WEIRD TALE FROM JAPAN

In a recent trial in Tokyo it was
disclosed that certain Osaburo No

remarkable circumstances. He was

win the regard of the poet. and at the
same time to protect his lady love
from the disease Osaburo attempted
to cure the leper. He had heard 1t
said that human flesh would cure lep-
rosy. Early in March, 1902 he also
read in a book a statement of the
same old superstition. Then he form

the neighborhood. On the night of
March 81 he caught an 11-year-old

unconscious and nearly bereft of life.
1t must have been ten minutes be-
fore he regained consciousness, for
when he did so he saw the train nom-
ing toward him at great speed. He
staggered to his feet, the reniem-
brance of the broken rail still in his
mind, and waved his hands, but the
engine did not stop, and just as it was
about to crush him. he stepped from
the rails and the train sped on.
But the engineer at the last mor1ent
had seen the boy step out of the en-
gine's way. and, throwing on the le-
yer, stopped the train after it had run
several hundred feet beyond the break
in the rail.
When the engineer jumped down
and came running back to see what
the trouble was, young Schultz told
him and showed him the place where
the rail had been broken; but now it
was perfectly sound. The flash of
lightning that struck Schultz down
spent the main portion of its force ON
the track in the immediate locality
where the fracture was, and had even
ly and perfectly welded the broken
rail in place at both ends. The track
was as safe and solid as it was the
day 1t was laid.

START or FLORIDA FEU UD

Speaking about feuds," said John
L. Humphries of. Tampa, Fla. Il
think that the stIangest, in its incep-
ton, is one between two families in
Marion county, in our state. 1t came
about this way. You know in our
state sometimes land disappears dur
ing the night and a man wakes up to
find his garden a great sinkhole. This
is, of course, due to the fact that Flor
ida is built on coral and not very SUBJ
stantially built at that, especially in
some of the interior counties. Harry
Redding had a nice patch of Irish po-
tatoes, and Oliver Vance, his neigh
Dor, had what he called farm and
near the house was sinkhole.
"One night Redding's potato patch
disappeared and the next morning
he had a nice large sinlkhole filled
with water where his garden patch
was. The same night Vance, who had
sinkhole when he went to bed. woke
up to find the hole was filled with dirt.
in which there seemed to be a lot of
pebbles about the size of a mans fist
Naturally he was surprised. He ex-
amined the pebbles to find them po-
tatoes, and after calling the family
up thev got to work and gathered in
six bushels of potatoes ready for mar

The Colorado statesman., 1906-02-17


That's where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
where a mans stock wanders on to
the premises of another, without his
fault, he can go after it. He argued
that the same doctrine applied to po-
tatoes which had wandering habits
For he was very sure that the pota-
toes on the Vance farm belonged to
him. Vance and his friends invoked
another principle of law that a man
owns his land from heaven to hades
and he refused to dig up the potatoes
for the benefit of his neighbor.
"All that happened ten years ago"
continued Mr.. Humphries, "and the
Readings and the Vances are still
armed against each other Two or
three skirmishes have taken place be-
tween tie parties and one of the
Vance boys, 18 years old, was wound

WELDED THE BROKEN RAIL

When the S:23 limited pulled into
Wheatley, in this county, one evening,
it was discovered, says the lie Seur
correspondent CT the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, that one of the rear wheels
on the last coach was broken, piece
having been split off from one side SO
that there was a slightly fiat place
on the wheel, and, as it was feared.
the broken wheel in pounding over
the track had broken a rail. Only by
a miracle was the S:56 local saved
from being wrecked.
Three miles south of Bentley the
fiattened wheel had broken out sec
tion of rail about seven feet long
broken 1t out so badly that it was torn
from the spikes and lay across the
rails. where it was found five minutes
before the local was due by Willy
Schultz, boy of IA years. who lives
on farm near by. The lad knew that
the local soon would be along and he
was frightened. He put the piece of
rail in place and then started down
the track toward the approaching
train, running as fast as he could. He
had not gone twenty feet. however,
when there came a binding flash of
lightning from a dark cloud that COW

Dr. McBryer, who was very fond Of
speedy horses, had purchased a new
one that had a mark Of 2:10, and also
possessed some very headstrong ways.
Nevertheless. the doctor wasproud of
his new trotter, and was anxious that
his friends should enjoy with him :ts
bursts of speed. So about week
after the thoroughbred had been ad-
ded to his stable he invited Judge
Rodgers to take a drive with him.
The judge said he felt the need of
some fresh air and would go gladly.
They started out of town at lively
clip. In the country the doctor gave

LINCOLN's ANNIVERSARY.

