ROMANTIC ROCKS HOLD STORY.
Uniontown, with It's Beautiful Coun-
try, Recalls Polly wiIIiams' Fate.

Unfontown, with It's beautiful Coun-
try, Recalls Polly williams Fate.
Among the many romantic spots in
Western Pennsylvania none Is better
known, perhaps, than White Rocks,
near Uniontown. This particular spot
was made famous by Philip Rogers
willfully casting Polly Williams, to
| whom he was engaged, down the face
of the rocks into the dark depths be-
low, causing her death. This event,
which occurred in August, 1910, has
been done up in song and story, but
the plain facts have never been related
more clearly than by Charles B. Pen
nington, of Carmlchaels Pa.
Polly Williams parents moved from
Fayette County, Pa, into Ohio" said
Mr. Pennington, leaving Polly in the
care of a nelghbor family, to be mar
ried to her betrayer, Philip Rogers.
The couple stole off together one day,
she from where she was staying and
he from his work, believe at an I'M
cle's, and met at an appointed place
She, it is supposed, was under the inn
preston that he was going to take her
to a preacher to be married. Some
time afterward couple of girls were
gathering huckleberries at the White
Rocks and noticed a small piece of
clothing on bush near the edge of
rock. They looked over the preci-
pice and saw a dead person lying be-
low, which, on Investigation, proved to
be Polly Williams.
Rogers owed his freedom from jus
tice to the efforts of his lawyer, but It
Is said that he lived very miserable
life, and some who knew him said he
scarcely ever slept, but would lie in
bed and chew tobacco all through the
night" Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

ISLANDS ovERRUN BY DEER.
Come to the Doors and Farm ers Can
Only Shoe Them Away.

| Come to the Doors and Farmers Can
Only Shoe Them Away.
| Farmers on Orcas, WILDLY, Lopez
and Mercer islands have grown weary
shooing the deer away from their
crops, and are demanding the privilege
of exterminating the deer on the ISL
ands. Either this action or they will
have to move back to town and give
over the Islands to the wild game
1t is claimed by the farming inter
ests that the bill making game pre-
serves Of the four islands was all very
well in the days when these spots were
not settled by an industrious class that
Is now tilling the soil. Then it made no
difference whether they were drivn into
the water by hunters.
Now that Oscas WILDLY, Lopez and
Mercer Islands have become thickly
settled the deer have become nui-
sance. Mercer Island lies in Lake
Washington within a stones throw of
the States metropolis, but the deer are
absolute in their control, as if the spot
was located near Mount Tacoma.
1t does not make any difference how
much money is spent by the settlers
and city farmers on the improvement
Of their places, the deer drift In and eat
up whatever suits their fancy, and the
farmers are helpless. All they can do
is to shoe away the invaders, and if
they will not shoe the farmer may, In
his desperation, take the deer by the
horns and lead him outside the In
closure. But he has no privilege in law
of using violence in dealing with the
deer pest.
One or two residents on Mercer ISL
and tried to be rid of the deer 1t is
related that one Industrious citizen who
found the deer eating up his cabbage
patch killed one and the game warden
placed him under arrest
That the courts subsequently freed
him is no consolation. The farmers in
the eer-infested regions want the
privilege of fighting to preserve their
Preside from invasion by the voracious
deer.-Walla Walla Statesman.

The Broken Vase.

