A Surprised Preacher.

When a clergyman in the course
Of his sermon asks q question he
doesn't expect any one to answer it.
At a watch night service at St.
Psul's church, Brixton, England,
the vicar was preaching a sermon
on the prodigal son, in the course
Of which he said: "Iast year some
people came to watch night service
from a neighboring public house,
and some of them were drunk. Is
there any one here like that to-
night?"
1'Yes," said a respectable looking
man seated in the aisle; "1'm here,
and I'm drunk"
The effect on the congregation
was electrical. The preacher was
startled for a moment, but after
saying, "Poor fellow, poor fellow
proceeded with his discourse.
81 tell you Pm drunk" said the
intruder.
'Hold your tongue" said the vic
ar. 81 am speaking now and must
not be interrupted"

COST 10 HUMAN LIVES
Two Months Hunting in New Eng.
land.

With the close season on Moose
going into effect in Maine at mid
night Friday, statistics completed
yesterday show that two months of
hunting in New England have cost
70 human lives, says the Boston Sun
day Globe. OF these fatalities eight
occurred in Maine, six in Massschu
sets, three in New Hampshire and
two in Vermont. Four of the deaths
occurred from exposure and one
from an attack Of heart disease, while
in the other IA cases the fatal shot in
only one instance was self inflicted,
thus leaving I3 hunters at the close
Of a seasons sport responsible for a
human life. Two OF the victims
were women, one each from Massa-
chusetts and New Hampshire.
In addition, at least ID others have
been seriously injured by the acct
dental discharge OF hunters weapons
six IN Maine, six in Massachusetts
and one each in New Hampshire
and Vermont. In these cases six OF
the wounds were self inflicted.
While returning home in the dark
near Westfeld, Henry Tracy was
shot by couple of boys, who mis-
took him for an animal. He was
found dead by the roadside the next
morning, but although bullet holes
were found in the body the boys
were exonerated, as an autopsy
showed that natural causes might
have caused the mans death. Yer.
monts other death during the hunt.
ing season Of only one week occurred
from exposure. Ellsworth Benja-
min, aged 81, was found dead on
Carpenter mountain, near Pownal.

Girl spend. Night in Ice Box.

New York.-While policemen hunted
high and low all night for her. 12-year-
old Helen Cobb lay imprisoned In an
ice box in the cellar of her home on
Freeman street. She was liberated
next day by her father. Patrick Cobb.
He feared she had been abducted. Cobb
is . widower and Helen kept house and
looked after three smaller children.
Wednesday night he sent Helen to a
grocery store with three cents to buy
kerosene and she stopped to play and
lost the money. Afraid to go home,
she said she had crept into the cellar
and then into the ice box and closed
the door when she heard her father
call her. The door had a spring lock
and closed her in. Cobb became
alarmed toward llidnight and reported
Helen's disappearance to Captain Nc
Glynn. Then he and policemen
searched for his daughter. He made
several trips to the cellar of his home
and called, but in vain. He did not
go to work yesterday, but continued
the search. and near noon he got q
faint response to his call and traced
the voice to the ice boz.

witnessed few days since a remark
able scene and the display of des-
perate devotion on the part of COM
rade that has few parallels either in
fact or fiction.
Miss Sallie Baron was gallopipg
across the plains in company with
her father and bunch of cowboys
when she accidentally saw a pretty
flower blooming near a large cactus.
This famous belle of the Rio Grande
is an accomplished and spirited rider.
capable of performing many feats on
horseback that astound even the most
daring broncho buster. Without slack
ening the speed of her fine racer she
swung her 1.-THE body towards the
ground in order to seize the fragrant
bloom that had attracted her 1t.
tention.
Her hand had no sooner touched the
flower than there was a warning rat
tie SO familiar to the ears of Texans,
and the next instant the fangs OF q
monster rattlesnake were driven into
the white arm of the venturesome
girl.
Old man Baron saw the glitter OF
the mad serpent's eyes and the flash
OF the forked tongue and the murder
GUS fangs sinking into the arm of his
adored daughter. She is his only
child. and one for whom he has hoard
ed million. He loves her better than
his own life. Realizing that death
usually follows the bite OF such q
monster. the terrified father threw up
his arms with moan of despair.
Jack Garland. quick-witted valor-
GUS ex-ranger. happened to be close
enough to seize the frightened young
woman's arm as she threw 1t up, and
he grasped 1t above the wound, en-
circling 1t with his thumbs and fore
fingers with sinews of steel that pre-
vented the poison from reaching be-
yond his grip.
AS other comrades sprang to his as
sistance Jack pressed his lips to the
wound and began to suck the deadly
venom from the white arm with all
the strength he possessed.
Old man Baron had fallen from his
saddle in helpless terror. While some
Of the boys were dispatching the big
rattler others were helping the dis.
tressed father to reach the side Of
his daughter. He is an old Texan, and,

The trembling old father. standing

hard, with his head against her
bosom, realized that the time had
come for capitulation. Making a des.
perate effort to master his feelings,
he raised his eyes, swimming in tears,
and taking his daughters hand. he
