VOICES RESTORED. AS FRIENDS PRAY Religious Revival in South Caro lina Scene of Remarkable Episode. $HOUTS IN JOY AND SINGS Speechless for Three Years Man Finds Voice Suddenly Restored-Men Make Affidavit to Strarge Cure at Baptist Re. vival Services. Charleston, S. -C.-Thomas Drayton Poore of Oconee county, who gradual. ly, lost his voice and had not been able to utter an articulate sound for three years, has recovered in an in stant, it is said, the full power of speech while hundreds looked on and prayed. Poore is a well-to-do planter and real estate operator. He has been for many years a leading member of the Baptist church in Westminster, and his word, his neighbors unite in saying, is thoroughly trustworthy. Mr. Poore early in 1908 began to be troubled with neryous symptoms. They rapidly progressed, and in Feb ruary of that year his voice began to fail. He had been a public speaker, and for many years had been accus. tomed to sing in the church, his tones being unusually strong and clear. None of the physicians summoned was able to stop the malady, which it was decided was due to a rare type of nervous indigestion. By December, 1908. Mr. Poore's voice was so nearly gone that on the 18th of that month he could no longer even whisper. A day or so later even the medical attendants 'gave the case up as hopeless. Several weeks ago revival services were inaugurated in the Westminster Baptist church under the leadership of'the Rev. S. E. Stephens, a returned missionary. The ineetings proved full of religious fervor from the start, and ae ASu J - nv awitn Sht ofiso brethrenan tos eson the cmmuity wa nt he might of ane olfsioed. aaeingl.ter moe asghtehen teeteant ath he -revival seemed to be less than emisul, there was slot, at least so much oudl singing and praying, though it is }Maid it was remarked at the 'time there ' ias deeper and more interme feeling Mhan before. The revivalist requested those pres 4' nt to send to him, written .out on lips of 'paper, the Things they most argently idesired. "It may be the wvin -of Provide'nce to gestore your speech -to you art this ime," said an elder e/f the chovech to Poore. ''Thel atter aceordingiy wrote out a 4request to tbiat effect and passed lit up tthe pastor. *At the aame time he 4.made known tihe substanc~e of his mecs s'fage to those around him and all 'oined with the- minister in praying kn his behalf. Then there was a brief interval of gilent prayer, on 'the part of the entire audience. Everyt~hing was stilli in the church when Planter Poore stood up, gave a shout of joy and began to sing. The others in the .church stared in wonder, then in awe. Then, with one accord, they rose and joined Poore in singing "Nearer My God to Thee." These who were there say the con gregation nearly went wild wvith ex citement, some of them running out with the cry "a miracle! a miracle!" Poore ran to the pulpit and pouredl out his thanks for the restoration of his voice. The news spread and by the next morning people were flocking into W~estminster from pretty much all over Oconcee county. Affidavits tell ing of the circumstances under which the planter found his voice have been made and are now a part of the pub tic records. Whale Found in River.

CHASED BY PACK OF FIERCE WOLVES COLORADO RANCHER HAS EXCIT ING EXPERIENCE WITH VICIOUS ANIMALS. Tie Siding, Wyo.-Chased by a pack of hungry, vicious wolves down through Cedar canyon, and saved by the presence of a homesteader with a good team of horses, was the experi ence of Al ilInton, a rancher living Just across the state line in Colorado. Hilton's arms, legs and body bear the marks of the animals' fangs, and he Is confined'to his bed under the care of a surgeon. Hilton was out searching for a bunch of cattle which had strayed into the mountains. He carried a double-barreled shotgun, but had only one round of ammunition. "Late in the afternoon," he says, "I gave up and turned back. I had gone but a short distance when I heard the howling of wolves. I hurried through "The Wolves Soon Caught Up With Us."p the underbrush, but the pack gained on me. I turned and fired, when they came -in sight, and killed the leader. Blut this did not stop them, and after a1 sprint .of !anot her 100 yards or so I fired .again, .killing t wo of the beasts.

For several yea-re my scalp was very bad ly affected with dandruff and scales. My scalp itched terribly at times and my hair fell out. My coat coTlar would 'be actually white with the .dandruff that had fallen from my bead. My profession being that of :a :barber, I was particular about hav-ng 'my hair in good condition, and was lalso in a position to try many lotiorns, etc., for the scalp. Theffe had little 'or no ef fect. 'I had heard so mnndh about the Citicura Remedies that I resolved to try them. I shampooed imy head with 'Cuticura Soap twice -a -week and afte'r drying my head 'thoroughly, I anointed parts of my scaip 'with Cuti cutra Ointment. I was ipleased from Ihe -outset, and continuedi to keep up this treatment.

Manager Gus Hartz was standing near the opera house box office when one of two panhandlers who had en tered the lobby approached him, and, holding out an addressed and sealed envelope, begged for the price of a postage stamp. "It's for me mudder, boss," he sniv eled. "You'se wouldn't turn down er guy for do price er do stamp, would youse?" "Never," said the manager, deftly grasping the envelope and throwing it through the box office window. "Here, Fred," adressing himself to Treas urer Fred Coan, "stamp this and have it mailed." The velocity of the proceeding fair ly took the panhandler's breath away. 'rhen, backing away to where his )art nor awaited him, he whispered: "Noth in' doing, bo-the guy's wise."-Cleve land Leader. The Impossible. Andrew Carnegie, at a recent din ner in New York, said of a certain labor trouble: "It is silly of employers to pretend in these troubles that they are always In the right. Employers are often In the wrong; often unreasonable. They often-like Mrs. Smith-Jones ask impossible things: "Mrs. Smith-Jones, taking a villa at Palm Reach, engaged for a butler a stately old colored deacon. "'Now, Clay,' she said to the old fellow, 'there are two things I must insist upon-truthfulness and obedi ence.' "'Yes, madam,' the venerable serv ant answered, 'and when yo' bids me tell yo' guests yo's out when yo's in, which shall it be, madam?'" The IMost Beautiful Thing. A vrewapaper recently invited Its reades to state in a few words what they considered the most beautiful thing In the world. The first prize was a-warded to the sender of the an swer: "The eyes of my mother." "The dream of that which we know to be impossible" suggested an imaginative person, and this brought him second prize.
