An extraordinary scene occurred in
the cemetery at Zurawica. Galicia,
during the funeral recently OF local
land owner. The priest had given his
last benediction to the departed and
the coffin had been lowered into the
grave, and the family and friends
were throwing clods on 1t. when sud-
denly hollow cries for help broke from
the grave. Most of the mourners ran
away panic-stricken, while the priest
and sections got out the coffin and
opened the lid. To their amazement.
they found the supposed dead man
alive. He soon recovered and was
able to walk home unaided. He is now
perfectly well.

in the world. The natives call the

Taft and he has talked over the affair
with his cabinet but arrived at no

TO Yale university would be much the
same as was Former President Cleve-
lands relation to Princeton. Mr.. Taft
Is considering this offer on one side,
and his original plan to practice law
on the other. Some OF his friends
here incline to the belief that he will
accept the Yale place. though they do
not expect he will make ~ his mind
before next month.

successful Democratic candidate for
