things seen on the ground is the

Hanged His Chur0.

The crowuing fes ture of a "Wild
West" performance given recently by
a number of small boys at Anderson,
w. Va, almost resulted in a tragedy.
AS it was, little Eric Fox, son of the
village tailor, was almost strangled TO
death and was unconscious one hour
after he was cut down from a tree,
where his companions had hanged
him.
The boys were initiating the per-
Torrance they had seen in sho~
when they tied rope around Fri Is
neck, and after dragging him over the
the ground behind a horse, hanged him
to tree as horsethief. A man who
saw the proceedings rescued him.
While producing g similar perform
ance year ago, lad named Moran
was burned the death at place not far
from Anderson. Another boy was fa-
tally injured, when play mate tried
to sheet a pipe from his mouth.

Millrift, Pa. Aug. ia remarkable
cure of cancer has been brought to
light in the person of Mrs. Wilhelmin q
Ludwig, who resides several miles back
of Millrift, in Pike County. She has
been sufferer from cancer for long
time. Every known remedy had been
resorted to, even to the knife at hos
pital but all failed. The sufferer had
given up hope, and was resigned to her
fate. Two weeks ago while out pickin g
huckleberries on the hills near her
farm, she was bitten by two rattle
snakes.
| A physician treated the patent, say
ing he could don)thiug further, on &C
cont of the cancer, and that the
woman would in all probability die
Now comes the most remarkable
point in the case. The cancer, which
always had the appearance of INK,
fringcd with red, began to be run
ming sore. 1t remained in this condi-
ton for four days. On the fifth day the
snake poison had worked all through
the caacer, the swelling disappe AIRED
and the heretofore ugly-loo king cancer
began to heal, aud today Mrs. Lud wig
is almost cured.

Orchard TO Get Free

That Harry Orchard is to be con-
victed of murder in the first de gree
and then helped out of prison, after
his sentence has been committed to

by Peter Breen, an attorney of Bntte,
and a representative of the miners
union of that place.
Breen said Orchard told fellow con-
victs in the penitentiary of the plans
that are bsing made for him. He is
to escape from prison and no mention
is to be made of the fact untsl six
weeks later, after he has escaped in
safety to England.

Beautiful Mars

One of the most beautiful objects of
the night sky at present is the planet
Mars. Once in Is years this planet
swings within IS. 100000 miles of the
earth; it shines with reddish hue and
is somewhat brighter than stare the
first magnitude. At present it is near
est to the earth and rises about sunset.
or little later in tie southeast. 1t can
Only be found by an observer. For
many years Mars has been the subject
of study by astronomers, 1t is the most
interesting of all the planets and is the
only one aside from our own that is be-
lieved to be inhabited. 1t seems to-aId
sent all the conditions of life. Air and
water seem to be present and its light
and heat from the sun are about As per
cent of the light and heat received by
the earth. Prof. Lowell, of Arizona,
who has spent several months this year
studying Mars through a first class
telescope, declares that he believes that
he has discovered unmistakable evil
dence of race of giants on the planet
But other astronomers doubt his con-
and indeed it seems impossi-
BILE that his observations could have
been so accurate 1t is not improbable
that Mars is Inhabited, but whatever
our cenjectures, we do not know.

Still a Boy.


"Still boy" we heard one say
To another, half in jest
Then wrinkles Joined in play
With laugh of merry zest;
Aud the jolly frame of him
Shook with bursts of sheerest joy
As he ans Sered back with vim,
"Well, I'm glad I m still boyr'
Still a boy-aye, true enough
Glad, yet gentle; pure and kind;
Nodded sure of manly stuff
Kind of bog it's hard to fad.
kid of boy it's good to see
Manb boy, wholesome, simple,
Kind of boy you'd like to be
If the choice were left to you.
Still a boy-how many now
Have forgot the solemn eye
Have forgot the wrinkled brow
Is the boys that once came by?
Call him oack-it is his due,
Let him come with youth and
joy
Back into the heart of you,
Laughingly, and still boy.
Still boy-ah, well-aday,
Boys are scarce at enough AT
best.
With the ripping roundelay
Let the boy still be your guest;
Let him cleave unto your heart
In boy-confldence and hold
Still boy-the man apart,
Long, long after he is old.
