GIRL CRIPPLE DROPS
CRUTCH AFTER DREAM
Helpless For Two Years, She
Suddenly Begins Walking.
New Yort.?Impressed by a vivid
dream in which she saw herself throw
away her crutches, Helen K. Scott,
paralyzed since 1012 and described by
specialists to be hopelessly crippled,
walked to school from her home. She
expressed a desire to enter the gymnasium
class Immediately, but her parents
objected.
In January of 1912 Miss Scott, who
is fourteen years old. returned from
Sunday school and complained of her
legs hurting her. In u few days she
was unable to walk and was pronounced
a hopeless cripple, suffering
from infantile paralysis. The family
Immediately called specialists, but all
shook their heads and stated they
could do nothing for the child. For
months Miss Scott was wheeled about
her home in a chair and was often
called "the sunshine of the neighborhood."
Her school classmates had aided in
caring for her and had taken turns in

Christmas her parents tendered a party
to her girl friends. She attended
it on crutches, which she had learned
to use. That night the girls united
In wishing her better health and the
recovery of the use of her legs. The
next morning Mrs. Scott was told by
her daughter that she had a dream
thnt she could walk.
For several days she talked of the
dream to her family and friends. One
night soon afterward Mrs. Seott heard
a noise In the room occupied by the
cripple and. runnlug upstairs, was surprised
to find her daughter standing
alone. In one corner of the room lay
the discarded crutches. Miss Scott wns

finally regained strength enough to
venture into the street.
Finally she walked quite a little distance
from her home to the Teachers'
training school of Jamaicn. where she

A Preliminary Test
of Skill
By MARK HAMMERTON
=============== I
"1 vlll pig stick you!"
The words were addressed to me by
t lieuteuaut iu the German urmy. He
was very youug, his beard Just sprouting.
and since there hud been no war
between Germany and any other power
since loug before he was born he
had had no way of letting off his surplus
vim. We were In u beer garden,
and he had been sitting at a table near
one at which i sat with a purty of
American frieuds.
Getting up from his table, be walked
past us, and. my foot being in his way.
* - * 1" ??* 1.1,, o rrn Incf tr |
ne COOK piUUM tu niuuiuir ...
Then, glaring down at me, be said in
English: *
"I vill pig stick you!"
"What does the fellow mean?"
"You've been challenged to fight a
duel." said Washburn, an attache at
the American legation. He had lived
in Berlin a number of years and knew
the ways or the inhabitants.
"He can send all the challenges be
pleases." 1 said. "I'll pay no attention
to them."
"In that case." Washburn replied,
"you must give up the social staud you
have prepared to take In Berlin. I
shouldn't like to put you forward as I
have promised unless you either fight
young Donhoff. whom everybody
knows and who Is on intimate terms
with the Imperial family, or find some
way out of the matter."
"What way out of the matter Is
there?"
"I'll think it over. I've helped several
Americans out of such scrapes
By the bye. 1 think I'll try the plan by
which 1 saved AJbertson from getting
a sword thrust l>etweeu his ribs."
"What plnn?"
"I didn't explain It till the affair was
settled, nor will I tell you. Put your
self in ni.v hands, ask no questions, nnd
I think 1 can bring you out of this with
honor, probably with eclat."
I assented, and he took a message
from me to F)nnhoff. I was fcu A titerfeai^
and Americans did It tight
due*. However}*! was willing to fight
under certain conditions, or. rnther. I
would prove myself more skillful than
he. We would (Ire at a hen's egg a(
twenty paces. If he hit the egg oftener
than 1. I would stand up and permit
him to shoot at me as long as be liked
If I hit the ecu more times than he. he
was to submit himself as a target for
me.
The hot headed youngster accepted
the conditions. Indeed, he was rather
pleased at the novelty of the plan
Washburn arranged for a test of skill
in a fencing academy and brought a
basket of eggs to the place, which were
to serve as targets. The affair being
an unusual one. none of the safeguards
common in duel preliminaries were
taken Washburn fixed the target, suspending
the egg by a thread. Donhoff
nnd I tossed for order ?>f trinl. and 1
won. Each principal was to deliver
five shots, and the one who shattered
more eggs than the other won
The day before the test I could
scarcely hit a hum door. hut I practiced
sufficiently to hit uii egg at least
once In five shots On the trial I *|??ttered
the contents twice Oonhoff. who
like nil tiermnn army officers was a
good marksman. looked upon m.v work
with evident contempt I missed the
first and second shots, unci its soon as
I had done so he seemed to lose all in
terest in the contest. He had doubtless
made a previous trial and, discovered
he could lilt the egg every time.
I had been Instructed by Washburn
that when I beat DonhotT-and Washhum
assured me that if his plan
worked I would?I was immediately to
renounce my right to make a target
of him Washburn hung an egg for
htm. He fired somewhat carelessly and
missed. He was surprised especially at
seeing the egg vibrating from the wind
of the ball. He fired a second shot, this
time aiming carefully. Again he miss
ed. and again the egg danced. If now
he hit the egg at every remaining shot
he could still beat me. Though he took
a long time to aim before the third
shot, he missed it.
He could now only tie me. But he
had become so irritated with himself
tnar ne was nor at pa me or aoinp as
pood work as before. He missed the
fourth and fifth shots, the epp at each
successive shot vibratinp less. IndicatInp
that his aim had prown less accurate.
On missinp the fifth shot he
threw his pistol down with an oath.
Washburn shot me a plance, and I
cried. "I renounce tho ripht 1 have
won!" and. hastenlnp to Donboff, put
out my hand. He took It, rautterinp
Imprecations on himself for hnvinp
been so clumsy. Then he and his party
thanked me for my magnanimity and
left the academy
"By Jove!" exclaimed Washburn
sinking into a chair, "if those fellows
bnd exercised one-tenth the ?*are ilu-v
would have taken In :m ordinary duel
[ would have luid to leave Berlin "
"What do you mean?" I n?k?"l
"Yon fired nt u solid esy. DnnlioU ; t

