Authentic Record o4 Almost Miracu-
lous Escape From Death in an
Avalaneha in the Euro-
pean Alp*.
It seems Incredible that any human
being could sur«lve for five weeks
under a snow-drift; yet In the year
1755 three Inhabitants of the hamlet
of liergoletto. In the valley of the
I’pp.r Stura, at the foot of the Alps,
did Just thaL
Luring the winter of that year the
fall of snow was unusually heavy. On
March 10. the pariah priest, on his
way to church, heard a terrifying roar
from the mountain top. Caatlng up
hia eyes, ha saw two avalanches de-
scending toward the village. He gave
the alarm, and then ran bach Into hie
own bouse.
The avalanches burled over thirty
houses. Twenty-two persons were
missing. Including tha pariAi priest
who had given the alarm. Tha mass
of snow that lay over the ruined
dwellings wan about forty-two feet
Whoa tho surviving peasant* had
shaken oft their terror, they set about
trying to sav* whatever life or prop-
erty they could. Peasants from neigh-
boring villages cams to their assist
ancs. But they could do lit Us; the
depth of tho avalanche was so great,
and the snow continued to fall In
such quantity, that they had to wait
for the warm AprU winds to melt the
gigantic anow pile*.
On April 18 the villagers returned
to their melancholy task. They had
no hope of finding any human being
alive. One of them, named Roccia.
w hose entire family waa beneath tbe
avalanche, was most acUve In the
search. Dy April 24 be had got oo far
that, after breaking through sis feet
of icy snow, ho could touch tbe
ground with a long polo. Three
friends worked with him.
The four worked vigorously, and
made their way at length into Roc-
cta’s house, but np one, dead or living,
was there. Aa it was probable that
the victims had sought shelter In the
stable, about a hundred feet from tbe
house, Roccia and his companions be-
gan to dig in that direction. ‘After
they had burrowed for some time,
they reached tbe stable. One ot tbe
men thrust a pole through a bole In
tbe wall, and on withdrawing It, heard
a bourse, faint cry for help.
The workers now tolled with re-
doubled ncUvity, and aoon they had
made a large opening. And there, to
hla Joy, Roccia found his wife, his
daughter, and a sister-in-law. The
three sufferers could not move, and
were shrunken almost to skeletons.
Tbe men carefully carried them to a
near-by bouse, and took measures fof
reviving them. In a few days they
bad pretty well recovered.
They owed their lives to these cir-
cumstances: They had taken refuge
In tbe manger, which, being strong,
had withstood the weight of the snow,
although the roof fell in. Fortunately,
two goats were near them, and these
animals supplied them with milk
enough to keep them alive.
They had. of course, to feed the
goats. Over the manger waa a hole,
into the hay loft. Through this hole
one of the women was able to pull
down fodder Into the rack; and when
she could no longer reach the bay. tbe
sagacious animals climbed upon her
shoulders and helped themselves.
Through the whole of their five
weeks' Imprisonment they were In to-
tal darkness. After the first five or
six days, they suffered little from
hunger, although a quart ot goat's
milk had to suffice for the three.
They suffered far more from the chill
of the melted snow-water that trickled
over them, and from the cramped po-
sitions in which they had to alt and

An airy creation for the warm days
of summer Is mads of soft white hemp
braid, white and black mallns, and
trimmed with black beads and no-
mich in black. The requisite touch
of strong color appears In s bow of
twisted velvet la deep orange placed
at the front. Any of th* new vivid
colors look equally well? as cerise,
Chinese green, sapphire blue, bright
red. etc.
The bat is made on a wire frame.
A wide band of hemp is laid over the
brim and extends Into the head size,
thus covering the wider brim. The
crown Is a puff of white mallne in
several thicknesses, covered with
black mallne la two thicknesses.
At the Joining of th* brim and
crown there is a ruche of plaited
black mallne and a strand of composi-
tion beads that hava no weight to
reckon with.
Numlch Is elegant and durable; It
la also very fashionable.
This Is a very pretty model which
tbe borne milliner may hope to put
together successfully. To vary the
design flowers may be used in place
of tbe beads and feather, In which
case, If they are brlgbt In color, the
velvet bow Is to be black or la a har-
monizing color.

