John Keel, who lives on the edge Ut
Tennessee, not far from Hopkinsville,
KY, courtcd pretty Lucy Walker, a
neighbours daughter, and married her in
1916.
The couple lived together for thirty
years and raised a family of four chill
dren. All tho children married and
moved away. The old couple became
lonely, and they got young lady named
Jane Hunter to come and live with
them.
Miss Hunter was about 20, bright and
attractive. 1t vas soon evident that Mr..
Walker was much attached to young
Miss Hunter. His wife grew jealous and
accused him of falling in love with the
girl. He frankly admitted it and said he
would marry her If he did not have a
wife already.
Mrs. Walker left her husband and soon
afterward obtained a divorce. The old
man and the young woman were then
married and came owe the line into this
country to live.
They bought a farm about three miles
from here, says q Hopkinsville special,
and lived together apparently very happy
for twelve years. At the end of that
time they disagreed and separated, the
second Mrs. Keel, like the first, obtaining
a divorce. The old man went back to
Tennessee, where the wife of his youth
had remained faithful and alone.
His heart turned again toward her
when they met, and he proposed that
they be remarked. She agreed. Last
Wednesday the wedding occurred, and
they began life where they were first
married, forty-three years ago.

nacilli OH a Bald Head.

DR.. Saymonne claims to have isolated
a bacillus, called by him "bacillus crini-
vorax," which is tho cause of alopecia.
1t is, he says, found only on the scalp of
man, other hirsute parts of the body,
and also tho fur of animals, being free
from it. The bacilli invade the hair
follicles and make the hair very brittle,
SO that they break off to tho skin. Then
the roots themselves are attacked. If
the microbes a be destroyed early in
the disease the vitality of the hairs may
be preserved, but after the f%ollicles are
invaded and all their structures injured
the badness is incurable. Tho follow
ing is DR.. Saymonne's remedy to pre-
vent badness: Ten parts crude cod liver
oil, ten parts of the expressed juice of
onions and five parts of mucilage or the
yolk of an egg are thoroughly shaken
together and the mixture applied to the
scalp and well rubbed in once u week.
This, he asserts, will certainly bring
back the hair if the roots are not already
destroyed, but the application of the
remedy must be very distressing to the
patients friends and neighbors.-Medi-
cal Record.

DyciDr Hair.

Hair dycins is not entirely a feminine
fad or vice, whichever you like to callit. 1t
is exceptional for men to take the trouble
and suffer tho annoyance and even pain
which continual bleaching and dyeing
entail. But some men arc guilty of tho
weakness, and they are not all actors or
men who live by their wits and personal
appearance. Ladies generally prefer
gold, but mel who are dissatisfied with
the natural color of their hair almost in
variably go in for black. To keep up
the deception, two if not three applica-
tons q week are necessary, and one GUS
toner of mine had mo visit him every
alternate day for over three years. Dye
ing the hair kills it in time and makes it
brittle and thin during the process, while
the number of scalp diseases sacrificed
at the shrine of vanity is legion. Several
BARRIERS now decline all dyeing business,
and l am one of the number. But in
years gone by l did my share, and adj
NIT having made a quantity of money at
it. The acids used are 30 strong that
they positively mako the fingers sore,
and as the scalp is much moro sensitive
than the fingers, the fortunes endured
by those who subject their heads to con-
slant irritation in this manner a be
moro easily imagined than described

Killed by His Victim.

