A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
FROM WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
 TRAGEDY.

1uA6EOxs
 An accident that might easily have proven fatality and costly fire, occurred at the residence of Frank Wright on the Boulevard, Saturday evening, when by the overturning of a large lamp the interior of the dining room was somewhat scOrched and Mas ter Leonard Wright narrowly escaped being set on fire; indeed so close was it that picture paper he was looking at was mass of flame before he could drop it. But for the presence of mind and quick work of Mrs Wright, who threw the lamp out the window and applied water very vigorously, the house would surely have burned up. During the excitement Mrs Wright's dress caught fire, but a pan of water put the blaze out before it got a good start. Prof Jewell ,his wife and mother aided materially in the extinguishing of the blaze. MT Wright was on the way to the village and had just reached the brow of the hill when he saw the flames blaze up. The time he made will be a record over the course for many day. All things considered MT Wright and family are very thank full that the incident ended as fortu- nately as it did.

A CURE FOR ECZEMA.

My baby had eczema so bad that it's head was a mass of scabs, and it's hair all came out. I tried many remedies but none seemed to do any permanent good until I used De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. The eczema is cured, the scabs are gone and the little one' $ scalp is perfectly clean and healthy, and it's hair is growing beautifully again. I cannot give too much praise to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. '- Frank Farmer, Bluff City, Ky. In buying Witch Hazel Salve look out for counterfeits.

IS THE BUSIEST
PLACE IN THE WORLD

From the New York World:
Careful and continued counting
shows that approximately 400, 900 per-
sons cross the Brooklyn bridge and
pass the Pulitzer building each day.
If these people, were to stand side
by side the line would stretch from
New York to Schenectady
Standing one on top of the other
they would extend 427 miles into
space.
But as the atmosphere goes up for, a.
matter of only 200 miles, they would
have to lie on the ground, ones head
touching another's feet, and them the
string of humanity would reach from
New York nearly to Pittsburg.
Marching single file in one direction
at the army rate of speed, it would re-
quire seven hours for them to cross
the bridge. They would weigh as
much as two 15,0o0-ton battleships.
They would fill 666 railroad trains of
ten coaches each, and these trains
would extend in an unbroken line from
New York to Philadelphia.
They include more persons than are
In the combined armies of Japan and
Russia in Korea and Manchuria.
They equal the combined populations

POOR MANNERS.

From the BrOOklyn Eagle: %5~$54S :y@SI 3F4!lA4
Coming down Broadway on a Columbus
avenue Gear "a few mornings since, iva
women bearded the car at, let us say, Six
teenth street. The woman in. the lead
wore, a shocking bad hat, a secondhand
rain coat and a toothpick. She walked
like grenadier and talked like a capt.
talist. Addressing herself to an inof-
fensive little man, who was occupying
about six inches of>seat room in the cah
she beloved imperatively:~
Move up!''
The meek little man glanced up appro-
hensively and Immediately moved up.
When the women were seated he turned
to the woman with the masculine air and
said plaintively:
Madam, was taught when young that
it was polite to say IF you please in
making such a request
The passengers pricked up their ears at
this. but the woman cast whitening
glance of scorn at the little man and, with
toss of her head exclaimed:
I'm a little too old to be taught any
thing by you!"
"Quite likely" replied the meek little
man, put L was also taught that one was
never too old to learn"
This ended the conversation. hut the
glare the woman cast at the little man
was in itself breach of the peace while
the passengers who had been ENJOYING the
scene had great difficulty in suppressins
their obvious amusement. Reaching
Chambers street. the woman and her
companion alighted and entered the
building on the southwest corner The
meek little man got off at Cortlandt hit
while standing on the rear platform the
conductor asked him:
did you know who that was tn whom
you were talking?'
NO." said the meek little man.
1T was the richest woman in America ,,
said the conductor in an awed tone,
"Well," said the meek little man az,
she had less money, perhaps her manners
would be BETTER

An entirely novel scheme Of whiskey4
peddling has justHbeen discovered in the
Chickasaw Natioms The culprits, who are
peddlers, travelled In al q old 5 wagon
drawn: .by. poor span Of indian ponies
and were ostenstb1y buying eggs and poul-
try, but on the sly they would sell small
bottles of whiskey to farmers and In
dams throughout the. neighborhood at 81
per pint. The officers discovered that
both axles of the wagon were of iron
and very large. Upon further investiga-
ton 1t was discovered that these axles
were hollow and would hold about four
gallons each. The peddlers would remove
a bolt and insert small pump and draw
the Whiskey out Of these axles.
