clothing torn from her body. In.
tuitively the mother was soon on
the scene, and removing one of
her own skirts, the child, who
was now wholly UNCONSCIOUS of
her surroundings, was tenderly
wrapped up, and carried toward
the house. A physician was
hastily sent for, but death came
Ions before the physician; and
had he been there when her faith
er first discovered her, her life
could not have been saved.
That the bull was responsible
for the terrible death of the child,
is not questioned by those who
saw her lacerated and bruised
body, and saw the dreadful bat
tleground.
What enraged the beast, or led
him to attack the child, will never
be known. There were no bril-
liant'colors in her clothing. But
the lnfurlated animal like a de-
mon from hell, with tail lashlng
the air, head bent down, horns
extending forward, with fright
full believing charged down upon
the defenseless child who was do
ing her utmost to escape-lmpal
ing her upon his horns and toss
ing her up in the air to fall down
and be trampled upon. From
the way the ground was torn up,
this was kept up for distance
of more than two hundred yards,
and ceased OILY when the almost
lifeless body was tossed into the
bushes.
Words cannot express the an.
guish of her parents, her SIX
brothers and sisters, and her
many young friends-for she
possessed that disposition that
won to her the good will of every
one who knew her.
The funeral took place at the
home at 10 O'Clock Tuesday morn
ing, services being conducted by
her pastor, Rev. Diehl, of the
Presbyterian church, assisted by
Rev. McGarvey, of the M. E
church. Besides those who went
afoot or on horseback, there were
sixty. three carriages and buggies
IN the funeral procession that
followed the remains to the GENE

church where interment was
made. Six of her young lady

Great wars. pregnant with bloodshed

have very often been the outcome of

ed. More often was this the case in
earlier times than It is now. Every
one knows that William the Conqueror
lost his life in France through his
horse treading on redhot cinder
while he was experimenting the burn
ing OF Nantes, but few people know
the fact which gave rise to the cam
paign that cost William his life.
During the latter part of his reign
he became abnormally stout and con
sequently the laughingstock of not
only his subjects, but his neighbors

temporary, Philip of France, compared

The whitla kidnapping case has re.

introduced In the legislature Of Penn

was from a public school in that city
that little Willie WAS abducted. The
father j. p. Whitla, is n lawyer, and,
though he Is not very wealthy himself,
one Of the little fellows uncles is a
millionaire. and the abductors knew
there was money enough in the family
to render It likely they could succeed
in obtaining q good ransom II they
could spirit the child away. They
counted rightly in this respect, for Mr..

representative went TO him aud said.

shoes. She VIII put those on when

The manager half distracted, rushed
about the house and succeeded In rails

ment of 1t was short lived, as they
were soon captured.
Such cases in the past have some
times had more lamentable results
than ensued In this instance, and men
tai torture ending In death have not
infrequently resulted from acts Of the
abductors, so that the plea for i'm
position of the death penalty when
offenders Of this kind are apprehended
can be made a very strong one.
1t was an awful ordeal through
which the father went in the Whitla
case, and when the lad stepped or a
trolley car and slipped into the hotel
in Cleveland where Mr.. Whitla, ac-
cording to instructions from the kid
napers, was awaiting him the scene
was most pathetic and dramatic. After
he had had time TO greet and caress
bis son Mr. Whitla, with tears running
down his cheeks, made little speech
to the cheering crowd in which he said
his heart was too full for utterance,
but that he thanked his friends for
their many kindnesses. AS soon as he
could get his wife at Sharon on the
telephone he called to her over the wire:
"Oh, mother, have Willie here safe
in my arms! Glory to God! 1t is the
happiest day in my life"

HUSBANDS DUTY TO HIS Wife.

The man who declared that o sunshiny
husband makes a merry, beautiful home,
worth having, worth working for, had a
fine conception Of one Of the chief charac-
t~eristics OF a happy household. If man is
breezy, CHEEKY, considerable and sympathe-
tic; hiawife sings in her heart over her
buildings and mending basket, counts the
hours until he returns at night, and re-
news her youth in the security she feels OF
his appreciation and admiration. You may
think 1t weak or childish, II you please, but
1t Is the admired wife who hears words OF
praise and receives smiles Of commenda-
ton, who is capable, discreet and executive
We have seen o timid, weak, self-distrust-
ing little body fairly bloom into strong,
seR-reliant womanhood under the tonic
and the cordial of c~ompanionship with a
husband who really went out Of his way to
find occasion for showing her how fully he
trusted her judgement, and how tenderly
he deferred to her opinion. In home life
there should be no jar, no striving for
place, no insisting on prerogatives or d.
vision Of interests. The husband and wife
are each the complement Of the other. And
1t Is just as much his duty to be cheerful
as tits hers to be patient; his rightto bHng
10Y into the door as it Is hers to sweep and
garnish the pleasant interior. A family
where the daily walk Of the father makes
life a festival Is filed with something like
heavenly Denediction.-Leesville News.

Good words do more than hard speeches;

only to make him bind it closer to him.
Leighton.
The great duty Of life is not to give pain;
