He was cross eyed. especially in the

His ears were large and stuck ont at
right angles TO his face as IT, and quite
excusably, they were trying to get
away from it.
He had a mustache like a little red
shoe brush.
His mouth was an inch bigger than
the biggest you ever saw. and his face
was covered with freckles. the smallest
as big as a Canadian dime. On the sixth
OF May, he took a new horse from the
stables because his own horse was down
with the spravits. The new horse didn't
get a look at him until he had been
riding about an hour. when the horse

BOYS WILD AS SAVAGES
Woodman's s Sons Amaze COMMISSIONS
of Warren County

Warren, Pa, Feb. 22.-Upon com
plant of f. o. Warner, of Pittsfield
township, that his sons, Oscar and
George, Ia and 16, might kill or injurt
him, County Commissioners Nook and
Cramer went to the Warner shack tC
arrest them Saturday.
The Commissioners had to fight like
tigers to get Oscar, the oldest boy
through an attic hole through which the
youngsters had crawled in flight. Then
George followed. When the Commits
sioners saw the boys in the light they
were startled. The lads had long hair
wild look and were dressed misera
bly,. The boys speak no known tongue
To all appearance they are mentally
the equals of the savages who lived IN
the dark ages. Yet they were born in
Warren county.
How the boys have lived in this con
dition unknown to the public is mys
terry. Neither has ever attended school
and from infancy they have roamed the
woods at will, sleeping and eating away
from home half the time. The two were
brought to the Warren county Jail, but
since their arrival they have not utter
ed word and have refused to eat. The
only nourishment they have taken il
water.

At the Orphcum

They aren It going to cut down cherry
trees at the Orpheum this week by way
of celebrating the birthday of the Fa-
ther of our Country, but they are going
to do something more typical and some
thing that is much in keeping with the
doctrine of our peace loving forefather.
Few people realize that the headliner
of the new weeks offering serves to
bring one or more singers of each of the
European countries now at war. So it
will be the small duty of the manage
ment to see that all recognize the neu-
trail flag. 1t is an actual fact that ma
tives of countries now in the struggle
