Hen.

Henry Bittz. OF Fairfield, N. j., is
grieving over the death of his old
Plymouth Rock hen. noted in the
neighborhood as the peacemaker of
his barnyard. No fighting among its
occupants was allowed, and If any
of the young ROSTERS tried to indulge
in that pastime, they got a sound
thrashing from the old Plymouth
Rock.
Yesterday, however. two swapping
turtles. brought to the barnyard by
the Bittz boys, began fighting, and
the old hen, true to her principles,
jumped in between the belligerents
to stop them. Seeing they had a
common enemy, the combatants both
tackled her, and it was not long be-
fore each turtle had seized leg of
old Onyx and she had been thrown
to the ground.
Bittz, who heard the hens cries
and ran to her assistance, was COM
PEELED to cut the heads off both tur-
ties in order to release the old queen
of the barnyard, but she was so bad
ly hurt she was killed.-N. Y. Amer

LiliputIan Parishes.

Probably few people know that
this country contains a number of
parishes SO small that their popula-
tion can be housed under one or two
roofs. For instance, Upper Eldon,
near Stockbridge, consists of two
houses. which with an eleventh CEN
tury church and q tiny Gods acre"
in the middle of farmyard adjoin-
ing one of the dwellings, comprise
the whole parish. Not much larger
is the population of Lullington, FIVE
miles from Eastbourne. Small as its
church is-the interior dimensions
are only 16 square feet--it is quite
large enough for the inhabitants.
In Grove. near Leighton Buzzard,
there are only about dozen inhabi-
tants, the parish containing a mod
ern farmhouse, two cottages. and a
tiny church. AT Rhyd, in Flintshire,
while there are only three adult In
habitants. the village contains five
cottages and one shop; till recently
there we're two licensed houses. one
OF which still remains.-Tit-Bit

BOY DRowNs IN RESERVOIR.

Easton Especially Joseph Kline,
aged 6 years, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edgar Kline. of No. $40 Mauch
Chunk Street, South Side, was drown
ed in the reservoir of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, on Wilkes
Barre Street, this city.
Kline went to the reservoir with
William Vandyke and Harry German,
each aged about years, and the
three gained an entrance by crawling
through small opening in the fence.
The German and Vandyke boys tell
conflicting stories concerning the
drowning. Young Vandyke says that
German was fishing in the reservoir
and pushed Kline into the water.
German says that Vandyke gave the
Kline boy shove which sent him
into the reservoir. After Kline had
fallen into the water his two COM
panions hurriedly left through the
hole in the fence.
Mrs. Benjamin Pfennig saw the
Kline boy fall into the water from
an upper window in her home, and
she called to John Evans and Edward
Smith, who were passing through the
lot in the rear of the reservoir. They
got the body, but could not resus.
citate the child.

Tigers Long Swim For Prey

A correspondent at Penang trans
mits details of an exciting encounter
with a tiger in that island, a cir
cumstance which at the first blush
is somewhat curious, since tigers in
Penang are historically in the same
category as snakes in Ireland.
1t was a Chinaman of Balik Pulau
TO whom the adventure befell He
heard an uproar in his compound
at dawn and rising hurriedly found
a tiger creating havoc among his
pigs. He fired at the intruder and
killed him in one shot at short range
The animal was eight and half
feet long and stood three feet high
at the shoulder Investigation show
ed that the tiger had swum across
from the mainland province Well
esley), resting midway at the leper
island of Pulau Jerepak.

WONDERED WHY

Many pale, sickly persons wonder

"I was always very fond OF coffee
and drank 1t every day, never had

Says Americans Are Always Talking

A newspaper controversy has be.
gun on the subject of British and
American oratory. A Canadian cor
respondent declared that it was no
ticeable at the Pan-Anglican confer
ence how much better the Americans
spoke than the Englishmen, and a
British member of Parliament cor
roborated this statement by declaring
that the best of the American speak
ers at that congress were as good
as the best English speakers, and
their general average higher.
Sir Charles Wyndham now makes
the following contribution to the de-
bate:
1t must be remembered that
Americans are always talking. They
imbibe fluency with their mothers
milk. l do not consider, however.
that there is anything like the same
proportion of really good public
speakers in America as in Engand .

STREET SINKS INTO NINE; BUR.
les MAN.

Centralia Especially Completing
work at the Centralla Colliery, Mi
chael Mekosh was walking on street
In the suburbs to his home when he
felt the ground tremble under his
feet. This was followed by a loud
noise as a section OF the street caved
in, making hole ninety feet deep
and twenty-five feet wide. Mekosh
was carried to the bottom.
Many times during his thrilling
descent large pieces of rock grazed
his head, while several struck him,
breaking an arm and several ribs.
He fought hard to keep his head
clear from dirt so as to prevent suf-
location.
He called for help and residents of
the neighborhood rushed to the scene
with ropes.
The miner was told to fasten the
end of a rope which was lowered
about his bo1y. BY hard work he
freed himself from the rock and dirt,
after which he was drawn up TO
solid ground.
He tainted and was about to fall
into the hole again when John Gar
vim leaned over the brink and grasp
ed him. Other men held on to Garvin
and he and Mekosh were pulled up
to safety.
The cave-in was caused by the coll
lapse OF mine working.

