SANK IN QUlKSAND.
GIVES Up HOPE AND COUNTS MO.
slESTS OF LIFE LEFT.
Saved at Last Minute in Lonely Quag-
miro all Night, Water Was above
AiS Chin N'hcn ElcSc1od

In the fanciful tales of horrible and
terrifying experiences from Poe and
Hugo no situation is described moro
terrible than that in which Edward
Tiefenbach, on Torrington, Conn,
found himself for eight hours until
he was rescued Friday moring at the
moment when death seemed newt
able.
Like one caught in the quicksands,
with the added horror of the man
penned in cavern of the sea by the
risig tide. Tiefenbac.l faced the dou-
Bile in a lonely pond throughout the
night AS his body vas slowly suck
led downard into the soft, yielding
mud his progress toward death was
measured by the rise Of the water to-
ward his mouth and nostrils until he
could count ahead the minute and
seconds left him to live.
i Tiefenbach went to Catlin's pond.
tnear HarWinton, for a night OF fish,
ling. He was alone. aud at that time
of night therewas no onein the neigh
}borhod. He rowed out to the south
! ern end OF the pond. where the vat
er is shallow and the bottom IS cover
ed with a soft ooze several feet thick.
Iabout 9 o'clock. while Tiefenbach was
|standing in the boat, a patched place
in the bottom gave way. and Tleten'
ibach through. his feet imbeddlne
themselves in the slime.
! The boat sank quickly. and Tiefer'
!bach, feeling himself being drawn
|down, struggled until he managed tc
ct his feet out of the mud, which was
Eacting like. quicksand, and upon the
bottom of the sunken boat. But the
boat also quickly filed with mud
IaSain entrapping him, and the craf'
Ibegan to sink slowly into the mud.
! Tiefenbach soon discovered tha'
any struggle on his part made the
boat sink quicker, and that his onl!
hnce was to stand still, with the hope
that the boat would reach solid oot
tom, or that daylight would brlns
| some one to his assistance.
;! For hour upon hour TiefenOaci
! stood. while his body was slowly bu
, surely drawn further and furthe
own. He could tell by the rise OF tn
water upon his body that he was sink
) ing deeper and deeper, and as th'
tinterminable night wore on it be
; lcame of an hour or two, then 0
, minutes, until the horrible dealt
{ which had threatened so long snoul'
, oyertake him. The man vas froze'
with horror when the water reache'
; his chin. just as day began to break.
Gradually the water rose until
reached his lower lip, and he had U
}tit his head back to keep it from go

THE pAsTEUH TREATMENT.
How the Patient is Innoculated
Against Hydrophobia.

Many have friends, or at least
know of people who have received
the Pasteur treatment as preventa-
tive of hydrophobia, but few with the
exception Of the medical fraternity,
are familiar with the treatment they
receive. To Pasteur, the eminent
French bacterioloGist, is due the pre-
ventative treatment that is now ad-
mitted to be entirely successfulin the
great majority of cases. After long
experiments Oh animals he demon
strated that innoculatfon of the patti
ent with week virus from an animal
that has died from hydrophobia i'm
parts immunity from a virus Of great
virulence.
On this principle recently bitten
patient is innoculated hyperdermical-
~ with a virus prepared from the
spinal cord removed from a rabbit
infected with hydrophobia, . and
whose yirulence has been attenuated
by being kept for fourteen days in a
dry atmosphere after the time infec-
ton Cat the expiration of this, time
the spinal cord would be entirely in
nocuous). On the second day the
patient is treated with virus prepar-
ed thirteen days before, on the third
day with twelve-day old virus of sue
cessively increasing strength. until
on the fourteenth day he receives
virus of full strength that can be
borne without inconvenience, the
system having been rendered inmu-
ne by the treatment described.
Many thousand cases are treated
every year in various laboratories
throughout the world. and feS cases
are on record where a successful cure
has not been effected.

OCTOBER DAYS.

