An Eccentric Western Character.

Henry Clay Dean, who died at his
home in Putnam county, Missouri,
was probably one of the most eccen-
trio characters in the West. A few
years ago, when he erected new
dwelling, most of the house was built
in Missouri and the rest of it in low a;
but as Missouri had the largest part.
he claimed that state at his home.
For a number of years he had been a
delegate to the Democratic national
conventions either for Missouri or
Iowa. He never failed to attract at
tention in these bodies by bis eccen-
trio ways. A writer in the New York
Star says:
He claimed to be afarmer, although
he also practiced law, but, above all
things, he was astudent. He was con-
sidered an eminent scholar in his part
of the country, and had a very fine
library of rare works. He probably
had the bitterest tongue OF any man
in the West, and he never was SO hap
by as when abusing some one or some
thing. Probably his most marked
feature was his dirty habits. It is an
actual TACT that he would 60 at least
six months without changing his shirt,
and he was as frequently referred to
as "dirty shirt" Dean as by his proper
name. He had q very strong face, full
OF character and determination, and
with a certain charm Of manner, sc
that his habits did not bury his at
Effectiveness. He was in some respects
q miser. He would stay in one o.
these little towns at the leading hotel
and always manage not to pay any
board. He would insist to the land,
lord that he was an attraction to the
house, and therefore, should not b.
expected to pay anything. I remem
Der meeting him once in Ottumwa
Iowa. Everybody there knew hin
and considered him one of the strong
est men in debate they had evel
heard. It was very difficult then t.
get him into discussion, and If hi
did not feel called upon to speak ne
amount OF persuasion could induc'
him.

Log Cabin Success;
What ails the young men?

C
Robert Garrett's father left him a
fortune of twenty millions. He was
from childhood reared in luxury; he
received q splendid education with
an especial training into q thorough
knowledge OF railroad management
and was expected to succeed his father
as O railroad king.
Within three years after the re-
sponsibilities which his fathers death
threw upon him were assumed, he is
reported a broken down man, with
mind and health permanently shat
tered.
George Law is another young man
left with millions of money, who is
reported among the wrecks" His
father, bred a stone mason, was OF
gigantic size and strength, with COM
mensurate brain power, SO he became
great contractor, then railroad
king and left half dozen millions for
his son to dissipate. Theyoung man
is a success as dissipator.
The founders of both of these great
estates were born in the most humble
walks of life, grew strong, mentally
and physically, by simple living
and honest labor and developed into
financial giants. Their sons were
reared in the lap of luxury and devel-
oped into intellectual pigmies.
The great men OF our country have
not, as q rule, come from the elegant
mansions of the cities, but from
the Log Cabins of the rural districts.
Simple ways of living, freedom from
dissipation and enervating pleasures,
simple remedies for disease, effective
and which leave no poison in the
system, develop brawny brainy men,
who compel the world to recognize
their strength and power.
The wholesome, old-fashioned Log
Cabin remedies are the safest and
surest for family use. Our grand
mothers knew how to prepare the
teas and syrups of roots, herbs and
balsams which drive disease out of
the system by natural methods and
leave no after i'll effects. The most
potent of these old-time remedies
were, after long and searching in
vestigation, secured by H. II. War
ner of safe cure fame, and are now
put out for the ''healing of the ma
lions" in the Warmers Log Cabin
remedies.
Regulate the regulator with War
ner's Log Cabin sarsaparilla and with
pure blood giving health, strength,
mental and bodily vigor, you may
hope to cope successfully with the
most gigantic financial problems OF
the age, without wrecking health and
manhood.

How a Woman Is Won.

Good looks cut a small figure in
love making, and lucre plays no part
at all in youth. People have to get
old before they become sordid, and
then love has taken wings. A man
may have O voice like an unhinged
barn door, q nose like a cucumber, a
foot like a fiddle box, hands like
hams, teeth like a step ladder, eyes
like o jays and a mouth like q cellar
door, and if be sues judiciously no ar
rows of misfortune can keep the
wreath from his brow provided he
keeps clean shaver, clean linen and @
clean mouth. He may be attennated
to the very verge of emaciation, or be
elephantine in movements and dimen-
sions, but perfumed with the scent Of
fresh linen and possessed of wit
enough to use his tongue, he may win
any woman whom he studies with
eaxe.==Chicago Times.

A Dead Mans Finger.

