has been found that every new discovery

manner slightly different from similar

The data so far gathered is based upon
figures available during the first ten
years Of the present twentieth century
From time to time the news reports
make mention Of what seems "a novel
way" to die, but the medical stausucians
saw that this novelty exists only inferen-

rarely used, and that If means were avail
able to tabulate every death IN the world
for hundred years, together with its
causes. there would be not one instance OF
a novel way to die. There may be cases
where the cause is unusual, but this more
than likely because of a linking OF Vari

PITIFUL TRAGEDY LAID
BARE WHEN GIRL, HUNGRY
AND COLD, STEALS SWEATER
Betrayed BY Lover. Spurned by
Parents, Elise Staehnke's Cup
of Woe Overfiows.
HOME NEAR LOS ANGELES.
Charge Withdrawn When Story
Is Told, and Girl Is Cared
For By Police Matron.

Out Of the west last June there
came Elise Stachuke. q pretty, gold
en-haired maiden with dancing blue
eyes. full OF song and laughter and
the love of life.
Into police headquarters. Friday
morning, they brought her. broken
in spirit, tragedy and privation writ
ten In every feature OF her comely
face. A woman from the Y. w. Q.
A. accompanied her and into her arms
she threw herself, pitiful, budding,
shivering refugee.
Then she sobbed her story into sym
pathetic ears, miserable story OF a
faithless lover. who betrayed her;
angry parents who repudiated her; OF
days of hunger and sleepless nights
of waiting and wandering; OF tears
and heartaches and vain regrets.
For two weeks she has haunted
the Union depot, watching night and
day with hungry eyes every departing
train, hoping against forlorn hope
that fate would work some wonder
by which she could board one of the
trains and go back to her people
In Annatown, Cal.
Friday morning she saw sweater
vest lying on bench In the depot.
II was beautiful garment, all white
and soft and warm. And she was SO
cold. She took 1t and put II around
her shoulders A railroad detective
saw her and he called a policeman.
The Y. w. c. A. woman was there.
too. The entire party came to Cen
trail police station, where Elise broke
down and told her story.
Slowly she removed the stolen gar
ment and with pathetic little ges-
ture, she handed 1t to the railroad
detective. He looked at her a min
ute. He saw her waist was thin and
torn and that there was nothing else
to protect her from the cold. He
tossed the garment back to her.
Keep II, little GIRL" he said, and
he walked out of the station
Don't be too hard on me-" she
sobbed. II was so cold. l haven't
eaten for two whole days. God knows
when l have slept had to have
something to keep me warm. I'm at
the end Of the rope. don't know
where to turn.

We're at AntietaHl.

On Monday of last week, Mr..
and Mrs. j. l.. Garland and two
children, Helen and James, went
down to Maryland to visit Moses
Hill and family. Mr.. Hill lives
near the Potomac a short distance
from the town of Sharpsburg,
where the great battle of Antie-
tam was fought on the 18th of
September, 1862. Tues day
morning, Mr.. Hill and wife ac
companled their guests over the
battlefield. They saw the old
Dunkard Church that stood in
the thickest of the fight, and that
was used as a hospital for the
wounded soldiers. Back of the
church stand two old rusty can
non, said to be the last guns from
which shots were fired during
that memorable engagement.
The Government has constructed
macadam roads so that one may
travel all over the battlefield,
which covers several square
miles of territory. Beautiful
monuments standing here and
there show where the important
events in the days struggle took
place.
A tower SO feet IN height,
stands IN Bloody Lane, from the
top of which, a splendid view may
be had of the entire field.
The Memorial Day exercises
began at 1890. Uncle Joe Can.
non, of Illinois, and Hon. Thomas
III. Carter, of Montana, were to
have been the speakers. They
were not there, and Geo. A.
Davis and Chas. D. Wagaman,
prominent members of the Hag-
erstown Bar, and Senator Thurs
ton, of Nebraska, were the ora.
tors.
When is Is considered that |
Antietam is but Al miles distant |
from McConnellsburg, an easy
days drive on splendid roads
there is no reason why most |
Fulton County people should not
visit the great battlefield. It's
wonderful!
