A CURIOUS WOMAN.
One Who Can Only Talk When She Il
Asleep.

NV VINO IAN Only Talk Wnen Sno II
Asleep.
Little Rock Gazette.l
A gentleman from Dorsey county writes,
saying that he has not seen an account Of
anything strange located in his county. He
closes his letter by giving few strange facts
which. in substance, are about as follows:
about 20 years ago an old gentleman
named Lather, together with his family,
moved into what is now called Dorsey
county. . member of the family, little
girl, VINO, from the time she was five years
OF age, had been deaf and dumb, was
earnestly prayed for by the family
that her hearing and speech would
be restored, but time wore out cheap watches
and still no hearing-no speech. One night
last week the young lady's mother was
awakened by the sound of q voice In her
daughters room. Accusing the old gentle
man, the two entered the apartment from
which the voice had seemed to emanate
The young lady was asleep, and there was no
one else in the room. The old gentleman
laughed at his wife for what he termed al
lowing her imagination to get the better"
of her.
They had scarcely left the room when q
Vice exc aimed:
Every thing seems very wonderful
Rushing back, the young lady was found
to be the only occupant. The old gentle
man tried to arouse his daughter by shaking
her, but without effect Turning suddenly
in bed, the girl exclaimed, Eyes, the old
time orchards are always in bloom"
Startled and filled with joyful belief
that the young woman had regained the
faculty of oral communication, the father
and mother simultaneously graspsd the girl.
She awoke with start. Hopes were again
dashed to the ground. The young lady
could heather hear nor speak.
Since then. while asleep, she has repeated
parts OF the family's conversation of the day
previous, but all efforts to restore her birth
rights have failed. a similar case is re-
ported OF q woman in Kentucky, but the
affair is indeed very strange.

Wedding Costumes In Brittany.
IPhiladelphia BuIletin.I

The wedding was preceded by a requiem
sung for the repose of the souls of the
groom's father and mother, he being an
orphan. A most mournful and lugubrious
introduction to q wedding 1t seemed. The
groom, who Is very rich, hear, was sight
to behold. HIS sleeved waistcoat was OF no
common cloth, but of rich blue velvet,
curiously embroidered, his sash OF blue silk
and his hat bound with broad silver ribbon.
The unity of his costume was somewhat
marred by black clcth trousers and a pair OF
kid boots of Partisan make. But if the
groom was splendid sight, what shall say
of the bride? Her dress was gorgeous. She
literally blazsd with gold and silver laces
and ribbons, spsugles of all colors and silk
embroidery. Her apron was plum colored
silk, brocaded WITH great flowers of green
and yellow. Nor was she alone in hel
magnificence; many of the guests were as
brilliant as she. Two young ladies from
Chateaulin, neighboring town, wore silver
gray brocade aprons, black dresses trimmed
with black velvet, the open bodice filled in
front with pink silk, covered in the ons cass
with roses, in the other with little ostrich
feathers

Little Rock Gazette.l
Among the many manias that have run
for the past few years, prominently stands
the one of old men predicting their death.
Some time ago we published an article of an
old man who lived out on the Mount liza
road. This man foretold the hour when he
would die and, true to the prediction, he
died. Men during the past year have died in
every State in the same manner. This has been
carried to such an extent that when a man
says Ppm going to die at 10 minutes past
next Monday" his relatives Immediately
begin to make arrangements for the funeral.
Several days ago an old man named Robert
Spear, living about 10 miles from this city,
called his family together. and remarked,
Wife, children, next Monday, at precisely
l O'Clock, l am going to die. would rather
remain, but the summons has arrived" The
first storms of grief were violent. The wife
and children gathered themselves into each
others arms and wept. The news soon spread
around the nelghborhood and people came in
to console the family. Bill collectors came
in, and the old gentleman promised to pay
all his debts On the following Saturday at II
o'clock He continued to work on the farm,
but was much depressed, and at night would
pray long prayers and sing sorrowful hymns.
On Sunday night the household. supple
mented by friends who always take great
delight in gloomy occasions, seemed to be
a well-organized camp meeting. The old
gentleman for the first time expressed
his willingness to CO. Yester-
day was his appointed time. At 9
o'clock the old man dressed himself took up
his Bible and began reading, At 10 O'Clock
he sang q hymn, and at IL he bestowed
blessings on his family. Shortly before II
six men came in and presented bills, bills
that had bsen stood off, from time to time.
He paid every cent, ate a light dinner and
lay on his bed. TIE collectors stood around
and waited. The hand on the clock indi-

