Aged Peter Bausher. of the Blue
Mountains, the Magician.
He CI-.;"T? That for One Hundred and
F.fty Years His Family Has Known
tue Pray ers tor Various Cures.
A Special Prayer for Each
Affliction.
Aged Peter Bausher lives in n rongn j
hewn log hut at tho baso of the 131uo
mountains in northern Berks county.
Pa. He is a famous powwow men. and
his services have been fri-oly given for
tho last 5i> years. Added to hin excel?
lent neighborly qualities is the fact that
hois a stDocro Christian. And yet ho
practices magic- healing. The mountain*
eers say ho has performed wonderful
euros, and for this reason hi* services
"fern in great demand. But he in too old
now to venture for from homo. In his
own way ho told this story of his lifo:
"My father could powwow. So could
his father. For 150 yonrs tho Bnushors
of my family knew the prnyors for vari?
ous cures. Powwow healing is by faith
and prayers. Wo do it nil in th? Herman
language. For each affliction there is n
special prayer. None of my prayers
heals so quick as tho one 1 use for hem?
orrhage. I have frequent ly stopped a so
lious flow of blood in a minute after
powwowing. Pains from burns 1 euro
the Baxne way. Erysipelas, wildfire, fel?
ons, lameness, sprains, poison, plague
and many other afflictions, such as wast?
ing away, fits, St. Anthony's tlancc. af?
flictions of tho nerves, quickly disappear
with powwowing.
"I use no modieino, only words, said
silently. The words I know were hand?
ed down from fnthi r to sou. They were
never written. 1 think my great-groat
grandfather handed d rwn tho words I
now use. What they w i re when he first
used them I don't know, but they have
changed, no doubt If my secret is n t
to dio with mo, I must toll my oldest
son, but he says ho will have nothing to
do with it. Of course 1 can tell n wo?
man, but, not n man. except my oldest
sen. Ma,:i toils woman, and woman tells
man. ?Ton must lie near tho person and
sou him when yon powwow for him.
"1 never made any charge in my Ufa
I (hue not. My trit t must bo given i u
tir?ly without price.
"While powwowing is till right for
certain nfnictioiiB, y. t when a person
has typhoid fever, diphtheria or any
dangerous disease liko that, then my
advico is to sind for a reputable doctor
at onco and don't bother with pow*
?trowing. Bnt there are some things
that doctors can't touch. Powwowing
can he:il and cute every time. The pa
tient. of course, must have, first of all,
tho strongest faith in the powwow, or it
won't do tiny good.
"I only try to cure people ami help
the afflicted. A person must go under
instructions. Bnt it is a common thing
to meet old women who can powwow
for burns or bloodletting. Their hits
bands told thcin how to do it. Their
cures to tho outside world would socin
very curious, not to say startling. Peo?
ple take the treatment us naturally as
they drink water and think nothing of
it, Bnt it is the mysterious, bathing af?
flictions of human lifo that powwowing
helps and enrcs. Many a person declin?
ing to the grave under a strange, un?
known spell is helped, and the et nsnm*
iug evil spirit within him is driven out
by prayer or powwow alone, mid the
sufferer is healed. Nearly all tho g< d
old powwowers uro dead."?New York

STORIES OF THE DAY.
It Wan the Old Lady's First Ride, and She
\Vu? Terribly Scarod,
On a train a short time ago 1 fell In
With n number of Texans who had been
cu a visit to the older states. The con?
versation turned np a the primitivo cus?
toms of some Beotions of the country,
when ono of tbom?an Alabaman?re?
lated the following: "Tho .soetiun of
Aiabamu from which I come is very
hilly, no uncommon thing to find hills
there hundreds of ft et high, and hence,
when tliuy built a railroad through that
section, trestles from f>U to 175 foot high
end from ?? yards to hah" a mile m
length wcro no uncommon things.
"I was taking a trip over one of these
(oads ono day, and the train had stopped
at a Email station in the pine forest,
when mi old gentleman carrying a car?
petbag aDd accompanied by an old lady
??evidently his wife?entered. They
took the first seat, the lady sitting next
the window. From the look <>f wonder
and amazement depicted on their conn
tonauces it was perfectly dear this was
their flrnt railroad trip and doubtless
thoir introduction to the iron hursa Fi?
nally the ferain started. Tho old lady
turned her gazo upon the window, and
as the train increased its speed the f.?j
and anxiety sho felt could clearly be
oeen. Juntwhen it seemed her astonish?
ment was at its grcate.-t the train ran on
to ono of thoae long, high trestles. Willi
a yoll, the old lady bounded to her feet
and clutched the buck of the scat in front
of her. There she Btood, trembling from
head' to foot, perfectly oblivious to her
surroundings and the sensation she was
creating.
Just as tho more thoughtful of her
fellow passengers were thinking of going
to her relief tho train rou off the tret tie
and on to terra firma rtgain. The old
lady still had her gaze fixed on the \\ in
dow and w:^i quick to observe the
change. With this came the relaxation of
her muscles, and a smile spread over her
fd^u The climax of the ludicrous was
reached when tho old lady remarked in
A clear und happy shout that could be
neara in everypan 01 uro cor; men.
God I She's lit again!'"?Ckicagi

Tito Hot IIa Could Do.
It was midnight ou the Bnttcry, as it
was in other parts <if tIi?- city.
Aud silence, frightened away by the
noise of the day, bud cotno again an<
was ?iiiitc its level bust to nuiku up fot

Stauding at tho most southorn point
of thu island was u man, gazing out
ovor tho sou wall into tho shadows t I
tho bay.
Thoro were liglits dancing over tin
water, but ho was not in :i dancing
humor, und ho heeded them not.
Presently a policeman observed tin
I motionless ?guro, and suspecting nil
was not right he approached tho gazor.
"What's the imttter?" bo asked in ti
voice softly modulated sons not to scar
tho mnu into jumping ovor the wall.
'? I'm from Harlem," replied tho man.
"That's protty bad," said the oQice
syinpathet ically. "Anything else wroui
with you?"
" Yes, inj* wife. "
"What has she been doing?"
" Making my life a burden. Kickiii;
when I stay out of nights. Kick it
when I stay at homa Yowing at mo i
