LITTLE GIRL HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Alma, the little daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Hammocker, had a
narrow escape from death Sunday af-
ternOon, when she was struck just
above the forehead by a bullet from a
2o calibre revolver, which was dis.
charged by a boy named F%inDegan.
Alma was playing with a number
OF children on the Mills southwest OF
Hown when the accident occurred.
U~Finnegan had somehow secured the
weapon which belonged to an older
brother, and was proudly iourishing
IL when il went off and the bullet
struck the girl. Embedding itself in
the flesh of her head The wound bled
freely causing much conformation
among the residents of the locality
who thought the injury was much
more serious than IL was. However,
if it had struck an inch lower, the
little girl would most likly have been
killed. DR.. Stevens was called and
removed the bullet and the child is
now about recovered from the Injury.

HURLS BABE FROM WINDOW
Girl EmpIoye, Mother While at Work,
Throws Child Four Floors
to Death.

Philadelphia.-Afte giving birth to
a girl baby while at work in a factory
at 30 South Second street, Lizzie Pre-
ole, nineteen years old, wrapped the
infant in her apron and hurled it from
the fourth story window to an alley in
the rear.
Several men employed in a testau-
rant adjoining the factory saw the girl
throw the bundle out of the window,
and on investigating found that it con-
tanned the child, which was still alive.
The infant was taken into a restaurant
and later to the Pennsylvania hospital.
where it died.
The girl had been employed in the
box factory for number of years.
and appeared to be in good health
when she reported for work. The girl
was taken to the hospital, where she
is in a serious condition

Long List of Those Men Who Have
Achieved Fame Before the Age
Of Thirty.

In his dignif1ed tribute TO Perry, for
mer President Taft called attention 10
the fact that he hero OF Lake Erie
was only twenty-eight when he won
that glorious victory An interesting
roll might be called OF the men who
achieved deathless fame while yet in
their twenties. says the st. Louis Re
public, editorially. First Of all, we sup
pose, would be Alexander, who had
vanQuished the world, and for whom
Fate flashed the doleful sign nothing
doing" ere yet he was hardly thirty.
The hang of his toga was still a mat
ter of vast concern to the foppish
Caesar when he was pushing his tri-
remes across the channel to the chalk
cliffs of Brittany. At twenty-eight
the youth Of Napoleon was far be-
hind and kings had learned to come
down and personally open the door
when he knocked. Burns was singing
his last songs at twenty-eight and By
ron awoke to acclaim while still
younger. The dead boy in a garnet,
eighteen or Whereabouts, was Chat
terton. Emmett named the terms on
which his epitaph might be written
in the brave days when he was TWEEN
ty-one."
Slamming the door on history and
sauntering out into the golden light Of
the living day, it is pleasure to re-
fleet that at twenty-eight John D. Rock
efeller was about as poor and honest as
the rest of us, and athwart the smoke
wreathed skyline of Pittsburgh no
prophet could discern the roof of a
Carnegie library. But those are mega
tive views. By way of citing the posi-
tive, we observe that Tyrus Cobb had
put flashing spike on the home plate
of Immortality while still under TWEEN
ty-eight.
But Of arms and the men, and let
tiers and pelf and politics, enough! AS
a matter of fact and justice be it de-
clared that the name of women who
attain their greatest beauty without
ever admitting twenty-eight is legion
and will continue to be.

SPOILED EFFECT OF STORY
Listeners Unkind Remark After Sailor
Had Told of Terrors Of
the Waterspout.

Coroner James J. Phelan of Bridge
port, whose investigation of the SIAM
ford wreck has given him a nation
wide reputation for courage and as
tuteness, said to a reporter, apropos Of
a legal tangle:
These lawyers tried hard TO con-
fuse the issue, and, if they had sue
ceeded, they'd have put all hands in
the ludicrous position of Swallop Nc
Bride.
"Swallop Mcbride, you know, sat lis
tening quizzically, at the lodge, to a
sailor who had just returned to Gin
naminson from a world tour
land did you see any waterspouts? 2
the voyager was asked.
'Waterspouts? Sure!'
And he described a waterspout with
all its horrors that had nearly done for
his ship and him in the Indian ocean.
''At this opint Swallop interposed.
"'Holy SMOKE he said, you make
me tired. All this talk about water
spout! Why, what the dickens is
there in a waterspout to be afraid OFF,
"'You'd know soon enough said the
sailor loftily, if you ran acrost one
Ran acrost one?' said Swallop.
Why, there's three in our back yard
one at each corner of the wall, and
they don't brighten me no more than a
baby"

Sinister French Wit Leaves Freak
viii, Calling for Celebration
Around Coffin.

Paris.--GedeOn SilyesJre was recent
y found hanging at Chateauneufdu-
Rhone from an acacia tree, which he
himself had planted a few years ago.
Silvestre was a renowned practical
joker so that when he told a friend at
the time of the planting OF the tree
that his intention was to hang himself
upon it when he grew tired Of life. lit
tie attention was paid to the words
Those who discovered the body Of
the man were amazed to find that the
suicide had inscribed upon the trunk
of the tree: Il trained you to grow
tall and straight in your youthful days
SO that you might support me in my
later days"
Silvestre's will was worthy of the
sinister type of wit which character
lied him. 1t left 1925 to be equally d.
vided among the carpenter who would
make his coffin, the gravedigger, and
the members OF bowling club. The
condition attached to the last legacy
was that the bowlers should play a
championship game over the testator's
grave.
Another sum was left to a number
of friends in order that they might
hold, revel and enjoy a feast around
the coffin. Silvestre expressly stipu-
lated that at the conclusion of this
celebration" a farewell song should
be sung by the company
All these bizarre wishes were full
filled
