SAVED Her
COMP ANTON
But Nearly Gave Her Life in
the Attempt.
LITTLE CLARA LOWNY
Rescued From a Watery
Grave Near Prospect.
Seeing Her Playmate Drowning
Gladys Henry Throws Herself In.
to Stream and Both are Saved

Only the daring heroism of Gladys
Henry, aged IL years, prevented her
playmate, Clara Lowry, aged 13
years, from death in the Icy waters
of Patterns run, small stream
flowing into the Scioto river, at Pros
pect, Sunday AFTERNOON.
The little girls were playing along
the banks of the run and watching
the high water which threatened at
any minute to flow over the banks.
They decided to cross to the other
side by going over small plank
bridge about eighteen inches wide.
Miss Lowry made the first attempt
and tried to run over the bridge,
slipped and fell into the water. which
was about fifteen feet deep. Her
companion saw her, and rushing out
on the plank, threw herself into the
water, holding on to the plank with
one hand, and with the other hand
she grabbed her little playmate as
time. BY this time, little Miss
Lowney was unconscious, and 1t was
all the rescuer could do 10 maintain
her hold on the plank.
Shouting loudly for help, the hero
inc attracted TObe Lowry, the faith
er of the girl. who came to the res
cue and pulled the children from
their perilous positions. They were
taken to their homes, restoratives
applied and today both are recov-
ering nicely from their thrilling ex-
periences.
Little Miss Henry is the heroine of
the village and is being highly praised
for her great courage in saving the
life of her little friend at the risk of
her own.

Tennessee has been termed n Mother
Of States, and as the founder OF the
first American colony beyond the
mountains. no one OF the determined
frontier fighters who did valiant serv-
ice there deserves 80 much as General
James Robertson to be called the "a
ther Of Tennessee.
Robertson's settlements were small,
his followers were rude, rough men.
but the future OF those little colonies
was big with destiny. and from tho
loins OF his pioneers has descended q
race Of men who. measured by
achievement, are perhaps inferior to
none that ever trod the earth. The
deeds OF the leader himself were en-
acted in an obscure corner OF the
world, but his heroism was not less
than that OF other men whose fame
Is brighter because the thcater OF their
action was more IN the gaxe Of the
world. His character was Of the grim,
austere type OF the Scotch Covenant
ers from whom he sprung. Accepting
for his guidance In life the gloomy ten
cts of pure Calvinism. and applying it,
pitiless logic TO all LIES affairs, he did
his duty as II was given him to see II
with answering fdclity.-Lynn Tew

DO NOT THINK THE
SOLE AIM MATRIMONY.
Milton Women Are Cultured and Are
Able to Support Them
selves.

Milton, Ind. Aug. 31-A squibb 60
Ing the rounds of the press states that
there is an unusual number of unmar-
ried women in Milton. The town
board and the postmaster receive nu-
merous letters from men expressing a
willingness to relieve the condition
supposed to exist here. Milton people
do not rear their daughters with the
idea that the chief aim of woman Is to
get married. Local women are Gull
tured and generally well-to-do or very
capable of self-support. so perhaps
may be little slow about taking a
man to care for or to be a hindrance.

cLUNe TO LIFE.
An Old Time Natchez Indian Who Re.
fused to Be Sacrificed.

fused to Be Sacrificed.
One of the repulsve features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when mem
Der of the royal family of the nation
died it was necessary that several 9th
ers of the people should accompany
him to the tomb by suffering death al
the hands of executioners. When the
great sum-" the hereditary chief of the
whole nation, died. all his wives, in
case he were provided with more than
one, and also several of his subjects
were obliged to follow him into the
vale of shadows. The little suns,
secondary chiefs, and also members OF
the royal family likewise claimed when
dying their tribute of death from the
living. In addition TO this, the mex.
orable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl of the royal line of the
suns On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
II will narrate TO you upon this sub
ject." writes an old French chronieler
of Louisiana, 1.-The story of an Indian
who was cot in humor to submit to
this law. His name was Etteacteal
He had contracted an alliance with the
suns The honor came near having q
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarking in pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought refuge in
New Orleans. He placed himself un-
der the protection of the governor, who
was at that time NJ. de Bienville, offer
ing himself to be the governors hunt.
er. The governor accepted his services
and interested himself i'll his behalf
with the NatcheZ, who declared in an
swer that he had nothing to fear, mas
much as the ceremony was over, and
as he had not been present when IL
took place he was no longer available
as n candidate for execution"

where they were treated to both
vocal ~and Instrumental music,
Miss Clara Bell Treakle presiding

mellow and pleasing voice they
were greatly enjoyed by all pres
sent. Miss Clara Bell also sang.
About $50 all were invited into
the dining room, which was hand
.somely and tastefully decorated,
in front Of each plate being placed
a souvenir of the occasion. The
table contained all the heart de-
sired in the way Of ice cream,
cake, fruits, nuts, candies, &c.
The guests of the young lady
then returned to the parlor, where
more music was INDUCED in, and
it was way after II when the
guests departed. thanking Mr..
and Mrs. Treakle for their hOspi-
tally and wishing Miss Laura
Beatrice many happy and pleas
ant birthdays. The following
songs were rendered during the
evening:
