MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF CHILDREN
Lizzie Yungold, who is four years old,
fell five stories yesterday in New York
and escaped with slight bruise over the
right eye, and within half an hour was
on the street playing tag with other
children. How the child escaped being
killed is a mystery. Shortly after 3
o'clock she went to the roof of the five
story tenement in which live her par
ents. She had her doll with her, and
decided to take baby for walk, and
went to the roof of the house. There
the child sat down on the coping and
was pointing out to ''Baby" the objects
in the yard of house below when she
released her hold on the doll. Lizzie
grabbed for her doll, lost her balance
and fell. The doll landed on a shed be-
low. but Lizzie turned sOmersault after
somersault in her descent, struck clothe:
lines on the third and second floors anC
landed on the head Of Mrs. Rose Mlttlerr
who occupies the ground floor OF hoVs'
on Delaney street. An ambulance WA
summoned from Gouverneur Hospital
but neither the child nor woman needed
medical attention.

of fish fastened to hook or even tied
to a string. is not dropped over the side

His Last Hope Realized.

Gebo, Montana, Sentinel: In the
first opening of Oklahoma to settlers
in 1889, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race one fine day in
April. During his travelling about and
afterwards his camping upon his claim
he encountered much bad water which,
together with the severe heat, gave
him very severe diarrhoea which it
seemed almost impossible to check,
and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one
of his neighbors brought him one
small bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as q
last hope. A big dose was given him
while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in few
minutes the dose was repeated The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient
was taking his first sound sleep for a
fortnight. That one little bottle
worked a complete cure, and he cannot
help but feel grateful. The season for
bowel disorders being at hand sug-

A couple of gentlemen were on the
road day or two ago when the wat
ers were over the bottoms, when a
singletree snapped and the vehicle
with its inmates halted in the midst
of a great lake, and how to get to dry
land without getting into the water
was thought to be solved when one of
the gents proposed to take hold of
one trace and hold on until the team
could draw them out to land and SAT-

was the gentleman acting the part of