ECZEMA SEEMED INCURABLE.
Body was Raw--Discharged from
Hospitals as Hopeless-Cuticura
Remedies Cured Him.

@Frcm the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitals four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure.
Six months ago we purchased set of
Cuticura Remedies. The result was truly
marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

WHAT is A CORN COB.

Harrisburg Especially The legal
status of corncobs is making trouble
In Harrisburg's city government. and
City Solicitor Seitz will be called up
On to determine whether the cobs
are to be classed as kitchen refuse
or as miscellaneous garbage.
1t appears that when the contract
for the collection of the city's gar
bage was given out that garbage was
divided into three kinds, kitchen,
ashes and miscellaneous refuse, in
cluding broken crockery. glass and
the like. The contractors found that
corncobs would not go through their
machinery when the green corn sea-
son came along and have asked that
housekeepers be required to put the
cobs in the receptacle with sardine
cans and smashed dishes Some of
them have refused to do so and
threaten to resist penalties.

A Grateful son-in-La,v.

H. H. Rogers, on his return voy-
age from Bermuda last month said
one evening in the smoking room of
his travelling companion, Mark
Twain:
HE is an incorrigible humorist
Even in his most emotional moments
he can't help being funny.
when he married in Elmira in
1870 his father-in-law made him a
present of a fine, well-furnished
house in Buffalo.
THE present came as surprise.
Mark Twain knew nothing of it till,
amid a party of relatives and friends,
he was shown over the luxurious
place. Then, when they told him
1t was his, tears filled his eyes.
But he was still the humorist,
and turning to his father-in-law he
said, though in a voice that trembled
aTlittle:
:" Mr.. Langdon, whenever you're
in Buffalo, II it's as much as twice
a year, you are to come right up
here and take tea. You can stay all
night, too, If you want to, and it
shan't cost you a cent Washing

TRANSFORMATION In Egynt

1t is curious fact that the Nile
and most of the canals in Egypt run
north and south. The wind blows
nearly all the year from the north,
and thus furnishes the cheapest pro-
pelling power for boats going south.
When the boats return north the
rapid current of the Nile is the mo-
tive power. The regularity of the
wind and the steadiness of the cur
rent are two reasons why boats pro-
PEELED by any other power are so lit
tie used. Time is not so important
an element in business in Egypt as
as in some other countries, and it
does not matter, therefore, that
boats propelled by wind or curr
are slnW

BERRY PICKER SHOT.

South Bethlehem Especially John
Balchi, aged 26 years, and his com
panion, Lewis Gallo, went up into
the mountains to pick berries. I'm
knowingly they trespassed on the
property of farmer who notified
them to leave. Unable to understand
English they were slow to heed the
demand
This enraged the farmer, who
rushed into the house and camo out
with double-barreled shotgun.
Pointing It at Balchi, who was thirty
five yards away, the farmer fired.
Balchi's back and limbs were filled
with shot and he was hurried to- a
hospital here, seriously wounded
The mans assailant is unknown.

CHILD FATALLY BURNED.

Nazareth Especially A fire occur
red at the home of Gustave Kiefer,
on Cedar Street, by which an in
fant daughter of Mr. Kiefer was fa-
tally burned. Gasoline had been
sprinkled on the stairway and floor
of the second story in efforts to drive
out insects while the house was being
cleaned. A match dropped from Mr..
Kiefer's pocket and he stepped on it,
The gasoline ignited and flames shot
up on all sides.
Mr.. Kiefer picked up little Ruth,
his 6-months-old daughter, and dash
ed down the stairway through the
flames. The child was frightfully
burned about the face and breast,
and it is believe she cannot recover.
Mr.. Kiefer was burned on the left
arm.
Mrs. Kiefer grabbed her little son,
Edward, and ran to a second-story
window She threw the child out
into the arms of Milton Walter and
then jumped, Mr.. Walter catching
her. Neither was much injured.

SNAKE IN SITTING ROOM.

Reading Especially. = Mrs. Calvin
Himmelberger, of Stroudsburg, this
county had an encounter with a
black snake. She was engaged in
cleaning her sitting-room when she
reached down to pick up what she
thought was a piece of rope lying
on the floor. To her great surprise
it was a snake.
The reptile began to wriggle to
get loose and raised its head to
strike. Securing a firepoker Mrs.
Himmelberger beat the reptile until
life was extinct. 1t was three and a
half feet in length. How it got into
the room is a mystery.
