Cottonwood Falls, KAMA big tooth,
which is supposed TO have come from
the jaw of some mastodOn of prehis-
toric ages, has been unearthed by T. E.
Nichols of this city by men employed
In making a deep cut on Diamond
creek, a mile and a half northeast Of
Elmdale The trench had been sunk
to a depth of fifty-three feet and had
passed through an eight foot gravel
strata when the big tooth was found.
A soapstone formation was encounter
ed just beneath 1t.
The tooth is well preserved. It
weighs over three pounds. measures
a foot and three inches in circumfer-
ence around its base and is three
inches In height from its base TO the
points of the tooth. 1t is oblong in
shape, It's width being three and a
half inches. There are six flanges or
points to the tooth, which extend up
ward In regular pairs. The tooth has
two large roots, there being about three
or four inches of the root intact, but
the lower parts are broken off. 1t is
believed the tooth belonged to car

by another workman. 1t is a large

The fathers attention was called to
the child by the frantic barking Of the
farm dog, and upon investigating he
found that the dog was guarding the
insensible form of the little boy from
bunch Of horses In the pasture where
the little fellow had wandered in his
play.
The childs forehead was crushed,
the nose broken and the eye laid open
by the flesh being all torn from It, As
he was still alive he was rushed to a
hospital with all possible speed. The
surgeon performed very delicate op-

That he was not instantly killed Is
probably due to the fact that the
horses hoof struck a glancing blow,
and that he lives at all is because there
was skillful surgeon available.

HE'S A GIANT SUPERMAN.
Never Used Meat, Pepper, Alcohol, Tea,

Clinton, Mo.-Dusty and travel worn,
but with his long strides retsining the
vigor of all his eighteen years of back
woods life, Clarence Barton trudged
into town after covering 100 miles
from Turner. No. He came In the
heat and dust over the miles of hills
afoot to attend the Missouri confer
ences Of the Seventh Day Adventists.
And this youth has lived a strange
life in the very modern and up to date
state of Missouri.
In all his eighteen years he never
tasted mouthful of meat. Never has
a drink Of tea or coffee passed his
lips. His meager fare of daily food
has never been seasoned with pepper.
He never has tasted drop of alcohol
in any form and does not know the
tang Of tobacco smoke. And he is a
perfect spccimen-a young backwoods
giant. Barton excelled in all the
sports of the camp.

in a critical condition recently. He
had a life and death struggle with a
huge jellyfish. Four hundred feet from

ly attacked.
He saw before him what he later
said looked like a huge sheet of butter
and eggs. Suddenly the strips of yell
low and white began to separate from
the mass and extend toward him. He
turned to swim out Of reach when the
creature threw its tentacles about him.
and the mad fight was on In the
struggle Wilson broke the mass into
fragments, but reached the shore ex-
hausted and his face and shoulders
singing as though from scalds.
At the hospital it was said that the
patient would recover His pain at
times was so intense that morphine
had to be administered. His shoulders
and face resemble one mass of poison

SISTERS EARN $2,4W.
Set New Agricultural Record Raising
Cabbages.

Greensburg, Pa. - Four Westmore-
land county young women, daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. II. Smith, near
Ruffsdale, have established a new agri-
cultural record In the yield and profits
to be derived from a two acre plot Of
cabbage.
The Misses Smith. the eldest of
whom is eighteen, now have a bank
account of 5000, with accounts due
from Pittsburgh commission men
amounting to 5000, and a quarter of
their cabbage yet remains to be cut
and marketed. Buyers estimate the
value of the entire field at about ST.
400.
Early last spring Smith turned the
two acre plot over to his daughters,
telling them to make any use Of it they
desired. The girls, after closely scan
ming the market reports for weeks, de-
cided to grow cabbages. They set about
$4,000 plants.

SHAD SIGN OF MILD WINTER.

Caught In Lower Hudson For First
Time In Thirty Years.
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.-Shad were caught
in the Hudson river for the first time
in thirty years at this season Of the
year. The fishing experts say that it is
an infallibe sign of an open winter.
John II. Lange, professional fisher
man, caught the shad In the gill nets
he had set in the running tideway for
striped bass. Lavinas D. Hill, a recog-
nized authority on fishing, said that
shad usually went south TO warmer
waters in the fall, and when caught in
the lower Hudson thirty years ago the
weather was so mild that the river
was open for navigation all through
the winter.
