In the suburbs to his home when he
felt the ground tremble under his
feet. This was followed by a loud
noise as a lection of rhe street caved
In, making a hole ninety feet deep
and twenty-five feet wide. Mekosh
was carried to the bottom.
Many times during hla thrilling
descent large pieces of rock grazed
his head, while several struck him,
breaking an arm and several ribs.
He fought hard to keep hla head
lear from dirt so as to prevent suf
focation. He called for help and residents or
the neighborhood rushed to the scene
with ropes.
The miner was told to fasten the
end of a rope which was lowered
about his boay. By hard work he
freed himself from the rock-and dirt,
after which he waa drawn up to
solid ground.
He fainted and was about to fall
Into the hole again when John Gar

ed him. Other men held on to Garvin
and he and Mekosh were pulled up
to safety.
The cave-In was caused by the col

A Grateful Son-ln-Law.
H. H. Rogers, on his return voy

one evening In the smoking room of
bis traveling companion, Mark
Twain:
"He Is an incorrigible humorist
Even In his most emotional moments
he can't help being funny.
"When he married In Elmlra in
1870 his father-in-law made htm a
present of a fine, well-furnished
house In Buffalo.
"The present came as a surprise.
Mark Twain knew nothing of it till,
amid a party of relatives and frlendB,
he was shown over the luxurious
place. Then, when they told him
It was his, tears filled his eyes.
"But he was still the humorist,
and turning to his father-in-law he
said, though In a voice that trembled
aWlttle:
A' 'Mr. Langdon, whenever you're

Easton (Special). Joseph Kline,
aged 6 years, sou of Mr. and Mrs.
Edgar Kline, of No. 640 Mauch
Chunk Street, South Side, was drown
ed In the reservoir of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, on Wilkea
Barre Street, this city.
Kline went to the reservoir with
William Vandyke and Harry Gorman,
each aged about 8 years, and the
three gained an entrance by crawling
through a small opening In the fence.
The Gorman and Vandyke boys tell
conflicting stories concerning the
drowning. Young Vandyke says that
Gorman was Ashing In the reservoir
and pushed Kline Into the water.
Gorman says that Vandyke gave the
Kline boy a shove which sent him
Into the reservoir. After Kline had
fallen Into the water his two com
panions hurriedly left through the
hole In the fence.
Mrs. Benjamin Pfennig saw the
Kline boy fall Into the water from
an upper window in her home, and
she called to John Evans and Edward
Smith, who were passing through the
lot In the rear of the reservoir. They
got the body, but could not resus

There Is no doubt that all books
kept for a long time in libraries and
other places become the abode of
the germ and microbe. To prevent
this a French professor has introduc
ed a method of disinfecting the
books. They are placed In an oven
under pressure In which the evap

breaking up of the aldehydes. It Is
said that all sorts of books, big and
little, can thus be disinfected without
harm to the cover, the paper or the

Hen,
Henry Blttz, of Fairfield, N. ,1., Is
grieving over the death of his old
Plymouth Rock hen, noted In the
neighborhood as the peacemaker of
his barnyard. No fighting among its
occupants was nllowed, and If any
or the young roosters tried to Indulge
In that pastime, they got a sound
thrnshlng Trom the old Plymouth
Uock.
Yesterday, however, two snapping
turtles, brought to the barnyard by
the Blttz boyj, began fighting, and
the old hen, true to her principles.
Jumped In between the belligerents
to stop them. Seeing they had a
common enemy, (he combatants both
tackled her, and It was not long be
fore each turtle had seized a leg o
old Onyx and she had been thrown
to the ground.
Blttz, who heard the hen's cries
and ran to her assistance, wns com
pelled to cut the heads off both tur
tles in order to release the old queen
of the barnyard, but she was so bad
ly hurt she was killed. N. Y. American.
Tiger's Ing Swim For Prey.
A correspondent at Pennng trans
mits details of an exciting encounter
with a tiger in that Island, a cir
cumstance which at the first blush
is somewhat curious, since tigers In
Penang are historically In the same
category as snakes in Ireland.
It was a Chinaman of Ballk I'ulau
to whom the adventure befell. He
heard an uproar In his compound
ft dawn and rising hurriedly found
a tiger creating havoc among his
pigs. He fired at the Intruder and
killed him in one shot at short range.
The animal was eight and a half
feet long and stood three feet high
at the shoulder. Investigation show
ed that the tiger had swum acrosH
from the mainland (Province Well
esley), resting midway at the leper
Island of Pulau Jerepak.
Transportation In Egypt.
It Is a curious fact that the Nile
and most of the canals In Egypt run
north and south. The wind blows
nearly all the year from the north,
and thus furnishes the cheapest pro
pelling power for boats going south.
When the boats return north the
rapid current of the Nile is the mo
tive power. The regularity of the
wind and the steadiness of the. cur
rent are two reasons why boats pro
pelled by any other power are so lit
tle used. Time is not so Important
an element in business In Egypt as
as In some other countries, and It
does not matter, therefore, that
boats propelled by wind or curr
are slow.

