GAIKWAR, RULER

Maharaja Gaikwar, Il Indian prince

the country and learn all he can for

"Hennery, did you notice how l roped

PULLED OFF HIS ARM.
Quick Presence of Mind of Man Who
Was Being Crushed Saves
His Life.

Cincinnati.-The quick presence of
mind in the face of terrible accident
is all that saved the life of Frank P.
Thomas, manager of the Peacock dis
tillery. The accident occurred at the
plant Of the Peacock company, at Kais-
erton, KY, which is four miles from
Faris.
lIr. Thomas went to the plant sever
al days ago to superintend the placing
OF new machinery and prepare to start
the distillery for its season run. A
new machine had just been installed.
which is used to crush the grain for
its mash. The rollers of this machine
are adjusted to crush the grain down
to the thickness of newspaper.
While feeling up the grain chute which
feeds this masher Mr.. Thomas, who
wore a glove, accidentally got too close
to the rapidly revolving rollers, and
his right hand was drawn into it.
Hsi arm was being rapidly pulled
through the machine, when, with rare
presence of mind, and with a power
full jerk, he pulled off the crushed por-
ton of his arm, the rollers having
reached to within a few inches of his
elbow.
He was removed to the Office Of the
company, where medical aid was sum
moned, and his arm was later ampu
tated near the shoulder.

dozen of the cowboys to go with our

for the night, and the cowboys told
of a place about 20 miles away, where
some scientists had a camp, where
they were excavating to dig out petri-
fed bones of animals supposed to be
extinct, like the dinosaurs and the
hoday, and pa wanted to 60 there and
see about it, and the next day we took
half a dozen of the cowboys pa had
hired, and we rode to the camp.
Gee. but l never believed that such
animals ever did exist in this coun-
try. but the scientists had one animal
picture that showed the dinosaurs as
he existed when alive, an animal over
70 feet long, that would weigh as
much as a dozen &C our largest ele-
chants, with a neck as long as Is
Siraffes, and then they showed us
bones of these animals that they dug
nut and put together, and the complet-
cd mess Of bones showed that the

A COSTLY REVENGE

hufnble folk had to, why he could go
and live somewhere else. So the duke
turned out, the county council tri-
umphed and the Trent continued to
flow its polluted course.
But the duke had a card up his
sleeve and he has just played it. He
has presented Trentham hall to the
county council for the purpose Of es-
tablishing there college for higher
education.
The gift is princely one. 1t cost
s75p.000 to build it many years ago and
at present prices 1t would cost consic-
cradle over $1,000,000 to duplicate it.
Standing in the midst Of a spacious
park, and surrounded by beautiful gar
dens and Conservatives it is one of
the finest show places in the kingdom.
OF course the county council cannot
reject such a magnificent donation. II
it did it would cause no end of howl.
Metaphorically speaking, it will nave
to go on it's knees and humbly thank
the duke for it. And after doing that
it will have. to take proper steps 20 Sc
cure the publication of the Trent be-
fore the college can be set a-going, Tor
obviously, In these days at least, the
most. humble of students could not be
expected to pursue their studies in a
place that had been pronounced unsafe
for a duke to live in. And that Is
whore the dukes triumph will come in.
1t is uncharitable to estimate the
value of gift by what it costs the
gtTer to part with it. But it is q fact
that the duke makes no great sacrifice
in parting with Trentham hall. He has
several other residences, three OF
which, at Stafford house in Lon
don, Dunrobin castle in Scotland and
LiIieshall in Shropshire-kings might
count themselves fortunate in owning
The duke has more land than any

tates exceed in area that of any county
in England, except Yorkshire, Lincoln
