BADLY INJURED
Fifteen Year-Old Lewis County Boy
Caught BY n Falling Tree.

Clarence Tolle, 15-year-old son of
John Tolle of Vanceburg, was seri-
ously injured Saturday by being
caught between falling tree and an
other that stood near.
He had been cutting a good sized
chestnut tree for wood and when he
thought it about ready to fall, he
turned to tell his little brother to get
out of the way, when the tree fell in
the opposite direction from which he
expected and he was caught between
the falling tree and another near by.
His head was severely bruised and
his scalp torn to such an extent that
It required eleven stitches to close
the. wounds.
AS the tree fell 1t jumped OFF the
stump and the butt struck him in the
stomach, from which injury he seems
TO suffer more than from the wounds
in his scalp. He came home without
assistance, but suffered greatly from
loss of blood.

the WOman's Clnb.

One of the most helpful addresses
ever made before the Womans Club
of this city was that delivered Thurs
day afternoon by Prof. Sweeney, head
of the Home Economics Department of
State University at Lexington.
Miss Sweeney had talked but q few
minutes before she had the entire in
tcrest of her audience. II was plain,
everyday subject she dealt with, but
under her treatment each division of
the subject, although commonplace
topic of daily conversation, grew until
IL assumed undreamed of Importance.
Her analysis of different foods as to
their relatives value to the body in
their properties of lime. phosphates
and iron, seemed almost magical. Her
disposition of the drug question as a
fallacy was convincing. She explain
ed how one vegetable contained more
iron than was to be found in the So
called iron bitters. Her menus are
ones of simplicity and economy.
She closed by quoting from DR.. De-
vine of New York, who had found
from experience and investigation
that much of the crime in that city
originated from i'll prepared food and
homes that were dirty and not fit for
habitation.
II was pity that the hall was not
filled to overlooking. Miss Sweeney

bitiOn of his life-perhaDs passion
would be q more accurate TERMS
to get married and to rear a large
family, preferably Of boys. Second
only to that is his desire, having
reared his family, to have the mem
bers Of it married as well. And be-
cause marriage is the beginning and
end Of the existence Of q Chinese peas
ant the matter is taken with quite
tremendous seriousness. He marrics
young. Rather, he is married young,
for the contracting parties are not the
two most Immediately concerned, but
their parents.
The contract is drawn up long be-
fore the young people are Of mar
riageable age, and past it the young
people cannot go if they wish. But
they seldom wish. The young man is
content with the choice made by his
mother. One girl is as good as anoth-
err to him, SO always she can rear
family. What women think in China
matters nothing to any one; among
the peasant class, that is to say. Yet

young man seldom dreams Of provid-
ing a home for his bride. He is con-
tent to take her to his fathers house,
and to rear his children there. The
time will come, Of course, when the
little home will become too small, but
it serves him for a very long time
first.
Everyone Worker.
From this custom of two or three
generations living together springs the
fact that everyone, from the young
est to the Oldest, does some kind Of
work to help. A little tot Of three may
be seen gathering bits Of stick; the
tottering old grandmother is generally
found trying to weave or spin. Chi
nese youngsters appear to have no real
childhood. They do not laugh as do
our children, or as do the children,
say, Of our japanese allies. In point
Of fact, one has to visit Japan to find
children who appear to make the most
of life. They laugh all day and every
day, and they never seem to find any
thing worth crying over. Yet II must
not be supposed that, because the
Chinese child works at an age when
our children can do little more than
toddle, life for them is one of gloom.
In their own way, they are perfectly
happy while they are working, End
one doubts whether they would be
anything like 80 contented If they
were set to play as we know play. The
same holds OF the wife of the peasant.

