PlT'iftßctHh PA —Chairman H C Frick. who wa- -hot four times in his office Saturday by Alex. Berkman, a Homestead sympathizei, is meutallv blight and active, but he has much pain from the pistol wounds and the cut from Beiktnan's knife. The hall which p» ied around the neck alpio.-t glazed the spinal cord. That which passed out on fhe side almost touch - ed the spine. The upper cut on the right side should have penetrated the lung but for the edge of fhe ninth rib, and half an inch more deep would have carried the large lower cut into the abdominal cavity. It was legarded as astounding that thig should be true of so many wounds. Dr. Litchtield has profound admiration fot the self control and courage of his patient. He says there was scarcely any lesult from whit the medical men call "shock," no yuddtai lull of temperature or cold sweat. T his is what the doctor said to ca'lers during the afternoon: "Mr. Frick H d oing well. There is danger from the secondary effect of the wounds and/there w ill be for a week.

The terror of blackberry pickers in the South is the cheagre, popularly pro uounc.d "jigger." Probably 110 one has ever seen a cheagre save under a micro scope. and certainly he is usually invisi ble to his victims, but he can inflict mo'e discomfort, than the niostpiito, or than any one of a dozen uo.xious insects twice bis si/.e. The cheagre comes like a thief in the night. No one is conscious of his coming, and ofu-n his presence is not detected for hours after his arrival, but in due time he makes him If known. The victim is seized with an intolerable itch ing in a dozen spots at once, and scratch ing afford* only temporary relief. Pimples i»ise over the itching spots, and are soon ft rait ed raw by the cheagre's tortured victim. Meanwnile the invisible enemy keeps on burrowing and the itching cou tinu a often for days together. When it ceases, the victim has the unpleasant consciousness that all is over probably because the cheagre has died somewhere beneata the pimple. Democratic Candidate. P MiKKiisßi KC.. W.
