Fell Into Thresher.

While assisting his father with a
threshing machine at the S. w. Roberts
farm miles south of Harvard last
Thursday afternoon, Will Young. son of
Commodore Young, of Harvard, acct
IDENTIFY fell into the machine and mir
aculously escaped a horrible death.
AS it was his right leg is broken just
above the knee, the flesh torn from the
bone and the body severely bruised and
cut in a number of other places. From
what we can learn the circumstances
are as follows:
The cap Tor lid over the cylinder of
the separa tor was loose at one side and
while oiling the working parts MIR.
Young had occasion to walk across the
cap, which gave way, and he fell be-
hind the cylinder with his right leg for
ward. The cylinder was going full
speed and the teeth tore great chinks
Of flesh from his leg, bruising him up
considerably and finally threw him
clear out of The machine to the ground
ten feet distant and when he was pick
ed up it was discovered that the right
leg was broken, whether by the fall or
in the machine it is not clearly known.
When the accident occurred the power
was stopped as quick as possible by
choking the machine and reversing the
engine, but those who witnessed the
accident firmly believed that the body
would be torn into shreds before the
cylinder stopped, and such may have
been the case had the body not been
thrown out.
At first the doctors thought it would
be necessary to amputate the limb as it
was in horrible shape and the chances
looked slim for the torn places ever to
heal, but at consultation later it was
decided to wait few days to determine
if amputation could possibly be avoided.
Mr.. Young is about % years of age
and has been assisting his father during
the threshing season.-Co rydon Dem

He Decides To Eat.

After staying with his resolution not
to eat anything for thirty three days,
Chas. Armstrong whose novel resolution
has attracted national attention decided
last Saturday he would take another
spell on earth while he had the chance.
He is now eating very heartily consider
ing his emaciated condition and has not
suffered any noticeable bad affects from
his long fast. The press Of the country
have taken the matter up generally
since the Sentinel published the fact
last week and several letters and tele-
grams were received from papers asking
for particulars while the Des Moines
papers had special men here. But Chas.
has spoiled the sensation and in very
sensible manner, much more so than the
manner in which he caused it.-Osceola

Engaged people should remember,
that after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
S. A. Bennettsville, S. c., says: "For

dyspepsia, complicated with torpid
liver, until she lost her strength and

Will give what may be the COid-Watcr
process wanted for canning tomatoes.
The quickest and best way ever dis
covered to put up tomatoes whole: Cut
off sound, solid, ripe ones. If they are
tinged with green little it viii not
hurt. Leave about half an inch of stem
on each one; wash them in cold water
and put them into q stone crock or keg,
Boil some fresh water a few minutes,
when cold, add one tablespoonful Of
salt to each quart of water. When dis
solved pour il over the tomatoes until
covered about three inches. Lay a plate
on to keep them under water When
desired for the table use the top ones
first. Rinse in cold water and YOU will
find them just salt enough to be good
and very appettzing. If too sails, soak
tor a few minutes in cold water. Green
tomatoes keep this way but should be
kept by themselves. Small tomatoes
may be put into glass jars, but l pre-
fer a crock for all sizes. The water
keeps the air from them, and the ster-
iliZed water and salt keep the tomatoes.
When putting them up set the vessel
in Il cool, dark place and fill as they
ripen. Be sure and use sound ones. n0t
TOO ripe. ! always use late tomatoes,
as they keep best. This is good, prac-
tical way anG sure TO keep them. Try
a few pickles this way and see how

cess.

Your story is interesting and curious,

water is steriliZed and kept from the

would seem to owe much of its efficacy