THIS is being written in China,
where, at the moment of writ
ing, there is much talk OF dis
covering and following the
will of the people on the question of
monarchy or republic. Those who
best know China can only smile. There
Is something amusing in the idea of
discovering the will Of China's mil
lions of peasants on a subject OF ma
tional moment, says writer in the
Dundee Courier.
The patient Chinese husbandman
knows nothing and cares less whether
he is ruled by president or an en-
peror. His opinion on any matter OF
national Importance will not be dis
covered within the next 100 years. He
has to discover it himself before 9TH
ers can do SO. At present it does not
exist. His one idea of good govern
1ncnt is to be left alone in peace with
out being too greatly robbed by off,
Gals. If his crops are good he leaves
those who are interested in them. For
his part, he has less than no interest.
The Chinese peasant is a man al
most entirely without ambition. He
has two ruling passions Of life, and
these are so closely allied that they
may be described as one, The acqui-
sition of wealth is out Of the question
for him. To him a Mexican dollar
which is worth about 1 shilling 8
pence is a vast sum, and twenty Of
them constitute a fortune. II he earns
the equivalent of two pence a day he
is doing famously, but you cannot
save much off two pence day. Since
he cannot amass wealth, therefore, he
sets himself to amass family If one
may so phrase it. The strongest am

ct know something about geology,
of course, and there were many inter-
esting formations. Suddenly the heavy
silence would be broken by the cry of
the machete man as he saw light
ahead, and we would come out on an
open space with perhaps half dozen
mud volcanoes in active operation.
The men got off to examine every
strange or promising formation, OF
course. I often went with the party
after that first trip during the months
we stayed in Lorica.
Up the Rio de Orc.
@Iater we went up the Rio de Orc
in the launch as far as the country Of
the savages east of Bogota. They
have never been disturbed since the
Spaniards drove them into their noun
tain Businesses and they shoot at in
truders on sight with poisoned arrows.
We saw some of them like dark pieces
of bronze among the trees, but did not
go too near.
"The savages may have been afraid
of the putting Of the launch, for they
did not trouble us.
"The woods Indians greeted us with
the greatest interest, however. AS
soon as we made our camp they would
manage something in the way of
clothes and then appeal with fruit
and fowls to sell. They were wonder
fully skillful and in a few hours they
had cut down and made tree trunk
canoe when we came out on the banks
of Rio Sardinata. It was followed
out, Clipped off and a canvas shelter
arranged for me almost before we hat
finished our arrangements to send
back our horses. The Indians with
their long poles took us down not only
the Rio Sardinata but the San Miguel.
On the Rio Buzio, a trihas2ry of the
Catatumbo, we saw natives killing
alligators along the banks. There is
no swimming in these streams, for
they are full Of alligators and sharks"

Life in Lorica.
From my windows I could see the
women washing in the river, carrying
their bundles of clothes down to con-
venient stone and padding them with
boards, then spreading them on bushes
to dry. Everything we needed in the
household was brought to the door
by natives. Live chickens and tur-
keys, yuccas, mangoes, the yellow
fruit that tastes rather like a sweet
plum, cocoanuts and lucas are all
poled down the river in canoes. Then
there is cocoanut flour bread rolled out
into thin sheets like Jewish matzos.
I liked to go down to the wharf on
market days, though the native ladies
never do Even the cloth for their
dresses is brought to the house in
bolts by the servants.
GAS matter of fact, they wear only
a. Jacket and skirt, it is so very hot,
less than nine degrees from the equa-
tor. Children, even of the better class,
20 entirely without clothing up to five
and six. And there are so many OF
them! Fifteen is not particularly
large family, and I met one charming
woman who had twenty-five. Grand
parents, father and mother, the mar
ried sons and daughters and all the
children live together in the same fam
lilies with all their children in absolute
harmony. They keep a great many
servants, of course, for wages are very
low, and treat them almost like mem
bers Of the family.
"The lower classes are a mixture OF
Indian, Chinese and negro, but the
aristocrats are almost pure Spanish.
They are charmingly friendly-much
more so than the Mexican women
and I became very fond of some or
them. They never could understand
why I wanted to go out into the jun
gle, but they were too polite to say so!
They were very pretty in their white
jackets that looked almost like our
middies and the dainty little shoes, Of
which they are so proud. Even the
native women who go barefoot have
small, slender feet and the most beau
tiful long hair It Is almost always
prettily dressed in spite of the fact
that they carry everything on their
heads. I have seen woman with
two five-gallon OF. tins filled with wa
ter on her head, eut she only walked
q little straighter than usual.
Going Into the Jungle.
81 never shall forget the start on
my own first trip into the jungle. I
wore a divided skirt, in which the ma
tives were much interested. They
were more dressed than usual them
selves. and all the Indians we met re-
tired as soon as they saw me, and
