CINCINNATI
PEOPLE EXCITED,
Stirred up That City to a
Remarkable Degree.

Cincinnati, o., Jan. 3.-This city is at
present in the midst of an excitement
beyond anything that it experienced in
recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside themselves
over an individual who was a stranger
to Cincinnati up to two weeks ago.
The man who's has created all this
turmoil is l.. II. Cooper, President of the
Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton, Ohio,
who is at present introducing his prepa-
rations in this city for the first time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years of
age and has acquired fortune within
the past two years by the sale of some
preparations of which he is the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceded the young man here were OF the
most startling nature. Many of the
leading daiies going SO far as to state
that he had nightly cured in public pla-
ces deafness for years standing with one
of his preparations. The physicians of
the East contradicted this statement,
claiming the thing to he impossible, but
the facts seemed To bear ont this state
ment that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people Hooked To hun
by thousands and his preparations sold
like wildfre.
Many of these stories were regarded
as fictitious i'm Cincinnati and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid 10 them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
The Yale expositor., 1907-01-04

met people afflicted with deafness
and with single application of one of
his preparations actually made deaf
people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper adj
vanced the theory that stomach trouble
is the foundation of nine out of ten
diseases and claimed to have a prepare
ton that would restore tile stomach to
working order and thus get rid of such
troubles as rheumatism and affections
of the kidneys and liver, in about two
weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results OBJ
tanned through the use of his prepare
ton, and now all Cincinnati is appar-
emily mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble veritable
stampede. Thousands of people are
visiting him each day, and the drug
gists are selling his medicines i'm enor-
nous quantities.
What seems 10 make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac
tices extensive charitable work and has
already dispensed "a small fortune
among the poor-of the city.
How long the tremendous interest in
Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems TO he no sign of
a letup. Reputable physicians claim
il to be a fad that will die out as soon
as Cooper leaves.
In justice TO him, however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished a great deal for the sick of this
city with his preparations.

THE PRISONERS ESCAPE.

The story is told Of how a neatly
constructed cipher saved Sir John
Trevanion's life. This cavalier was
taken prisoner and locked up in Col
chester Castle to await his execution.
On the second day of his confinement
the jailer brought him a letter which
as far as the warder Of the castle
could discover was merely note Of
coincidence from friend. But the
letter had been concocted on cipher
to which Sir John had the clew. Ev-
cry third letter after a punctuation
mark Of any kind was to tell. What
he made out was: panel at east
end Of chapel Slides" On the follow
ing evening the prisoner begged per-
mission to pass quiet hour in prayer
in the chapel. The request was
granted, and before the hour had
passed the panel had done It's work
and the bird had fown.-Boston Post

PURSUED BY WOLVES.

Samuel Johnson, an Indianapolis
| man, eighty-three years old, who was
one of the most enthusiastic old set,
tiers at the recent reunion at White
City, tells Of an experience with
wolves on Buck Creek that nearly
ended disastrously for him.

twelve miles from Indianapolis or

ger, though, and used to go many
miles away on a hunting expedition
without seeing wolf or thinking
about one.
One day I went on a trip and
stayed out little later than usual.
It was getting dark and as I got
near home the air was cold, and il
wolves ever are hungry they would
have been hungry that night. I hur.
ried along trying to get in the house
before night, and began to wonder
II there were any wolves near.
II happened to look back and saw
a big patch of black moving toward
me. I hurried faster and just got
inside the door when the pack
reached the house. I barred the
door and kept clear out of sight, but
on the outside I could hear the ami.
mails bowling and scratching around.

more, but did not try to shoot them
and think they lost the scent of me.
Anyway, they turned suddenly and
ran off down the road, and I never
saw them after that time. India.

ANNABEL LEE.
(By Edgar Allen Poe.)

(By Edgar Allen Poe.)
It was many and many a year ago,
In-a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden lived, whom you may
know
BY the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no
other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
! was child and she was child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was
more than love,
and my Annebel Lee
With love that the winged seraphs
of heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
"A wind blew out of cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee!
So that her highborn kinsmen came,
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in sepulchre,
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half SO happy in heav,
en-,
Were envying her and me;
Yes, that was the reason Gas all men
know
In this kingdom by the sea,
That the wind came out of the cloud
by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far
than the love
OF those who were older than we,
OF many far wiser than we,
And neither the angels in heaven
rs above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever discover my soul from the
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For The moon never beams, without
bringing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise. but / feel the
bright eyes
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And SO, all the night-tide, lie down
by the side
OF my darling my darling-my life
and my bride,
In her sepulchre there by the sea
In her tomb by the sounding sea
