Miss Macpherson told the following
story of the encounter with the Ebur-

husband, and that he had returned
unexpectedly from Mansfield, Ohio.
He formerly had occupied the room l
was sleeping in.
"'Is that you, Bert?' said.
"There was no answer for a minute,
and then a man came over to the bed
and said
Z" IF you scream I'll burn your eyes
out.

might be another man in the room,
and 1 screamed at the top of my voice.
Instantly, man whoh had been crouch
ing at the side of the bureau sprang
across the room and seized me by the
throat. He threw me back onithe bed
with one hand, and in the other he
held small dark-1antern.

A meeting was held at Birming-
ham, England, on the evening OF
November nth, in opposition to
the fiscal programme Of Joseph
Chamberlain, the meeting being
addressed by Lord Cecil and VIM
ston Churchill. An audience of
5000 or more had assembled to
hear the addresses and it is esti-
mated that the crowd surrounding
the hall during the meeting num-
bered 10000 people, many of
whom were in sympathy with Mr..
Chamberlain's views, as was evil
denced by the precautions taken
by the police of the city to prevent
demonstrations against the speak
ers. Mr.. Churchill devoted his
speech to denunciation Of Mr..
Chamberlain's propaganda and
urged the continuation of the tree
trade policy of Great Britain,
which, in his view, has done more
to maintain the peace of the world
than all the efforts of statesmen
and government officials for the
last half century. Lord Cecil made
a speech in the same vein to that
of Mr.. Churchill. A resolution
denouncing the proposed protec-
tive tariff and admitting the right
of the government to impose re-
talitory duties in special cases was
carried by a large majority OF the
audience.

The Gvclnne'a Trail.

The farmers of Bureau County, ILL.,,
are engaged in collecting cyclone
curios. They gather them from their
own fields, for the twisters that have
prevailed in this section Of the State
this summer have cut some queer
antics.
The first violent blast was at Men
dota, where a wide swath was cut
through the town, blowing down
houses, pulling trees by the roots, OF
breaking the trunks as if they had
been pipe stems, and killing five people.
Later another disturbance of the ele.
ments blew down a circus tent and
killed one Of the pioneer scouts who
had followed Fremont across the coun-
try in his historic expedition.
The articles that have been picked
up in the fields form a curious collec'
ton, and when the finds Of all the
collectors are put together they form a
veritable museum. One man has a
wedding skirt that is known to have
belonged to a woman in the south end
Of the county. Another has the limb
Of a tree that was broken of a tall
oak ten miles distant. Another man
has half of a door frame and a lot Of
