THE IRONY OF FATE

Galusha A. Grow Of Montrose, Pa,
formerly CONGRESSMAN from that state,
and credited with being the father Of
the homestead law, passed away a few
days ago the object OF pity and Sub
iect Of charity.
Time was, and only 40 far back as
1909, when Mr.. Grow possessed SO
curitieR and property to the value Of
e1O2, 900. But the executor OF the
estate was unable to find anything
reamining, and found his principal
duty In gathering evidence to dis
prove a story which, according to the
executor, acquaintance Of Mr.. Grow
threatened TO make public, using this
means OF extorting money from the
former congressman.
Mr., Grow was mulcted by his
friends. In 1905 he wrote a friend

was absolutely pennilass, correspond
ed with Andrew Carnegie, who, in
recognition Of the former congress-
mans services to his country, and
specially In view Of his fathering the
homestead ACT, gave Grow a pension
Of $1,000 a year, later increasing to
TO $4,000.
Although the generosity OF Mr..
Carnegie did much to relieve the
suffering Of Grow during his declin
ing years, IL did not overcome the
pangs he suffered from the ingrati-
tude OF those whom he thought to be
bis friends.
Thus It was that by the sad irony
of fate, the man whose most notable
achievement Of life was an act design

owners and to make them independ-

NoRwAVs BOY cLAiRvoYANT.
Traced a Body 10 a River, Says a
London Report.

An eXtraordiny case of clairvoyance
by child has caused considerable
Interest here. telegraphs our Christian
la correspondent. About fortnight
ago a man living In the Oesterdal val
ley disappeared suddenly from his
home, and all search proved vain.
The child, John Floettum, IA years of
age, was sent for eight days after the
mans disappearance.
The boy walked around the house
where the man had lived and got a
photograph of him, which he carefully
examined. sitting at table, with his
left hand covering his eyes, he drew
some lines on slip of paper. the lines
indicating where the man had walked.
The perspiration poured down the
boys face, and he often stopped.
When at last he saw" n place where
the man had sat down under a big
tree, he was exhausted and had to
give up for the day.
People were sent out to search, with
the boys sketch as their guide. The
whole population of the district fol
lowed, and excitement was high as the
crowd followed the course the man
had taken, step by step, as indicated
by the boy. Night came on before
hey reached the tree, and the search
was adjourned till next day, when the
boy himself led the party.
He took them to the tree, ana there
found the lost mans handkerchief
From the tree the boy went straight
to river, but again he became 50
exhausted that he had to. give up
However. as soon as he came home he
said he could plainly see" where the
man was.
Early next morning the search
party. with the boy, took a boat
which was steered according to the
boys directions. After a while he
suddenly rose and said, Here he lies.
A search was made and the body was
found at the bottom of the river on
the very spot the boy had pointed out
The boy only three months ago dis
covered that he possessed this ex
traordinary sense of clairvoyance
During this time he has given many
proofs of his strange power. A mar
went to him and told him that he haC
