STILL A CHANCE

nounces that delinquents on per

of 25 per cent is now added, may
save the further costs of reckrm

steps are taken.
On real property the penalty
may be evaded by “coming
across” before the list is made
out, which will probably be 20
days.

FRIGHT RESTORES SPEECH
Ylames in Hoorn of Dumb and^ Par
alyzed Man So Scare Him *
That He Begins to Talk.
Thomas Herring, a dumb and par
alyzed old man living with his son-in
law, E. Moas, in London, was so over
come with fright when a fire broke out
in his bedroom recently that be sud
denly began to speak.
Herring, who is 71 years old, was a
robust man, and up to a short time ago
was enjoying good health, even work
ing at a small blacksmith’s forge On®
day he suffered a stroke of paralysis,
which also left him speechless.
The other evening two men rushed
in shouting that one of the upper
rooms was on fire. Running up stair*
to the chamber of his father-in-law
Moss saw that th« window curtains
were ablaze and the woodwork was
alight The wind had blown open the
window and this had knocked over a
lamp, causing the fire
The paralyzed man lay on the bed
helpless, unable to stir hand or foot
or raise a cry of alarm. The agonized
look on his face showed, however, that
he realized the terrible nature of hi*
position. The flames were smothered
before they had made much progress,
and the patient escaped unhurt.
Shortly after the family were sur
prised to hear the voice of the par
alyzed father.. He was able to speak
distinctly a few words and his speech
was coherent The next days his pow
ers of speech were still further restored
and he regained the complete use of his
voice and was able easily to converse
with the family.
The restoration of the lost faculty
was evidently the outcome of the shock
which his system experienced on thl
outbreak of the fire.
Although the paralysis of the limbs
remains, Mr. Herring’s health has Im
proved so much that he has been re
moved from the house to a hospital,
where It Is the nnininn that ha mav
live a long time.
EXTOLS MARTIAL SPIRIT.
Gen. Sickles Declares War Was Or*
dained by God and We Will
Always Have It.
The cornerstone of a monument to
be erected in Salem Fields cemetery.
Cypress Hills, L. I., in honor of Jews
who lost their Uves in defense of the
union was laid recently. Nathan Straus,
chairman of the auxiliary committee of
the Hebrew Union Veteran association,
presided. In the course of his remarks
Mr. Straus referred to “A time when
war will be reckoned a survival of bar
barism.” This brought a protest from
Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, retired,
who lost a leg at Gettysburg.
“Although we are assembled in a
cemetery,” said Gen. Sickles, “this Is
not a funeral occasion. No death Is
more glorious than death for one’s
country. I know many think that wans
are dreadful, but we have had our
wars since the world began, and we
shall always have wars. In the provi
dence of God war was ordained, and
the human race will always fight for
what it loves. This nation was found
ed through war. Would George III,
have agreed to arbitration to let us
found an independent government? No.
We have liberty because our fathers
fought seven years for independence,
and we will always have to fight to
maintain our freedom.
“I hope the time will never come
when we shall cease to be a martial
people, or be unwilling to take up aims
in defense of our country. In the day
we are unwilling to fight for our lib
erties we shall surely lose the respect
of the world."
HORSE FALLS IN CISTERN.
Then Battles with a Water Moccasin
tor .Lire—Kescuea by
Firemen.
A horse belonging to William Scales,
of Kansas City, Kan., fell in an unused
cistern the other day. The animal was
almost submerged, nothing but his head
and neck remaining above the water
When the hose company from lire head
guarters arrived a large water moccasin
about five feet long had wrapped itselt
about the horse's neck and had bitter
the animal several time*.
The snake was an ugly looking reptile,
and for a few moments the firemen hesi
tated about going down in the well. Vol
unteers were called for, and some of the
men. more venturesome than the rest,
climbed down on a ladder and with a
large stick killed the snake. The hors*
was then lifted from the cistern and a
veterinary surgeon applied antidotes
for the snake's bite. Although the horse
suffered considerably from the com
bined effects of the fall and the snake
bites, it will recover.
Unearths Petrified Dinosaur.
W. H. Utterbeck. representing the
Carnegie museum at Pittsburg, Pa,, has
in his possession portions of a petrified
dinosaur, called the triceratops, which
were exhumed on Hell creek, in Dawsoa
county, Montana. The load weighed
2,500 pounds. The remaining portions
will weigh about the same, and it will
take until fall to excavate them.
Chickens Find Lost Diamond.
A diamond ring valued at $150, which

JURs CHOSEN
FOR ROBERTS TRIAL.
Mrs. R. G. Lightle Suffers Ner
vous Prostration in Court
Room and is Taken to
Hotel in Carriage.
Marianna, April 11.—The trial
of John V. Roberts on charges
growing out of the sensational
grave robbery and life insurance
swindle at Searcy last May began
in the circuit court here on a
change of venue today.
The case was called this morn
ing at 9 o’clock, but was carried
over until 2 this afternoon on ac
count of Conductor Ed Dickey
and Dr. Faust, witnesses, being
absent. Dr. Faust came in this
evening. Dickey is in Memphis
sick.
After nearly four hours the
jury was selected to try the case.
Two deputy sheriffs were
sworn in tonight to take charge
of the jury, and Judge Hutton
notified the jurors not to talk to
anyone nor to read the papers.
VV. A. Compton, who was
county judge of Pulaski county
four years, has been retained by
the prosecution.
The defense exhausted their
twenty and the state five out of
ten challenges.
Mrs. R. G. Lightle, who is here
as a witness for the defense, was
taken ill in the court room this
evening on account of nervous
prostration, and was attended
by Ur. williams, tier suaaen
illness caused considerable com
motion in the court room, which
was packed to its utmost capac
ity. Mrs. Lightle was taken to
the hotel in a carriage and is in
a serious condition tonight.
The opening argument will be
made tomorrow and the case will
consume the balance of the week.
DEATH THAT IS PAINLESS.
Him; Tramps Who Take Their Laa*
Sleep on Bernina; Culm Banks
la Pennsylvania.
Death cornea in many forms In th«
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania, bat
only one form is painless and pleasant,
and to only one the victims go uncon
sciously. It is the death of the burning
culm bank, 3ays the New York Sun.
Many times during the year la sueh
• death recorded when one of thesa
great culm banks is burning. The flra
la not seen in the daytime, and at night
it shines only with a faint glow
through the layers of ashes which sep
arate the live coals frwn the outer air.
To these burning LJnks tramps and
other unfortunates, forced to spend t
Qlght in the open air, go when the nights
grow chilly. The warm breath of the
culm lures them on with a promise of a
warm bed for the night, and they lls
down to sleep In the comfortable atmos
phere of the bank and never open their
eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from the
bank waft over them so softly that they
are soon asleep, and in many cases thej
ue'tr awaken, being suffocated during
vh night.
The toys and playthings of
Queen Victoria, which in their in
trinsic value do not 6ompare with
the priceless jubilee presents, will
appeal to the sentiment of all who
see them, says the Minneapolis
Tribune. They are at the replica
of the Orangery at Kensington
palace, the birthplace of the
queen.
When a child she spent many
happy hours in the quaint old
building, designed more than 200
years ago for the famous Queen
Anne.
Some of the dolls bear the
marks of the affection lavished
upon them by the little princess.
