CHILD'S FACE IN WINDOW
SAVED WHOLE FAMILY

Henderson, Ky. April Erred
Zahm, a boatman, in crossing food
ed area above Henderson. KY, saw
a child's face peeping out of the
small attick window of a house
with only the roof above the water.
Investigation showed Henry
Schnelle, wife and five children in
the attic. The father and mother
had been without food for three
days, and the last meal the child
rem had was Friday morning.
The attic window was too small
for the escape of the parents, and
to enable them to get out Zahm and
two companions had to chop hole
in the roof. They were brought to
Evansville and provided for.

OXFORD A SLIGHT FAvoRITE.

LONDON, March 12.-The annual
boat race between the crews of Ok
ford and Cambridge universities will
take place tomorrow and interest in
the great aquatic event is as keen as
ever The contest, as in previous
years, will be rowed over the Thames
course from Mortlake to Putney.
Both crews took their final practice
spins this morning and the unanimous
opinion of the critics was that both
crews are superior to those of last
year. The odds are slightly in favor
of Oxford, though everyone agrees il
is likely to be close contest. II
the water is rough tomorrow the toss
of coin for choice of stations may
decide the race.
The race will be the SEVENTEEN in
the series of annual contests between
the Oxford and Cambridge eights. OF
the total Oxford has won 38 and Cam
bridge 80. In 1877 the contest re-
suited in dead heat. The best record
for the distance (about four and one
quarter miles) is 1S minutes 29 sec
onds, which was made by the Oxford
crew two years ago.

THE TOBACCO HABIT.

More than 80 per cent OF all the
boys who fail in the grammar and
high schools are smokers, according
to Prof. M. v. O'Shea of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
Most boys do not learn to smoke
because they like tobacco, but be-
cause their schoolfellows smoke.
Unruly boys are almost always ad-
dicted to the cigarette habit. Smoking
robs pupils of their docility, Records
kept of the work of students who
were not addicted to the smoking habit
when the entered the high school, but
who acquired it later, show that not
only did these pupils become harder to
manage, but the quality of their school
work declined greatly.
What hold the smoking evil has
gained on the public school boys is
indicated by the statements made by a
number of high school principals, who
declare that from fifty to eighty per
cent of the high school pupils are
now using cigarettes.
1t is an interesting fact that the
stronger sentiment against smoking
has arisen in communities in which
the raising of tobacco is the princi-
pal industry. Tobacco men do not
want young boys in their own COM
munities to smoke.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BOY.

1t is always regarded by boy ne a
privilege to take horse to the shop to
be shod, for there are many interest
ing things to be seen in a smithy, and
when there are several customers
ahead one must wait his turn, and
that gives more time to explore the
shop. To sit on seat improvised Of
two kegs and board, placed on the
broad platform of the forge, and then
watch the smith shape shoe, or weld
a toe-piece on the shoe, while the
sparks fly in every direction, is as
good as seeing fireworks display on
the Fourth of July.
The shop in which thus passed
many pleasant half hour, had the old
fashioned bellows and big stone-buit
forge, and not the patent blower and
tiny forge which mark present-dav
shops. 1t was treat to be allowed
to pump the bellows and to poke the
fire with an iron rod and see Ire
sparks fly skyward.
The smith was an oldfashioned man
and often made his own shoes and
forged his own nails, as was the gen.
eral custom forty years ago. This
work was done at night mostly, and
always there was circle of idlers
sitting on the warm forge watching
the smith rapidly fashion the nails
from slender rod that he had per-
haps forged from scraps gathered
about the shop.
The farm boy usually rode "bare
back" to the shop, and if the horse was
well-kept the riders legs usually
reached about third of the way down
the horses sides, and when the animal
was urged into a trot it required a
good deal of skill to enable the small
boy to keep his seat. If, as some-
times happened, he lost his equilibrium
and slid off, he usually saved himself
bad fall by clinging to the horses
name and neck and letting hinseli
down easily. Such accidents wers
never reported at home, lest the boy
be judged too small to take the horst
to the shop.
In summer, however, the task wa.
not so pleasant, for then the boy wal
expected to keep the flies off the hors'
by means of horse tail attached to I
wooden handle, while the smith wal
shoeing it. If the boy Jagged ia tn
least, and the horse used its own weap
on of defense and switched the smiti
in the eye, there were sure to follow
some vigorous remarks about TIL
worthlessness Of small boys in gen
i eral and one in particular.
