est streak OF luck came OF. It was in
the coolest, clustering days Of last
March when Mrs. Lake, the wife Of the
well known circus man, came on from
Californis, and on the day OF her arrival
made William her husband. 1t was a
pure love scrape on her part, she had
fallen in love with Bill years before, and
had correspondent with him ever sincs

killed in southwest Missouri shout four
years ago. But domestic life did not

Notwithstanding Mrs. Lake Law
ished all her available funds
on her handsome husband,
he was not content. He went east to
raise Black Hills expedition, nut did
not succeed very well. Late in the
spring he started for the new mining re-
gions' CT the Dad wood district Of the
Black Hills. Ibis proved to be his last
journey. On the second Of this month
he met with one of the men who had
sworn life vendetta against him, and
was shot in the head and killed in
stantIy. 1t Is reported that the name of
the man who killed him is Sutherland,
and that he is the brother of the man
killed by him in Abilene some years
ago, while he was marshal Of that then
turbulent town. William HickOk was
quiet, courteous gentle when sober,
and seldom allo ed himself to drink to
excess. He dressed well, carried small
fancy cane in his hand, and rather
avoided than sought company. While
he Was frontiersman in every sense of
the word, he was not an Indian scout.
He was well known in nearly every
frontier town, and seldom went out on
the trail. General Custer speaks well
of aim in his Three Years on the Pains.
He has many warm friends in this city,
as well as all over the west, who will re-
gret to hear Of his tragic end, the end
he has so long Teen expecting.
Fat and Food.
Professor G.. Volt, in lecture at the
public health congress, held at Munich,
remarked: "The weight Of the body
has often been assumed as an infalEb.e
proof of the maintenance of the condi-
ton of the body, CT of deposition OF
Tissue, and the food which keeps up
mans weight has been regarded as on
that account satisfac .Orily nutritious.

fat diminish; or there may be an in.
crease OF weight aud opposition Of fat,
while there is also at the same time
diminution of the albumen of the body.
Badly nourished people are usually not
lighter than others, but their bodies con-
tain more water and less albumen and
fat than those who are well nOurished.
Every cattle feeder knows that cattle
which are being fattened do not at first
increase in weight proportionately to the
food they take. And yet people com.

butcher will not buy care So on the
merits of its weight alone; he must
know the quality of the meat. The sub.
jsctive feeling OF satisfaction is equally
deceptive. The Irish peasant who con-
sumes ten pounds of potatoes in the day
feels quite satisfied, and yet is badly
nourished. The bad effects OF an i'm
proper dietary are often seen only after
