Thomas Herring, a pav*
alyzed old man living wiHMs soa-im
law, E. Moss, in London, wain so over
come with fright when a fire Iroke out
in his bedroom recently that he 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. One
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 ap stairs
to the chamber of his father-in-law
Moss saw that the 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 his
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 ooherent 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 tS« lost faculty
was evidently the outcdtne of the shock
which his system experienced on the
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 opinion that he may
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 te
be erected in Salem Fields cemetery,
Cypress Hills, L. I., in honor of Jews
who lost their Mves in defense of the
union was laid recently. Nathan Straus,
cuairmau ot me auxiliary commiuee or
the Hebrew Union Veteran association,
presided. In the course of his remarke
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 ware
are dreadful, but we have had our
wars since the world began, and we
shall always have wafs. In the provi
dence of God war was ordained, and
the human mce will always fight for
what it lovea. 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 corns
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
for Life—Rescued 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 fire head
mia rtora arri voH a lartro vafoe mrmnaoin
about five feet long had wrapped itself
about the horse's neck and had bitten
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 horse
was then lifted from the cistern and a
veterinary surgeon applied antidotee
for the snake's bite. Although the horse
suffered considerably from the com
bined effects of the fall and the 3nake
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 Dawson
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
was lost by Miss Rebecca Rennosgh at
the home of Wright Griffen, in Great
Barrington, Mass., 14 years ago, was
unearthed by chickens vigorouailf
scratching in the soil the other day. The
jewel was found by Frederick Burg
hardt, who has notified Miss Re«nough.
The ring is in perfect condition.
