NATURE MARKS MANS GRAVE
sprout From Wooden Coffin, Buried
Many Years Ago, Grows Into Large
Poplar Tree.

1T is seldom perhaps that nature
erects monument to a persons mem
ory, yet in a small country cemetery
a few miles east of Nashville, Brown
county, Indiana, may be found an OBJ
ject bearing that distinction.
More than 75 years ago man
named Allcorn became a resident Of
Brown county, and for several years
lived near Salt Creek, In the eastern
part of the county.
While residing here Allcorn met
with an accident which resulted in
his death, and he was buried in the
cemetery near his home.
The coffin was hewed out of part
of a poplar tree and made into two
sections. A few years later small
sprout began to shoot from the crude
coffin, and not long afterward small
poplar tree began to spread its
branches over the grave.
Within few years it had grown
to large proportions, and during the
long period since 1t first appeared
above the ground the tiny poplar
sprout had grown into a tree that
measured several feet in circumfer
ence and towers above all others II
the vicinity.
Its branches spread far out in al
directions, and many perhaps who
pass nearby are attracted by the tow
ering poplar. though they may be I'm
familiar with its history.

AGED MANS DARING ACT
Veteran Saves Girls Life on Fifth
Avenue, New York, but Has
Thigh Broken.

Heroism is as natural to some men
as cowardice Is to others. 1t is con.
fined to no nationality and is affected
by neither years, education nor social
degree. The hero never hesitates. He
sees his opportunity, obeys the i'm
pulse Of what he believes to be his
duty and cheerfully accepts the con-
sequences. Such a man Is James
Graves, of 80 Hull street, Brooklyn,
who has an enviable war record and
who is more than seventy years OF
age.
Recently Mr.. Graves was driving a
horse along Fifth avenue, New York.
At the intersection of Twenty-eighth
street he saw girl standing, para.
lyzed by fear, in the pathway Of a
horse running madly down Twenty.
eighth street toward the avenue. Her
death seemed certain and women and
men on the sidewalks paled with hor-
tor. But Graves Is the sort Of hero
who Is always most self-possessed in
the face Of death. He grasped the
situation instantly and whipped his
own horse squarely between the run
away and the girl. The impact was
terrific. Both horses went to the pave
ment and the brave old soldier was
thrown halfway across the avenue
He was unconscious when picked uI
and the doctors found his thigh wai
broken.
But the girl was unhurt.

LACE INDUSTRY IN VENICE
Process ls so Simple It Looks Like
chlld's Play, But Brings Thousands
of Dollars Annually.

The lace Of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. 1t was
made originally by nuns within the
walls Of converts for ecclesiastical gar
ments. Then, with the fall Of the
Venetian republic, the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870
the Princess Margherita, afterward
queen of Italy, took measures to re-
vive 1t, especially as a means OF pro-
viding employment for Venetian won.
en-. At present there are several
schools, subsidized by the govern
ment, in which the art is taught.
The pupils are women Of all ages.
Each sits on low stool and holds a
plump, square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned strip Of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow.
ed, and into this pattern the nimble-
fingered worker sticks glass-headed
pins about which she twists her
threads.
From twenty to fifty shuttles de.
pend from all sides of the cushion
and these are thrown across and back
with the rapidity Of typist handling
the keys Of her machine.
The process is SO simple that II
looks like play, but the lace produced
represents thousands Of dollars. The
simple laces grow rapidly under the
dexterous fingers Of the women, but
the exquisite rose point and Other
similar sorts are evolved much more
slowly.-Harper's Weekly.
