LADIES LOSING WATCHES.

An Investigating Reporter Tells Whore
They should Wear Them.
Going into some of the large stores up
town one may notice that many of the
young women behind the counters who are
so fortunate as to possess watches have the
rings at the stems of their time-pieces
drawn through holes in their jerseys and
fastened down securely by button, 50 that
watch could not be removed without quite
an effort, and certainly not without its
wearer knowing about it This Is q scheme
OF wearing watch that has gone into fash
ion in the stores, and it has a substantial
and sensible basis Recently a great many
watches have been stolen or lost, and in the
lost and found columns of the Herald q
larger number than usual have been report
ed. From the small number reported a.
found compared with the large number re-
ported as lost, it IS apparent that either the
honesty Of the people who have been finding
watches on the curbstones lately il alta very
low standard, or else the watches were
really not lost in the sense intended by the
advertisers, but stolen. It has been ouiae
fashionable for ladies, especially for thoeo
engaged IN the etores, 70 wear their WatcA-
es 10 their bosoms, with fob chains hang.

In most Of the cases where watches have

pieces as available as men have theirs,
they had just tucked them in between their
corset covers and the eorsets, instead OF
inside the corsets as. most ladies, Il Is be-
heved, do. Thus worn, they were an inyi-
tation to pickpocket, and In the crowds
on the horse-cars and ferries lust after
the closing hours OF the stores it was an
easy matter for an expert thief 70 make
"haul." A lady who lives 1t the other end
OF Beacon street had the misfortune TO ind
watch on one of the streets down town
the other day, and she advertised It In the
Herald. The applicants who called right
away after the appearance Of the advertise
ment were 50 numerous that Il was Q per-
sons work 70 attend the door. The lady
was surprised that So many people could
have lost watches. The pciica win say
that there are no thieves in the city--they
always debut the young ladies' CD town
know better.

STORY OF A GIANT.
Interesting sketch of a Magnificent specL.
men OF Physical Manhood

Interesting sketch of q Magnificent SpecI-
men OF Physical Manhood.
The following history of q remarkable
man, which we compile from a sketch pub
llsned in Michigan journal many years ago,
tends to show that, notwithstanding the al
most universal desire for unusual gifts, IL
is, after all, the dead level which is safest
L. even physical strength and noble
proportions, when in excess, may so ostra-
case and set apart man as to make his
prominence positive drawback to him.
The first record we have Of Charles Free
man, the subject of this sketch, is that he
appeared among other laborers on a West
ern canal about the year 1910, where his
extraordinary strength and stature attracted
much attention.
Freeman IS said to have been at that time
eight feet tall and to have measured three
teet across tAe shoulders. His arms where
they sprang from his chest were as large as
medium-sized mans body, and they
tapeFed down to a hand not less than three
inches in thickness, while the fists could
only be compared to Q sledge hammer in
size and strength.
His age was then seventeen years, and he
was still growing in bulk. He received the
wages Of an ordinary workman, but his
enormous strength made him a most de-
O1c. GouCu y 4AIdu SHOULD nave
had giant tools made on purpose for him,
for when ne seized an ordinary shovel
it went through the clay Like breaking
up pillow, and the handle soon came OF II ths
blade held. An ordinary axe was but 9
feather in his hand; It sank TO the eye IN
the wood and the helve splintered He
seemed quite incapable of measuring the
force he laid out, like ordinary mon.
When he stood among gang of laborers
the contrast made them look like chill
dren. The strolling Indians would stare 1t
him in amazement few moments, and then
with deep ''Ugh,'' would hasten outof
sight as rapidly as their dignity would per-
NIT.
He was put to do the work of two pairs Of
oxen; to remove the trunks Of trees, cut in
lengths of ten or twelve feet, out of the way
Of the diggers. he did not drag it aside as
oxen would have done. but, putting his right
hand under the end of the log, raising it
from the ground, then balancing it across
has left forearm, he shot it far out to one
side with all the ease that skilled work
man piles split cord-wood. And thus, day
after day, the giant worked until the canal
was finished.
Freeman,s next appearance was on the
boats that piled along the Huron river, IN
Michigan, where he was ct once sngine and