Those of us who have seen a toad
take in" bumblebee or a wasp can
testify that predatory creatures some
times make mistakes in judgment when
they choose their victims. a southern
exchange gives us another lively and
more tragic illustration of the same fact.
a fishing party came to Mount Yer
non, Va, from the capital recently, and
after viewing the Washington estate and
securing n fragment Of the famous
cherry tree, a part of which is still on
sale, vent several miles down the river
to fish. Toward evening, when the pis-
catorial sport was about to he aban-
doned and camp struck for the night, an
eagle was noticed approaching, bearing
in its talons a burden that apparently
worried it.
When Owe the fishermen the birds
flight weakened, and drop of blood was
noticed to fall on the canvas a moment
later the eagle began rapidly descending,
and soon fell to tho ground.
fastening to the spot, the men found
the bird dying, yet firmly grasping in its
powerful talons a large sized ferret as its
prey. The animal was fighting frantic
ally for freedom, and had killed its APP
tor in the battle. The eagle had evident
ly stolen q march upon its cunning VIC
tim, but greatly mistook it's game.
The ferret was held in such n manner
as to intlict upon it no vital injury. Its
head being entirely Mt liberty, it had
lacerated its captor in Il terrible manner,
and ut length killed it. The eagle was a
monster, measuring four and onc-half
feet from tip to tip. The ferret was
killed by the fishermen, and the pair will
be mounted in their warlike attitude

shot on Ills Companions Gun Barrel.

l was hunting quail near Reidsvillc,
N. c., six years ago, with S. S. Harris
and James Play, of that town. Harris
and myself We're walking side by side,
when two birds were flushed ut the same
time. Harris was on my left and fired
at the bird on my right, l firing at the
IL on his left. Thus cross firing, both
fired simultaneously.
Harris killed his bird, but l did not.
Harris said my powder was not good.
We walked on about thirty PAGES, when
Harris lowered his gun to extract the
empty shell. Suddenly he exclaimed:
"Look! the ends of my gun barrels
have bursted off.
We examined them and found they
were not bursted, but l had shot them
off as smoothly us if they had been corr
stalks when we cross fired.
We walked back to the spot and found
five inches of his gunbarrels lying there.

\ Sensational Letter.

An amusing hoax appears to have
been pcrpetratcd upon the foreign press
in the shape of q letter alleged to have
been written by the present czar prior to
his ascension to the throne, tothc famous
editor and p~anslavist leader, Aksakoff,
whose widow died a few weeks ago.
The document in question, which bears
the date of May 90, 1866, contains bitter
comments on the class of courticrs by
whom the imperial family vas sur
rounded, and compares the highest Of
ficcrs of state to contemplate lackcys.
The publication of the letter in question
has excited an immense amountof atten-
ton throughout Europe, and it appears
TO have been copied in almost every
foreign newspaper of any importance.
The whole thing is, however, but q hoax.
The letter in question, instead of having
been written by the present emperor,
was addressed in 179Gto Count Kotchou-
hey by the Grand Duke Alexander Paul
witch, who subsequently assembled the
throne as Alexander l. The courtiers
referred to in such bitter terms were the
isnoble favorites of his grandmother,
Catherine ii. The original letter will
be found in the first volume of the Life
and Times of Alexander l." published
by c. Toyneville in 1S74.-Exchange.

For Adonfinn.

A gentleman living heal Allegan,
Mich, relates an interesting story Of
feline sagacity. Some person owning a
cat with three kittens, and desiring to
be rid Of them, took them in a bag to a
wood e the gentleman's house, and
dropped them.
In a short time the mother cat was
seen to approach the house with a kitten
in her mouth. Reaching the door, she
dropped the kitten and retreated to the
woods, from whence she soon returned
with another kitten; but instead of leav-
ing it where the first was left, she took
it to a neighboring house, then return
ing to the woods brought out the third
and last kitten, and left it at still an
other neighbours.
The old cat then disappeared, and was
not seen again until it was time for the
kittens to be fed, when she visited each
house, nursed tho kittens, and her dis
appeared again.
This course Of procedure she followed
until the kittens were weaned, when she
disappeared, and has not been seen since.
Was it reason OF instinct that caused the
mother cat to distribute the kittens to
different homes, so that all might be
adopted and tho lives of all spared?-

