Remarkable Cure That Was Effected
BY the Administration Of Ar

On his return to his native heath

the neighborhood very much agitated
Nellie, the oldest woman in the parish,
was dying.
Her friends, arriving at her home,
found her lying back in her easy chair,
apparently about to pass over the last
threshold. Nellie. being a good house
wife, carried bunch of keys at her
girdle and, thinking that she was now
gone, one of the neighbors reached
under the folds OF her dress to find
the key that would unlock the closet
where her shroud was kept. AS the
good woman was fumbling at the cir
die she felt sly pinch OF her hand
and knew by that that there was still
a spark Of life remaining.
Perhaps" she suggested. "a wee
drop of brandy would revive her."
A teaspoonful of brandy was ad-
ministered. but with only a pickering
response. So the friends departed sor-
rowfully. forgetting however, to re-
move the bottle from her side. On
their return a few hoars later they
discovered that the brandy had van.

Brushing Up.

This other day the III. Lieber com

in the show window, had one that
attracted special attention. 1t was a
large picture representing an immense
lioness and four cubs. Together with
the praise bestowed on this group,
there was some criticism. What
fool artist got up that picture?" said
an elderly observer. Anyone ought 20

any lioness. This word picked up

The United States has led the

PRISONERS BUY LAND.
Wisconsin Inmates Lend Aid to Provide

We realize that farm home for
city boys will be the saving of many
boys from criminal life," declares
the resolution accompanying a gift
of $45.75, received today toward the
purchase of an acre of land for the
Wisconsin Farm and Home school
at Dousman.
The sum represents the savings
of many cOnvicts of the state peni-
tentiary. We pledge one acre
in the wish to save our younger
brothers from the fate that has fol-
lowed our own wickedness," contin-
ues the resolution.
Prisoners Act Quickly
The acre will cost $67. When
the convicts heard of the campaign
to raise money for the home they
responded Immediately. They have
pledged themselves to raise the re-
malnder and are working now to
obtain it.
The management of the school
recently started campaign to in
duce characterizations and charita-
bly, inclined individuals to con-
tribute an acre each for the farm.
The prisoners were told that the
aim of the school was to provide
wholesome farm home for boys who
had not fair chance in life.
The idea appealed 80 strongly to
the men that prison meeting was
called Immediately, resulting in
their gift.