Tuft Stuck In Phone Booth.
George Rush, one of the electri

Company, now visiting his father
here, tells this story of Mr. Tart:
After the candidate had taken up
temporary quarters at the hotel at
Hot Springs he had to enter a tele
phone booth of the usual size, and
stuck hard and rast. A hurry call
was sent to the office of the tele
phone company and, carpenters, with
saws and hammers, extricated Mr.
Taft. The company, to avoid further
trouble and as a mark of especial
esteem for Mr. Taft, erected a new
booth which eclipses every other

Curious Mexican Indians.

uality. If you seek them you will
find them In Amatlan de los Reyes,
a village In the State of Vera Cruz,
Mexico. They are the Amatecas. Th

WONDBRKD WHY
Found the Answer Waa "Coffee."
The largest of all mammals are not
the elephants, but the whales. A
large elephant weighs about six tons,
but the largest whale reaches the Im
mense weight of 150 tons, and would
furnish four carloads of flesh mm
blubber.
Argentina still offers a splendid
field for immigration. Only 00,000,
uOO acres are cultivated, and there
remain 246,000,000 of acres suitable
for stock breeding, as well as huge
areas ot forest ani of mineral bear
ing mountains.
Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug
caffeine in coffee la the main
cause or the trouble.
"I was always very fond of coffee
and drank It every day. I never had
much flesh and often wondered why I
waE always so pale, thin aud weak.
"About five years ago my health
completely broke down and I was con
fined to my bed. My stomach was In
such condition that I could hardly
take sufficient nourishment to sus
tain life.
"During this time I was drinking
coffee, didn't think I could do with
out it
"After awhile I came to the con
clusion that coffee was hurting me,
and decided to give it up and try
Post urn. I didn't like the taste of it
at first, but when it was made right

Llllputlan Parlshee.
Probably few people know that
this country contains a number of
parishes so small that their popula
tion can be housed under one or two
roofs. For Instance, Upper Eldon,
near Stockbrldge, consists of two
houses, which with an eleventh cen
tury church and a tiny "God's acre"
In the middle of a farmyard adjoin
ing one of the dwellings, comprise
the whole parish Not much larger
is the population of Lulllngtnn, five
miles from Eastbourne. Small as Its
church Is the interior dimensions
are only 16 square reet It Is quite
large enough ror the inhabitants.
In Grove, near Lelghton Buzzard,
there are only about a dozen inhabi
tants, the parish containing a mod
ern rarmhouse. two cottages, and a
tiny church. At Rhyd, In Flintshire,
while there are only three adult In
habitants, the village contains five
cottages and one shop; till recently
there were two licensed houses, one
of which still remains. Tit-Bits.
Says Americans Are Always Talking
A newspaper controversy has be- j
gun on the subject of British and
American orntory. A Canadian cor
respondent declared that It was no-
tleeahle at the Pan-Anglican confer-1
ence how much better the Americans 1
spoke than the Englishmen, and a
British member of Parliament cor-I
robe rated this statement by declaring
that the best of the American speak- i
era at that congress were as good
as the best English speakers, and j
their general average higher.
Sir Charles Wyndham now makes
the following contribution to the de- !
bate:
"It must be remembered thnt
Americans are always talking. They
Imbibe fluency with their mothers'
milk. I do not consider, however. I
that there Is anything like the same!
proportion or really good public
speakers In America as In Engand."

ECZEMA SEEMED INCURABLE.
Body was Baw Discharged from
Hospitals as Hopeless Cuticura
Remedies Cured Him.
"Frcm the nge of three month until
fifteen yean old, my son Owen's life waa
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part of
his body was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the cose hopeless. We had him in hos
pitals four times and he was pronounced
one of the worst, cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for a cure.
Six months agx we purchased a set of
Cu(icura Remedies. The result was truly
marvelous and to-day he is perfectly cured.