contents No hnll will nit an empty
eggshell The wind will drive It aside
every time "
We haul'won by a Ynnkee trl<k l?tit
since It whs merely to avoid tdood
spilling our consciences did riot trouble
us. I entered Berlin society under
Washburn's wine with great eclat I
feared that I would be called ii|h>ii to
maintain my chnmpiousblp, but was
let severely alone.

Inaccuracy and Impracticability Are
Chief Charges.
St Paul.-"Our common and high
schools are dismal failures. Accuracy
Is not taught in the schools, and accuracy
is the main essential to success,"
said J&mes J. Hill tit'the anndai banquet
of the Northwestern Yale Alum- I
ni association. Continuing be said:
"The time must come when public (
educational institutions must be more
practical. My first public advice to all
schools would be to simplify the curriculum
by separating all 'facts that ,
are so' from 'facts that are not so.'"
All Out.
A young preacher persuaded a fellow
student to listen while he rebeursed a !
sermou. His subject was "Light." j
With a violent gesture with the right
arm he said. "Blot out the sun!" With
a similarly fruntie movement of the
left arm he roared. "Blot out the
moon!" Then, with a combined gesture.
made up of both arms, he bellowed
"Blot out tlie stars!" But it was
enough. Tbe uuditor urose to leave, j
with a hoarse, cruel whisper. "Turn off
the gas!"?Uaptist Standard.
Cleaning the Rug.
All genuine oriental rugs and many
of domestic make can be washed with
soap und water. The method most
successful is to take a thick suds and
apply it with a heavy cloth, wrung
almost dry in It. The cloth should
be rubbed in the direction of the nap
of the rug. and after all grease spots
and other dirt have disappeared the
whole surface of the rug should be
sponged until all trace of soap Is gone |
witb a cloth wrung out of clear water.
Tbe rug must be left to dry wbere It
is cleaned, flat on the door.

From the State
of Utah
By F. A. MITCHEL
M. Me Gournny. a citizen ?f Parts,
was sitting in Ills club reading a news
jiaper when u young tuun approached
him and said:
"Monsieur, pardon me for Interrupt
ing your reading, but I have a request
to make of you. 1 am a citizen of the |
United States?Utah Is where 1 hall ?
from?and I have made a fortune In
cattle, mines, merchandising? in short
by every means except selling liquor
over the bar. 1 came here to see Ktirope.
At tirst everything seemed old 1
fashioned, but In time I got used to '
your ways, and now I like them tirst
rate, even to the way you commit
matrimony."
De Gournny looked up at the speaker
as he would at a curious kind of ant
mal in n menagerie. The American
proceeded:
"When we on the other side of the
big salt lake make up our minds to do
a thing in any other way than our own '
we never try to mix the two methods <
I have a proposition to make, and I'm
going to make It on the French plan
The other night at the American embassy
I met one of your daughters. I
have concluded to make you a prop
osltlon for her band."
Whatever were De Gournay's feel- !
lngs at this blunt announcement be did .
not give way to them. He stared nt
the speaker In n sort or wonaer ror
awhile, then said wltn French suavity:
"And you consider, monsieur, thn.
you have ndopted our method of opening
a matrimonial negotiation?'
"I will admit that there Is an Amer
lean flavor to It?I mean a Rocky
mountain aroma."
"Decidedly." said the Frenchman In ,
well modulated tones, while he kept
his eyes flxed on his Interviewer, evidently
studying him.
Jack Henderson's face bespoke that
free, uncultured frankness Indigenous ]
to a new country. There was not a
diplomatic feature, not a trace of meanness.

But the Frenchman's exterior did
not corres|)ond with his Interior. Every
American abroad is supposed to be 1

has been said, had Ave maidens to ]
marry off. While looking with one eye j
at his newspaper ho was wntching the |
American's retreating figure with the ! (
other, and Inter, when he saw Jack J
leave the club, he arose from his seat,
threw off his assumed Indifference and
started out on a still hunt to find out '
all he could learn about the suitor. '
Two things he learned were eminently
satisfactory-Henderson had made a i
large fortune, and his character was i
excellent Nothing detrimental turned i
up. After a lot of red tape, as Hen- ,
derson called It. he was permitted to j
