Tuesday UnIucky Day For
Leatherman Families.
Orestes Gets Leg Broken and
Hayshed on Lewis Farm Burns.

HayShed on Lewis Farm Burns
Tuesday of this week while telling
trees on his farm near Lewistown, Mr.
Orestes Leatherman met with very Sc
rious accident. He and his helper hac
sawed through locust tree, and as the
| tree fell, the top struck another tree anc
this gave the falling tree turn and al
the same time showed it backward, anC
before it finally landed caught Mr.. Leath-
erman, the butt of the tree falling across
his right leg. A number of men work.
ing nearby went to his assistance and
carried him to his home. Drs E. C. Ke-
fauver of Thurmont and Miller of Lew
istown, were summoned and upon exam
nation found his leg horribly mashed,
the bone being broken and splinters pro-
truding through the flesh between the
knee and ankle. On account of the SER
iousness of the injury, Mr.. Leatherman
was taken to Frederick City Hospital for
treatment. His stepbrother, DR.. d. l.
Leatherman, surgeon of prominence at
Greensburg, Pa, was summoned to Fred
erick to render aid, he arriving in Fred
erick about eight o'clock Wednesday
morning. Everything possible will be
done to avoid amputating the leg.
Mr. j. Howard Creeger of Thurmont,
who was working at his sawmill near the
place the accident occurred, rendered
valuable assistance to Mr.. Leatherman.
Several years ago Mr.. Leatherman was
thrown from his buggy and sustained
broken arm.
Hayshed Burned.
Tuesday night of this week the large
hay shed on Mr.. Levi C. Leatherman'
farm situated near Lewistown, was burn
ed together with about 20 tons Of hay
and about all the farm implements ex-
.ept binder and cornplanter.
Mr.. Leatherman resides in Thurmont,
lis son Paul living on the farm.
The fire started about 1890 o'clock,
md was first seen spreading rapidly over
he hay by Mrs. Paul Leatherman, who,
With her housenaid and little children
we're alone, her husband being away help
ing to move neighbor and had not yet
returned.
Mrs. Leatherman, although much fright
ened, ran to the barn and turned all live
stock out of the stables, but conld do but
little toward saving anything about the
burning building.
Persons travelling the State Road came
first to her assistance and in short time
nearby neighbors and citizens of Lewis
town arrived and aided in keeping the
flames from the barn which is but short
from the shed.
The fire is believed to be of incendiary
origin. The loss will probably be near
So, 900 partly covered by insurance.
Mr.. Levi Leatherman did not learn of
the fire until Wednesday morning.

OPPOSES RAISE OF
PARCEL POST RATES
6ANkHEAp SAYS IT THREATENS
EXISTENCE OF RURAL FREE
DELIVERY SYSTEM.


Washington. Feb. 24.-That the very
existence Of the rural free delivery
service in the United States is threat
ened by the proposition to allow the
postmaster general to extend the
weight limit of parcel post packages
to 100 pounds is the opinion of the
Senate committee on postoffice and
post roads.
1T is for the American people to de-
eide" continued Senator Bankhead,
whether they prefer rural free deliv-
cry or parcel post. am satisfied in
my own mind that the extension of
the weight limit at which a parcel
package may be sent through the mail
to 100 pounds would mean the death
of rural free delivery. Heavier pack
ages now are transmitted through the
mail here than the laws Of England,
Germany or any foreign country hav-
ing parcel post system in operation.
In England, for instance, the weight
limit is IL pounds, which was the linn
it originally fixed by the Congress of
| the United States. II parcel of
100 pounds is allowed free delivery,
we shall soon see bales Of hay, kegs
of nails, half-barrels of -four and the
like going through the mail"
The foregoing are some Of the rea-
sons cited by Senator Bankhead for
the action of the Senate postoffice
committee in amending the House
postoffice bill. Besides the commits
sion which was created by Congress
to investigate the question of parcel
post weight limits has not reported on
the proposition to allow the postmas-
ter-general to extend the limit to Ice
pounds.
Senator Bankhead called attention
to the fact that parcel post package
allowances had been already advanced
In weight from IL to 50 pounds. max
ing the parcel post service In the Uni
ted States the most generous in ths
whole world.
Senator Bankhead declared that i
was solely with view to the mainte
; nance of the rural free delivery ser
vice, which was affording universe
satisfaction, that the Senate postoi
fee committee has reported It's amend
ment to the House postofflce bill Wit
!, reference to extending the weight lin
it of parcel post packases.
S He also said that not suf6cien
time had been given in which to q
s ternine the operation Of the ss-poun
parcel package limit. which afsrde
another reason for not extending III
weight limit to 1os pounds before tn

Spring Tonic.

In April the patent medicine" tonic
~ fourishes. As the first warmth of
spring brought feeling of lassitude,
the farmers wife in older days would go
searching through the woods for YARDS"
from which to make brew as tonic
for the whole family. The city man,
feeling the laziness of "spring fever"
coming over him, brought from the cor
ner drug store Accent package of "Old
Doc" Somebody's spring tonic. consisting
of the same useless "yarbs," liberal
dose of pure alcohol, and perhaps a
touch of strychnin. But things are
changing; there are not so many taking
spring tonics" as in the older days.
Men have learned, says The Journal of
the American Medical association, that
the best spring tonics are the gifts of
a beneicent nature. A full breath of
fresh spring air, brisk walk along
road, a plunge into the cool
waters of the old swimming -hole-if the
water is pure and COLOR the morning
shower if in the city, fresh green food.
or the pursuit after bounding golf bail
over a springy course-those are real in
true tonics.
