ALE DoRTCH.

Seminary, has a letter from her
mother, Mrs. V. A. Dortch, which
gives an account Of the thrilling
experience of her son, ALI, who lost
an eye and had his skull fractured
a few weeks ago. Mrs. Dortch' s
letter is as follows:
IL will tell you something about
the way your brother, Alf, got hurt
he was running raft of logs on
Tennessee River on the way to Pa
ducah. | think, but am not sure,
it was the 22d of January. They
tried to land the raft about 6p. m. I,
which was dark. ALE was lineman.
de got in a boat and run ashore,
and fastened the line to tree about
l5 or Is inches through.
she had his lantern in his hand,
and saw his boat start to move off
into the river. He ran down and
pulled the boat back on the bank
SO it would stay, and turned to go
back up the bank of the river and
it seemed to him there was crash
of thunder and flashes of fire before
him, and that same terrible thing
was jerking his head. When he
came to himself, he said his arms
were benumed so he could not use
them for awhile, but found he was
lodged against smalrbush and bis
feet and hands were in the river.
So the bush saved him from drown
ing while in an unconscious state,
"Of course the raft was moving
down the river at rapid rate and
no boat on the raft 10 20 ashore Gas
ALT had the boat and while lying
there he felt something bump him
and found it TO be his boat, so he
rolled into it aud went on after the
raft, and he pulled the skiff II
miles before overtaking the raft
and other men. They pulled him
on the raft, and he tainted. They
thought he was dead, but he soon
revived, and as they could not land
the raft, they took him ashore in
the boat and left him alone at
littlevillage by the name of Aurora.
Gle told me he said something
he had never said before, and some
one came TO him, but he had tainted
again, and was lying in the mud
and his own blood, for he was bleed
ing at the nose and eyes and ears
and mouth. But those true and
loving Free M asoDs picked him up
and carried him in; they had a ply
stefan in few minutes, who stayed
with him all night and all next day
until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The physician then sent him on to
Dr. Mason at Murray, KY, as he
had to be operated upon. That was
twelve mile drive, but lie said it
was like a dream to him.
"He said in three days he began
to have his right mind, but did not
know his condition, and thought he
might never see his dear old home
again. The Masons and Odd Eel
lows did him many favors that l
never will forget. l pray Gods
blessings on those fraternal orders
that have been such friend indeed
in time of need.
"A man went to the place where
he got hurt, and said the body of
the tree he tied to WAS hollow, and
the weight of the raft cut the body
off, and the line must have hit him.
He is at home now, and is getting
along we'll.
II never have been SO glad to
see any Of you children come home
as 1 was ALT. He had the very
best of care at the hospital, and
found DR.. Mason very kind and
sympathetic"

may be used with good advantage in
seasoning foods, since they are not

Can Father Collect Daughters

Dear Miss Doom:
! want to ask you a question. If a
young lady works for a certain party,
and this young lady gives this certain
party say $50 to save for the young
lady who is doing the work, and this
Young lady leaves the employment of
this certain party and then writes and
tells him to forward the Mount to
her, and If her employer gets the let
ter and address n then gives the
money to this young lady's father, can
this young lady still claim the S2OE
The money was worked for and earned
by the young lady. Her employer gave
it to her father and her father spent
it and never gave il to the young lady.
Can this young lady sue her employer
for the same amount, as the young
lady earned the money and not her
father? A CONSTANT READER.
If the young lady's father had been
in the habit of collecting money due
to her from her employer, ara afraid
that she established a precedent
which relieves the employer from
any further liability to her; that is,
II she acquiesced in such payments to
her father. If, however, her father
collected this money without direct
authority from her the employer is
liable for the full amount and h can
sue for it provided she is of legal age
