Difficult to Believe.

Young women sometimes do
queer things, but seldom does one
venture on such a remarkably bold
line Of action as one young person
did in Washington city while at a
dinner party not many moons ago.
During lull in conveisa tion she
quietly remarked to the young gem
tleman who took her to the dinner
Let me see your pocket-book.
Not knowing what to make of such
a peculiar request, the young man
quietly produced his pocket-bools
and handed it to her. She took it,
calmly opened it, and took out II
roll of bills amounting to 5000, all
tie money it contained. Then say
ing TO her victim, 81 will buy me a
ring tomorrow" she as calmly
handed back the empty leather case
to him and put the money in her
own pocket.
The man preferred to lose the
money rather than to press his claim
for it upon her relatives, and sub
mitted to what was simply a piece
of barefaced robbery.

Twenty Seconds.

A couple of negroes applied to
Squire Armer to he married last
Monday. They had u license but
had no money with which to pay
the Squire. lie at first refused to
unite them. They insisted they had
no money. They begged lard and
long and proclaimed loudly their
love for each other. The tender
hearted Squire finally succumbed
and married them in the following
style "William Martin, do you love
this woman and do you take her to
be your lawful and welded wife ?'
Answer: "Ycs, boss" Amanda
Best, do you love this man and do
you take him to be your lawful and
welded husband ?" Answered by Il
grunt. "Thcn by the authority
vested in me by the laws Of the state
of Kentucky | pronounce you man
and wife, and may the Lord bless

A Square Boy.

Twoo three weeks ago a pedestrian
who was passing house on Riopelle
street heard the sounds of terrific
struggle going on, and MS he looked
in at the front door u boy about 70
years of age, who sat in the hall,
Quietly observed:
Its only the old folks having a
little row, stranger"
"Do they have 'em often p asked
the man.
almost every day
"IfI were in your place I'd stand
at the door here and charge ten
cents admission fee. It's worth the
money to see family riot like this,
and you might as well make a few
dollars as to let the chances Slip"
The boy said he would think of
it, and The pedestrian waited until
the man had choked the woman as
black as a plum and then passed on.
Yesterday he CHANGED that way
again, and there was another row
going on, and the same boy sat on
the doorstep.
"Ill see the show" said the man,
as he pulled out his wallet. HAS
my advice profted you ?"
stranger, can't take your
money" replied the lad.
"Why?"
Because I'm square boy. For
a week or so every fight in there
was as square as a dice and worth
the price of admission, but as soon
as a crowd began to come and the
gate money began to run up to
eighty or ninety cents, dad and
mann began to hippodrome on the
public. The blood on his nose was
put there half an hour ago, and
mans Hack eye is three weeks old.
They want me to stand in with
them and deceive the public, but
can't do it. Let the best man win
or quit the business, is my motto.
Paossn, stranger, for this is put
up job to gull the confding public. -

The symptoms of Billiousness are I'M
happily but too well known. They differ
in different individuals to some extent.
A Bilious man is seldom breakfast eat
er. Too frequently, alas, he has an excel
lent appetite for liquids but none for sol
ids ola morning. His tongue will hard
ly bear inspection at any time; lift is not
white and furred, it is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrhea or Constipation may
be symptom or the two may alternate.
There are often llemorrhoids or even
loss ofblood. There may be giddiness
and often headache and acidity or flatu-
lence and tenderness in the pit of the
stomach. To correct all this if not effect
a cure try Grecn'sAugla Fouer. it cost

New Story About Napoleon's
Heart.

The alleged disappearance of the
remains Of Napoleon l. from the
tomb in the Invalides has brought
into publicity Il very curious anec-
dote, which is related by DR.. Bre-
mond, in his work on "Hygiene."
The Doctor alleges that the heart of
Napoleon was eaten by rats in May,
1921. 1t is a remarkable story, and
has increased the sensation occa-
stoned by the rumored theft of the
ashes. DR.. Antomachi and DR..
Carswell had begun a post-mortem
examination of Napoleon's body
at Longwood. They were I'M
able to complete their labors
on the day in which they com
menced them, and, night coming on,
they suspended their operations un-
til the next day. On resuming their
examination Of the body on the fol-
lowing morning, they discovered
that Napoleon's heart had been de-
voured by rats. Upon this revela-
ton, and to prevent the accident be-
ming publicly known, they sub
tuted for the natural heart por-
Il Of the viscera of a sheep. This
is tale which is now supplement-
ing previous sensation, and it
finds eredence as readily as the
other. The officials at the Invalides
deny the truth of this extraordinary
story as strenously as they denied
the canard about the removal of
Napoleon's remains. They contend,
very plausibly, that more care was
taken of the body than would reap
pear from DIR. Bremond's account,
and that it was carefully watched all
night long, during the cessation Of
the labors of the examining physi-
clans Nevertheless, the circumstan-
tial manner in which the story is
told has greatly impressed many
Parisians with a belief in its verify,
and further investigation will pro-
badly take place to satisfy their
doubt and curiosity.-N'ew York
