CO[OREO BOY
IS SENTENCED
judge Fox Sends Miller to Re-
form School.

John Miller, the young colored lad
who stole 5000 from his brother Ben's
trunk, was sentenced to the reform
school by Judge Fox of the juvenile
court this morning. The lad protested
his innocence, but evidence produced
painted the lad in anything but glow
ing colors and the court acted on this.
Miller, it seems has been a constant
source of annoyance and worry to his
widowed mother, who is a hard work
ing woman. John, in both color and
morals, is really the "black sheep of
the family. His mother stated to the
probation officer, that nothwithstand-
ing the fact that it would hurt her
greatly to see her son sent to the re-
form school, she thought this mode of
procedure the best.

SAVED FROM THE GRAVE.
How . Dream Rescued Woman From
Terrible Death.

How . Dream Rescued Woman Frem
Terrible Death.
Mr.. Jones was popular young busi-
ness man in the city Of b. His wife
was q woman of strong emotion and
most delicate perceptions. Between
them there existed a rare sympathy
which extended to all the faculties.
Mrs. Jones fell i'll, and after a few
weeks agony, during which her bus
band waited on her with a constancy
DOT often seen, she died-that -, she
appeared to be dead. There was no
question about it in the doctors mind.
A certificate was issued and an under
taker called in. But for the fortunate
circumstance that Mr.. Jones was op-
posed to embalming there would be no
story to tell unless. 1t were Of another
person apparently dead who was re-
vived for a moment under the lunge Of
the embalmer's knife.
Saved from that fate, Mrs. Jones was
laid out In her burial robe. placed In q
coffin and on the third day was buried
In a cemetery some distance away.
Her husband was greatly affected, 30
much that his relatives feared an at
tack Of melancholia. His uncle, WISH
ing to arouse his spirits and divert his
attention, remained in the house the
night after the funeral and was a
valuable witness, as 1t proved, of an
event 50 astounding as to be almost
beyond belief.
For an hour or two that evening they
talked chiefly about the dead and then
went to bed. Mr. Jones, after tossing
upon his pillow for long time, fell
into a troubled sleep. In the middle
Of the night he heard a voice calling
his name. George. George The
tones were not familiar to him; they
did not recall the voice Of his wife.
Still conceivins himself the victim Of
q dream, he again went to sleep. It
was daybreak before the voice was
heard again, and this time 1t could not
be ignored. He recognized it at last
as the voice of his wife in sore dis
tress calling upon him She cried:
"Georgei Save me! Save me. George
He sprang out OF bed, trembling all
over. That despairing cry still rang In
his ears. so real was 1t that, although
he was awake and remembered per-
fectly the death. the funeral and all
that happened in the preceding four
days, he searched the room for her
who had thrice called him by name.
Finding that he was alone, he rush
ed into his uncle's room crying: Get
up! Get up! We must go to the cems-
terry. She is alive. She is calling me@
The uncle, skeptical as he was by
nature, was carried away by Jonas
impetuosity. Both men threw on SOME
clothing, and, while one harnessed a
horse to light buggy. the other pro-
cured spades. Thus equipped, they
drove to the cemetery at a gallop. The
sun rose as they leaped out at the
crave and began to die.

GILA MONSTERS BITE.
The Reptile Turns Over to Get Venom
Into Its Victim.

Into Its Victim.
1t was his turning over habit that
led me to the discovery as to the bite
of the ella monster. This creature,
more like short, stocky snake with
legs on than anything else, has ND poi
son fangs, like the rattlesnake, yet his
bite may be just as dangerous. His
poison teeth are in his lower jaw, and
the poison comes from gland under
the tongue. If he bites without turn
ing over the wound is not serious, but
If he turns over there is great danger.
= DR.. Snow Of the University of Kan
sas wrote me some time ago of an ex-
perience he had with the bite of q
Gila monster.
The reptile was caught and put in a
bucket. the top Of which was covered
with paper. The bucket was then put
In the wagon in which the doctor was
driving. AS the road was somewhat
rough, the bucket was bounced up and
down, and in order to steady it DR..
Snow put his hand behind him and
took hold of the bucket, thrusting his
fingers through the newspaper cover
on it's top SO that he could hold it Sc
cure. Suddenly he felt the monsters
grip on his fingers. Startled and some
what alarmed, he carefully pried the
jaws of the reptile open and released
himself. The wounds were such as
any ordinary bite would have made,
and he suffered no more Inconvenience
than might have been expected