I 81 got a two guinea fee for a
dead mans finger" said q we'll
known Louisville physician. IAN
old negro woman who claims to DO a
great voudoo doctor has been poster
ing me with request for such an ar
ticle, and finally I went to the dis
secting room of a medical college and
procured it. She gladly paid the
money for it, too. She makes q
very efficacious charm-so she claims
lin which the dead finger is the
principal ingredient. The charm is
said to be sure mascot for those
who want to win on horse races. Put
the chafm in your pocket and you
can't help picking the winner-so the
old woman says. She was very anx-
ious, therefore, for me to sell her the
finger before the races were over, and
was greatly gratifed when did so. "

Sharks in the Rhine.

In bathing establishment in the
Rhine at Wyhlen, near Basic. conster-
nation was caused not very long ago
by the capture of shark of the species
called spotted dogfish Its presence in
the peaceful waters of the Rhine was
finally accounted for as follows: Years
ago there was employed in the large
chemical works of Wyhlen gentleman
who was greatly interested in geological
researches and to whom it occurred to
try whether saltwater fish could not
live in the salt springs of Wyhlen. He
had II number of fish sent him from the
geological garden of Frankfort on-the-
Main, but the experiment proved a
failure; most of the young fish died,
and he finally threw the survivors into
an outlet of the springs emptying into
the Rhine. 1t seems that just there
the conditions were favorable to the
propagation of some of the fish. AL
ready last May, laborer while bath
ing was bitten in the leg by what ne
described as II large animal. but his
story was not believed. Now, however,
since the presence of sharks has been
individually demonstrated, the author
tiles have warned the inhabitants of
that region against bathing in the
Rhine. The shark lived nearly day
after its capture. and was sent to the
museum at Carlsruhe. - Cologne Ga

ABOUT SPECTAClES.
People Not so Timid About Wearing Them
as They Used to he.

al do not think that eye troubles are
on the increase" said dealer in
optical goods, although the demand
for srectacles is greater in proportion
than the growth of population. The
reason for the increase is that people
have less timidity about using specta-
cles There is an impression, not vet
effaced, that the use of spectaces once
begun can never be laid aside. This
is not true. The fact is that person
who really ought to use spectacles by
putting off the adoption of them only
necessitates the wearing of higher
number when he does put them on;
whereas, if he had worn spectacles in
time he might have so nursed his ocular
strength as to discard them at pleasure,
for period at least"
Are not Eyeglasses very often worn
when there is no real need for them?"
Quite likely they are" replied the
dealer, ''but | notice that the sale of
eyeglasses does not keep up in the
same proportion as the sale of specta-
cles. The eye-glass mania seems to be
dying out"

turcdP"

II would sooner sell one pair of

than half a dozen to woman. A
woman seems to be more anxious as TO
how she will look in the spectacles
than how she will look through them.

SUPERSTlTIOUS TERROR.
The Power 1t May Exert Upon the Strength
and Even Life of Man.

One OF the survivors of an early
Polar expedition lately told an incident
which illustrates the power which
superstitious terrors may exert upon
the strength and even life of man
One of the strongest and most hopeful
members of the expedition was young
Scotchman. The party was obliged to
spend the second winter on the ice;
the rations were low, and many of the
men already had died of scurvy and
cold.
C, the Edinburgh man. though
weak. was the life of the party His
joke and laugh never failed. One
night. after they had shifted camp to a
new place, he said: II am sure to go
back home. An old Gypsy read my
fortune ten years ago. l am to die in
Van Dieman's Land, and it's many a
league from here to there"
Not so far" said one of his com
panions 1.-The captain named this
place Demons Land this morning.
That is near enough for your pur-
pose.
The Scotchman laughed uneasily.
But from that moment he gave up all
energy and hope. In twenty-four
hours he was dead. Cold and hunger
did their part. But it was fear that
killed him at last.
Among the records of Washington's
campaign of 1777. we'll accredited
story is told of II young English officer,
Lord Percy, who served Under Corn
wallis. On riding to the crest of the
hill which overlooked the Brandywine,
he suddenly checked his horse and
looked about him in silence for few
moments. He then said to friend:
81 dreamed of this place before I left
England. | saw it all, in every detail.
| shall die here" He called his serv-
ant, and gave him his money, watch
and message for his mother. He was
one Of the first men to fall in the en-
gagement. The coincidence was singu-
lar. But when we consider that prob
ably ninety men in every hundred go
into battle believing that they shall
fail in it, the proof of the truth of pre-
sentiments is not established by one or
two fulfilled premonitions.
No record is preserved of the cases
in which very strong presentiment is
followed by events which bear no re-
semblance to those anticipated These,
nevertheless, constitute so large a pro-
portion of the whole that when the
matter is viewed merely as problem
of chances, it is extremely improbable
that any particular presentiment will
be fulfilled. Youths Companion.
