There died recently in Boston Grip
pie whose case attracted the attention OF
physicians, scientists and specialists all
over the country. This man for twenty
nine years had not moved from his chair
by day or night. When he was six
years old his spine was injured by an ac-
cident, and his neck, body and limbs
became paralyzed. He could not move
a joint in them. All his fingers became
disjointed, and the only movable joint
in his frame was one thumb. He could
not turn his head a hairsbreadth. lie
sat in his chair near window, and BY
an ingenious continuance of mirrors ne
was enabled to see what was going on
out of doors and in the room.
At night his chair was tipped back
little, and in this position he got bis
sleep. Any attempt on his part to move
his limbs caused him the greatest agony;
He suffered pain nearly all the time, ana
everybody wonders he lived so long IN
this horrible condition. Many promi-
nent physicians studied his case and gave
it up as unaccountable.
He was so remarkably patient ana ae.
vout in the midst of his sufferlngs tnat
he won notice by serving as a tex
from which large number OF sermons

To the natives of countries where the
climate is very warm, and where custom
does not require complete covering Of
the body, the expense of clothing Is
slight. So It is in extremely cold coun-
tries, where the discomfort of being un-
covered even for moment leads to the
habit Of very unfrequent change Of
clothing.
How many persons have reflected upon
the expense which changes Of weather

To say nothing of the ruin of fine cloth

what cost is inflicted upon the COM
muDity by unpleasant weather which is
foreseen.
An umbrella lasts in respectable con-
dition through acertain number of rainy
Gays, according to its quality. Let as
take one hundred rainy days as an aver
age. Let us also suppose, for guess,
that on day which is rainy all over the
country. one million umbrellas are
brought into use.
Then each of those umbrellas has lost
one per cent, say two cents, of its origi-
nal value, and in the aggregate the UNI
brelias used are not worth SO much bv
twenty thousand dollars at night as they
were IN the morning. These amounts
are mere guesses. but they serve to show

4 Unltea stat.s senator. ROmanee.


s'senator James g. Fair, Of Nevada.
was born within FIVE miles of where
was, " said gentleman connected with
the Chicago police department to re-
porter. There have been many anec-
dotes published about him, and espec-
tally about his divorced wife. but think
can tell how she became his wife, by a
mere accident, as IL were. Jim's family
lived in county Tyrone, while ours came
from an adjoining county. The Fairs
were known In all the country around as
fighters. and right good ones they were.
Beside being fellows that knew how to
handle black thorn, they were very
good carpenters. Jim's father and mother
did not live very happily together, so
the old man packed up his traps and
came to America. He made money and
went back to see how his family was get
ting along. At the time of his return
Jim was about twenty years of age.
He was the fathers pet, and when tho
old chap was ready to come back to
America he took him with him.
At this time Jim was engaged to
young girl named Pearce. l can't say
anything about the parting that took
peen tender one on the part of the
future Senator, as subsequent events
showed.
''At any rate, after he and the old man
got over to America the went at carpen-
tering, and made money very fast. Jim
thought of his sweetheart. and longed
for her. He sent sum of money to a
friend to pay for her outfit and passage
to the United States, fully thinking that
she would soon come to join his fortunes
In the new world. A few months after
this young Fair received reply from his
friend to whom he had sent the letter.
The nature OF the missive must have
stirred his heart to the depths. IL was
to the effect that Miss Pearce had married
another young man, and consequently
could not be expected to sail on the next
ship to her expectant lover.
''But the same letter which conveyed
this news also said that there was no
occasion for sadness. It reminded young
Fair that there was younger sister in
the family whose beauty and graces
were as charming as those Of the elder
one. His friend concluded his letter
With the proposition that he should
offer the rising fortunes and the money of
Fair to one who could accept them. To
cut it short, Jim sent back word that
be could do so, and it was not long after
that when the younger Miss Pearce
sailed for America to wed the future
bonanza king and Senator. Her subse-
quent history has been told in print
many time, but think that this story
