Lucky Liahtnina Strokes.

To be struck by lightning is still a most lucky thing for the Greek peas ant-if he is not killed. Such a man," says J. c. Lawson, may indulge a taste for idleness for the rest of his life-his neighbors will support him and enjoy at the same time the repu- tation of being something more than human" This is an inheritance from ancient days. Artemidorus, an author ity on occult matters who hourished in the times of Marcus Aurelius, com- mented on the fact that while place struck by lightning had an altar erect ed upon 1t and was thenceforth both honored and avoided, mo one who has been struck by lightning is excluded from citizenship; indeed, such a one is honored even as a god" The cleo tion of Quintus Julius Eburnus to the consulship in 116 B. c. is attributed to his having been favored thus by the gods.-London Spectator.

Bows Frightful Death,

The 5000 people at the Woodstock fair Tuesday afternoon we're mortified at the tragic death of George Bernler, Jr., of Mechanicsville. whose leg became tangled in guy rope attached to 6 bal loon that went up from the inside of the race track and carried him about 300 feet high before he dropped. He came down in the field of automobiles and car riages about hundred feet from where he went up, and was killed instantly !. both legs and collar bone being broken.
 Professor Fowler of Boston, who had been engaged to give parachute jump, went up on his bar all right, but was unable to do anything for young Bernier as the guy rope was too far away from him. Professor Fowler, who made a successful exhibition by dropping in three different parachutes, said no blame could be attached to him as he gave warning to all to get away from the ropes.
 Young Bernier was standing iu some tangled rope watching the balloon start when the rope half hitched his leg and in an instant he was high in the air with his head hanging down.
 The boy was B years old and attended the school at Mechanicsville. His father is a milk peddler.
