saved the life of a dignified gentleman
waiting for a train, by palling
him from in front of a' train on
another, track. The dignified gentleman
lost all his dignity for the
moment and was much confused,
but not so much so as to forget that
something was due to the agent.
Following a grateful impulse, he
thrust his hand into his pocket, and,
drawing it forth, exclaimed:
' "Man, you've saved my life; here's
half a dollar."
"Ohr I never take payment for
a thing like that," answered Smith,
as he turned to attend to the duties

"But, man, you must; you saved
my life. Have a cigar, anyway."

"Leprosy Not So Bad," Says Jack
London.
"If it were given me to choose between
being compelled to live in Molokai
for the rest of my life, or in
| the East End of London, the East
Side of New York, or the Stock
Yards of Chicago, I would select Molokai
without debate."
Thus writes Jack London in the
Woman's Home Companion of his
visit to the Hawaiian leper colony of
Molokai. v
"In Molokai the people are happy.
I shall never forget the celebration
of the Fourth of July I witnessed
there. At six o'clock in the morning
the 'horribles' were out, dressed
fantastically, astride horses, mules
and donkeys (their own property),

tlement. Two brass bands were out
as well. Then there were the pa-u
riders, thirty or forty of them, Hawaiian
women all, superb horsewomen,
dressed gorgeously in the old, native
riding cdstume, and dashing about
in twos and threes and groups. In
the afternoon Mrs. London and 11
stood in the judges' stand and awarded
the prizes for horsemanship and (
costume to the pa-u riders. All about
were the hundreds of lepers, with '
wreaths of flowers on heads and <
necks and shoulders, looking on and ,
making merry. And always, over
the brows of hills and across the 1
grassy level stretches, appearing and <
disappearing, were the groups of ,
men and women, gaily dressed, on.

singing and laughing and riding

there came to my recollection the

once beheld some two hundred lepers,
prisoners inside four restricted

a few thousand places I know of in
this world over which I wohld select

Burned Herself for Human Sacrifice.
j Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 2.?Mrs.
Elizabeth Mosher, her mind unbalanced
by religious fanaticism,
burned herself to death at her home
in Lincoln, yesterday afternoon,
graying fervently and singing while
er body was being consumed by
the flames.
After kissing her husband and telling
him she was going to take a nap,
the woman Went to her room upstairs,
soaked her clothing in a galIon
of kerosene, lighted a match, and
ignited it. Then throwing herself

began to pray loudly and to sing
snatches of hymns. Her husband's
attention being attracted, he rushed
up-stairs to find her enveloped in
flames. She screamed to him to go
away, and continued to pray and
sing, while she was being literally
roasted alive. Mr. Mosher made a
desperate effort to extinguish the
flames, but his wife fell over dead.
Kitchens are Unnecessary.
Housewives can make electricity
serve them in many ways without installing
an expensive equipment,
says The Delineator for January.
The electric range, that must have
special wiring, is costly. But other
devices are within easier reach. They ,
are operated simply by attaching the
connection to the electric-light socket,
from which the ordinary bulb is
temporarily removed for the purpose.
Among these conveniences is
the electric flatiron maintained at
the proper temperature while mov-,
ing over the ironing-board in action;
the electric dining-room set of teakettle,
chafing-dish and coffee percolator
which will merrily cook on the
breakfast table ,the second course
while you are eating the first; and
the electric heating-pad of eiderdown
that takes the place of the hotwater
bottle. Any of these work at
~ - . i _ i
a cost of about two cents an nour. j
Beyond them there is so much that |
maybe done by electricity that it
sounds like a story of East Indian 1
magic. 1
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The annual meeting of stockholders
of the Peoples Bank was held at the office
of the bank Tuesday afternoon. The
report of the year's business showed a 1
nice profit, and a dividend of eight per
cent had previously been declared by
the directors, while a nice sum was cari
*
ried to surplus and undivided profits.
This was a fine showing for the first
year's business, as in many cases it is |
not customary for a new bank to pay a
dividend the first year. ?.
The same board of directors was reelected,
as follows: H. C. Folk, J. J. j
Simmons, G. Frank Bamberg, C. B.
Free, Jno. F. Folk, Jones A. Williams,
and N. P. Smoak. The meeting of
stockholders then adjourned.
The directors immediately held a
meeting and re-elected the old officers,
as follows: H. C. Folk, president; G.
Frank Bamberg, vice-president; W. P.
Riley, cashier; N. P. Smoak, assistant
cashier.
Death of J. D. Smoak.
Mr. J. D. Smoak, a son of the late
J. D. Smoak, died at the home of his
mother below Midway last Friday
afternoon. He was about fourteen
years old, and had been sick only a
short time. The burial took place
Sunday afternoon at the family burying
ground near Spring Branch
church, the services being attended
by a number of the friends *
and relatives. Rev. T. G. Herbert, F
pastor of Trinity Methodist church, ?
conducted the services. The young ^
man was a brother ^of Mr. Marion
Smoak, and leaves a 'number of relatives.

On the Dynamite Shipe.
There Is a service whose conditions
are little known to the outside world,
that of the men on the dynamite ships
that lurk in the shadow of Canvey island.
It once happened that a cargo
boat took fire near Canvey Island. The
crew could not extinguish the flames,
the vessel had to bi abandoned, and
the tide carried her straight for the
dynamite ships. By a miracle the
blazing hulk steered safely between
them. But the tide turned, and with
it back again she came. Another miracle
and the floating Inferno missed
them all a second time. A spark from
her blazing timbers, the least shock
from a collision and she bad exploded
such a mine as would have blown the
half of Essex into Ireland. She floated.

state. Near her home there was no
river nor, in fact any water but the