! crash Mothers new vase fell to
the floor, and two little frightened
faces looked at each other in surprise
and dismay.
Marjorie picked up the pieces care
fully and sat down on the ottoman
with them in her lap. Kentie sat down,
too. and they pieced the fragments to-
gether.
why, 1t looks most like ~ ex-
claimed Marjorie.
! There's little teenty hole, Mario"
Kentie said, slowly.
But it's so little, Kent! Les put
it on the mantelpiece again and see If
it shows"
"Yes, let's
Kentie climbed up on a chair and
took the pieces as Marjorie handed
them up. He set the jar back in its
old place, with the little hole next to
the wall. The pieces held together
beautifully.
Don't it look good, Marjo?" he
said, excitedly.
"Yes, splendid! l don't 'spect any
body'd know it was broken"
Kentie got slowly down, and they
went across the room and stood look
ing up at the little jar. 1t was NAM
mas present from papa on her last
birthday, and they knew how much she
thought of it. They had faint idea,
too, that it was worth quite a good
deal of money.
1--WE couldn't tell her now, you know,
Mario, cause she's gone to heather
meetin' at the church. Les go up
stairs n play party"
"What'll we do when she gets home,
Kentie? Must we tell right off quick?
Maybe she wouldn't feel so bad by N
by. when she's had 1t longer"
Kentie did not answer. They went
out of the room and shut the door
softly. The hardest part of it was,
it would never have happened unless
they had been playing in the parlor,
where they were quite sure mamma
would not have wanted them to be.
The party was not a success 1t was
very solemn little party, and came
to an end abruptly. They they tried
playing jackstones, but that was even
worse than the party.
I'm goin' down. 1 most b'lieve you
don't play fair, Kent Howell ~
Marjorie went Off and left Kentie
tossing the stones up and catching them
on the back OF his hand. After while
he put them all in his pocket and went
downstairs, too. Very quietly he stole
through the hall and into the parlor
"Oh!" he whispered, with little jump,
and a guilty expression. you here,
Marjo?"
Sure enough, there was Marjorie,
sitting on the ottoman. They looked at
each other with sober little faces. Just
then they heard mammals voice on the
front piazza, and they slipped out into
the back yard instead of running to
meet her as usual.
Teatime came, and bedtime. Mamma
went upstairs and kissed them 10
sleep" in the same dear old way, but
somehow 1t troubled them this time.
She turned out the gas and went away.

Indian Cure for Neuralgia.

Here is simple method of curing
facial neuralgia. If the neuralgia Is
in the right side of the face the left
hand should be placed in a basin of
water as hot as can be borne. Or If
neuralgia is in the left side Of the face
then the right hand should be placed
In the hot water. 1t is asserted that in
this way relief may be obtained in less
than five minutes. The explanation Is
that the two nerves which have the
greatest number of tactile nerve end
ings are the fifth and the median
nerves. AS the fbers of these two
nerves cross any impulse conveyed to
the left hand will affect the right side
of the face, or If applied to the right
hand will affect the left side of the
face This is on account of the cross
ing of the cords.-East Indian Re

THE JUDGE AND TIN.
The Boy Had Task He Wished to
Complete.

Complete.
Judge Lindsey, the famous "chil
dren's Judge OF Denver, does not be
lleve that there are bad boys. Boys
do bad things" he has been heard to
say, "but they aren't really bad them
selves. There is a lot of good in the
worst Of them, and we can usually find
1t If we try" Perhaps of all the pub,
lie men interested In the welfare of
the so-called bad boy, he has been the
most successful in finding the good he
speaks of so optlmistlcally.
| There are cases, however, that are
battling even to his patience. One Of
these was a 13-year-old boy who was
brought into the juvenile court on a
charge of truancy. Tim was bright
looking little chap, and the judge ex-
pected that his kindly adInonition
would bear immediate results, but he
was disappointed for at the end OF
the fortnight when Tim was ordered
to bring his teachers report, In ac-
cordance with the system organized by
Judge Lindsey, he presented a sad rec
ord of almost continual absences from
school.
"You must do better than this" said
the judge.
Eyes, sir" was the answer; but at
the next report day there was no Inn
proyement. Tim will stay out OF
school to work. wrote the teacher.
"TIm," said Judge Lindsey looking
across the table, where he always sits
with coy lnformaiity among the boys
brought into court for varying degrees
of delinquency, "don't you know that If
your mother was living she'd want you
to go to school? Your aunt is good to !
you and gives you home, and you
don't have to work. Now's the time
when you ought to be studying. You
can work when you are a man."
MY fathers a man, and he don't
work !" blurted out Tim. "He went
off and left mother an me- l guess
that's what killed her" The boy gulp-
ed down sob, and the judge said,
gently, 'Your mother wished you to
be a good man, and you must begin by
Dbeying the law and going to school,"
Tins reports still continued to show
absences from school, and to one re
port the teacher added her opinion
hat it was hopeless to try to keep
Tin at his studies Still the Judge
vas not discouraged, and he spoke
again to the boy. urging him to mend
his ways, and was answered only by
IN almost sullen stolidity of expression
which did not seem to promise well. !
But at the end of the next two weeks
