teemed for this purpose were Of home
manufacture, compounded from roots
and herbs gathered In the fields aud

died out Is evidenced by the brisk
trade In sassafras bark now being car

NARROW ESCAPE,

Observation-Disclosures Remp and Will

to deliver city papers, saved three peo-
pie from almost certain death when
two passenger trains going in opposite
directions were passing the Dresbach
station at the same time.
The northbound train had stopped
at the station, had unloaded and
loaded passengers and express, and
was pulling out, when southbound

an adjoining track. Mrs. Ida May

who had alighted from the first train,
were making their way across the
track toward the station and depot
and did not notice the engine bearing
down upon them.
The two boys, who had their arms
filled with bundles of papers, saw the
danger simultaneously, and dropping
their papers rushed to the needless
passengers and pushed them from the
tracks just in time to save them from
being hit by the locomotive Neither

Harald, Premier Christensen and 40
members of the rigsdag, arrived here
today from the Farce. islands Great
crowds welcomed the party. His ma
jesty has appointed a commission to
arrange for legislation to define the
constitutional status of Iceland con-
sisting of members of the Danish
rigsdag and the Icelandic althing.
At a banquet given to the guests
the king said: Il have inherited the
kingdom as whole, and as such it
snail remain from generation to gener-
alton. But I have also inherited from
my forefathers the tradition that the
Icelanders are free people, cooper
ating with the king in preparing the
laws under which they have to live.
Therefore have appointed 4 commits
sion composed of members of the
Danish rigsdag and the althing of Ice
land to arrange the legislation, to de-
ternine the status of Iceland in the
kingdom and to find a form under
which the liberty of Iceland may be
developed and protected, while at the
same time the unity of the kingdom
may be preserved and made durable"