What He Did.
In “Little Humorists at School.* Mr.
H. J. Barker tells a story of a school
mistress who naked one of the little
girls in her claas, the daughter of a
man who was not always so sober aa
he ought to have been: "What to your
father?"
“Please, miss." was the prompt re-
ply, "when he’s working he’s a brick-
layer; but when he's out of work he'#
a teetotaler!"
Three Paroles Are Granted By Cruce.
Because of Ills extreme age and the
fact that he Is unable to pay his tine,
Governor Cruce paroled R. F. Foote,
convicted In the county court of
Comanche county of violating the pro
hibltory law and sentenced to thirty
days tn Jail and a fine of $.‘>0. Foote
is now 74 years old and is a different
type from the majority or such offend-
ers, He w.-.s highly recommended by
the officials of Comanche county
whom lie promised he would n’t urn to
(its old home In Tennessee if paroled.
Governor Cruce paroled two other of-
fenders; George McCallie of Sequoyah
county, sentenced to two years In the
reformatory for burglary, and Tom
ltrady. now serving a term In th’
state penitentiary for aiding a pris-
oner to escape front the county Jail
of Stephens county. Brady's family
is in destitute circumstances, it is
said, and his parole was recommend-
ed that lie might b> enabled to reta.n
his farm.
Two Initiative Measures
The first initiated bill resulting
directly from the failure or refusal of
the legislature to act upon a given
subject was filed with Secretary of
State lten F. Harrison. The measure
proposes a complete nnti-usury law,
and was filed hy Representative Qlasco
of McClain county, author of several
noted anti-usury and “loan shark” bills
which so far have failed of passage
in the legislature.
The mrasure took the following
numbers State question No 4$; ini-
tiative petition 5»o. 30.
Representatives Woodard. Matthews
and associates are now drafting an
initiative petition to abolish nine state
educational institutions. This will
make the second recourse to the ini
native and referendum, as a result of
the refusal of the legislature to pass
an act abolishing any educational In
stitution to eliminate the silent vote,
the people.
The third question submitted prob-
ably will be Senator Campbell Rus-
sell's proposed amendment to the con-
stitution to eliminate the silent vote.
Gypay Prophecy Fulfilled.
There is a singular incident related
of Charles I. of England. It Is tradi-
tional at Hampton Court. Hn wac
one day standing at a window o? hla
palace surrounded by his children,
when a gypsy came up and asked for
charity. Her appearance excited ridi-
cule and perhaps threats. This so eu-
taged her that she took out of her
basket a small looking-glass and pre-
sented it to tbe king. He saw in it
his own head chopped off from the
body. With a natural wish to propiti-
ate eo prophetic a beggar, some money
was given her. She then said that th*
death of a dog in that very room would
precede the restoration of tbe crown
to hts family, which the king was
abont to lose. Oliver Cromwell is sup-
posed to have slept In that room after-
ward. and be was always attended by
a faithful dog. On awakening one
morning he found the dog dead, on
which he exclaimed. In allusion to the
gypsy's prophecy: "Tbe kingdom is de-
parted from me." This shows a super-
stitious trait In Cromwell, and, strange
to say. be died soon after.
Bpi<SS ORNAMENTS THE RAGE
Seemingly Cannot Be Too Much of
Buch Ornamentation In th# Mod-
ern Homs# of tflo Woelthy.
So strong an allure have brasses
that It la small wonder that more and
more are they to be found in homes
of every degree of prosperity. Any
woman who can afford to Is certain to
keep her choicest blankets In a brass-
bound cedar chest. These boxes are
roomy affairs, and the amount of stuff
which they hold is amazing. No li-
brary or living room Is complete with-
out n four-sectioned, revolving book
rack of plain hammered or filigree
brass, no entrance ball as It should
be without Its censer of hamhwrought
Damascus brass, and no upp®r hall
properly equipped lacking an Incense
burner of the same metal. For the
desk there are ttny clocks having two
Inch dials, very clearly numbered;
calendar frames, round and oblong
pin and pen trays, memorandum pads
and bottles ot liquids of hammered or
etched brasa, and for the dining room
there are sconces, candelabra, candle-
sticks, coffee services, loving cups and
finger bowls of the beaten metal.
Brass and copper combined cornea In
various useful articles of most at-
tractive appearance. A very handsome
type of fern dish Is of brass in basket-
woven style, with copper-bound sides,
and another Is of brass, bound and
adorned with copper spikes. Most fas-
cinating are the chafing dishes of cop-
per and with brass handles and stand-
ards and the shiny little copper tea
kettles surmounting brass lamps for
alcohol.

New Cushions.
In one of the newer hotel# of New
York city there is a reception room
furnished In old blue. Some of the
chairs of white are fitted with remov-
able flat cushions, made without an
upright strip—Juat flat padded envel-
ope l ike cushions. They are of blue,
of course. They are held to the backs
of the chairs by blue silk tasseled
cords. The effect is pleasing and
can be copied by the vroman who Is
fitting up wicker chairs for summer
service. Cotton cord of an appropri-
ate color can be bought by the yard,
cut Into proper lengths and finished
with two-toned cotton tassels.
SKIN DISEASE CN FACE
Barthell, Ky.—“I bad a akin diseasn
on my face, neck and hands that tor-
mented me all tbe time and when I
would get hot the places would burn
so that I had to keep my face wet in
cold water. It began as pimples and
Indeed it was disfiguring, for it would
get In spots on my face and hands so
large as a quarter of a dollar. It would
get Into blisters sometimes and I sure
did suffer. My face burned all the
time. It was this way so bad for
about six years and I tried everything
that I could bear of, but nothing, did
any good.
‘One day I found tbe Cutlcura Soap
and Ointment advertised and ordered
some at once. I would wash my face
good with tbe Cutlcura Soap and then
apply the Cutlcura Ointment and they
bavo cured me. It would take half n
tablet to tell all I suffered in those six
years.” (Signed) Mrs. Della Hill.
