HIS LEG WAS BROKEN
New Providence Boy Victim of
Peculiar Accident.

Carey Macy, of New Providence, a
Freshman of Penn College, met with
a singular and painful accident at
the college campus last evening, the
breaking of both bones of the right
leg just above the ankle. Young Macy
was at one side of the athletic field
where he had been watching the
practice work of the foot ball squad.
At the close of the work he started
to cross the field and was running
when his foot went into a depression
of some kind, throwing him forward
and suddenly swapping both bones OF
the leg above the ankle. The accident
was seen by q numDer of companions
who were near and no one thought
the lad had been hurt. When the boy
who came up thought possibly a
sprained ankle had resulted. The
breaking of the leg seemed so I'M
reasonable under the circumstances
that no one who was near could be-
lieve that so serious a hurt could
have been caused.
Another Boys Misfortune.
Frank Mitchell, twelve years old,
son of MI and Mrs. Andrew Mitchell,
sustained a broken arm Tuesday al
ternoon about 2:30 o'clock in scut-
he with a companion. The boys were
on North Market street near the
Orient theatre. Young Mitchell was
standing to one side and the compan-
ion pushed and tripped him, causing
him to fall forward. AS he fell he
extended his arm to break the force
of the fall and a disIocation OF the
wrist and a fracture of the bones or
the left forearm resulted. The boy
was taken to a physician immediate
ly and a photograph and an exray ex-
animation of the injury showed the
dislocation to have been fully reduced
and the bones of me forearm properly
placed. The injury was painful, but
the lad bore up under the suffering
it caused like a young trojan.

One woman in five In the United
States has abandoned the domestic
life and has become a wage Garner.
Even this does not accurately state
the situation. In country districts
only two women out OF every IL are at
work. but in cities, that is, wherever
industrial opportunities are present.
two women out of every eve are at
work, nearly one-third Of the total
women population.
How far the father of the family has
ceased to be the sole supporter thereof
is shown in the statistics gathered In
"a cities and tabulated by the census
bureau. The total number OF women
at work in the ~ cities is 964,695. or

FEW LIBERTY POLES NOW.
But They Were Once Very Near to the
Heart of Our Forefathers.

An interesting feature Of the early
history of our country was the liberty
pole, so dear to the heart of our fore
fathers, but generally unknown to the
present generation.
Liberty poles were for the most part
erected after the revolutionary war
was so long an acknowledged fact that
some picturesque expressions
After the republic was established
no more was heard of them until the
war of 1912 reused the antagonism Of
the people, and up went the long
shafts again, each a protest against
British aggression.
During the whisky instruction in
the last decade OF the eighteenth cen
fury, when seven counties in Pennsyl-
vania and Virginia arrayed themselves
in defiance of the government, lib
erty poles shot up during the night in
the rebellious towns and villages,
painted a bright red as signals Of
war.

presidential campaigns in the first part
Of the last century by both Wings and
Democrats.
They were usually made of white
pines, dashed together until they
reached a great height. The more fer
vid the zeal of the party, the higher
rose the pole. Sailors were often
brought out from the seaboard to in
land towns to assist In the erection
and to rig flags, to the amazement and
delight of the boys who knew nothing
of ships or seamen.
Mass meetings were held under
theee>ppc.es, which were often regarded
with superstitious affection. The blow
ing down of a pole by a high wind dur
ing q campaign chilled the hopes OF
one party and cheered the others.
These singular emblems of protest
against oppression have wholly disap-
peared of late years throughout the
country. except in some remote dis
tricts where old customs are still cher
ished by rural communities.-Sunday

beneath the gathering darkness OF
death. for there had been no message
from the governor.
SO Judson Mcleod assembled the
steps and stood upon the scaf1old.
And 1t lacked two minutes Of the APP
pointed time,
The priest drew near TO him and
prayed for his soul's salvation. But
the condemned man turned his eys
to the hillside afar off and gazed de-
s%pairingly along the road that de-
scended the hill towards the Jail. 1t
was the road leading from the town.
And even as he looked his feet were
bound with a cord and his knees like
wise. and a moose OF rope was put
about his neck, with d great knot be-
hind his left ear, for go It is that all
hangmen do. And then the light OF
the world was shut out from his eyes.
for a black bag was drawn swiftly
over his face and fastened beneath
the chin.
And the sheriff, who stood at the
foot of the scaffold, lifted up his eyes
and beheld afar off a cloud Of dust
appear suddenly upon the road on the
hillside. A lad on horseback was
coming towards the jail at full speed.
And although he was still distant
nearly a mile, the keen eye of the
sheriff recognized him. He was a
messenger from the telegraph office.
None saw him but the sheriff. The
eyes of all others were riveted in NOR
bid tension upon the quaking figure
on the scaffold. Men dared not speak,
and they feared to move. The shadow
of impending death stilled their
hearts with dread, and a silence like
unto that of the grave brooded upon
the scene.
The sheriff slipped his watch into
his pocket and raised his cap. 1t was
a signal to the hangman. And the next
instant Judson Mcleod plunged down
through the opened floor. His body
jerked convulsively for a moment and
then hung limp and still, by which
sign all men knew his neck was
broken.
Now the sheriff had loved Molly
O'Brien, and it was 1890.

commit the deed. though all men knew
in their hearts that Judson Mcleod
was a villain.
So the Judge had passed sentence
upon him, condemning him to be
hanged by the neck till he died; and
he had set Friday, the 18th day of
September, as the day of execution.
And the sheriff had said: THE drop
VIII fall at $780," which was no idle
statement, for every mar in the coun-
ty knew that If the sheriff said the
drop would fall at 1890. it would be
wen so.
Now the sheriff was a quiet man and
truthful.
When Judson Mcleod came forth
from the prison 1t was &c minutes past
the hour of noon His face was hag-
gard and his eyes shone large In their
sunken sockets; for he was a young
man, and she shadow of the gallows
creeping ACROSS the face of the calen-
dar through the long, bright summer
had chilled his soul with terror.
On either side of him walked a Jail
guard, and following close was a black
robed priest, holding in his clasped
hands a crucifx and chatting dole
fully.
But the prisoner neither heard the
priest nor needed the presence of the
awed spectators. His terror-stricken
soul was conscious only of the gal-
lows-the grim minister of death bid
ing silently the hour &c It's mission.
But when suddenly the sun smiled
forth upon him from the darkened
sky there fitted across HE counten-
ance an answering smile, for unto his
heart the %sunburst was an omen of de-
liverance. Yet the meaning thereof
was known to no man save only the
| sheriff, for OF those that were gath

| but him who knew that the life OF
Judson McEecd might be spared al
the final moment.

had come. Yet the sherif minded

smiled upon him.
Within the yard we're many men.

There had been no hanging at the
county jail for well-nigh a generation,
albeit two years ago a black man had
been strung to a tree neal by, but 1t
was in the night time and there was
much haste. So it happened that there
were many among those now gathered
within the prison yard who had never
seen a man hanged. Yet they had not
been drawn thither by mere idle curl
osity to behold a fellow-creature done
to death, but that they might with
their own eyes bear witness to the
righteous punishment of Judson Nc
Leod.
For Judson Mcleod, coming to
town as a stranger, while 1t was yet
winter-for it was less than a year
ago-had beguiled the trustful heart
of Molly O'Brien, for he was fair Of
speech and his purse ministered
wcrthily to his convivlal tastes, and he
was withal a handsome man. And
N day It had come to pass that in a
fit of jealous wrath he slew Molly
O'Brien and cast her body into the
creek.
