Harold Dickson, driving an ex press wagon along Walnut street In Montclair, N. J., saw a little boy lying on the bank of Toney's creek with hla face in tin water. Dickson thought tho boy was play ing, but when he did not move Dick son jumped from his wagon and picked up the child. Ho proved to be Gerald H. Floss, four-year-old son of William G. Floss of Montclair. The boy was alive, but in the mid dle of the lad'H forehead was a wound. Dickson probed a Httlo, and finding that It was, only a ilosh wound set nbout reviving tho boy. Dy working the child's nrms and roll ing him ho restored Gerald to con sciousness. As Dickson was about to ask him his name the child fore stalled him. "Where Is my ducky?" the youngs ter demanded. Then ho explained. Gerald had a pet duck, of whoso ability to swim he knew nothing. The duck and ho were out walking along tho banks of the creek when the duck made for tho water. Gerald thought sure that his pet would drown and ho man fully started to rescue It. As ho ran toward the water ho stumbled and his forehead struck a snag. While he lay there unconscious tno duck, unmindful of Its master's efforts in Us behalf, was swimming around, just as any healthy fluck should swim. Dickson caught the duck and took it and its master homo to tho boy's mother. 1 - 4-f ----- 4 f t NKWSPAPKR HOIOlt. f X It Is easier for n politician to toll what will happen to the next admin- latrntlon hill than to foretell wllnt 1 will hnppen Jo him If he votes for'K.

In a recent issue of the Sports man's Review, a San Francisco writ er tolls this story: Queer things often happen in the great bird world. More than three years ago a farmer living In Shasta county, California, set out a number of small steel traps to catch gophers that were playing havoc with his carrot crops. One day while look ing after these traps, the rancher chanced to see a very big yellow hawk swoop down on one of the traps. Tne bird was caught sure .enough, and while It was struggling to free llselt froln the trap Ule slen. der wire chain was torn from the fastening nnd away the hawk Hew, carrying with it the trap and chain, both dangling to the left foot. The farmer Just considered that-i he had lost both his trap and chain, and gave no further thought to the little incident. However, very re-' cently a farmer living In Sacrnmen- 1 lG county. :;.ore than 200 miles trom i wiit-ie the rancher had lost his trap, shot and killed a very large vellow hawk recently that was after some of his chickens. Securely attached to this hawk's left leg was a No. 3 steel trap and more than a yard of small chain. Beyond all doubt this was the very same bird that had car ried off the other rancher's trap three years before. All around the sharp teeth of tho trap a large fleshy callous place had grown, making quite a big lump. This excrescence had rendered the hawk's left talon perfectly helpless and useless In capturing its prey. But with all the painful suffer ings of the bird through tnree years, and Its crippled condition, this hawk had managed to secure its prey, and live about the same as any other predatory feathered creature. The farmer had doubtless performed nn net of mercy in placing the bird out of its sufferings. YAWNING. Its Effect Upon the Respiratory Organs and Upon the Heart. Dr. Erail Bunzl of Vienna, Austria, In speaking of diseases of the throat and remedies, snld that ynwulng had Us great value. Yawning has recently beeii recommended Independently as a valuable exercise for the respira tory organs. "According to Dr. Nuegll of the Uni versity of Luettlch," said Dr. Bunzl, "ynwulug brings all the respiratory muscles of the chest and throat into action and Is, therefore, tho best and most natural means of strengthening them. Ho udvlses everybody to yawn as deeply as possible, with arms out stretched, In order to change complete ly the nlr In tho lungs and stimulate respiration. In many cases ho has found the practice to relievo the dllll culty In swallowing nnd disturbance of the senso of hearing that accompa ny catarrh of the throat. Tho patient Is induced to yawn through suggestion, Imitation of a preliminary exercise lit deep breathing. "Each treatment consists of from six to eight yawns, each followed by the operation of swallowing. It should be added, however, that It la quite possi ble for deep breathlug to be overdone, particularly by persona with weak hearts, nnd It Is at least open to ques tion whether tho obstacles to free res piration which tho yawning cure Is alleged to remove are not useful Jn preventing tho entrance of germs and other foreign bodies."

