—"lt seems to me," said tho expert
wheelman, "that I wouli hesitate a long
time before I took a little child en the
wheel with me. Not that I would be
afraid of falling, but I would be very ap
prehensive that eome clumsy rider should
run into me. It never occurred to me be
fore until the other night, that gave me a
cold chill, and sent my hair up on end. I
was tundliDg along on ray wheel and just
ahead of me was a gentleman with a little
child —his baby daughter—in a basket
seat on his wheel. As he nea :ed Pearl
street there cauie around the comer at
a tearing pace a scorcher with his head
down, shoulders humped and pedaling for
all he W2B worth, lie was looking neither
to the right nor the left. The man on the
wheel with his little daughterju.it manag
ed to get out of the way in time to avoid a
collision, and I could see the man's face
grow white as he realized what he and his
little one bad escaped. The danger does
not lie in the liability to fall, but in colid
iug with other riders. It that scorcher
had hit tho man on the wheel with his
daughter it would have knocked them
both off, and serious injury would have
been done."

A traction engine to which was attached
a thresher, belonging to a Mr. Bruce, was
being moved from one farm to another
near Rural Valley, Armstrong county,
early last week, and in crossing a tempo
lary gas line that had not been buried very
deep, the weight of the engine caused the
threads of the pipe to give away allowing
'he gas to escape, aud when the fire box
of the engine pa-sed over the line, the gas
jguited and flamed up thirty feet, severely
burning one ot the men who was sitting on
the thresher, besides burning belts and tak
ing paint off the machine. The burns were
veiy painful being on the hands and face,
but were not serious.

William Moulter, a Mahoning township
Lawrence county, farmer, was binding a
sheaf o: oat« Monday, when a huge viper
crawled out and wrapped itself about hi>
right arm. Before he conld shake the :
snake off it sank ils fangs into his hand. <
His arm swelled almost to bursting before ,
a physician arrived. The bite is poisonous
and Moulter ma}' die.
Wild dogs have become so nnmeroa*
and destructive to the sheep of North and j
Big Beaver townships in Lawrence county, 1
that the Xew Castle gun club has accepted
an invitation to hunt and kill them. John
Xoggle a larmer of North Beaver, had an
experience with the animals that nearly
coet him his life. He was cornered by tne
pick which swarmed around him, bark ng
ajd snarling like a lot of wolves. He did
not succeed in driving them away until
they had torn almost all his clotting off.
and his hands and arms badly scratched
and torn.
Willie Cummings, the 13 year-old son i f
M Mi-Ibodist minister of Pittsburg, who has
b. eu spending the summer vacation at the
farm of J. C. Lindsey of Beaver count.",
passed through an experienco yesterday
that mill he remembered by the lad all bis
life. While alone at the farm he lost his
ball down a well, And in trying to recover
it fell in. He had presence ot mind to
lasten the well rope around his body, and
he hung in tho water for hours before dis
covered, and was unconscious when taken
out. Ttie firat thing the lad did after com
ing to was to whisper to those about his
bedside: "Say. When you got mo did you
get my ball?" He will get well.
John Foust, ot Xicktown, Cambria coun
ty, went to Homer City, Indiana county
recently to visit a sister, Mrs. It. J. Car
son Oa the first day of his visit he be
came violently insa'ie and was subsequent
ly sent to Dixmont. While rummaging
through a satchel he left at his sister's
house a paper was found by her telling of
a largo sum of money the insane man said
he had buried at Homer City. Sure
enougb, investigation developed a pack
age buried one foot under ground. It con
tained $2,332 in gold, silver and green
backs

make known the lino quality and rich

tance to get the benefit of this
unusual Dry Goods distribution—
and more will.
