In Thomas Ellison, better
known as Uncle Tom," in Wal
nut, Ark, where he lives, it is
believed the real champion of the
Regeneration principles Of TheO-
dore Roosevelt has been found.
Uncle Tom" is 90 years old.
The birth last week of a son to
one of his granddaughters has
caused a recasting of Ellison
record. Here it is: Married
three times; father of so children:
grandfather of 125 children;

Bickel bros. have taken charge
of Cabot's old well on the Math-
ew's farm, near the school house
on Leafbank, and will clean it
out and market the oil. This
well was connected up to the
tank one day last week and
made a nice flow. 1t will be re-
membered that this well was
drilled by Mr., Cabot several
years ago, for gas but oil was
struck and a local company at
tempted to handle the -~ell, but
met with poor encouragement
and gave it up. Since then the
well has been shut in, but since
the Bickels have taken charge OF
it. we may look for some nice
production. 1t has been the o.
pinion of many people for sew
eral years that Leafbank terri
tory is good for an oil field, anc
we are greatly in hopes thai
they are correct.

Ernest VanhOrn Drowned.

Ernest Vanhorn, the 19-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Vanhorn, of Stumptown, came to
his death, reported to be by
drowning, in a hole of water
near Bub Fetty's, in Steer creek,
on the night of May Bird. The
report was that he and a number
of other young men were fishing
when in some manner he got in
beyond his depth and was drown
ed before help could reach him.
The manner of his death is
mysterious, as the width of the
creek at that place is not more
than twenty feet, and it. looks
very probable that some of his
companions could have rescued
him.
A rumor is current that young
Vanhorn and his companions
were dynamiting for fish; that
one charge had been placed in
the water and after several min.
uteS had elapsed and the fisher;
had decided that the charge was
not going off, another one was
placed in the hole. Subsequently
one charge exploded and Vanhorr
and two Of his companions went
into the water to gather up the
fish when the second explosion
occurred, killing Vanhorn and
injuring the other two. This
version of the sad affair is gener-
ally accepted as true hereabouts.

You are common and humbly born:

And after my death | am Wine:

The Line Between Life and Death

y DISPATCH from Paris. print
n ed not long ago, told OF the
wonderful feat of a profess
sional swimmer who remained I'M
der water no less than five min
utcs and tWenty-siN seconds, in
the meanwhile swimming thirty
yards, though totally immersed all
the time. and unable to take any
fresh air into his lungs. If he had
remained under water a few sec
onds longer, no doubt he would have
been drowned. a drowned man. as
far as We can see, and as far as
he is personally concerned, is a
dead man; and yet there is little
question that if this swimmer had
thus persisted, he could by modern
methods have been revived, and
would thus apparently have been
brought back from death to life.
Many drowned persons have thus
been restored after all conscious
ness had departed from them.

Toad Famous for
It's Tenacity of Life.

The toad is an animal famous
for its tenacity OF life, ana many
stories have been printed Of its
alleged ability to pass hundreds Of
years inclosed in tree trunks, and
even i'm rocks, without food or air
Naturahsts and biologists are dis
posed to question these accounts
suggesting that some overlooked
means of obtaining at least air
must have existed. But it seems
probable that the toad exceeds all
other we'll known animals in its
power of dispensing with the ordi-
nary means of sustaining life
II is evident that the mystery of
life is sim very far from being
cleared up, and many more elab-
crate Investigations viii have TO be-
made before we really know much

