PLUCK MORE THAN LUCK.

There is something in luck, but there
is more IN pluck. And the old-fashion-
ed virtues Of industry, frugality, sobri-
ETY., self control, purity of body and of
mind, with heroic determination to
work while it is called today. will not
be denied their reward. Misfortune
may come, broken health, the failure of
of hopes, the fulfillment of great am
bitIOns, but the young man who has
started out in life with an equipment of
these virtues and who holds on to them

A Narrow Escape.

Mrs. John Gold of Nebraska was &C.
cidentally shot at her home last evening
about six o'clock and had a narrow escape
from a very serious injury. A young
son aged II was examining an automatic
shotgun, supposing it TO be empty, but
which unfortunately contained shell.
He was sitting on couch in the kitchen
and Mrs. Golu was standing short dis
tance from him when the weapon was
discharged, the charge of fine shot pass
ing across the front of Mrs. Colds right
leg at the thigh. No bones we're broken
but deep hole was cut in the flesh, and
had the shot been two inches lower il
would have torn off the limb. The shot
after striking Mrs. Gold passed on and
through table, making hole severa
inches in diameter. DIR. j. G. Dunn wa'
summoned to attend the injured woman
and states that while the injury is painful
it is not dangerous and the patient was
getting along nicely.

Reading Clubs Reception.

The third annual reception of the ladies
of the Tionesta Reading Club to their hus-
bands and friends was held in the spacious
parlors of the Kelly mansion on New Years
night Mrs. A. b. Kelly acting as hostess of
the evening, and who was gracefully as
sisted by Mrs Suie May Sharpe, President
of the Club. Soon after the assembling of
the guests, in all about fifty, a lunch of
surprising elegance was served in five
courses, in a pleasant discussion of which
more than an hour was consumed. This
feature was followed by a number of pretty
solos by Prof +. w. Gill, with exquisite ac-
compartments on the piano by Mrs James
d. Davis. Then came the feature of the
evening in the form of Il guessing contest
entitled "Courtship in the Vegetable King
DOM" Each guest was furnished with a
card on which was printed Il poem with
missing words relating to some plant or
vegetable and these the guest was supposed
to supply. This contest furnished no end
of amusement and interest and soon the
company was deeply delying into the mys-
terious puzzle. 0fthe 2S missing words the
highest number solved was 10, and the
judges awarded the prize a pretty compila-
ton of Burns poems, to Mrs, II. A. Bailey.
The hour of leave taking having arrived
the guests bade their gracious hostess ''good
night after expressing heartfelt thanks to
her and the Club for the royal entertain
ment and pleasures of the evening.
The Tionesta Reading Club is noted for
the elegance and beauty of its receptions,
but without doubt the one here noted
shone as the most brilliant and enjoyable
of them all.

friends of Mrs. L. Agnew to the number
of so or more gathered at her home to
tender her birthday surprise and fare

profound ignorance of what was about to
transpire and not until almost the last
guest had arrived could she unrsvel the
mystery. A delightful evening was
passed, during which bountiful lunch
was discussed. Mrs. Agnew was pro-
sented three pretty pieces of cut glass in
remembrance of the occasion, aud this
feature Of the evening together with the
thought that soon she was to part from
these kind friends to go with her family
to new home, affected her to tears, as
likewise were most of the guests. This
bit of sadness was soon dispelled, how
ever, and the friends departed wishing
their amiable bostess very many happy
returns of the day.

Negro Hanged Twice.

Nashville, Ca, July 9.-That the
hangman's moose Is a bunglesome
and merciless mode of execution was
clearly demonstrated here to-day
when Marshal Lewis, colored, was
led back upon the crudely construct
ed gallows, blood flowing from his
mouth and begging for water, after
Sheriff L. c. Avera had sprung the
trap and the body had dropped six
feet.
The second attempt proved unsuc-
cessful in breaking the condemned
mans neck, death resulting in Is
minutes from strangulation.
Lewis shot and killed Clifford
Rutherford, assistant postmaster at
Lenox, Ca, April IL.
He confessed his guilt.
BY publishing a sketch of his life
he earned sufficient money to pay for
the transportation of his body to his
home at Oakfield, Ga. He was above
the average of his race in intelli-
genee.
The few spectators who witnessed
the spectacle were visibly affected by
TIE gruesomeness. The drop of six
feet stretched the cotton rope so that
the mans feet touched the earth. He
was cut down and with the aid Of one
man mounted the scafford second
time. He talked coherently.

BRUTAL ASSAULT IN PICKENs.
Sam Vaughn, a Negro, Now Held on
Suspicion.

Pickens, July 10.-One Of the most
brutal crimes that has happened in
this county for some time was COM
mitted some days ago on respect
able lady, S3 years old, living by
herself, though close to one of her
sons. After she had fastened the
doors and blew out the light man
came to her bed and demanded her
money. She said, II have no money,
my son has it." He then assaulted
her.
He gained admittance by going up
a ladder to an upstairs window. The
lady does not know positively who 1t
was, as it was dark, but knows 1t
was a negro by his kinky hair.
The matter was kept quiet until
yesterday. Suspicion rested on Sam
Vaughn, a negro who was working
at the settlement. He begged his
employer yesterday morning to can
eel the contract, and the latter did
so. Vaughn made one statement
which, connected with other circum-
stances, led to suspicious, and he was.
arrested yesterday evening and
placed in jail last night.
The people of the eastern part OF
the county are considerably wrought
up over the deed. -.

A Study in Anatomy.

The brain is the headquarters Of
the nervous system and contains the
central Offices Of the Anatomical
Telephone company.
When the suburban nerve center
says, Hello, CENTRAL" the brain eth.
er replies What number?" Busy,
or "Out Of order," as the case may
be.
Sometimes the wires are crossed
and the company fails to declare any
dividends, thus placing the entire
brain in the hands of a receiver.
From the brain issues the spine,
which is sometimes useful in matri-
mony, although rarely strong enough
in man for practical purposes, and
constantly growing weaker the long
er he is married.
On top of the head the hair grows,
or is supposed to. In some cases,
however, it fails to grow despite the
most painstaking efforts.
In ladies there are two kinds of
hair-viz: the imported and domes-
tic. In gentlemen also two kinds
namely, permanent and transient.
The permanent is seen in wild men,
the transient in civilized men when
young.
At one time all the hairs were
carefully numbered, but the prac.
tice has been discontinued owing
to great pressure Of other matters.
