Youth to Suffer Blindness
San 1'ran* isco, March 28.?Percy
Hays, 17. of Stockton. Calif., probably
will lose the sight of both eyes as
result of being clawed by a bear in
Golden State park hcie yesterday.
Hays, with three other youths, came
I to San Francisco on a week-end trip,
and visited the bear pits at Golden
(late park. While feeding sugar
ctiht s to the animals, one of the cubes
fell between the cage and guard rails
outride. Disregarding warning signs,
young Hays climbed over the rails to
retrieve the sugar.
One of the bears reached through
the burs, incircled Hays with one paw,
holding him against the bars, and
with the other forepaw clawed tlie*
boy's fate, shoulders and arms.
Hays' companion* finally secured
ic'ease of the screaming youth by
i hitting the bear with sticks and
tones. Hays was rushed to the
' emergency hospital where it was
found one eye had been torn out and
the other badly rut. His face,
shoulders and ai ms were cruelly laccrated.

Birds Occupy Nest Boxes Promptly ,
Persons desiring to attract birds!
often wonder how promptly results
may be expected. Kxperience of the
Biological Survey of the Department
of Agriculture with bird boxes at the
experimental farm at" Bell Station,
Glenn Dale, Md., indicates that even
the first season's achievement in this
direction may be entirely satisfactory.
Forty-seven bird boxes of various
types were erected at the station in
March last year, and during the
course of the summer there were
reared in them part or all of ten
broods of house wfens, four of bluebirds,
and three of purple martins.
The broods were all produced on a
tract of five acres on which there
were also twenty-five or more nests
of tree-inhabititing birds. The population
of birds on the area is already
four times greater than is normal to
territory unimproved for birds. The
Department of Agriculture has a
bulletin "Homes for Birds" that will
be sent to anyone free upon request.
Firecracker Showed Him Up * T
George Abbott, 10, solicited alms on
the streets of Macon, Ga., by passing
out cauls stating that he was deaf and
dumb. Police were inquisitive and
took him to the station for question- '
iug. While writing his answers, a
large firecracker was exploded under
his chair. He jumped to his feet with
a yell, his deafness and dumbness
gone.

"teat of miml and soul" worked for
live months haV(. hi?, diMh
lie hank viee presidency and
succeeded this month.
He claims the hank president
used him of .embezzling money beto
the bank and "boating" a
man out of six or seven hundred dold"
fraud in k" 1,1 Ur by ch"l""<
TheI defendant, it is alleged, charged
hat his brother was of a "dissolute
licentious, sensual and lascivious
character and habits." He is also
charged with accusing C. C. Myers of
being intimate with other womc.i
than his wife. ,

As a consequence to these remarks!
z r,fe- T ,v?wrought ^
ocked in her nervous system" that!
-ic sustained serious injuries, the
complaint states.
u/'?1: T' L* KirkPatrick and B. G
\ atkins represented C. C. Myers, who
claimed that the alleged statements to
nis wife caused him lasting damage
because he was "humiliated and disgraced
m the eyes, trust and confidence
of his wife and family."
The plaintiff, who has two children,
states he has been in the banking

arks for $50,000 punitive and $50,000
| actual damages.
When asked for a statement Mr.
: A. G. Myers said:
"I am not informed as to the de'
tails of the complaint made, and
therefore am not in position to "discuss
same, but would say that just a little
while back C. C. Myers was requested
to tender his resignation to the
bank on account of some embarrass-1
ing feature arisirpy in connection with
numerous personal accounts made on
the outside with customers and others
which were not given the usual business
attention. Some of these accounts
were long standing and were
being handled by attorneys.
"The bank does not maintain in its
employ a Tnnf? who is lax in these
matters. .No other or more serious
charge has been made.
"The suit is probably brought in a
spirit of retaliation.
"Personally 1 regret the bringing
of such an action but feel there is no
just cause for same."?Charlotte Observer.

WAS DOWN IN BEO !
WITH LUMBAGO;
Went back U? work after three
days of home treatment
C. L. Normandy, a civil engineer living
ut 231 West 9th Street, St. Paul,
Minn., was taken with an attack of
lumbago and for one week could not
move in his bed.
"A friend told mc to use Sloan's
Liniment and I got a bottle. After
using it atne day, I was able to walk
about thg houue. After threu days i
was ablefo go to Work, and now I am
as well a* cv*6r. I would not be without
Sloan's Liniment if it cost $5.00 a
bottle. It is a sick man's friend."
The reason that Sloan's gives such
remarkable relief is that it gets right
at the cause of the pain. It stimulates
the circulation throughout the placp
where the pain is, and clears out the
germs that are causing it.
Right away you feel relief. The pain
stops, and soon you are fit as ever,
(let a bottle today and have it on
hand. All druggists?35 cents.