Prof Riley, after a careful examination
OF the findings OF entomologists in all other
countries, says: ut must be admitted that
certain spiders OF the genus La rodectns
have the power to infict poisonous bites
which may probably exceptionally and d.
pending upon exceptional conditioner brino
about the death of human bein1.n
The professors conclusion is the mora
notable from the fact that there exists Gen.
eral 1ncredulity among entomoloRists and
arachnologists upon the SUBJECT of fatal
spider bites.
Prof Riley further says: ssAdmittino IN
its fullest force the argument that in re.
ported cases the spider has seldom II ever
been seen by reliable observer to infiict
the wound, we consider the fact that speciea
OF Latodectus occurring in such widely dIs-
tant localities as South Europe, the South.
ern United States and New Zealand. ara
uniformly set aside by the natives as poison
Gus species, when there is nothing specially
dangerous in their appearance, is the
strongest argument for believing that these
statements have some verification in fact
1t Is no wonder that a popular fear should
follow the ferocious-looking spiders Of the
family Theraphosoid@; but, considering the
comparatively small size and modest color
ing of the species of Latrodectus, so wide
spread a prejudice occurring in so many
distinct localities must be well founded.n

THE BITTER BITTEN.
A Practical Joke Which Came Near En-
Ing in a Tragedy.

A Practical Joke Which Came Near End.
Ing in a Tragedy.
a young physician went to see his cousin,
an army officer, out upon the great plains
The officer was given to practical Jokes, and
the young doctor, being genuine slender
foot" was most promising subject One
morning, says the Youths Companion, the
host gravely proposed an elephant hunt.
WHAT" said the doctor, ''do you have ele-
plants out herel"
"Plenty of them,'' replied the host. Prep
arations were at once begun, and by nine
o'clock party of youngsters, ripe for the
fun, were after elephants. When about FIVE
or six miles from the post the doctor was
sent through a thiclzet of "wait-a- bit"
thorns, of which he knew nothing. Antici.
pating rare sportat his plight on his return
the host sat on his horse waiting, when he
heard shot and was startled by Loud cries
for help
He galloped through the glades and ar.
rived at a small prairie opening of an acre
or two IN extent, around which the doctor
was frantically urging his pony, while only
few yards behind was huge wild Texas
bull in full charge.
All the manliness of the host was aroused
by this real and unexpected danger of his
friend, and, without moments hesitation.
he dashed in and fred pistol shot. In an
instant the bull turned upon him. His laYee
American horse was unequal to the emer.
gency, and in turning was met full in the
side by the horns of the beast
Both horse and rider were lifted for one
instant into the air, and then came down in
heap together. The horse was dead with
out struggle, one horn being completely
through his body, the other caught IN the
bones OF the chest. One leg of the rider
was between the horns of the bull, pinned
fast between his head and the body Of tha
horse.
The whole hunting party soon assembled.
They were afraid to shoot the bull, lest his
struggles might further inlure the man
pinned to him. At last his iugular vein was
opened and he slowly bled to death. His
horns were then cut OF, the horse lifted
and the now nearly dead man carried on q
hitter back to the post.
Though no bones were boken, he paid the
full penalty of his joke, not only with tho
loss of fine horse, but with several weeks
OF severe suffering. 1t was his last '.ele-

The Old Place the Rest.

A young woman in Rushville, Ill, laid her
lump Of chewing gum on her pillow the
other night and went to sleep. When she
awoke in the morning the gum was bard
and fast in one of her ears, and she suffered
grievously for several days before the OBJ
struction was removed. This shows the
danger of departing from long established
custom. The inside of the bureau drawer
or the back of the bedstead, as all thought
full young women know, is a much safer
place of deposit for wads of gum.
