Old Lifting Machine That Long Ago
Proved a Health Preserver.

The secret OF perpetual youth, which
has permitted Uncle Joe" Cannon to
be as young as he is at 70, has just
been rediscovered here by former
senator from New Hampshire, says
the Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Herald. Henry w. Blair, who
is no youngster himself, having been
born in 1884, and the present speaker
were fellow members of the house 80
years ago. Both at that time were in
poor health. They suffered from in
digestion and were so frail and puny-
looking that each anticipated the ne
cessity of purchasing bouquet to
place with reverent hands upon the
grave of the other They lived in the
same boarding house in those days
and, to prolong their lives, entered
into partnership for the purchase of a
lifting machine, which they erected in
a hallway outside of their rooms and
upon which they practiced diligently
night and morning with view to the
Improvement of their physical beings.

Had Done His Best.

Representative Adam Bede Of Min
nssota is credited with the story OF
the boy with the disreputably dirty
face. who was sent to the town pump
by the teacher, with the scriptural in
junction, to wash and be clean"
He returned with the chin and
lower part OF his face looking rather
pale, but his cheeks and forehead re-
manned as dirt-hued as before. The
children roared at his comical appear
ance, and, when the teacher asked
him why he had not cleaned his en-
tire face, he answered.

By the way, convention oratory is

eyes on their own orators, and very
little latitude is allowed the opposition

watch the frantic gyrations of some

placidly on. "Twenty-second ward, is

CLOSE CALL FOR TWO MEN.
Failed to Cross the Bow Of the Cha
teaugay with Power Boat.

Burlington, July 21.--Herbert l.. Pit
cher, proprietor of the Comeata Lunch
room, and Louis Pigeon one of his en-
ployes, narrowly escaped death yester-
day afternoon.
Mr.. Pitcher and Mr.. Pigeon were run
ming Mr.. Pitchers power boat inside
the breakwater, when the Chateaugay,
which was just starting on her trip to
St Adams bay, approached. The pilot
on the steamer seeing that the boat
was in his course, whistled several
times TO warn the occupants but they
evidently thought there was sufficient
time TO cross in front of the steamer.
The Chateaugay Immediately began to
back paddle, but not in time to avoid
an accident, for the wheel struck the
bow Of the boat and hit Mr.: Pitcher
who had jumped into the water and
was attempting to swim away from
the steamer. Pigeon had also jumped
into the lake and was winning away
from the wheel A life buoy was
thrown ont the ChatcaugRy and Arth
ur shequin, steward at the yacht club,
and Harry Bacon hearing the cries for
help, rowed TO the scene of the aeeid
ent and arrived just in time to save
Pigeon from drowning. After the ac-
cident the power boat with its engine
going at fun speed, furnished an amns
ing sight, as it described circles around
the bay until it was caught.
