Mrs. Caroline Scott of Frankpord
Penn, has the reputation of being the
greatest lover of animals in that town,
vet she kills from 500 to 1000 animals
every year. Mrs. Scott began her
grewsome occupation thirty-tive years
ago, when her interest in dumb ami
mails brought many cases to her atten-
ton in which nothing could be done
but to put the animal as painlessly as
possible to death. The work grad
ually extended, until now Mrs. Scott
is called upon whenever any animal in
Frankford is i'll with an incurable dis
ease or wounded beyond hope Of re-
covery. She kills them by putting
them into a box and filing it with gas.

to observe the nice litter of moth
worms which has collected. 1t is, per-
haps, too much to say that moth balls
attract the miller. Even moth millers
do not like them. There is no creature
on earth that does like them. There
is but one creature on earth that will
tolerate them, and that creature is a
woman. She would not do so were she
not actuated by the delusion that she
is protecting the contents of her home
by so doing.
Where did the notion originate? In
what mind did it first terminate? By
whom is the notion promulgated? 1t is
easy to understand what keeps olive
the tradition that moth balls are of
use when once a large body of people
are made to believe it. The manufac-
turer likes to make them. They don't
cost anything. They are easy to make
so they pass them along to the retailer,
who stands ready to sell anything the
people want.
The totem-poles of the Esquimaux
Indian are founded on no greater sU-
perstition than the moth balls. A per-
son might just exactly as well carry
a rabbits foot in his pocket to keep
off bad luck as to put moth balls in
the attic to keep away the moth miller
1t is said there was once established
in New England a factory for the rur-
pose of making wooden nutmegs.
Thousands of bushels were manufac-
tured every year and mixed with gem
uine nutmegs and sold to the people,
A wooden nutmeg is certainly a flimsy
fraud, but at least it does not stink
and does no greater damage than to
fool the cook. But the moth ball is a
capital crime against human forbear-
ance.
Every innocent looking little white
moth ball carries with it wherever it
goes an aura of stencil bigger than a
cathedral, more pervasive than cigar
cite smoke, and fingers on everything
1t touches with the tenacity of chronic
malaria. The man who first contrived
them was a fool. The man who is SELL
ing them is fooling. The woman who
buys them is fooled.

Mr.. Gray left his home in Charleston

did what he could, Christ in his power
did the rest. We are grateful that this

few months in our home and that it
was our privilege to assist in minister

WITH DYNAMITE
CONNECTS FOUGHT.
Made Desperate Attempt
to Escape.
OUTBREAK QUELLED.
Affair Occurred Near Biz
mingham, Ala.
-Four COnyicts Were Wounded aud Two
of Them Fatally-The Attempt
Had Been Carefully Arranged.

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. Alarmed
with sticks OF dynamite which they
hurled at the guards, number of
white convicts made q daring attempt
TO escape from the Pratt mines prison
carly this morning. The boldness of
the plan almost resulted in the liberia
tion of the entire number Of convicts
confined in the prison, but the guards
finally halted the flight of the prison
ers by shooting four of them. Two will
die. One convict, John E. Wing, 20
years old escaped. The guards almost
miraculously escaped injury.
That preparations for q break for
liberty have been going on for q long
time is shown by the fact that the con-
victs had accumulated q largo quantity
OF explosives in the prison. They have
been gradually saving each day small
amount Of Mantle from the allow
ance made them for use In the
mines. Each man who was in the plot
was armed with quantity.
Tom Fay, a member of the notorious
Miller Duncan gang of safe-blowers
and murderers, led the convicts in the
break for liberty. Fay is serving out
term OF eighteen years.
One O'Clock this morning was chosen
for the outbreak. The gang began
Their operations by blowing out one
end of the prison building with
charge of dynamite. Through the
opening they made dash for liberty.
The guards were taken by surprise
but soon rallied with Winchester ri
lies and repeating shotguns, and Wig
orous fire on the fugitives, Drawing the
pieces of dynamite which the convicts
hurled at them The dynamite was
not 50 effective as the rebels expected,
and the bullets from the Winchesters
in the hands of the guards put quick
end to the outbreak.
Four convicts lay wounded on the
ground when the smoke cleared away
They wero Tom Fay, the leader OF the
gang, shot in leg, John Brewer, sery-
ing a sentence OF seven years, shot in
the back; Kinney Brewe", serving
twenty years, shot in shoulder. Both
Brewers will die.

would dispense with these necessities
now? So it is with flour. AS loOg us
you use inferior flour and know nothing

The celebrated "Clifton" flour is sold

they buy in small quantities, the flour is
always fresh. Bransford's "Clifton" is