any time. provided that the general

grade This was managed by vary
ing the temperature of the air in
which they were kept Bats thus
refrigerated were kept in a state of
apparent death for weeks together
and then completely restored to ac-
tivity.
1t is we'll known that lower forms
of life. like bacteria, may be sub
jected to temperatures approaching
that of liquid air and then, after a
long interval, be brought back to
active life, Some speculative minds
have suggested that life may origi-
nally have been brought to the
earth by spores and germs driven
off from some other planet-per-
haps even from planets circling
round some distant staT-and, after
remaining in a state of suspended
animation" for thousands of years,
amid the awful cold of open space,
have been restored to activity upon
encountering our planet. The cele-
brated Arrhenius has maintained
that in this way "a mighty stream
of life is kept circling in space from
world to world"
Seeds that have been kept frozen
for months in liquid air have been
thaWed out and planted, whereupon
they terminated and grew into
plants as if nothing extraordinary
had happened to them.
Let us return for a moment to
the phenomena of sleep. Hiberuat-
ing animals, which pass the winter
under ground, apparently lack per
sonal consciousness for months at
time. With some of them their
sleep has been artificially pro-
longed for two years. without at

Spending a Million Dollars
By WINIFRED BLACK.

II WISH | had, / wish l had. What
do you wish you had? What
would you do if some one gave
you-Well, say $5OO-on condition
that you spent it for something
you didn't really understanding
you just want so badly you can
hardly stand it?
| know what I'd do. I'd say,
thank you kindly, and I'd buy first
of all, a string. good long string
of amber beads, clear, yellow am
ber that looks like still water with
the sun shining on it, And I'd buy
me a little heart of clear brown
topaz and tiny silver chain to
hang it on, and whenever l became
tired, or my head ached, or any
thing was the matter, I'd get out
my amber and my topaz and |
would look at them and look at
them and look at them till peace
came back and smiled upon me.
The Amber of Cool Pools.
The amber would make me think
of cool pools in the deep forest,
where the ferns and the ue-eyed
flowers grow and where the sound
is always of falling water.
And l would look and look and
look at the topaz heart. and it
would remind me of true eyes |
know-clear, honest. faithful eyes
that belong to people who dove
me. and would be quite, quite
happy.
And then? And then I would
buy me yards and yards and yards
of pure pink silk, soft. silky silk,
like the inside of poppy petal, and
it would be the pure rose of the
first pink buds that open on the
little old bush in a certain old fash
toned yard / knew onCe-a yard
where there were roses. and hello
trope. and vioIets with long stems,
and a hardy hydrangea in the cor
ner.
And | would take that silk in my
hand and crumple it and rumple it
and smooth it, and look at 1t, and
look at it, and let the sun shine
through it and make a glory of it,
and l would lay it to my cheek and
dream and dream of rose petals
floating in the still air of a Cali
fornia June, of pink fox gloves, tall
and straight in the Colorado hills;
of tiny, tiny anemones standing
knee deep in the moss of the Hi
nois woods.
Oh. l would love that silk, and
the look of it and the feel of it and
the sheen of it, and the knowing
that | didn't have to use it for
thing-not a thing, unless some day
it was to make a dress, such a soft,
silky dress, for a little blue eyed
girl | know, with knots of black
velvet ribbon on it, and some real
lace, just a trife of real lace foam
ing at the slender throat of the lit
tie girl.
And then I would buy q ring. a
great big heavy ring, old, old. old.
with queer letters or figures carved
on it. 1t would be blue I think
the stone in the ring-and it might
be silver, or it might be gold but 1t
must have belonged to some one
who lived long ago and was much
beloved.
And then I would buy me a pic
ture-a picture of still places in
deep woods, places where no one
ever talked of money or told you

And then [ would buy me some
balloons-little blue and silver ones
with pictures on them, and bright
red ones, and one big white one like
a soap bubble-and | would tie
them with long, strong silken
strings, and have nothing to do but
watch them and think how 9lle if
is going to be when we can float
and float like that without having
to get a machine or street car to
tug us around.
And then if / had any money left
I'd buy a ticket to Honolulu and I'd

shells and maybe an old picture

things, ugly some think them, but

you?
And in the shops do you think
we could find somewhere on back
table some of the ld-fashiOned viz
tues that went with the hour glass
and the pine cone frames?

faith that comforted our mothers
