SAYS SHE HAS
BEEN TO HEAVEN
Paroled from Reform School, Still
Insists that She Went to Paradise.

Paroled from Reform School, Still
Insists that She Went to Paradise.
Wichita, Kan, June 13.-Miss
Eula Wilson, the Wichita girl who
two years ago claimed that she died
and went to heaven, has been re-
leased from the Girls Industrial
School at Beloit and is again in
Wichita living with her parents. She
still insists on the veracity of her
story.
"Of course l insist the story is
true" she said. DO you think /
would tell lie about such a thing
as that? Why, it is just as plain
now as it was that night. am not
going to give any more lectures and
have no idea that l shall again ap-
pear in public. l am going to stay
right at home and help my parents"
All of the spring of 1907 Eula
Wilson, slender fifteen-year-old
girl, lay in bed in a semi-conscious
condition. One night when the doctor
was present she apparently died and
the undertaken was called. He
came in the morning and found the
girl sitting up. She was evidently
entirely well and has never since
been sick.
She arose from the bed while the
family was around her mourning and
walking across the room, stopped,
opened her eyes and asked the
whereabouts of the Lord. She then
told of visiting heaven and described
it. She said after lingering there a
while the Lord called her to Him
and said she would be sent back to
save her friends and to work for
Him.
People came from all over the
United States to see the girl and she
finally fell under the influence of re-
ligious fanatics who took her from
her parents. The Juvenile Court
then stepped in and she was sent to
the Industrial School. While at the
school more mail arrived for her
than for all the officials and the
other inmates together, but she was
not allowed to see it. Mrs. Perry,
matron of the school, agreed with
the attorneys for the child's parents
that she should be given a parole and
it was done.

How Hair Grows.

A single hair, which can support
a weight of two ounces, is so elactic
that it ma be stretched to one-third
of its entire length and then regain
it's former size and condition. DR..
Pincus has measured the growth OF
hair by cutting off circles about one
inch in diameter from the heads CT
healthy mel, and so comparing the
growth of the patches with that of
the rest CT the hair. He found that
the growth rate generally became
slower after cutting; that in some
cases the hair on the patches grew
at the same rate as the rest, but that
it never grew any faster.
The ordinary length of the hair
on the head rang.s between twenty
two inches and about forty-five
inches, the latter being considered
unusually long. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the hair c. the beard
grows at the rate of one line and a
half week; this will give a length
of six and half incnes in the course
of year. For a Ian eighty years
Of age, who has been a clean shaver
from Carly maturity, no less than
twenty-seven feeL or beard must
have fallen befor the edge of the
razor,

ST. CHILD'S DAY.

The Presbyterian Sunday school

The services were held in the church,
which was handsomely decorated
with flowers and evergreens. The

hour for same given to the Sunday
school for their exercises. Superin-
tendent Andrew Thompson was as

The exercises were opened with sing
ing. Pastor Swift then offered pray
er after which the infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Archibald Brown was
baptised. The several responsive
readings were conducted by assistant
superintendent Salmon and Stocker.
The children of the primary class
then gave number of recitations
which were well delivered by them
and highly appreciated by the large
audience. The singing by this class
was most eXcellently rendered. Miss
piano while Misses Florence Watts
Kate Swift and Margaret Mumford
led the singing. The songs and
choruses by the whole school
were of very inspiring nature, the
school was ably assisted by the
church choir who had Mr.. Harry
Preumers, violinist, as an accessory.
Supt. Thompson made short but
very forcible appeal for funds to help
along the Sunday school movement
in our land; after the collection was
taken, Dr.. Swift delivered very in
teresting sermonette which was pleas
ing and instructive to the children
and was greatly enjoyed by the rest
of the audience. After some united
singing by the congregation and

"BLACK HAND" MEN ARRESTED
First Move i'm an Effort to Rid
Western Pennsylvania of these
Men


Johnstown, Pa, June 12.-Eight
alleged leaders of a so-called Black
Hand society were arrested late
last night at Barnesboro, near here,
charged with conspiring to commit
murder. The arrests were made
at the instance of an Italian detec-
tive, who conducted a three months
investigation.
Philip Cherrico, one of the men,
was discharged from prison, where
he served a term for kidnapping.
The men recently held meeting,
it is charged, in which three promi-
nent Italian merchants were named
to pay tribute money or be killed.
The detective, it is said, overheard
the plot from a place of conceal
ment.
The arrests are the first made
in the effort to rid western Penn
sylvania of this class OF criminals.
Officers are investigating conditions
in every small town within fifty
miles of Johnstown, and it is as
serted evidence has been found that
Barnesboro was the main scene of
Black Hand operations in this vi
cinity.
The arrested men were taken to
the Ebensburg jail.

POINTING The BONE
Queer Superstition Of the Native
Blacks of Australia.


The native blacks of Australia
are steped in superstition. A black
fellow will on no account go near
the spot where another black has
been buried. He has a deep rooted
aversion to one particular bird-the
wagtail-because, he says, him all
day talk, talk along a white feller,
tellum all about black feller," and
no opportunity is lost of killing
these little birds.
Many tribes bury" their dead by
sticking them up into the forks Of
trees and there leaving them till the
flesh has either dropped or been TAX
en-, leaving the bones clean. These
bones are then taken down, the larg-
er ones buried and the smallest hand
ed round as keepsakes to those senar-
ly related to the deceased. Should
one black fellow wish the death of
a rival or enemy he points the bone
at him. This means that he takes
one of his late relations bones from
his dilly bag and points it, in. the
presence of witnesses, at the man he
wishes to get rid of, all the time
pouring forth threats and curses.
Strange as it may seem, the one
pointed at will often languish and
eventually die, perhaps in month,
perhaps in year, for no sooner is
the bone pointed than he makes up
his mind to die, and there is no saw
ing him.

A Most Useful Event,

The way in which the first auto
matte steam engine was produced
was undoubtedly this-and it shows
how comparatively easily a really
great invention may sometimes be
made. 1t was the duty of Humphrey
Potter, boy, to turn q stop-cock to
let the steam into the cylinder and
one to let in water to condense it at
certain periods of each stroke of the
engine, and. if this were not done at
the right time, the engine would
stop. He noticed that these move
ments of the stopcock handles took
place in unison with the movements
of certain portions of the beam of
the engine. He simply connected
valve handles with the proper por-
tions of the beam by strings, and
the engine became automatic-a
.r-! c-c--fnl result.
