SS PERISHED IN THE STORM. Yerrible Fate of School Children in Dakota. Aberdeen, Dak., Jan. 30.—News has reached here that two schoc] children perished in the storm Fri- day night and that a third is not ex- pected to survive the exposure. Their names were French, and the party consisted of two little boys and an older sister aged eighteen. The French family live about 12 miles east of Hitchcock. The chi'- dren were taken to school by an older brother and promised to wait until he came for them at night. Children belonging to other families were taken home, but these refused proffered assistance, saying they would stay in the schcolhouse all night if their brother did not come. He did start, but could not make his team face the storm and gave it up. After waiting until dusk they started home, but became lost and wandered in the deep snow until ex- hausted. When found in the morn- ing the two little boys were dead. The girl was severely frozen and unconscious. If she survives she will lose the lower portion of her legs and possibly one or both arms.

Carthage, Ill, Jan. 30.—Valuable barns belonging to farmers named Piggot, living in Wythe township, Hancock county, and Beadle, living at Elderville, have been destroyed _ by fire lately. Both conflagrations were thought to be of incendiary or igin. A startling story has just come from that locality, that about thirty farmers having suspected a certain neighbor of burning the buildings, visited his home Monday night, and calling him out, placed a ‘rope around his aeck and threatened him with hanging unless a confession was forthcoming. The man coolly informed the would-be lynchers that he had nothing to confess, and said that he had only one time to die, they might proceed with their hang- ing bee. It was then decided to re lease him, and this was done. The party who was to have been the cen- tral and prominent figure in this lit- tle affair went home, secured a shot- gun and immediately returned in search of the men who had threaten- ed his life, but they had disappear- ed. Inquiries at Warsaw fail to cor- roborate the story, but it issaid that the cause of the fire is very mysteri- ous. Do You Suffer From Rheumatism Noone who has not been sufferer can have any idea of the excrutiating agony caused by rheumatism. This painful disease is trequently caused by a stop- pnge of the circulation of the blood, ~ through the muscular portions of the body. BALLARD’S SNOW LINI- iMENT will invariably cure this disease by penetrating every spot of the skin and drawing to the outer surtace all poison ous matter and restoring a uatural circu- lation ot the blood.

Denver, Col., January 30.—At Platte Canyon, a small station on the South Park Railway, near Den- ver, early yesterday morning, a small station on the South Park railway, near Denver, early yester- day morning, a young man named Johnson was buried by the caving ofawell. Rescuers went to work and succeeded in uncovering his head, over which they placed boards for the further protection of the un- fortunate man, and while making additional efforts to rescue him a second cavevoccurred, burying one of the rescuers. It was not until If o'clock last night that the first rescue was made. Johnson was stillat the bottom of the well, un- der 20 feet of earth. Two profes- sional well-diggers were telegraph- ed for at Denver, and this morning at 7 o'clock Johnson was taken out alive, but severely injured. He had been in the well in a crouched up : ion for twenty-three hours. board which had been placed ‘over his head alone saved him from sing crushed by the second cave. also gave a small breathing space. TOUCHING THE SPRING. A Pathetic Scene in the Examination Room of a Police Station. If you were a sergeant at the desk | in the Central Station you, too, would | THE STORY OF A GIANT. | Interesting Sketch of a Magnilicent Specimen of Physical Manhood. seem grim and hard-hearted to an out- | sider. They see so much crime—they see so many phases of it—they hear | the same excuses over and over until they seem to lose all faith in and all hope for those who sin. grow hardened, the well springs of mercy dry np, and you see no pity in their glances. And yet it needs buta sentiment to break through this crust. The other night a woman was brought in staggering drunk. She had a face that was pinched and drawn, and it was plain that worry and hunger made her look years older than she was. You and I would have looked into her face and said that she had some excuse for tempor y seek- ing to forget her identity. The grim old sergeant saw only an infraction of the law, and he frowned upon her as | she stood clutching the desk. Here was a living book which re- corded twenty years of worry, suffer- ing, heart-aches, poverty, woe and want, but he refused to turn the pages. He had no curiosity: he had no pity. “Name!” he sharply demanded. She gave it. “What have you got in that parcel?” “Tll never give it up!’ she ex- claimed. It was something wrapped in an old