SIMPLY CANNOT
KILL THIS MAN
MARVELLOUS RECORD OF ONE
WHO SEEMS TO BE BORN TO
HAVE MARROW ESCAPES.
ONCE FELL OFF PREcIPICE
That Was When He Was Young and
Was Beginning of Career That
Seems Destined to End In
Natural Death.

Easton. Pa.-Granville B. Snyder,
an Easton printer, has had more mar
row escapes from death than most liv-
ing men. Some of his friends will
tell you that he bears a charmed life,
but Granny, as he is commonly called,
SCOTS at that idea
II guess it was ordained that
should die a natural DEATH" he says,
"and luck always seems to have
stepped in and saved me from shut
fling off this mortal coil in any other
manner"
The first time Granny faced death
he was six years old. Leaving home
one morning and walking a short dis
lance to Mount Ida, an immense rock
ITO feet high, overlooking the Lehigh
canal and river, he determined to
climb to the top to gather honey
suckles. The north side of the rock
is sheer precipice, and toward this
perilous point the lads steps led
unconsciously. He found flowers
growing in profusion, and in his en-
thusiasm lost sight of the danger he
was in. He reached Tor stem, TOOK
false step, and plunged over the per-
pendicular wall ITO feet to the tow.
path.
Although he suffered a fractured
collar-bone, both legs and arms were
broken, and he lost great quantity
of blood from three gashes in his
scalp, the doctor pulled him through.
When eight years old Granny fell
through the trap in the haymow in
Peter NJ Corrells stable. in Bank
street, while playing chase with COM
panions and landed in the water
trough. The other boys, terrified, ran
from the building. When stable
man pulled the boy out of the trough
he was nearly lifeless.
The same year he was bitten in the
hand by a copperhead snake while

TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack-Grandfathe
Suffered Torments with 1t
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.

I'm 1884 my grandson, babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf-
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
in few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago 1 contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be-
ing covered with virulent sores. tried
many doctors to no purpose. Then
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement and
final cure. M. w. LaRue, S45 Seventh St.,

playing in yard near his home. His
arm swelled to an enormous size. To
the surprise of the physician Granny
began to recover, and in a short time
he was running around again.
When ten years old, and again
when IL. he had two more narrow es-
capes from drowning. Upon the for
mer occasion he broke through the
deck of sunken canal boat in the
Lehigh and was rescued in an uncon-
scious condition by James Herrin.
The second accident resulted through
him falling through a raft that parted
along the old sawmill.
He had a thrilling escape from
death on the New Jersey Central rail-
road in 1877. In attempting to jump
from rapidly moving coal train as it
passed the Fourth street station his
right hand caught fast in the side rod,
he was thrown to the ground and the
wheels clipped off his cap. He was
dragged 25 feet, struck signal target,
hurled back against the car and thus
his hand was released. Outside of
few slight bruises and torn and soiled
clothing he was none the worse for
the experience.
Twice he narrowly escaped death
while handling firearms. The acct.
dental discharge of seif-cock.ng re-
volver he was handling sent bullet
into his hip. The ball struck bone,
took downward course, came out
and then re-entered the leg. The lead
is still there.
Upon another occasion, during
Fourth of July celebration, he picked
up loaded revolver belonging to
friend and discharged it In the air
FIVE times. Then, jokingiy placing
the weapon against his temple, he re-
marked, "good-by, fellowS!" and
pulled the trigger. The hammer
caught and Snyder lowered the
weapon to examine it. He almost
tainted when he discovered that in
stead of It being a five-chambered
weapon, as he had imagined, it con-
tanned six chambers, and there was
still loaded cartridge in it. Only
the fact that the hammer caught
saved him from blowing cut his
brains

A Busy Locality.

Jack is the eight-year-old son of a
Philadelphia suburban merchant, and
not long ago made his first visit to
New York with his father. The
strenuosity of the big town got on
the boys nerves, and by bedtime he
was about run down. He tumbled
into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more OBJ,
servant.
Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy" he said.

to bother with little thing like that. y

the circumstances he thought it best
not to urge his son.-Lippincott's

Universal LANGUAGE.

He spoke his love in German-she
answered not word. In French he
tried to WOO her-the maiden never
heard. He tried his luck in English,
in Irish-all in vain; in Greek, Turkish
and Latin, and in the tongue of Spain.
And then an inspiration came to the
anguished youth. 'The universal
language" he cried, "I'1l try, for
sooth!" He kissed the demure maiden
and pressed her to his breast; she
understood that language, and-well,
you know the rest.
