Father and son were placed on the
operating table side by side. An in

proved remarkable, and the flow was
permitted to contlnuo for two hours.

HERMIT SLYLY ROUTS
ROBBER FROM HIS HUT
Gets Intruder's Own Revolver and

"Hands Upl"
Illoomsburg, Pa. Jay Grubb, better

Ilc told of being awakened to see a
man groping about on the floor, re

burglar suspected he was awake, and
holding a revolver at his head, asked
if he were awake. Receiving a reply
In the affirmative, the burglar de

his money.
"I hnve none," was the reply.
"You're a liar, and if you don't tell
me where It is, I'll make n bloody

"It doesn't take much of a man to
call another a liar, when the man ac

KNIFE, SNAKE-BITE CURE
Veteran Reptile Hunter Says It Is Bet
ter Than Whisky to Prevent
Death.
Mountainville, X. J It takes more
than a bite from a dotted adder, one
of the most poisonous of snakes, to
upset the poise of that experienced
reptile hunter, Col. Clarke Stanley.
Whenever the colonel is bitten he
doesn't shriek for help of send a hurry
call to a doctor. Years of experience
have taught him a simpler, quicker
and more effective method.
Stanley and his men have been In
camp near Hell's mountain, which Is a
great snake country, for several
weeks, adding to bis collection of rep
tiles. Ho came here from Athol,
Mass., where he obtained several
specimens of the dotted adder. Ono
morning the colonel thought tho rep
tile was acting in a peculiar manner.
He attempted to seize It back of the
head to lift it from the cage when it
swiftly dodged and then struck at
Stanley, sinking its fangs Into his
right forearm.
The veteran dropped the snake back
Into the box and slammed down tho
cover. Then he pulled out his double
edged hunting knife, which he keeps
keen as a razor, and cut a circle of the
llesh from the spot the reptile had
struck. Then he applied an antidote
of his own composition, bound up the
wound and went to breakfast.
Stanley did not apply the traditional
whisky antidote. He says he likes an
occasional drink, but he has no faith
in its efficacy in a case of snake bite.
His arm la swollen slightly, but he
says It will be all right In a few days.
Woman deats a Burglar.
York, Pa. Mrs, Jacob Klsenhart, an
athletic young woman of this city,
captured a burglar without the aid of
a weapon of any kind. She grappled
with the man after ho had escaped
from her parents' home, where he had
rlfltd the closets of several rooms.
She threw him to tho ground and
held him there until her brother, Wil
liam Uott, came to her assistance.
Tho burglar waa then turned over to
the police.
METHOD OF SECURING
PURE WATER ON FARM
In General Duj Wells Located Nenr House or Barn Fre
quently Contain Water Unfit to use By
Prof. Edward Bartow.
Impure water Is that which con
tains substances or organisms that dis
turb the functions of our body and
cause Illness. An excess of salts, like
epsom salts, or salts of lime, are in
jurious More especially bacteria, if
present in the water, will causo dis
ease. Troubles like typhoid fever,
malaria and cholera are caused by
these germs. The malaria germ is
Introduced by certain mosquitoes; the
cholera and typhoid germs are intro
duced by drinking water. It is, there
fore, highly Important that all water
used for household purposes be as
free from foreign matter of this kind
as is possible.
Undoubtedly the purest natural
water is rain water. This has been
evaporated from seas, lakes and
streams, and from the surface of tho
earth, leaving tho soluble salts behind.
Yet, even rain water has dissolved
gases from the air, or has air itself in
solution,-and Is thus not absolutely
pure. As soon as the rain water
touches the ground it begins to dis
solve subRtances with which it comeq
In contact. Limestone, tho various
salts am other minerals are taken up

Roof- For
A roof to protect alfalfa may bo
easily and cheaply made after this
plan. Poles are uned for posts 24
feet long, set four feet In the ground.
Poles, or 2x0 pieces, 20 feet long, are
used for rafters. Thcso are covered
with boards to turn tho ruin. Hound
poles are used for braces. A light
shed of this kind must be braced in
somo way, and it Is better to brace It
from the outside than to take up the
room Inside.
A hay fork track Is suspended from
near the peak by cross braces that
fttifteu tho roof. This form of shed
leaves a clear space Inside from ono
end to the other, and It win hold a
cause the purity of the water was sus
pected. It is very rare that such a
sample is snt In unaccompanied by a
report that there are from one to five
cares of typhoid fever among the
users of the water. During 1907 the
state water survey condemned CO per
cent, of all the water sent In.
Shallow wells seem to be the most
fertile sources of disease, n3 83 per
cent, of the samples taken from wells
less than 23 feet deep and 77 per cent,
from wells between 25 and 50 feet
deep were condemned. I cannot give
the detail of the work in this article,
but in general, shallow dug wells lo
cated near the house or barn very fre
quently contained water that should
not have been used. In a general way,
drilled, driven or bored wells nro
safer than dug wells.
The accompanying illustration,
shows the superiority of driven over
dug wells. In a dug well the easing
is either etone or brick, or, as In
ono well which I noticed, tile. Such
casing allows water to seep In through
its entire depth. We all know how
water will flow Into a hole from top
to bottom, thp tile draining the earth
from some distance. A similar state

of affairs will be noticed with dug
wells. Water flowing on the surface
will flow Into the well at or near the
surface, carrying with it any dirt or
filth which may be near. In the case
of the drilled, driven or bored wells,
carefully cased, there Is no chance for
water to enter the well above the
strainer.
All water which enters such a well
must, therefore, pass through a layer
of earth in thickness equal to the dis
tance from the surface to the top of
the strainer, the earth thus serving as
a natural filter. Comparative tests
of dug wells and driven wells show
that the driven wells are usually free
from bacteria, although often carry
ing large quantities of soluble sub
stances like salt and nitrogenous com
pounds, indicating thus the polluted
origin of the water, but showing how
the water has been Microti by pas.siug
through the earth.
In some cases, also, wells pas3
through a layer of earth throush
which water will not pass. A dug
well of this kind has no advantages
over the shallow dug well as surface
water will enter. With driven, drilled
or bored wells, the water supply must
come from a considerable distance
and have a chance to become thor
oughly purified during Its passago
through tho earth. Tor this reason
the deeper wells some of which have
been analyzed In our series of farm
well waters, are shown to bo free
from bacteria.
Alfalfa

tection. It lies so loose that there
is too much loss from stacking in the
ordinary alfalfa stack. Alfalfa hay

even at considerable expense.

up from tho ground. Poles laid cross

While tho simple diet enjoined by na

tent. Neither is It kind to create in
him desires for what may bo an un
lawful indulgence. Up to the age of
three or four years give him little
meat rare beef, steak or roast, ten
der roast mutton and roast chicken.
Prohibit fried foods of all kinds, also
stews and rich soups. Broths well
skimmed will not hurt him, but he
ought not to know the taste of gravy.
Plain puddings may be a holiday lux

Ice cream in small quantities. Kipe,
fresh fruits, partaken of In modera

sweets, but these he should not eat
until after his weaning is some
months old. Make haste slowly with

machines." It depends largely upon
tho mothers of tho rising generation
to decide whether In the next century

The figures nre of bright-colored

man runs after the speeding car and
