Here is a heart-to-heart talk which a I country editor, -who evidently has troubles of his own, recently gave to his delin. quent subscribers: "Good morning. Have you paid your subscription for last year? Perhaps you owe for last year,' or several years. Now, you understand, we need ; money; we have millions?to get, but it is really an imposition to let the good peo; pie go on carrying our money when we are strong and healthy; and so abundantly able to bear the burden ourselves. For this reason we ask anybody who has any - of our money in his possession to leave it at the office or send it by post, freight train, express or any other way, just so it gets here. Silver and gold are heavy, and it would be a matter of life-long regret if anybody should get bow-legged carrying it about for us." From Mother to Teacher.

Death In A Trap I . ^ What Happened When the fi Water# TLrokjt Into Hudeon UrOer Tunnel. * ^ Coo Inaw qf a foreman In the j face of HangerSacr\fice j of a Hero ? Twenty 1 Men Engulfed. 1 ~~ ? The flist branch of the great system of tunnels which are to connect New York city with the New Jersey shore under the waters of the Hudson river is at last completed. It has taken thirty years to build and has cost millions of money and many lives. Several accidents delayed the work, and for many years nothing was done. The first serious break happened at the New York end. Just outside of the Burarr. ijvzlzd hie ptbtou. second air lock a gang of mason* was at work In charge of Michael Burke. On the day of the accident leaks seemed to be more numerous than usual. Burke telephoned for George Andrews, the manager, who, after examination, suggested an Increased air pressure, but while Burke was at the phone giving the order there came an ominous creak from one of the beams overhead, giving warning that a catastrophe was. impending. The men who were picking and shoveling straightened up, but . the crash was followed by a shower of sloppy et rth and a stream of water. A terrific struggle for life began Dropping their tools, these men stum bled through the pouring water and dropping earth to the air lark, the door of which they flung open, and man after man flung himself in as be came rushing from the shadow and horror without "Shut the door!" came the frantic *xnoo wkn ttdro bflfplv in. i J Cli 11VU1 U1VI7& n uv T? V? V side. "Burke's outside," answered one who who was still sane enough to think of another. "Curse Burke! Shut the door!" was the merciless reply, bora of a terror that knew no sympathy. On the instant an effort was made by some of the men to close the door, but as they sprang toward it they faced a gleaming revolver in the steady hand of the Irish foreman outside. Id the midst of the creaking and groaning Umbers be had stopped a moment to see the men in, and then another moment to give a hand to Anderson, who in clambering through the timbers had missed his footing and fallen waist deep into the slush below. Even now, as the men were trying to close the door upon him, be was reaching one hand to Anderson as he leveled the revolver with the other. "I'll shoot the first man that tries to close the door before Anderson is in!" he called hoarsely, and, holding them at bay, he pulled the engineer up and fairly threw him into the lock. Leaping after, he turned and helped shut ^ the door to himself, and as be did so ^ the sound of a great crashing of timber and grinding of brick came from without and made plain to the little band within that where a few minutes - ? __ a i i.u 4 ' before naa Deen Deams ana one* uuu | ^ a prospective passageway for men were * now darkness and water and the might of the river as it had been since the beginning. All the men escaped ^ on this occasion. In 1880 came the great tragedy of the whole undertaking. On the west < shore the work had been pushed forward some 700 feet Only one point 1 of danger existed apparently, and that ' was where the iron roof and the wall / of the shaft came together at the in- 1 side or tunnel end of the air lock. A watch was supposed to be con- ! stantly maintained there. Leaks had been discovered, but had been quickly stopped with clay, of which there was 1 plenty in the bottom of the tunnel. On the evening in question twenty- 1 eight men went down into this shaft ] as usual, entered the air lock, remained ! there the customary length of time ai;d then went into the tunnel. They were I n charge of a foreman earned Pete: rVoodlaikL At 4:30 in the morning Home of th? a en prepared to go up for lunch. At hat time the danger point must have emained unguarded for an interval. Suddenly there was a sound like the ilowing off of steam. Woodland [prang to the spot, crying: "Back, men, and stop the leakP' But where a moment before thert lad been a hole that might have beer itopped with a pinch of clay tberc vas now a rapidly widening gap. Un ler it stood Woodland. The foul hoton! of the river was pouring in upor lim. Ooze and slime were blinding lim. He felt the water rising aboul lis feet. One step would have taken hirr ;afely into the air lock. Of all the nen he was nearest safety. He did noi nove toward it. Standing there bj he entrance, he shouted: "Quick, boys! Get into the lock!" But he did not lead the retreat Af >acli man came along be pushed, pullec md shoved him through the blinding >oze and water into the air lock. Seven men had passed him. As h< jvas helping the eighth the iron rool ilates gave way, felled the man ir he doorway and pinned the dooi igainst him. Several men inside th< lir lock grasped the prostrate uiai md tried to draw him in. He was lead and pinned fast The heavy Iron plates made It impos sible to open the door, and the man'i xxly made It impossible to close It bj i few inches. Through this narrow space water be ;an pouring from the tunnel into the lir lock. Escape had been cm: off tot Woodland and twenty men. The men in the air lock, aithoogl partially on the road to safely, wen iow in danger of drowning also, far tb< compressed air which had entered tlx ock from the tunnel made it fanpossi >le for them to open the inward swing ng door at the other end. "Take off your clothes and stop nj the doorway V* shouted Woodland, wix was now above his waist in intpl anc water. The men tn the air lock stripped themselves at his command and thrus heir clothing into the crack. The wa let still rushed in and filled the lock t< their waists. They tried again to forcx >pen the door at the other, end, but i would not yield. Then they lookec iboot them in despair. Standing outside the lock door wbkrl hey had sealed with their jfarment was Woodland, his whole mind rtvetet m the men wham be bad thus .aided .h escape.

