scious beside the Identical chest iii

tumn apple, pulling away on bottle.
III Dan hadn't been man he would
probably have tainted too. As It was,
he rushed for water, sprinkied 1t fin his
wife's face and brought her to. BY
this time her senses were ready to re-
ceive the impression that her baby was
alive and well. She snatched 1t from

she put 1t back and covered Dan with

German was coming across the river

box sailed along right side up. The

Taking It to his hut on the bank, his
wife gave 1t some warm milk, and It
revived. The woman, who was child

the baby and would not give 1t up.
She kept It month. when her hus-
band, discovering that 1t was costing
him good deal Of milk aud fearing
they might get Into trouble II they
kept It. prevailed upon her to send 1t
on according to the address on the
tag. So he took 1t to an express otaee,
where the clerk after pondering awhile
whether to accept such fragile freight
concluded 70 pass It on, especially as
It would be delivered within couple
Of hours. It Is probable that at the
time of the accident the lid closed. the
hook slipped into the staple. the box
was thrown into the river and foated
to the German.

Many employees, mostly women, of

reached an adjoining roof below by
jumping from windows. and Others slid
down an iniprovised fire escape which
some Of the cooler heads had provided
out Of a long line Of hose, a part Of the

ninth floor to the roof and were taken
10 a hospital, painfully hurt.
Tho injuries Of the others were dress.

A CHEAP Practical Ioke.

As result 81 somebody's cheap prac-
teal joke during the larger portion of
Thursday afternoon party of searehers
including First Selectman Frank Craw-
ford hunted through the woods in tho
vicinity OF John Rooney's farm IN BEN
Hington looking for the body OF Abina
perham, better known as William and
who resides on Congress street In that
village
Shortly after two o'clock letter was
found on the sidewalk In front of the
Clark brushhaek faste4y The letter was
addressed to Mr., Crawford, and read o.
follows;
whoever finds this can find me in
John Rooneys woods / viii be dead for
have nothing to live for w. perhan.s
Tie natural conclusion was that the
writer Of the letter had become despond-
emit and had decided to commit suicide.
A half a dozen searchers with Mr.. Craw-
ford at once left for the locality indicated
IN the letter and thorough search Of
the woods was made. No trace of Per-
ham was found.
When the searehers returned to the
village a more thorough examination of
the letter was made. The handwriting
was compared with specimens penned by
the missing man and the letter ct once
made out to be a forgery. Having ascer.
tanned that the letter was not writtew
by Perham, Mr.. Crawford went to work
70 locate the missing man and by tel.
ephoning to different points learned that
he was at work Oh d farm in Pownal
having left here Monday for that town,
The only motive that can be assigned
for the writing 81 the letter is that some
acquaintance Of Perham attempted to
make him the victim Of 9 crude joke.

The Invention Of Armor.


The idea of the invention OF armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancIents, who,
noticing the natural armor OF various
kinds Of animals, particularly the ar
madillo, initiated II. In early times
before metal was used In armor maxi
ing the warriors used rough hides Of
several thlcknesses, and the first armor
ever worn was made from slices takcn
from the hoofs OF horses and fastened
together with pegs Fish scales and
the scales of large snakes were also
gathered and fastened together until
they formed a thick layer and were
used as armor. The arTnor of the mid
die ages was d continuation OF the
ancient kind, made In the form Of
scales of iron or steel Certain kinds
OF mail used in early times IN England
were copied from the shells Of crabs