handkerchief, and she clung to it the tighter. You and I would have won- dered if it wasn’t a bit of money she had there, but the sergeant thought of poison or some other danger and ordered it handed up. It took two men to release her grasp, and when the parcel was undone, whit do you suppose they found in it? A wee lit- tle stocking, such as a child a couple of years old might wear. The big toe of the wearer had made a hole, and the heel had been worn thin, and the bright red color had faded away as the glow fades from the summer sky when the twilight comes down. The sergeant held it up—not in mockery and ridicule—but as if it were atender thing. The grimness went out of his face, a softuess replaced the frown, and as the woman bent her head and sobbed, he said: “It is a relic of her dead Poor, unfortunate mother!” “You won't take it from me?” she gasped. “Not for the world! home?” “I—I guess so. I feel stronger.” “Then go, and may all men and women be merciful to you.” The spring of mercy had been touched. As the grim old sergeant held up that faded stocking he remem- bered that he had relics at home—rel- ics of children who had danced on his knee in the sunshine of the past, but who now moldered in the dust. Not for all the money in the world would he have brought one more burden to that poor soul.— Detroit Free Press. —__--o———— —Once, said Lawrence Oliphant, I was in a Cornish mine, some hundreds of feet down in the bowels of the earth. Crawling down a ladder, and feeling the temperature was every moment getting warmer, I said to a miner who was accompanying me: ‘It is getting hot down here. How far do you think it is tothe infernal regions?” ‘I don’t know exactly,” he replied, *‘but if you let go you will be there in two min- utes.”—London Tit-Bits. — o> ——_——_ THE PARIS TUILERIES. A Monument in Honor of the Revolution to Take Its Place. There has at different times been considerable speculation as to what would be done with the ground upon which the palace of the Tuileries stood. Before it was decided that the ruined pile should be definitely removed va- rious suggestions were made, but no resolution was arrived at. Since the site was cleared of the charred walls it has been occupied by wooden struc- tures which were utilized for the general post-office, pending the com- pletion of the new building. These light and airy edifices have, in their turn, disappeared, and at the present moment their places have been taken by booths belonging to the fair, which is still in full swing. Of course this can not be prolonged for ever. The ground on which the palace stood is one of the finest situations in Paris, lying, as it does, between the Tuil- eries gardens on the one side and the Place du Carrousel and the Louvre on the other. It has more than once been suggested that a garden should be laid out on the site, thus continu- ing the pretty flower beds in front of the now vanished palace. The con- struction of a museum has been an- other out of various propositions. To- day, however, M. Lockroy, Minister of Public Instruction, announced his intention of bringing a bill before Par- liament for the laying out of a garden on this area, which is some ten acres inextent. For the present, he added, sweet simplicity would be studied as much as possible, as subsequently a portion or the whole of the site would be occupied by a monument in honor of the revolution. What form this monument is to take is not yet ex- plained, but it may safely be presumed that such an idea wil! not be carried out without exciting strong protests in various quarters—London Tele- child! Can you go Their hearts | The following history of a re- |imarkable man, which | from a sketch published in a Michi- van journal many years ago, tends to show that, notwithstanding the we compile almost universal desire for unusual gilts, it is, after all, the dead level) which is safest, since even physical strength and noble when in excess, may so ostracize and set apart aman as to make his proportions, pre-eminence a positive drawback to him. The first record we have of Charles Freeman, the subject of this sketch, s that he appeared among other ln- borers on a Western canal about the vear 1840. where his extraordinary strength and stature attracted much attention. Freeman is said to have been at that time 8 feet tall and to nexsured 3 feet across the should- have (vrs. His arms where they sprang from his chest were as large as ¢ vedium sized man’s body, and they not less than 3 inches in thickness, while the tapered down to a hand tists could only be compared tv a sledge-hammer in size and strength. His age was then 17 years, and he was still growing in bulk. He re ceived the wages of an ordinary workman, but his enormous strength made him a most destructive cone. Such a Titan should have had giant tools made on purpose for him, for whe. he seized an ordinary shove: it went through the clay like a breaking plow, and the handle soon came off if the blade held. Ax ordinary ax was but a