TENNESSEE HAS A HEALER.
Some Remarkable Cures Credited 10
q Man to Whom Scores Are
FlOcking.

A sensation has been caused In the
vicinity of Erin, Tenn, within the last
two months by R. H. Rives, who mas
a new method of treating all the Ills
of humanity. His method Is some
what after the plan of Weiner, OF Ne
vada, Mo. His treatment is by the
rubbing process.
Wonderful stories are related OF
Rives' curative powers. He healed
Robert Parker, who had for two years
been unable to perform manual labor,
as his right arm was in such con-
dition from palsy or other cause that
he could not keep it from jerking all
the time. He was forced to carry 1t
in a sling, and the strongest man was
unable to hold it still and prevent 1t
from jerking. Parker is now sound
and well, after one treatment.
The very credulous are even saying
that Rives has caused the blind to see,
the deaf to hear and the lame to walk.
Persons come daily from this and ad-
joining counties to be treated, and the
Rives residence has been converted
into a hospital Rives is being daily
importuned to visit the afflicted In
their homes.
There is no doubt in the case OF
Parker that before he was treated by
Rives he had to depend upon charity
for the support of himself and FAM
lily and that he is now able to do hard
work such as blowing, chopping and
saving,

IODINE TREATMENT POPULAR.
Barbarfans So Greatly Pleased with
Stains Of Drug That They Pur-
pose1y Bruised Their Feet.

M. Jean Ajalbert, well-known aa~
thor and explorer, who recently re-
turned to Paris from a scientific ex-
petition in the Laos country, relates a
curious experience.
His native bearers. having ascer-
tanned that the doctor of the ezpedi-
ton used tincture of iodine to dress
injuries, bruised their feet on pur-
pose. When all the bearers had
passed through the hands of the doc
tor they looked as if they were wear
ing brown boots, repeated applications
of iodine having turned their feet to a
yellow color.
The natives were so tickled by this
fancy that they actually brought ele-
plants to the doctor, saying that the
animals were suffering from sore feet.

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Pennsylvania Mothers Horrible E1-
perience with Snakes.
Two Venomous Rattlers Enter Brave
woman's Home-YOung One Is
Rescued from Death by
n BrOOmstfck.

No Pennsylvania mother in Indian
times ever had more thrilling expe-
rience than fell to the lot of Mrs. Jo-
seph Button near Haneyville, Pa, re-
Gently. She saved the life OF her year.
old child in a unique way and then
dispatched an enemy that menaced her
own life.
The Button home is on the old turn
pike that runs from Jersey Shore TO
Coudersport, and not far FROM the sec
ton of country locally known as the
Black Forest. Mrs. Button, compare
tive young and used to the dangers OF
wild beasts, is as brave woman as
one could find in days travel anna
the hills of Clinton or Potter counties
She has a record Of having killed
thieving bear with an ak and three
deerskins in her home are trophies OF
her craftsmanship. But her expe-
rience of the other day had to do with
rattlesnakes. and she declares now that
she'd rather tackle a regiment OF wild
cats" than to face such situation
again.
Mrs. Button had gone to pasture to
milk two cows. She left her BABY
asleep on one of the deerskin mats on
the floor of the kitchen. On the way
out she stopped at the garden patch to
pick some vegetables, so that when she
finished the milking and started back
to the house more than half an hour
had elapsed.
AS she neared the house her ears
caught the prattling of her baby boy.
fastening to the house, Mrs. Button
was Mortified to see monster rattle-
snake half coiled on the floor within
two feet of the baby. Its rattlers
were buzzing furiously and the ugly
head was elevated and swaying from
side to side. Mrs. Button realized that
it was about to strike. The baby had
in his hands a birch switch, and with
this was endeavoring to strike the SER
pent. 1t was this that had aroused the
snakes temper. The child had the
switch appraised and was about to give
the snake a playful blow.
Almost fainting, the mother tottered
toward her child. Her strength gave
way and she fell against the baby's
high chair, which stood near the door.
Her arm rested against something
soft, and an angry rattle reused her
to action Another rattlesnake was
coiled on the seat of the chair. The
woman was in the same peril as the
child. Springing forward, she hurled
the two gallons of milk that she car
ried at the reptile on the floor, at the
same time deluging the baby.
The effect was instantaneous. Ceas-
ing its rafting, the reptile on the floor
started for the door. Mrs. Button
seized a broom and with single blow
broke its neck.
At this moment the snake on the
high chair struck at the woman, and,
barely missing her, fell upon the floor
near the baby. Here the reptiles Pc
culiarity gave the woman the victory.
A RATHER never strikes except from the
coil. 1t could have bitten the baby as
it lay stretched upon the floor, but,
true to its nature, began to coil first.
Before it could arrange itself for strik-
ing the woman dispatched it with the
brOOmStick.
