The Boy Escaped.

A boy in Liverpool, O., was sent by
his mother at IL o'clock at night to
the house of a neighbor. The neighbor
stood in fear of robbers, and as he
heard the boy on the steps he opened
his window and pointed revolver and
threatened to shoot. The boy was too
surprised to give his name. and the
man fired at him six times. Not a bull
let touched the lad, and wheE he got
his wits back he said:
"Mr. Blank, ma sent me oyer to see
II you had any liniment in the house.
pa has hurt his back!"
That boy belongs to the lucky class.
and will live to a good old age.

training ship, whose band welcomed
us, accompanied by the shouts of the
white.clad boys.

gravels all over the north temperate
