These men combed the water front.
They kept watchful eyes on every ves-

had been fishing during the after
noon with his friend. Harold Briggs,
Of the same age. Just before six
o'clock the barefooted boys attempt-
ed to CROSS the old dam over which
the water rushes in places. They
had proceeded nearly half way when
at one Of the spillways In the old
structure where the water poured
over. coming nearly to the knees Of
the boys. both lost their footing on
the slippery timbers and were swept
into the deeper water below. The
accident was witnessed from the steel
bridge above the dam by Mrs. Kelly,
Worthington's mother. She noted
that the boys were having difficulty
in making their way across the dam
and called to them to stand still just
before they disappeared in the
waters.
Young Briggs says that when they
went down the chute into the rapids
below he saw his friend for time
and attempted to reach him. Being
unable to do this, he swan down
the stream and landed on the south
bank and was badly chilled and much
excited when he reached the bridge.
Searchers at once sought to recover
the body of Worthy" but darkness
made the work difficult. though nets
were spread and the pool below the
dam was dragged time and again. The
hunt for the body of the unfortunate
boy was continued until about IL
o'clock this forenoon, when it was
found in four feet Of water about
a quarter Of mile below the dam,
it having been carried down by the

selling the Watkins remedies about
the country. This is the second
to occur in the family. an
other boy, then about 10 years Of
age, having lost his life in the Hepp-

mother and sister in that disaster,
and the shock Of the present loss is
especially severe for her.
Arrangements for the funeral have

The housewife who is fortunate to
possess a haunch of %venison, cooks it a
day or two before Christmas, so as to
be sure she is giving full attention to
the details of roasting. The venison
is washed in warm water and well
dried with a cloth. A sheet of white
paper is buttered and laid owe the fat
ty section of the roast, then the whole
put in a deep baking pan with a very
little boiling water. When Il covered
dish is not used the roast is snuggly
protected witt a coarse paste one-half
inch thick and a layer of paper. Before
covered baked dishes We're discovered
in the south all venison was roasted
in a jacket of this kind. and in this
method of cooking a little intangible
flavor steals into the game, a flavor
that is missing when the conventional

Ing to the size of the haunch and when
