CHARMED LIFE.
WOMAN’S WONDERFUL ESCAPES A "Sunday Express’ correspondent at Bracknell, Berkshire, says: "I have met the woman who cannot be killed. On three occasions in her life she should, by every natural law have been killed outright. She is Mrs Cooper, and this is the story ’she told me: "My first escape was when I was 16. The .house I was living in at Dover was smashed to pieces by a great 1 all of the chalk hills. I ..was buried and had to be dug out with pickaxes and shovels. My rescuers could scarcely believe I was unharmed. "The second escape occurred in Hyde Park, when a car knocked me down and passed right oyer me. I had four crushed ribs, but otherwise I was intact. ’ "The last miracle was in America. I was standing beside a large maple tree at Albany, New York, when it was struck by a thunderbolt. The ground under my feet shook and the tree was split from top to bottom. I did not even suffer from shock.”