Abraham Lincoln the great
emancipation was fittingly remep-
bered throughout the land last
Monday. In many states his
birthday is a legal holiday. In
others business houses and public
buildings were closed in commem-
Grafton of his birth. In the pub
lie school and college Lincoln S
character, achievements and death
were celebrated in essays, orations
song and story. AS the years pass
Lincolns greatness and granduer
grows upon the public mind and
impresses itself upon the heart
and life of the nation. Patriotic
societies and Grand Army organ
izatiens are particularly Jealous
in Lincoln Day celebrations. He
is the most beloved man before
the pubic eye. All of the colored
people of the Uuited States feel
an ever increasing debt of graft
tude to this noble and unselfish
commoner.
In Denver, The Peoples Sunday
Alliance had the celebration in
hand and Notwithstanding the fact
that many of the largest churches
were engaged in special services
and crowded to the doors at that
hour. Yet Odd Fellows Hall the
home of the Alliance was crowded
to hear the eloquent message and
tribute to Lincoln given by Rabbi
w. S. Friedman of Temple Imnan-
uel of this city. Lincoln's name
is now household word in every
home of the nation and II more
worthy fame could not be better
chosen by any mortal than to live
in the memory and affection of a
greatful people and Dear" to the

Why Wesley Gave Up Tea.

John Wesley wrote in 174S: IT
could not imagine what should occa-
sion the shaking of my hand till l OBJ
served it was always worst after
breakfast, and that if I intermitted
tea drinking for two or three days it
did not shake at all. Upon inquiry I
found tea had the same effect on other
persons of my acquaintance, and
therefore saw that this was one of its
natural effects, as several physicians
have often remarked" After a daily
practice of tea drinking for twenty
seven years Wesley left it off. The
effects of relinquishing it fully an
swered his expectations. "My para
lytic complaints are all gone, my hand
is as steady as it was at 10, and
save up 80 pounds (s250) year."

THE PASSING OF DUNBAR.

Paul Laurence Dunbar has. in
the language of the West, crossed
the range. His life star has set.
He died at his home in Dayton,
Ohio, Friday February ninth be-
ing just a few months past thirty
three years of age. In the very
Zenith of his manhood and at the
height of his intellectual and
poetical fame. Dunbar has made
a name for himself and reputa-
ton for the race that will not cas-
lily be forgotten. Four novels
about ten short sketches and seven
books of poems are in the hands
of the Literary students to his
credit and he was engaged on the
eighth volumn of poems when the
grim reaper death issued his sum-
mons. Besides many newspaper
and magazine articles Dunbar has
sent forth upon the Literary sea
many terse epigrams that have
been heralded over the world with
out any thought that the author
of these epigrammatic utterance
was a Negro. His poems and
writings have been so striking,
smooth and suggestive that pub
fishers everywhere have been ready
to furnish a market for his pro-
ductions. Dunbar was well known
in Denver and Colorado where he
has given many readings from his
own works to classical audiences
and where he sought recuperation
for the dread disease consumption
that laid hold on his overburden-
ed brain and overstrained body.
For three years he has been con-
fined to his room and for the past
nine months critically i'll but still
he kept constantly at work. His
last book published about Christ
mas entitled "Howdy, Honey,
Howdy," completely exhausted his
vitality and he has been only lin
gering since. He was born June
27, 1872 at Dayton, Ohio, wrote
his first poem at the age of seven
years. While his first work to
attract serious attention was
graduating poem written for the
Steele High school in 1891.
Many of his choice poems when
Malindy Sings" and THE Corn
