Nine-Year-OId Child Rescues a
Brother.
Especial to The Asheville Cftizen.)

Especial to The Asheville Citizen.)
Brevard, n. c., March 25.-Trains
were unable to run on the Transyl-
and Brevard from Monday forenoon
until Tuesday afternoon on accoun of
high water, out the hustling officials
were not to be 6nwned, so after rum
ming al engine over the track, at one
place for a distance of several hun
dred yards where the water was from
II to IS inches deep, the train was
carried through all right.
One Of the most remarkable Incl
dents of presence Of mind of a child
was shown yesterday when two Of
your correspondents children (boys,
aged Z and 81, came very neal being
drowned. They had gone with a party
over on a little mountain to look at
the river which was all owe the valley
and a hurried on ahead Of the COM
pany and in crossing a little creek
where the water was some IS inches
deep and very swift, the smallest one
fell into the water. In his anxiety to
rescue the little fellow, little Roy. the
9 year old one. did not lose a moment
but went right into the water, to les
cue his little brother. The water Just
a few feet below was some four feet
deep, and so Roy was unable to get
out with the little one, n seeing he
was being washed dow slowly and
thinking his little Bud was gone he
let go and made for land and exclaimed
MY little brother is gone!" Howev-
er. just then a new idea struck the
little fellow and Selling a long brush
some eight feet long-threw one
end in the water to the drowning
child and exclaimed, Take hold Jas
peri" The little fellow took hold and
was safely LANDED to the shore. Just
then Mr.. NJ. D. Cooper. who happened
to see the incident, reached the spot,
turned the little fellow over, shook
him up and carried hin to his house
and finally restored. They seem to
hin more Of each other than before.

Truth IN These Plain Words.

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, the famous
preacher, who died recently, once said:
It is meanly selfish for you to be so
absorbed in the Heaven to which YOU
are going that you forget what Is to
become of your wife and children after
you are dead. You can get out of this
world without leaving a dollar, and vet
die happy, IL you could not provide for
them; you can trust them in the hands
Of the God who owns all the harvests,
and the herds, n the f1ocks; but if you
could a the premiums on a policy and
neglect them, it is a mean thing for you
to go up to Heaven, while they go to the
~poorhouse- You, at death, move into
a mansion, river front, and they move
into two rooms on the fourth story Of a
tenement house on a back street. When
n are u at the elbows and knees,
the thought of your splendid robe in
Heaven will not keep them warm! The
minister may preach a splendid sermon
over your remains, and the quartette
may sing like fou angels in the organ
loft, but your death will be a swindle.

note published by the official Dresden
er Journal, expressed his regret to
Premier Metzsch Won R~eichenbach for

thy with him rejecting on the Saxon
government.

quest, in order to help him in America.

had no intention of charging the Saxon

LETTER TO CHAs. McMILLEN
OF Wilmington, \. G.

Dear Sir: 1t is your business to know
what materials to put into a house as
we'll as to plan it. OF course, o know
the effect of zinc on lead in paint
toughens it. Do you also know the
greater effect of zinc ground in?
For a painter can't grind: he can only
mix. Devoe lead and zinc is thoroughly
ground in oil. The result is an init
mate mixture.
Your painter can only mix; he can't
grind: there's no need Of grinding by
hand. He should buy lead and zinc
ground together in oil.
Devoe lead and zinc is that; the pro-
portions are right besides. 1t outlasts
lead and oil two to one. n costs no
moreover less: for ~hand-work can't
compete with machine-work.
Yours truly.
F. W. DEVOE & CO.
P. s. NJ. W. Divine & Co. sell our
paint.

extraordinary patient at the Monmouth
Memorial hospital has awakened. For
cot there he came to a realization of his
the matter and then rose For the
food.
Of the wards found Allen apparently wide
awake. She spoke to him and much to
her surprise he answered intelligently
He has been awake at intervals, but al
ways sank back into deep sleep after
ways blank. All he could remember
was things that happened during his
childhood.
Now he seems to be entirely recovered
from his strange malady, which has puz-
zled physicians and specialists, Treat
ments Of all sorts were employed, and
now that he Is awake it is not known
just what brought about the result. The
physicians believe that his recovery Is
permanent. Electricity has been the
principal trea tment applied.
Each day he was given three quarts Of
milk and In this way his strength was
kept up reasonably well, altho toward the
last he seemed to be losing vitality.
Overwork and anxiety are believed to
have been the cause Of his strange af-
Fiction. Aliens home is in Boston. For
week before he was taken to the hos
pital he had been sleeping.

New York, July 2s.-That the revela-
tions Of labor graft growing out of the
trial OF Laurence Murphy. former treas
urer Of the journeymen . stonecutters'
union, have stirred workingmen was
demonstrated when a delegation Of labor
ing men called on District Attorney
Jerome to protest that however corrupt

CARNATIONS may be the rank and file were
honest men, and should not be confused
with the ''grafters." who, they admitted,
are at the present time In control of some
OF the organizations.
There is to be an appeal in Murphy 8
case. Only a small part Of the story that
Murphy and his wife have told their law

evidence. Mrs, Murphy was not allowed
to tell all she knew, Judge Newburger
holding that In a trial for larceny, such
testimony, while interesting was irrelev-

session to the authorities if they wanted
