Harrisonburg Family's
Thrilling Experience

Harrisonburg, Va, May "a
From the other side of the world
comes the news of the chloroforming
of Mrs. George +. Sipe and her two
daughters for the evident purpose
of robbery, which was frustrated by
the timely arrival of Mr.. Sipe, who,
it is said, gave the miscreants several
terrific blows over the head with
his cane and a moment later brought
about their arrest.
This sensational story comes from
the far off port ofJoppa, in Palestine
at the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean Sea, between five and six
thousand miles from America. 1t
will be remembered that the Sipel
family left Harrisonburg severa
months ago for trip through the
Holy Land and Europe.
1t seems that the Sipes arrived
in the harbor near Joppa at time
when the seas were too rough for
the ship to land safely in harbor.
Accordingly the passengers left
the ship and were taken to land
safely in small boats. And it was
during this transfer that Mr.. Sipe,
became separated from Mrs. Sipe
and his daughters.
The story goes that when Mr..
Sipe, who followed the party in
another boat, finally joined his
family on land he found Mrs. Sipe
unconscious and strange man,
who claimed to be physician, was
endeavoring, as he said, tc
restore her from fainting spell.
Mr.. Sipe, however, quickly realized
that his wife had been chloroformec
by the man, who it is reported hao
also chloroformed two of his daugh.
ters.
it was at this juncture that Mr.
Sipe whaled away with his cane
landing heavy blows on the heads
OF the two men. The outcome OF
the affair was the arrest of the
miscreants and the thwarting o.
their plans to rob the three helpless
women.

Many wise word has been spoken

Do you feel any bad effects from
your Whit of cyanogen gas?-Rich-
mOnd News Leader.
There's no question but that the
career of the comet has been

Maybe the comet was frightened
away by the high cost of living.
We have discovered that it's
safe and sound comet, anyway.
Can it be possible that HALEY was
a nature faker?-Wasington Times.

skillful pilots gain their reputation
from storms and tempests.-Epicurus
0riuin Of White Race,

The discussion Of the precise locality
where the primitive man developed
into the white race is by no means
settled as yet. The old theory that the
Aryan or white race began in Asia
is still held by many high authorities,
but other authorities equally high
maintain that the original white
mans country" was Europe and that
from Europe the race spread to other
parts of the world, 1t Is safe to say
that the last word upon the subject
has not yet been spoken. The debate
is still open and will probably remain
so for very long time to come.-New
York American. ~

Her population has nassed the 100000 line. Tokio and Berlin. which are also above the 2,000.- ooo mark. are usually placed ahead of ch,capo in the statistical tables. She has recently passed them, however, and she is growing faster than .either of tbem although, for an old world city, parl,n ;s increa sing her Population at a rapid pace.
 Chicago Is the worlds greatest rail way center, it's largest lumber mart and it's most important grain and meat collecting and distributing point. To avery spot in North America which Is touch cd bv rail through tickets can be obtained at Chicago It Is by far the most important shipping point on the Great Lakes.
