Veteran Could Not Hear His
Beloved Bugle.
Tells How Deafness Was
Overcome.

Below is a picture of Henry Farrar.
a Civil war veteran who is a natural
born musician, and whose bugIe has

the approach of old age and the IN
Fiction of various disorders, he grad

til he could not hear his own bugIe
which he has been accustomed to play
on various occasions throughout the
year. He also became harassed with
those head noises which so often ac-

This infirmity distressed Mr.. Farrar
greatly. He is man of activity despite
his age-in fact, he looks much young

To Overcome Sunburn,
Tan, Freckles, Wrinkles
(From Outdoor Life.)

If you are freckled, tanned or sun
burnt, dab a liberal amount of merco-
lized wax on the face and allow it to
remain over night When you wash
off the wax in the morning, fine,
flakey, almost invisible particles of
cuticIe come with it. Repeating this
daily, the entire outer skin is alb
sorbed, but SO gradually there's not
the slightest hurt or Inconvenience.
Even the stubbornest freckles yield to
this treatment. The underlying skin
which forms the new complexion is so
fresh and youthful looking you'll mar
vel at the transformation. It's the
only thing / know to actually discard
an aged, faded. muddy or blotchy
complexion. 1t is also good for arms,
hands and neck. One ounce of mer-
coIized wax, procurable at any drug
store, is sufficient in most cases
If sun and wind make you squint
and frown, you're bound to cultivate
wrinkles and crows feet. To over
come these, battle the face in a solu-
ton made by dissolving an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch

NARROW ESCAPE OF
BETHANY men
While They Were Blasting With
Dynamite
AMOS WARD AND GRANT COL
LINS BADLY BRUISED AND
BURNED BY GETTING TOO
NEAR EXPUOSINE-T THOUGHT
FUSE HAD GONE OUT.

s. Amos Ward and Grant Collins
miraculousy escaped death last
Thursday afternoon while engaged
in using dynamite for blasting pur-
poses The accident occurred on the
farm of John Strongman, Bethany,
and both men were severely burned,
cut and bruised as the result of be-
ing too near a stick Of dynamite
when it exploded. The two men
were blasting frozen earth from a
side nil and removing it to another
section on the place. A hole had
been made in the rock-like earth by
means OF a crowbar and a stick of
dynamite was placed therein. The
fuse was lighted and then the men
went the usual distance to await the
discharge. They waited, and wait
ed, and waited and finally, presum-
ing that the fuse had gone out, went
back, walking side by side with Ward
little in the lead, he being in
charge of the blasting.
No sooner than they had reached
the dangerous ground than bang!
went the high explosive. Collins was
thrown to the ground by the force of
the explosion, while Ward was able
to hold his equilibrium. They both
received the full benefit of the ex-
plosion. Collins injuries were great
er than Wards, although he was not
as close to the point of danger as the
latter. When Mr.. Collins was
thrown upon his back he was rem
dered unconscious and remained so
for half hour. His back was badly
sprained. He also received an ugly
SCALP wound, besides having his face
and head cut and bruised with flying
particles of frozen dirt. He was re-
moved to the home of J. J. Hauser,
who lives nearby, and DR.. p B.
Peterson was called. After a thor
ough examination was made no frac-
tured bones were found, neither is he
suffering from internal injuries. Mr.
Collins mind was a blank from the
time of the accident until Friday
morning, when he conversed with
his parents and DR.. Petersen. He
did not remember their coming to
see him or talking with him, al
though he answered their questions
intelligently. He could not recall
anything about the blast until the
next day, when he told how the ac-
cident happened.
Mr.. Ward was closer the scene of
the explosion than was his partner,
but in some manner met with less
serious injury. His face is badly
burned as if by powder, besides be-
ing cut and bruised. His moustache
was burned close to his lip. Mr.
Wards eyes were affected, he being
unable to omen them for two days af-
ter the explosion. DR.. Petersen, his
physician, is doing his utmost to save
the sight. Mr.. Ward went to his
home Thursday night. His condition
is not as serious as Mr.. Collins, the
only inconvenience being the loss OF
eight for an indefinite time. Mr..
Collins is still at the home OF Mr.
Hauser, where he is slowly improv-
ing. His injuries are exceedingly
painful.

H0NESDALE MAN
FOUND DEAD
James Murray is the Victim
Of ApOpIexy
DISCOVERED LYING ALONG THE
ID. & II. RAILROAD A SHORT
DISTANCE FROM HOME SAT-
URDAi MORNING-WAS WELL
KNOWN HERE.

James Murray, a well-known resi-
dent of Honesdale, was found lying
cold in death Saturday morning,
about 6 o'clock, near the Erie pock-
cts, by James Buckley, who was on
his way to work. 1t was an exceed
ingly cold night, the mercury regis
tering several degrees below zero.
Coroner p. B. Petersen was called
and permission was asked of him to
remove the body to the home of his
sister, Mrs. James Mullen. near the
Catholic cemetery. After viewing
the remains Coroner Petersen stated
that from appearances Mr.. Murray
had died as the result Of a stroke Of
apopleXy. His head was lying in a
pool of blood, having suffered a
hemorrhage of the nose and ears.
As Mr.. Murray did not return home
Friday night, Mrs. Mullen became
alarmed. Fearing that something
had befallen him she stayed up all
night waiting for his return The
first intimation she had of his where
abouts was when the report of his
sad death was revealed to her short
ly after his body was found alongside
the Delaware and Hudson tracks Sat
urday morning.
Mr.. Murray was born in Dyberry
township about As years ago, where
he lived with his parents until he be-
came a young man. For many years
the deceased was a faithful employee
of the Delaware and Hudson Gravity
railroad. He held a position as
Singer" at the foot of 121a plane.
1t was at this place that he unfor-
tunately lost the use of one of his
hands by having it caught in the
links of the cable. After the aban-
donment of the D. & H. canal Mr..
Murray was fireman for the Homes
dale Consolidated Electric Light,
Heat and Power company. He was
good-hearted man and had many
friends. Mr.. Murray never married
and lived with his sister, Mrs. Will
liam Mullen on Erie street Mrs.
Chris. Lowe, another sister, OF this
place, also survives. The funeral
was held Tuesday morning from ST.
Johns Catholic church.
From the blood-stained snow and
tracks in the vicinity OF where the
body was found, it is evident that
Mr.. Murray became dazed after he
was stricken. He had gone part
way up the side hill and then re-
turned, falling near the railroad
tracks, where he died. He had COM
planned OF not feeling well during the
past few days.