Leaf and blossom of vine and tree,
Grasses Of meadow and weeds Of
mre,
Autumn is gathering them all to be
Fagots rich for October's fire.
Smoke-like haze over vale and hill,
Flames of scarlet and crimson
bright,
Speckled and golden and brown
and bronze,
Field and forest a-flame with light.
All the glory the year has grown,
Flash and flare into beauty-so;
Feast the eyes on the trappings gay
Soon the pageant will pale, we
know,
Gray and ashen the skies will lower
Gray and ashen the leaves will fall;
over the paling landscape soon
Nature will gather her sombre
pail.
Gather the gold of the leaves that
hang
Like unto banners of brilliant dyes,
Press them, hang them on homely
walls,
Fill them in corners for loving
eyes.
Memory will cherish the Waxen
things,
Keep them, for the sake of the days
now fled;
Embers they for the fire Of Dreams
When the glow of the autumn
world is dead.

\ PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEM.

BY their persistent violations of
law a score of former saloon men
have made themselves liable to Grim
EaI prosecution and yesterday a
flood OF indictments came in against
them. II all the cases are prosecuted
20 the limit the accused men will
have 10 pay thousands of dollars in
fines and spend many days in JAIL
Why have these men acted this
way? 1t is a psychological problem
that is hard to understand 1t is all
the more difficult because of the fact
that reports indicate violations have
not ceased.
Are the saloon men so addicted to
liquor selling that they cannot stop
even though continuance in business
means iron bars for them? or do
they think they can violate the pro-
hibition law with impunity.
When the law went into effect July
l. the better class of saloon men ac-
cepted the result with the best grace
possible and set about to make liv-
ing by other means. 1t was the only
thing 10 do. The game was over and
by quitting when they did they show
ed they were true sports.
The men indicted by the grand jury
are equally abe-bodied and as capa-
BILE Of earning a livelihood in an hon
est way. Why don't they try 1t?
If the blind pig" operators think
they can continue in BUSINESS in defi-
ance Of law and Of public sentiment
tlsy a-o huck!ng against a stone wall,
and they will suffer, They are invlt-
ing the limit Of punishment and If
they continue ther course there will
be but one thing for them-the iron
heel.

TO TEST BLEACHED FLOUR.

As so per cent of the Kansas-made
flour Is put through the ARTIFICIAL
bleaching process the millers of the
state are not apt to find any great
amount of DR.. Crumbine, secretary
of the Kansas board OF health, be-
cause of his crusade against bleach
ed flour.
As to whether the bleaching of
flour Injuries It or not is a question
yet under discussion. Some millers
contend that 1t does, some that 1t does
not. 1t Is understood that DR.. Crum-
bine has not yet com eto a final con
cluslon on that point.
In one Of the northern states, South
Dakota, at the experiment station, ex-
tensive experiments have been made
to ascertain whether the process Of
bleaching the flour really Injuries it
or not, and the conclusion to which
they came was that 1t does have an
injurious effect DR.. Crumblne will
probably have the same experiments
made in Kansas, and II the same re-
suits are found Kansas millers will
be prohibited from bleaching flour
for sale In Kansas
Whether or not It Is found that the
process Of bleaching Injuries the flour
Secretary Crumbine is sure to make
the millers label bleached flour as
such.

ROBERT Il. LEES MOTHER
WAS BURIED ALIVE

The l0lst anniversary of the birth
of General Robert +. Lee recalls the
little known fact that he was born
more than year after his mother
had been buried furnishing to the
world one of the most astonishing
cases of reviviscence on record.
General Lees mother was by no
means an entirely healthy woman and
the physicians at Stratford Va, the
home OF Henry Lee Uight Horse
Harry was kept in constant attend
ance. Mrs. Lee suffered from cata
lepsy and during a prolonged trance
she was pronounced dead.
The body was prepared for inter-
ment, and the morning of the third
day after supposed death the remains
were laid in the family vault in the
graveyard of that pretty little Vir-
ginia village.
Members of the family made fire.
quent visits to the vault and while
the sexton was cleaning up ana ar
ranging some flowers to be placed on
the casket he heard some one calling
for assistance.
OF course the old man was some
what alarmed, but as he had seen
many years of service in the city of
the dead. he did not leave the vault.
He listened closely and the voice was
distinctly heard again.
Becoming satisfied that the voice
came out of the casket he at once
set to work and opened it, discovering
that Mrs. Lee was alive Releasing
the poor woman from her awful fate,
assistance was soon summoned and
within short time she was safe in
bed at her home
Mrs. Lees recovery was slow, but
she regained good health ana little
more than a year after she was buried
alive her youngest son, Robert Il. was
born. and thus came into the world
one of her greatest men.-Brecken-
ridge Democrat.