Oliver Wendell Holmes.


Oliver Wendell Holmes Is 20 years old.
1t is pleasant to think that a man who has
charmed and delighted the English speaking
world for SO many years is yet in the full
maturity OF all his powers. Age has not
withered his infinite variety, whatever it
may do for less favored men.
At 10 years his wit is as nimble, his fancy
as fertile and his humor as glowing
as when he was in what most men call the
prime of life. And though it might be an
unpleasant duty to remind some public
men of their advancing years, it carries
with it no suggestion of mental or physi-
cal decay to say that Holmes has reached
the age of three-score years and 10,
mans allotted limit of life. With
him, it would seem. the fountain OF youth
flows perennial. Mirth, laughter and q
kindly charity are wonderful preservatives
of the better part of man. These attributes
of character are Holmes own. Therefore,
on his SEVENTEEN birthday he is to thii
generation the same genial and sparkling
companion that he was to its fathers and
mothers, when those fathers and mothers
we're young and thought they knew good
thing when they saw II.

There was great deal of truth in confess
sion which good colored Methodist parson
made to the writer of this article last year
IN reference to a camp meeting result. The
brethren had stuck to the woods
and their work for two weeks. We were
talking to the minister about the
results, and inquired of him: 'sWell,
brother, how maIy conversions were there
at your camp meeting?" "Not one," was his
reply, gwen with evident reluctance, but
with emphatic honesty. In much astonish-
ment we rejoined: "Why, is that so? Not a
single soul converted?" NO" he replied,

Isonomy, the Winner of the Doncaster Cup
His Previous Performances.
New York World.]
But few races run in England, where the
records of many go back nearly 100 years,
can show such record as Doncaster' s famous
cup. 1t was first run in 1866, when 1t was a
dash of four miles, at which distance it re-
manned until 1925, when 1t was reduced to
the present distance, ABOUT two miles and
i've furlongs. If the history of the Dom
caster cup could be written it would fill a
big book, for the pedigrees OF nearly all the
families in England can be traced to sires
that have won the Doncaster Cup. Since
the reduction to the present soup" distance,
it has been won twice by Touchstone, four
times {three times In succession IN 1910 2,
namely by Beeswing; in the two following
years by that very queen OF brood mares,
Alice Hawthorn, and in the next year (1845)
by Sweetmeat. In As came Chandelier, in
80 Voltiguer, in 55 Rataplan, in 81 and '5S
Vedette, and SO on with such winners as
Kettledrum. Macaroni, Achievement Dutch
Skates, down to the present, and perhaps the
most famous winner, lsonomy, horse

times, his only victory being achieved in
the Second Nursery at the Newmarket first
October meeting. while his defeats we're sus-

Nursery handicap at the Newmarket

once, when he won the Cambridgeshire,

veille second and third IN field of SO
horses. As the starting price was 40 to one
against Isonomy, Mr.. Gretton's winnings, it
was said, exceeded EGO, 900. This year car
rying 124 pounds, Isonomy ran second to
Parole at 116 pounds for the Newmarket
handicap, since which time he has had q
series of the most brilliant successes known.
He won the Ascot gold cup. the Queens
vase and the cups both at Goodwood and
Brighton. But his most brilliant victory,
probably, was the great Ebor handicap on
the 9th ult-, when with 1874 pounds he beat
knight Templar, Seringa, Mar and TWAIN
