WERE BADLY SCARED. Students of Dubuque High School YTerrorized by Ghostly Fratwr- nity Initiations, Tied to a tombstone, lowered into 8 grave and frightened ous of their wits by what they supposed to be a ghost, four terrified high school students were seen running out of the woods on Kelly’s bluff, at Du- buque, Ia., the other morning. The cause of all this commotion was the initiation ceremonies of the P. O. E., the high school fraternity.

In his native wilds the lion is no particular hero, while the African buffalo is one of the most dangerous of the wild things. So Purvis and Clark watched. Guddenly the bull charged, but the lion sprang to one side for an in- stant, then leaped for the calf. Be- fore the beast could strike, however, the bufialo bul: had turned again and charged. The hon, on the defensive, struck at his assailant, but the blow | had no effect on the enraged creature. QGpe of the long, crue! horns caught the lion in the side and the creature, more than 400 pounds, was thrown ten feet into the air—Chicago Tribune. - me ~~ Purvis and Olark were explor | fred Lewis, James Green, Harry A WHITE FIGURE AROSE.

They were there met by a party of young men in black robes, who blindfolded them and after escorting them about the hill, through alleys and cross streets, landed them in the old cemetery. Here the mem- bers of the fraternity went through the regular ritual, after which the candidates were tied to trees and tombstones to spend the remainder of the night. ¢ of them managed to escape before his tormentors left the grounds. They gave chase and eaptured him, bound him hand and foot and dropped him into an old sunken grave, where bugs and toads creeping about him added to his terror.

Sankey, came to give the world a hymn that will live long after his voice is stilled. It was during Moody and. Sankey’s first visit to Great Britain. As they were entering the train in Glasgow, Mr. Sankey bought a copy of a penny religious paper called The Christian Age. Looking over it, his eye fell on some verses, the first two of which read thus: “There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold.” “Mr. Moody,” exclaimed Mr. Sankey, “T have found the hymn that I’ve been looking for for years.” eee cs INDIANS IN REVorn REV( JLT.

He was born in 1809 and in 1828 was appointed by John Quiney Adams at the request of Wil- liam H. Seward, a rising politician in Auburn, N. Y., and a law partner of the late millionaire, Nelson Beardsley, : brother of Reswell. Mr. Beardsle now 92 years old, has held the office continuously since that time, and re- cently celebrated the seventy-third an- ry of his appointment.

(Appointed John Quincy manding the love and respect of all who know him. Until within a few years he has always made out his quar- terly reports himself, and though now unable to perform actual labor he visits the office daily and knows what is going on. The receipts the first year were $19.53; now they are from $200 to $300. It is therefore apparent that though regarded “well to do,” if not wealthy, his money has not been made in the post office but by general store, farm- ing and other interests. He was in- vited to Washington at the last in- augural by the president—his ex- penses with two attendants to be met ~—but was then too feeble to undertake the journey.
