Family Rescued From Falls.

A Thompson Falls, Mont, dis
patch to the Standpoint Review
says. About 6 o'clock last even
ing n call came from across the
river for the ferry boat and was
answered by Albert Preston. 1t
proved to be a four-horse team
and eEniGrant wagon owned by
w. A. Grim who was travelling
through the country from Grange
vile. Idaho, to Great Falls, Mont,
accompanied by his wife and two
small children. Driving onto
the ferry boat a rope broke and
the team started to back and Mr..
Grim becoming frightened, in
some way backed them into the
river with the exception of the
lead team which had been de-
tached and remained on the boat.
As the ferry was then some dis
tance from shore, horses, wagon
and family were carried by the
swift current towards the falls,
the entire outfit being nearly
submerged.
Albert Preston jumped Into the
row boat that is always attached
to the ferry, quickly caught up
with them. rescued the woman
and two children from under the
canopy top of the wagon. Mr..
Grim followed and all were safe
ly landed on shore. The team
and wagon continued d o W n
stream and by the time the fam
lily had reached shore had disap-
pearea over the falls.
1t was a miraculous escape for
the entire family and to Abe TT
Preston is the credit due for saw
ing their lives. The whole oc-
currence occupied but a few
seconds AMI not one man in a
hundred would have had the
presence of mind to take the
quick action that was necessary
TO save these lives. The current
at this stage of high water is
dangerously swift especially near
the falls. Preston took chances
en- las own life and his name will
be recommended for a Carnegie
medal.

Mrs. Forsmann Badly Hurt.

In what might easily have
proven a fatal accident Mrs. John
Fersnann was quite badly injur-
ed IN runaway accident Sunday
afternoon on the mountain west
eof town. In company with her
husband SIZE had been driving
over their timber land west of
the Monastery and started to
drive out to the main road while
Mr.. Forsmann walked a short
distance with Mr.. Condor to
look ut a spring which the latter
gentleman wished to use. In de-
scending a steep pitch the neck
yoke clip broke, letting the buggy
tongue down and causing the rig
to run onto the horses. The
frightened team started running
and after going a short distance
the buggy tongue run into a
brush heap and caused the buggy
to be thrown up and over, hurl-
ing Mrs. Forsmann out with
great force.
The men heard the runaway
and soon secured a wagon from
the Monastery and brought the
injured lady to the j. B. Fors,
mann home in this city. A ply
stefan was at once summoned and
after an examination found that
the lady had suffered disloca-
tion of the left knee, a fracture
of the bone Of the left leg near
the ankle and a cracked rib, be-
sides severe bruises. The in
jusies were cared for as we'll as
possible and the lady is now rest
ing as we'll as could be expected
under the circumstances but it
will be many weeks before she
will fully recover from her in
juries. That she escaped almost
instant death is but little short
of a miracle.

SECOND SIGHT.
An Apparition That Was Messenger

The third Lord Templetown used TO

brother. Henry Upton. the src' lid Wis

when he and several brother Officers;

died. but not OH the day he had been
seen abroad.
Later the landlady was asked Oh

demur she confessed that her lodger
did not die when she first stated. but
on the day when his friends had seen
him pass through the mess room.
1t seems the date of demise had
been falsiipd on account of his pen

POSTED ON RUBBER.
He Couldn't Be Fooled About the
Growth of the Trees.

A promoter for a rubber company
was trying to persuade Mr.. Spangler
to invest some of his savings il the
company's stock. The deu.dLu for
rubber. he said. was WORLDWIDE and
constantly increasing. The company
owned immense forests of rubber
trees and kept an army Of workers
employed all the time in gathering the
crude rubber. The output was enor-
nous, and the proflts-well the scheme
was certainly better than a gold mine.
81 have heard" said Mr. Spangler
suspiciously, that the forests are be-
ing exhausted"
That's true to some extent" an
swered the other. but we are not de-
pending on the existing trees. We are
planting hundreds of square miles
with new trees"
How long does 1t take for a tree to
grow big enough to tapT

Mr.. Spangler. with emphasis. My
wife has had a rubber plant in the

Absinth.

DR.. r. Hercod of Lausanne in a spe-
c1al contribution to the Alliance Tenn
perance Almanac points out that the
absinth liquor, which Is now prohib-
tied in three European countries-Bel-
GUM. Holland and Switzerland-owes
its peculiar nervousness to the fact
that 1t is prepared with several es-
sences. among them NORWOOD, which
have marked toxic properties. Added
to the action of the alcohol IA strong
absinth contains 65 per cent? these
essences have a most deleterious eff
feet on the organisms. especially on
the nervous system. Even small doses
provoke great irritability. which
may easily lead heavy drinkers to
crime. Epilepsy Is more quickly de-
veloped among absinth drinkers than
among the drinkers of the commouer
kinds of alcoholic liquors. - Dundee

When Margaret had told him be-
tween tears and smiles that Vain had
been refused and had gone away Frank
asked:
"But, Madge, what did you mean by
the puzzling message you sent me?
Who was this Jupiter? And why did
you choose such a name to sign? |

as when | read that telegram in the
Office"
For answer she handed him the little
book he had sent her when he had left
several weeks before. She pointed to
paragraph and he read:
But Jupiter, distilling himself into
a shower of gold, entered the apart
ment of Danae and won her" Mar
garet looked up at him when he had
read it and was regarding her ques-
tioningly.
MY case was not exactly like that
of Danae, for she had no other suitor
and Jupiter had it all his way. But
when l read, Distilled himself into a
shower of gold and won her. | knew
that Vain was winning me as Jupiter
had won his earthly love. My eyes
we're opened and as there was no ora
Gle to be fulfilled as in his case l sent
for you"
THE prosaic law must have driven
all that pretty mythology from my
mind" replied Frank, for | could not
think who Danae could be. Had re.
membered the myth l would have un-
derstood at once"
"The little book told me my duty
just in time" answered Margaret.
"And Jupiter the second was forced
to take his golden shower away in
defeat"
"Madge, old Jupiter did not want
any mortal to counterfeit his perform
ance, 80 when he saw how near Vain
was to doing 1t he took hand and
Strengthened the matter to suit his
celestial will"
And in so doing he succeeded in
making everything come out to suit
us, didn't he, Frank?" asked the girl
softly.
The young lawyer agreed that he

NEEDLESSLY BLIND

(By the Ohio Commission for the Blind.)
Ignorance allows much needless
blindness of babies. Carelessness in
the use Of sharp instruments is the
cause Of many accidents to children's
eyes. Our insane Fourth of July eel
ebrations annually put out the vision
Of many youth. Defective tools and
machinery cause loss Of sight to
adult operatives. Diseases Of various
sorts attack specifically the organ of
vision or cause general low vitality,
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1911-01-20

and defective vision or blindness en-
sues.
Who will help to stop this needless
waste? 1t is not enough that physl-
clans are informed and have been
aroused to greater watchfulness.
Nor that labor organizations have
secured some attention to safety
Of workingmen. In the end the
general public must be relied upon
to render effective the fight against
ophthalmia neonatorum (babies' sore
eyes), against trachoma and other
diseases either communicable or the
result Of low vitality, against pre-
ventable accidents Of all sorts. Tho
appeal is to every citizen to join