Rapid Railroad Construction,

An invention which promises to revo-
lutionize tho present method of railroad
construction was put toa practical test
recently by George Roberts, the inven-
tor, in the presence Of about three hun
dred railroad experts. The machine
worked beyond the expectations of the
inventor. the men laying at the rate of
two and one-half miles of track per day,
and twelve men doing the work of seven
ty-fve by the old way. 1t handled ties
and rails of the heaviest kind-used in
constructing mountain roads-with the
greatest ease, placing them rapidly and
accurately in position. The machine is
SO constructed that it can be used on
ordinary flat car. All construction ma
terial is moved OH rollers from the rear
to the front, where the machine takes
up the rails and ties, laying them very
rapidly on a steep and difficult grade.
Its great success has cause.-the Northern
Pacific to secure the refusal of the first
machine, and the inventor is now ar.
ranging for building two more machines
to cost S 1900, and the inventor receives
a royalty of $50 per mile.-New York

Eluffed On u Sure Thing.

There were twoof the men in Our gang
Of Pennsylvania oil well drillcrs and
blastcrs who were constantly fooling
with tho nitro-glycerine. They would
take chances to mako your hair stand on
end, and the trouble was they irnperiled
the safety of many others. One of their
favorite pastimcs was to get out after
monday lunch and toss a two pound can
of stuff rs far as they could hcave it. l
more than ono saw them stand fifty
feet apart, and on three or four occasions
saw the can miss their clutch and fall to
tho earth. Our foreman and all the
other men did a great deal of swearing
over this foolishncss, and onco the MGR
were discharged for it, but they were
taken back after n time, and as WI grew
more used to the stuff we took more
chances.
One day the men got IL with their
can, and us the fun was about to begin
our foreman said:
"Boys. that nonsense will be the death
of you yet.

one of them.
YES, and I'll bet ten to one it WON'T"

at the foreman.
The latter failed to cover, and as he
sauntcrcd off down the hill l followed
him. We had walked about 900 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and
thrown fiat to the earth, and then fol-
lowed a crash which seemed to have
rocked tho continent. AS soon as we
could get up VIC ran back to the derrick,
or where the derrick was. 1t had disap-
pearcd, as we'll as our shanty, and on
the site was II hole into which you could
have dumped a cottage. Not tho slight
est scrap of the two can tossers could be
found, and the foreman and l stood for
several minutes staring into tho cavity.
Then he suddenly slapped his leg, waved
his hand in disgust and growled:

Ill. LIGHTS In the Window.

~ pair of WORTHLESS that used to prac-
tice before the Washington bar were en-
gagged in giving "straw" bail and in
other ways securing the release of pris-
oncrs for a small consideration. They
rented a room which formerly had been
a drug store, not far from the police
court, and kept q light burning there all
night for the benefit of "late arrests"
who might wish to obtain bail rather
than spend the night in the police sta
ton. The druggist who had occupied
the place before them had failed TO re-
move tho blue and yellow bottles from
the window. One night two lawyers
passing up tho street saw the light.

The .Corpse Ran Away.

A Baltimore dispatch to The Chicago
Herald says: A telephone message to
the Central station last night conveyed
the information that a man had been
killed in the Baltimore and Potomac
tunnel, and requested the presence of a
coroner at Union station, whence the
body had been taken. The CORPSE was
covered with mud and dirt and was stiff
and rigid. Police Sergt. Schultze was
becoming impatient ovcr the non-arriyal
of the coroner, and walked to the door
to see whether he was coming. When
he returned, the bench was vacant and
the corpse was walking out of the door.
The sergeant started after his subject,
but the latter, seeing him coming, made
haste to escape. Finally the policeman
reached him and insisted on his return.
ing until the coroner should arrive, but
the man refused in the most positive
manner to let a o go to work on
him. He was a live man and therefore
not under that officials jurisdiction. The
sergeant came to the same conclusion
and allowed the corpse to go. 1t was
afterwards a%scertained that the mans
name is James Lacy, and that he fell
from a freight train and lost conscious
ness for almost all hour. He had been
temporarily paralyzed by the shock.
