after Identifying Thomas Harmon as

more than seven hundred men. pleaded
for law and order and asked that the

the regular channels Of the law.
When her voice was drowned 10y the
cries OF the mob cries that said, NO

out her message of mercy. and II was
read by a powerful-voiced man Here
IS what she wrote:
People of Coatesville. DO not darken the

There is no need Of mob violence

Harmon is widely known in Chester
County. He has worked FOR many farm

and. so far as is known, always has born
a fairly good reputation. He denies that
he is guilty Of the crime. although he
Acknowledges that he was in the neigh

The Identification Of Harmon by Miss
McElhanev took place at the Office of

she was looking ont Of the hotel window

Miss McElhaney saw Harmon pass the

slabs of ice, where pigeons foated and
little auks dove and flew away as the boat ap-
preached. Looking over the side could see
their little black-and-white bodies shooting
the water using their wings vigorously and
leaving trail of bubbles behind. Several seals
were and as rounded point half an
hour later, another village appeared, the pointed
huts hardly distinguishable at first from the
pointed rocks native came out in kayak
to accompany ashore.
At least half the population expressed a
strong desire to go with us, by getting into the
boat when we were making ready to leave,
compromise being finally effected by our taking
along two fine-looking young bucks each dressed
In a new bear and sealskin suit.
At seven the next morning the sun burst
through the mist and shone on the wet rocks,
the white ice in the bay, and also the glisten-
ing black head of a curious seal wallowing
about just off shore Things were moving in
no time. The huskies crawled out from under
the boat cover and beat their fur clothing with
sticks to get out the dampness and the oil
stoves were set going in preparation for break
fast At eight we started inland accompanied
by the Eskimo hunters, carrying rifles and a
few biscuits.
The first ridge rose sharply from the shore,
the trail beyond leading up broad, rocky val
ley. Here we separated my two guides turn
ing up dry creek bed 1t was hard travelling
steep slants Of the ridges, and my .405 Winches-
ter got pretty heavy before we sighted the first
game, in the shape of two bluegray caribou
bulls feeding at the edge Of a rock-rimmed
pond One Of the huskies and l circled around
the down-wnd side and crawled on our bellies
up to big boulder near the head Of the pond,
bringing both animals within range AS we
reached the boulder and peeked cautiously
around 1t the nearer caribou began to get I'M
easy and started out Of the water, but pulled
up on the bank, at range of about 100 yards,
long enough to get himself properly shot At
that distance his coat was much the same shade
of gray as the rocks which he fell.
Not long after leaving this pond we killed,
between us, Is ptarmigan with the 20 rifle. A
few hours later standing on the top of high
ridge looking across big valley with lake
at the bottom, the inland ice cap could be plain
ly seen curving down, smooth and white, smOth-
ering all but this narrow strip Of barren land
along the coast; and at the foot Of the ridge on
the other side, standing ankle deep at the edge
of another little pond, were two carl bou,
a bull and cow. We dropped back of the crest
Of the ridge and, following down a ravine fur

den from the sight of the game by small hum

hummock we were able to get view Of the

down among the stones and so like them in
color that they were very hard to locate without
the glasses-though only 800 yards distant, as

A FOOD STORY
Makes Woman of 70 "One in 10000"

The widow of one of Ohio's most
distinguished newspaper editors and
a famous leader in politics in his day,
says she is 70 years old and "stron-
ger woman than you will find in ten
thousand" and she credits her fine
physical condition to the use of Grape
Nuts:
MANY years ago / had a terrible
fall which permanently injured my
stomach. For years I lived on a
preparation of corn starch and milk,
but it grew SO repugnant to me that
had to give 1t up. Then I tried, one
after another, a dozen different kinds
of cereals, but the process of diges-
ton gays me great pain.
1T was not until I began to use
Grape-Nuts food three years ago that
found relief. 1t has proved, with the
dear Lords blessing, a great boon to
me. 1t brought me health and vigor
such as I never expected to again en-
joy, and in gratitude never fail to
sound its praises" Name given by

and the line slipped out over the DOW usnl-
ening with jerk as he snubbed 1t on cleat.
So we had one walrus, at any rate, naro anu
fast on the business end Of the line. Wneh
he came up to breathe-for he was Tar from
dead fired at him again and missed, ana ne
ducked under. The same thing happened sew
eral times and though did finally finish him
with bullet through his brain, had no idea
until then what lot of practice 1t takes TO
shoot accurately out of a boat when rocked
even by small waves, as was ours.
The sixth of August was calm and warm,
the sun shone brightly and the innumerable
pans of floating ice glistened under the slant
ing rays, as the Erik showed her nose into
the mouth of Whale sound.
"Just the day for walrus-no wind and
they'll be out on the ice sleeping in the sun"
said Mat Henson who had come aboard from
the Roosevelt to take charge Of the hunt and
Mat knew, for he had hunted walrus in Whale
sound many a time.
In half an hour several pans of walrus had
been sighted-it was then four in the morn
ing-and two boats were launched; Norton,
Henson, two Eskimo and myself in a rowboat;
Whitney, with crew, in the launch We
were soon busy. When an animal was killed
an oar was hoisted and the ship steamed up
to the spot and hauled the dead monster
aboard with the winch; the boat showing off
again to search for more game. Some Of the
tricks of the trade" were soon learned, for
instance: a walrus killed in the water would
sink nine times out of ten, and unless there
was a harpoon in him would be lost. The
same was generally true of one shot on an
ice pan, unless killed 1nstanly-he would
slide off into the water and sink.
Our party finally returned aboard exhaust
ed, to find that about 40 walrus had been
taken.
When 1 awoke next morning we were drop
ping anchor off a little Eskimo village named
Kangerderlookscah situated near the mouth
of Inglefield gulf. Commander Peary had
been with us aboard the Erik since leaving
North Star bay and said that he would remain
here long enough to give Us chance at the
caribou. That afternoon we pushed off in the
whaleboat, bound for the head of the gulf,
our five Eskimo companions as pleased and as
excited as children at the idea OF hunt. We
worked along shore, zgzagging between low

SUNSHINE AND GOOD HEALTH
Wherever Suns Rays Penetrate HUI
man Life Is Quickened and Health
and Happiness Promoted.

The sunlight, with its mellowtng
warmth and radiance, is one of the
great essentials to good health. Where
ever it penetrates, in prudently regu-
lated moderation, it quickens human
life, promotes health and happiness,
and may be truly regarded as one OF
the best friends of man and beast.
The common practice of providing
blinds, shutters, curtains and other
means for shrouding the windows and
shutting out the sunshine, is undoubt-
eddy great mistake, and makes for
physical weakness and i'll health. More
window light, more sunshine, and not
less, is what we require. Let all your
apartments, kitchen, sitting rooms.
parlors and bedrooms, too, be flooded
with sunlight as much as possible.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

'It is Just a year ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and. TO burn and
sting as if she had sand in them.
Then we used all OF the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
"Then we had read SO much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"