feather in his hand; it sank to the eye in the woou and the helve splintered. He seem ed quite incapable of measuring the force laid out, like ordinary men. When he stood among a gang of laborers the contrast look like children. The strolling Indians would stare at him in amazement afew moments, and then witha deep “Ugh,” would hasten out of sight as rapidly as_ their dig uity would permit. He was put to do the work of two pairs of oxen; to remove the trunks of trees, cut in lengths of 10 or 12 feet. out of the way of the diggers. He did not drag it aside as oxen would have done, but, putting his right hand under the right end of the log, raising it from the ground, then balancing it across his left fore arm, he shot it far out to one side with all the ease that a skilled work- man piles split cordwood. And thus, day after day, the giant work- ed until the canal was finished. Freeman's next appearance was on the boats that plied along the Huron River, in Michigan, where he was at once engine and tackle to handle heavy freight. What others could not shove or roll he would pick up and carry or perhaps toss. When the heavily freighted boat stuck on the ripples he often step- ped out of the stern and pushed it over. The crew would have scarce- ly been surp.ised if he had taken both boat and cargo under his arm and marched across by land when they came to long bends in the river. It was not long after this time that some sporting men unfortunate- ly heard of this uncelebrated giant and concluded that there was “mon- ey in him.” Freeman was as sim- ple asa child. He lacked ambition, had no desire to push or exhibit himself, and possessed a most amia- le disposition. Any one could lead him, and he never appeared to real- ize that he was in any way remarka- ble. made them mined to turn his prodigious powers to their personal advantage. Accord- ingly he was persuaded to accomp ny them to the Eastern States, un- der promise of far more profitable employment. | It is not strange that in such com- fell into bad habits giants are only »: lers who captured poor Freeman made sport him as the Philistines made sport of the helpless Samson. i Itis related that at Buffalo they This innocence was taken advant- | age of by these shapers, who deter- | pany the good-natured giant soon ' Unfortunately | ,and the gamb-/} ieent him into a dock saloon with a | 1600-pound anchor under his arm, much as a chopper carries his ax, to | pawn it for drinks. He got the liq uor and the barkeeper was glad to treat him for carrying the anchor out again. The giant's new friends soon trav- eled to the sea coast and finally sailed for England. Lhey intended to get the advantage of some Eng- | lish champion, but they found that they had an elephant on their hands, A friendly sparring match, as an experiment, with a professional box- er, showed that for Freeman amatch with any living pugilist was impos- sible. The giant’s face could not be effectually reached. Blows on his body might as well have been planted on a sand-bag, while his blows were given with the force of a pile-driver, and no matter what they met, the obstacle went to the earth. By the ruse of representing him us large and strong, but wholly ig- | norant of the science, his backers finally succeeded in making a match with prize-tighter. The parties came on the ground, but at the first sight of Freeman his oppo- ent turned away saying: “I came to fight with a large man, not with a mountain.” The seconds and ref- ees thereupon declared the match fairly “off.” And now the unlucky giant be- came aware of the worthlessness of his mercenary friends. While there was a prospect that he could win fortunes for them they had lured him far away from his home and his few humble friends; but now finding that no money was to be made, they basely left him alone ‘in astrange land, without friends or resources. From Michigan to Liverpool the style of living had been entirely new to the simple and temperately-reared countryman. a noted Intemperanee, _ late hours and recklessness had under- mined his health and a pulmonary trouble was developed. His enor- mous strength soon failed him, and uncared for, and helpless, he short- ly after died of consumption. At this time probably no human being knows his resting place. During Freeman’s entire life no refining influence came near him; uo one tried to enlighten and beau- tify the mind and soul which might have fnformed and irradiated his splendid body. So perished in his prime perhaps the most magnificent specimen of physical manhood that the United States has ever pro- duced. Consumption Cured.

Ky., where his course of treatment was carefully observed. I recovered, as I thought, but the next spring pim- ples began to appear on my faceand body. These gradually increased to sores and running ulcers. I was advised to try S.S.S., and immedi- ately after taking it I commenced to improve, slowly at first, but more rapidly afterwards, and soon noth- ing remained to tell of my trouble.
