?1BS 8, C,Mncd>' ?ot?s anil in arm
am' wore extraordinary
^ jCoidonts happen in real iil'e than are
Htf>ld in fiction.
BjFor example, down in San Bcrnar l
Valley, Cal., iwo playful wild
P"1 ()ff the electric lights of SevMP^^toW'ns
for nearly 48 hours, and
every ht?ne. and store, hotel and fac jjloiy
in tLe entire valley was in total
Hpthrkuess.^^ The young catamounts,
H evidently wflnle romping, chased each
1| other up a pj61| carrying the main
l| wires of the Pj jtic lighting company
JB between the pftflr house and the disttl||
tributing point D In their play the
Pal cable parted, thif circuit was broken.
| and every light went out. Both aniI
mals were killed by the shock and
their bodies lay on the ground at the
% foot of the pole when the linemen
I came to repair the break.
If One of the queerest lawsuits T evI
er heard of is pending in the courts
|L of the county?Sam Bernardino, Cmlii
fornia. Paul Schlardum bought a refill
volver from a hardware firm to comI
mit suicide. For some reason the
I weapon was defective and would not
IIP uo off. Schlardum has sued (lie com1^1
pany for damages.
Men die sometimes from exceodpg
inly queer causes. For example:
H Col. J. B. Anderson, of Colfax,
H AN ash., laughed so hard at a funny
B story told by a neighbor that he had
H an attack of apoplexy and'died wilhR
in an hour.
David Dorso, of Harrison, N. J.,
H was shaving, when n mosquito lit on
H his chin. T11 making a motion with
a the razor ?to drive the insect away he
| cut a deep gash 'in bis throat.and bled
S >fn deth within a few minutes.
Kliner Kerchoff, while carrying a
keg of beer at a picnic in Reading,
yj Penn., last summer, stumbled over a
| croquet hook. The keg went down
g with him and crushed his head so that
I he died shortly after.
While fishing from Steeplechase
H pier, Coney Island, not long ago,
Charles Lindherg of Brooklyn, X. Y?
jra suddenly disappeared, and Charles
fc Nelson, who was with him. thought he
H) was drowned. His surmise was corB^rcct.
Lindberg had fallen asleep as he
SWffbat on the pier, and, falling int9 1'1C
kflfZffiatcr. was carried out before he
rT'Lcould raise an outcry or take measwfevjires
to save himself. He had 011 a
Bffiftkavv overcoat.
?||$v Returning from a merrymaking
I^M^ith several companions, George Fo!8||jj?fl'rt.V>
?f Beverly, N. .T., met death
xflroftyhile carrying the "dare" set by one
fppf the party. Challenged to climb the
twmpraised ami of a safety gate at the
pj^JPensylvania Railroad crossing at
Cooper street. Beverly, Forgarty, who
&f was a telegraph lineman, accepted
the task. When nearing the top of
the "finger of dealth" his weight
ffi caused the wooden barrier to snap
and Forgarty was hurled to death.
A tragic fate has befallen Signor
Ik Gladetti, the famous chemist, who for
' the last 15 years has been engaged in
devising a new process of celluloid
manufacture. Signor Oladet.ti was
carrying out experiments in his labratory
with sulphuric acid and chlorum.
These he mixed in very large,
quantities, with 'the result that he
was suffocated by the voluminous
gas produced. Signor Gladotti Avas a
veteran of the Italian war of independence.
Although people sometimes die in
a peculiar manner, their lives are also
saved in a queer manner. Here is
a case in point: Dr. Marion Hartyiell,
of Noblesville, Ind., owes his life
<to a silver 'dolilar. He was met 011 the
street one day last year by James
Parrish, a farmer, who said: "You
have wronged me, and I'm going to
kill you!" Parrish drew a revolver
and fired, ihe bullet striking the dollar
in Dr. Hart/ell's pocket and flattening
out. The physician was uninjured.
The dollar was punctured and
may, when weighed, show a loss of
47 cents.
Surely the most curious present
ever given to anybody was that made
to an elderly Welsh couple in Kentucky.
John Williams and his wife
celebra-ted their golden wedding, and
among the presents received was a
tombstone with their ..names beautifully
engraved 011 it. There were
blanks for the dates.
Kidnapped 20 years ago by bis
nurse James M. Leydon* formerly a
driven* for ifche Adams Fxpretes Company
in Chicago, found his father
while standing in front of the post
office at Aurora. Leydon learned
/.& some time ago from friends at Aurojk
ra that the nnme of "Sly," by which
M he was known, was not his right
name, and satisfied that he had been
the victim of a kidnapping plot, he
'M determined to find his parents. He
^consulted the city directory of Auro-1
and tramped the streets for a week ]
J u lion lie saw an aged man enter th
postotliee. A gleam of rocog
between them, and th
older rushed towards the youth an.
;l!jor a pause inqniroil his name. Th
older Loydon then explained how h
had placed his son in the family o
ill. and Mrs. Sly of Aurora, who hn<
disappeared.
A Good Result.
^ Under the operation of the nev
1 uro I' ood Laws, baking powders nov
generally bear on the labels a state
mont of the ingredients. This is o
utmost importanee because of th
harmful ingredients used in man'
cases.
I\o\al Baking Powder is known ti
be the only baking- powder made o
Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, an.
this no doubt explains its greatly in
creased sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking' ad

When in place of the words Crear
of 1 artar the words "in'luni" "alumii

warning and avoid baking powder
