Pins His Faith on Feathers.

Hazleton, Ind., Jan. 10.—During a storm which swept over this vicinity at an early hour in the morning, lightning struck the home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Rabb, west of this place, and they were thrown violently from their bed to the floor, while splinters, broken brick and fragments of mortar rained on them. The bolt tore a hole In the roof and struck the bedpost, tearing It to pieces. Mr. and Mrs. Rabb attribute their escape from injury to the fact that they were sleeping on a feather bed. “1 never fool a Mt of danger from thunder.” says I’abb. “All 1 do Is to stick to the feathers."
