Rain Followed Prayers Sea Captain Declares Of New York Fanners Cannibals Amiable i NORTH HORNELL, N. Y. il'.Hi A humorous touch in the recent disastrous drought: Farmers hereabouts gathered at the North Hornell Church to pray for rain. They raised their voices m prayer, pleading for moisture to save their crops. Nearby, Mayor Philip Rockwell and other businessmen and offis cials tried to concentrate on their work. The prayers grew louder. Mayor Rockwells nerves grew worse. Finally, the executive sent over word to the church asking them to desist from shouting, so that the regular affairs of the municipality could continue. The prayers were ended abruptly and shortly afterward rain came. ROCHESTER, N. Y. (i:.H) Cannibals are easy to get along with if one knows how to handle them, according to Capt. Edward A. Salisbury. The eaptain, who for 40 years has explored the remote corners ot the world and often has been g where tribes are a reality, visited Rochester betore embarking on another voyage.

Should they begin to squabble, It Is forgotten as soon as their attention is turned to something else. My only problem, if they begin to view me as a potential meal, Is to distract their attention." The captain also exploded the popular belie.f about the cannibals pot with the assertion that victims are' not boiled In a large pot but are cooked over hot rocks." If that is no consolation, the captain offered a bit of comfort with the statement tliat canibals do not like white men as their main dish but prefer members of au enemy tribe as a choice Giet man-eatin- CANDIDATE HALTS TRIAL AUSTIN.
