John Lavery. 14 years old of 1152 Noble avenue jumped into the icy waters of Berkshire pond, yesterday afternoon to rescue his playmate, George Kelly of 8s6 Boston avenue, who had broken through the ice about 50 feet from the shore, and appeared to be in serious danger of drowning.
 Several attempts to pull the Kelly boy from the water by those present at the time proved unavailing, as sticks, ropes and sleds were pushed to him by those on the edge Of the broken ice. The boy was confused and partly numbed from contact with the ice cold water, and seemed un- able to help himself.
 After Kelly had gone down twice and appeared to be sinking for the third time young Lavery without any hesitation dove into the water for his friend. He grasped Kelly, and swan with him to the edge of the broken ice, where with the assistance of sev- eraI other boys he succeeded In get ting the unconscious Kelly onto the strong ice. Both boys are pupils at St. Charles parochial school.

An obs server has brought the microscope to bear on many house flies and finds that the parasite upon that hateful insect is often on immature spider. Too weak yet to spin its web 1t makes the fly It's winged palfrey, and courses from place to place at the will of it's captive; either until Pegasus per Ishes naturally or presumably until the rider has grown up and Is able to make a meal of his charger.

as am now and used to deny my
self such pleasures as taking oil and
let the others have my share. Speak

are oil shares Of almost any denomi-

shares for men like Col. George Ran

to slip from one thing to another
when you are well oiled and get
warmed up.
"There was another oil ] remem-

but after it had been seen awhile
they called it kerosene. John D.

all Greek to the public and John D.

reasons never used it on my hair.

it would do the most good on bad
