Father Flees Curse
Visited or, Children
Deserts Mother of Blind
Children When She Won't
Break Spell.

MT. PLEASANT. Pa. Feb. 19. Some
years ago when she was but n girl Of
sixteen. Mrs. Annie Yusko caught seven
ducks belonging to q neighbor and
plucked out their eyes.
The neighbor hurled imprecations
upon her for tho act, and wished that
God might visit misfortune upon her
In kind"
Today the three children Of Mrs
Yusko are almost totally blind. And
because her husband, George Yusko
could not prevail upon her to break the
curse" by apologizing to the woman
whose ducks she injured, he has de-
serted her. fearful that other children
might be born blind.
Surgeons declare that constant worr,
over the neighbor's words is responsible
for the condition Of the children.
The facts were brought out at q hear
ing following the arrest Of Yusko on q
charge of non-support.
