count for Their Amazing Preva- Ience in England.

Infant prOdigies are being diScov- cred in England almost daily. Some connect this with the psychology of war. One of the youthful marvels IS Pamela BiancO, a thirteen-year-old girl artist. whose drawings were given the place of honor in an exhibition at one of the principal London galleries.
 Critics dealt with them quite seri- ously and said that the work was sug- gcS,ive of Botticeli and some of the other old masters. Pamela is an Italian girl who was born in England and never had taken any drawing les sons.

RUNAWAY EXCITES TOWNSEND
Horse of George Ivory Comes Thru
Without a Scratch.

Townsend, Sept. 14.-George Ivory.
of Townsend, has the odd distinction
OF being the owner of a horse that
can pull off a runaway stunt with the
street over which it travelled in the
wild dash, lined with hitched teams
on either side and with the thorough.
fare decidedly narrow one, and come
out of the exciting mile dash without
a scratch to the horse or the carriage.
Becoming frightened at a train on
Thursday the animal rushed down
Railroad avenue and went around the
the sharp corner at the railroad cross
ing with the same skill as was shown
at the start of the journey and also
passed between two farm wagons that
were halted in the road, yet there was
barely room for a team to go be-
tween them, but the runaway team
touched neither. The horse was
caught by some farmers on the out
skirts of town.