He says that !Y has been his only medicine and has kept him 148 YEARS OF AGE. This is the most marvelous case on record, and has puzzled a great many leading physicians who have visited , Mr. Joice in behalf of science. The doctors admit that there is no doubt but DUFFY'S PURE HALT WHISKEY possesses some peculiar medicinal properties that kill all disease germs and prevent decay of the tissues and prolong life far beyond the Biblical allowance of threescore and ten. Waco, Texas, February 1, 1904.?Stephen Joice, who appeared personally before W. L. Tucker, Tax Collector of McLennan County, after being duly sworn, said he was 148 years of age. He is a well-known citizen, residing at 628 Mann St., East Waco. * 'W The representative of the News drove to " Uncle Stev's " residence, -where for forty years he has been a law giver and a prophet to his people. " I was born," he said to the reporter, " on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, near the Maryland line, and was well acquainted with the vassals of 3 Baron* Thomas Fairfax when he ruled that region. When the first Colonial Congress met at Philadelphia, I was there on a visit to my parents, being then a stout young man, accustomed to active life on both sea and land, while I . have always been a temperance man, nevertheless, I find with advancing years that a stimulant such as Paul recommended to Timothy to be good for my stomach and to prevent the infirmities of old age, and 1 always use Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which I find serves as a superb tonic and general renovator. For diet 1 prefer pork, but can eat a little beef and digest it when I take a little Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey after each meal." &1 Here the old man went to his cupboard and brought out a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and a teacup. Some people," he continued, '* put herbs in their stimulant. I take mine in half a glass of milk or water. I take no other medicine." He then fixed up his midday dose, and, replacing the bottle In the old cupboard, said, " I was born under the reign of George II, but he died before I can remember, and the first King I heard much talk about was George III. I worked < for some of the Revolutionary soldiers, and I used to hear them talk lots about George III and his tyranny. My young mistress sang 'The Star Spangled Banner' when it was first set to music, and 1 was near enough to hear the cannonading of Fort McHenry. It was about the time when the city of Washington was turned that people began to call me old man Steve." % To combat the forces of disease and preserve vigorous old age, you - - - - - - ? w. sj?irw ss^ia 'Lf-I.-.. must feed and noaruo um vkju spur* wren uiuit ? rwv mui hohhti the true elixir of life. There are nearly 4,000 men and women in America who have passed \ the century mark, and nearly every one of them owes, not only his or her - ^ long life, but health, happiness and buoyancy of spirits to this great medicine. ' * ; No other remedy can show such an army of living witnesses to its health- > * giving, life prolonging properties. - % CAUTION.?When you ask for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey be cure you get the genuine. Unscrupulous dealers, mindful of tho excellence of this preparation, will try to sell yon cheap imitations and malt whiskey s substitutes, which are put on tho market for profit only, and which, tmr from relieving the sick, are positively harmful. Demand "Duffy's" and he sure you get it. It is the only absolutely pure Malt Whiskey which contains medicinal, health-giving qualities. Duffy's Pure Malt whiskey la sold ftn~V sealed bottles only; never in bulk. Look for tho trade-mark, the 44Old Chemist," on the label, and be certain the seal over the cork is unbroken.