But If the attorney general Is successful In his efforts to stop tho fight here the fighters will be brought together In Utah or Nevada, nlthough the dnte will probably be changed. Salt Lake, Utah, and Reno and Ely, Nov., nro talked of by promoter "Tex" Illckard ns possible places for the fight. In his letter to the attorney genernl tho governor snld: "The first session of the legislature held In this state In the year 1850 en acted a law making it a felony foi two persons to fight each other upon n previous agreement upon n wager for money, or any other reward. This lnw has been amended from time to time but never so ns to make prizefighting lawful. "Our people have the right to de mand that prizefighting shall cease GOVERNOR GILLETT. In this state, and It will If our present laws are enforced, esiecially If the courts follow our decisions of the su preme courts of our sister states In defining a prizefight. "To show that the so. called 'spar ring exhibitions' held In this stnte uu der the auspices of Incorivorated nth letlc clubs have not been sparring ex hibitions, but prizefights, I need but refer you to the Hies of our dally newspapers. I will call your attention to two or three of the recent ones. First, the Moran-McCarthy light. The Oakland Tribune in Its Issue of April 30, in reporting it, uses this language. "'After the sixteenth round had gone some fifty seconds Moran lauded a blow on MeCnrthy'n Jaw. It did not look to be a heavy punch, but the youug fighter went over backward, his head 'seemingly dropping below, as though his neck hud been Injured, nnd as he struck tho floor the sound of the Impact could be heard throughout the pavilion. McCarthy died. "Next the Wolgast-Nelsou light took place on Washington's birthday. It seems that prizefighters always want to tight on Washington's birthday, Decoration day and Indeieiidencc day. It was reported In all the dally papers of the stuto by rounds. I quote from tho Han Francisco Chronicle of Feb. 23: "'Round 30. Wolgast appeared loth to put lu the finishing punch. Ho Jab bed Incessantly nt the Battler's anat omy, and again tho blood flowed In n stream. Wolgast almost sent Nelson to the floor, lauding blow after blow on the defenseless champion's fuce.' " Governor Gillett Is said to have de termined to stop the prizefight be cause ho feared that tho contest in San Francisco on IndeiKmdoneo day would create the Impression tlint the Golden Gate City was an unlit place for the holding of the proposed Panama expo sition.

Desirous of knowing something of tho lunutlc nsy Iums from within, with tho object of ameliorating tho lot of tho Insane, ho presented himself at the gates of tho Cluinrosa asylum and asked for nn audience of the king of Italy.

After that they held a consultation In the presence of the "lunatic," whoso bona fides they evidently suspected, nnd bru tally but unanimously agreed tjint the only treatment in such a case was tre panning for n cancer on the brain. By this tlmo Slgnor Tommaso Gllonl thought tho best ho could do was to confess. This ho did nnd found him self at the police station. The magis trate, however, released him, observ ing tlint ho thought tho doctors had administered sulllcleut punishment. The Only Way. ner I've suffered In every jwsslble way sluco I married you.

Just before the capture Nathan Tow er, who was at work In a Held, heard somebody yell to him from the edge of tho woods, and lu nn opeulug Tower suw Phelps leaning against one of the trees. Tho murderer cried faintly: "For God's snko, Nate, get tno some water. I am choking with thirst." Nate ran to a nearby field, where the murderer's brother, S. R. Phelps, wns at work. The brother, although he did not see the outlaw, heard htm calling for water. Word was sent to State Olllcer Crittenden, who gathered sixteen sharpshooters from the mili tiamen and started for the place where Silas Phelps was hiding. Tho men secreted themselves In the bushes for nbout half au hour before Silas Phelps was again henrd. ThU time he iraarked, "Nate, when in h nm I going to get tlint water r State OHlcer Crittenden then circled the siot with his men, who brought their guns to bear on the bushes, and gave orders to shoot to kill If he made any attempt to fight. Then Shea volunteered to enter the thicket nnd attempt to capture Phelps. Handing his gun to nuother man, Shea entered the bushes and found Phelps crouched in a little spruce nbout three feet wide.

In the new part of tho town, the so called American quarter, a neat sign of "Pension" nttractcd tho women, and they engaged board there. According to the German custom, they paid the boarding house charges a month in advance. Two days afterward tht landludy went to a hospital, and the next day tho domestic girl of nil work took her departure. Food nnd service censed, and tho host, a count, moved into tho attic for some reason un known to tho Americans. The Americans protested that theli mouey should bo refunded or they should hnvo food and service. The host told them ho could supply nclthci us ho hud no money. The women con sulted their friends and were advised to niako the best of the bargain and camp out for the rest of tho mouth. Some days later tho host appeared in their rooms nnd proceeded to re move tho curtains from tho windows. Tho women appealed to au American who happened to bo calling, but the only result of his Interference was a scuffle with the landlord, who knocked him out with a bunch of heavy keys. Two of tho women then sought po llco aid nt tho nearest station, n mile awny. Tho officials laughed at them, telling them It was a prlvato matter and no concern of theirs. In the meantime tho landlord return ed with two men aud took down the curtains, Informing tho women that he would bo back at C o'clock tho next morning to removo tho furniture. Tho women then sought tho aid of tho American consul general, who advised them to inovo out' quietly nud offered them hospitality for tho night.
