and his family drove to church this morning in all old- fashioned wagonette. The vehicle was crowded and two of the boys, Archie and Kermit, sat on the steps behind. holding on to their fathers arms. After the services, as the president was leav- ing the church, an old. stoop- should cred, white-haired man, who leaned on a cane hobbled toward him. The secret. service men stopped the old man and were sending him away when the pres ident's glance fell on him.
 Amos. Amos Bowerman,'' he called, come here" as he waved the secret service men aside and walked brislay toward the old man. The latter's face
