TRAGEDY AVERTED.

little boy was saved" writes Mrs.
W. Watkins, of Pleasant City,

sad havoc with him and a terrible
cough set in besides. Doctors
treated him, but he grew worse
every day. At length we tried
Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, and our darling
was saved. He's now sound and
well" Everybody ought to know
it's the only sure cure for coughs
colds and all lung diseases. Guar

Why Many Young Men Fall.
It is the fault and the cause of
the failure of so many bright, ca
pable young men that, being put
into a certain work-day rut, they
make no effort to climb or even
crawl out of it; they do not seek
the work that is not routine and
go beyond the terms of the bound
in search of additional labor in
order to attract the approving no
tice of their employers. They do
not 0 to their posts or remain at
them after the fixed hour. They
are content to do enough, and no
more than enough, to earn their
hire. The life of the average
clerk Is generally genteel, easy,
cleanly; ho need not soil his
hands nor his clothes and his am
bition is satisfied with these
pleasant conditions. Philadel
phia Ledger.
says a Rogers, Ark., correspon
dent of the New York Sun, has
abandoned the high altitude of
the Rockies and has bought 8000
acres of land In Northern Arkan
sas and colonized it with several
hundred followers, all of whom
believe in his manner of living.
The colonists eat no breatfast.
The men do not love their wives,
nor do the wives love their hus
bands. Living in- family groups
is a mere matter of form, it is
contended, although there have
been family squabbles caused by
jealous husbands aud wives in
this colony.
No form of auimal life must be
killed on the premises, but it is
the endeavor of the colonists to
drive away all kinds of iusects
and pests.
The laud, which was bought
only a few weeks ago, is now be
ing planted in fruit trees, and
settlers are building their homes
on the wide stretch of tho moun
tain country. ' j
According to their creed, peo
ple should live in the highest form !
of physical and mental life. This !
embraces extended periods of i
fasting, for purification of the
body and the elimination of dis- j
ease. It contemplates the nonuse
of moat, alcoholic stimulants and
tobacco. J
Conn hie says that as soon as
)iis crops begin to grow lie will I
allow do one on the premises, ex-
eept us a temporary guest, who
lives on anything but his sort of
food. No morning meal will bo
tolerated by the Conable colony,
and no cook stoves will be found
in the kitchens.
Fasting is regarded us a means
of strengthening the body among
these people. Miss lieda Benja
min, a young woman, has just
completed a fast of twenty-five
clays without any baa effect to
her body. She has muscles as
hard as an athlete and is a per
fect specimen of physical woman
hood. No physicians are allowed in
the colony. Whenever a person
is ill ho is placed under the care
of one of the health teachers,
who, by a system of cereal and
fruit products, aud by fasting or
starviug the disease, as they say,
attempts to cure die patient.
Conable allows no horses ou
the farm, and all work is done by
human hands or steam power.

When You Come to
flharnhfirshiirtf
Of Intercut lo Fishermen.
The followiug is tukea from an
exchange and may prove of inter
est to fishermen in this vicinity:
Tho game and fish law of Penn
sylvania provide that from sun
set to sunrise only eels may be
caught in the waters of this state
not inhabited by brook trout, by
means of what are known as out
lines ; each outline must have a
tag attached, with the name and
address of the owner plainly
marked thereon ; dead bait must
be used, and the linos weighted
to the bottom of the stream ; all
other fish, except eels, carp.suck
ers, and catfish taken by the out
line, must be released with as lit
tle injury as possible.
