HORSE FALLS IN CiSTERN
Then Battles with Water Moccasir for Life-Rescued by
 Bremen.

A horse belonging to William Scales of Kansas City, Kan, fell in an unused cistern the other day. The animal was almost submerged, nothing but his head and neck remaining above the water When the hose company from fire head quarters arrived a large water moccasin about five feet long had wrapped itself about the horses neck and had bitten the animal several times
 The snake was an ugly looking reptile and for few moments the firemen hesi- tated about going down in the well. Vol unteers were called for, and some of the men, more venturesome than the rest climbed down on ladder and with a large stick killed the snake. The horse was then lifted from the cistern and a veterinary surgeon applied antidotes for the snakes bite. Although the horse suffered considerably from the com bined effects of the fall and the snake bites, it will recover.

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Flames in Room of Dumb and Par alyzed Man So Scare Him
 That He Begins to Talk.

Thomas Herring, dumb and par- alyzed old man living with his scn-in- law, E. Moss, in London, was so over- come with fright when a fire broke out in his bedroom recently that he sud- denly began to speak.
 Herring, who is Fl years old, was a robust man, and up to short time ago was enjoying good health, even work ing at small blacksmith's S forge. One day he suffered stroke of paralysis, which also left him speeches..
 The other evening two men rushed in shouting that one of the upper rooms was on fire. Running up stairs to the chamber of his fatherin-law Moss saw that the window curtains were ablaze and the woodwork was alight. The wind had blown open the lamp, causing the fire
 The paralyzed man lay on the bed helpless, unable to stir hand or foot or raise cry of alarm. The agonized look on his face showed, however, that he realized the terrible nature of his position. The flames were smothered before they had made much progress, and the patient escaped unhurt.
 Shortly after the family were sur prised to hear the voice of the par alyzed father. He was able to speak distinctly few words and his speech was coherent. The next days his pow CTS of speech were still further restored and he regained the complete use of his voice and was able easily to converse with the family.
 The restoration of the lost faculty was evidently the outcome of the shock which his system experienced on the outbreak of the fire.
 Although the paralysis of the limbs remains, Mr. Herring's health has inn proved so much that he has been re- moved from the house to a hospital, where it is the opinion that he may live long time.

The Picture Hat.

"I witnessed an amusing incident at one of the local theaters the other evening"" remarked the theater-goer. "A woman, wearing a large picture hat, was seated directly in front of an elderly man, who was straining his neck in an endeavor to see what was happening on the stage, and, of course, it was only possible for him to see but one-third of the performance "The second act had begun, and I could plainly see that his anger was increasing. At last, when he could stand it no longer. he lightly tapped the woman on the shoulder, and, in as gentle tone as he possibly could mus ter, said
 ." Madam, pardon me, but paid two dollars for this seat, and your hat
 "My hat cost s25, sir-r-r!' came the naughty reply.

Any honest person who suffers with Rheumatism is authorized to go to their druggist today and get bottle of Para camph, use as directed, and if it fails to do exactly what we claim, go back to their druggist and get their money. Par acamph is recommended as modern scientific treatment for all Rheumatic Swellings and Neuralgia troubles. It re- lieves oil Natures plan. That is when applied it opens the pores, penetrates directly to the seat of the ailn1ent soothing the inhaned skin. muscles and joints re- duc;ngt he swelling by removing the con- gestion, drawing out the fever and inha1n nation by inducing sweating. It sweats the disease out of the body through the pores of the skin. This is why Para camph is superior to the many internal strong, drastic drugs that upset the stonl- ach, shatter the nerves, and undermine the general health. Our guarantee is made to convince you of our faith in Par acamph. We have of course, tested its merits thoroughly in many and various cases. We know therefore exactly what it will do. So don't hesitate, but get a bottle of Paracamph today, and after two or three applications you will be convinced that we claim only for Paracamph exactly what it will do.
 Paracamph is sold only in 25 cent, 50 cent and $1 oo bottles. The larger sizes are cheaper for family use. Write for book of testimonials. The Paracanpn Company, Louisville Ky, U. $. A.
