JEFF DAVIS DEAD.
The Great Confederate Chief.
tain Passes Away at New
.=s Orleans.
Sketch of His Life and Some
Striking Incidents in
His Career.

New ORLEANS, Special-At 1916 O'Clock
this morning Jefferson Davis, ex-president
OF the Confederate states, died at the resi-
dence Of his lifelong friend, J. U, Payne.
From the beginning Of his fatal illness Mr..
Davis had insisted that his case was nearly
or quite hopeless, though the dread o
pain or fear of death never appeared
TO take the slightest hold upon his spirits,
which were brave and even buoyant from
the beginning Of his attack. In vain did
the doctors strive to impress upon him that
his health was improving. He steadily in
sisted that there was no improvement, but
with Christian resignation he was content
to accept whatever providence had in store
for him. Only once. did he waver in his
belief that his case showed no improvement,
and that was at an early hour yesterday
morning, when he playfully remarked to
Mr.. Payne: II am afraid that I shall be
compelled to agree with the doctors for
once and admit that I am a little better"
MISLEADING SYMPTOMS.
All day long the favorable symptoms
continued, and late in the afternoon, as late
as 4 o'clock, Mrs. Davis sent such a cheer
ing message to Mrs. Stamps and Mr.. and
Mrs. Farrar that they decided for the
first time since Mr.. Davis has been
taken i'll to attend the French opera.
At 6 o'clock last evening, without any as
signable cause, Mr.. Davis was seized with a

High Officials Telephone
Experience.

An amusing anecdote is told about
the recent experience of Baron Won
Mittnacht, the Wurtemburg minister
president, with the telephone. His
excellency was lately paying a visit
incognito to his o at Ulm. While
inspecting the sights of the town in
company with his relatives and a
Hamburg senator, he went at the
request Of the latter to the post
office to try the new telephone con-
nection between Ulm and Stuttgart.
After ringing and asking to be con-
nected with the foreign office at that
town the familiar voice of the chan
Gerry servant was heard asking in
broad Wurtemburg dialect; "Who
is there?" To Herr Won Mittnacht's
reply-"Minister President Mitt-
nacht"-There came the impatient
answer: "You be blowed; don't try
and green me; the minister president
is not at Ulm." His excellency re-
piled: Eyes, I am here; call Councillor
B. to the telephone" The servant
would not believe the voice of the
minister, and gave the we'll known
evasive answer: Cali the gentlemen
have gone out" The minister's
angry order had no effect. The SER
want at length broke off the COM
munication after final a~sseveration
that his interlocutor was quite a Diff
ferent person from what he protested
to be, and that he was not going to
be caught SO easily.-Chicago Times.

Push.

If there was more push in the world
there would be fewer hungry, half
starved, homeless, suffering children;
fewer broken-down, dissipated men
and women; less need of almshouses,
houses of correction and homes for
the friendless.
Push means a lift for your neigh
Dor in trouble. Push means a lift for
yourself out of the slough o%fdespond-
ency and OF ~shi1tlessness, out of
trouble, real or fancied. Push never
hurts anybody. The harder the
push the better, if given in the right
direction. Always push up hill-few
people need a push down hill. Don't
be afraid of your muscles and sinews;
they were given you to 8 Don't
be afraid of your hands; they were
meant for service. Don't be afraid
of what your companions may say.
Don't be afraid of your conscience; it,

Pushl 1t is just the word for the

Signs of a Hard Winter.

The crop Of hickory nuts is unusu-
ally large, and we must look for a
hard winter. The moss is growing
high on the north side of the trees,
and this forebodes a hard winter.
The corn shuck is quite thick, and
this is another sign of a hard winter.
The goose bone looks like q young
leopard, and that means a hard win
ter. Our weather predictions are al
ways wrong, and that means a
warm winter. Now pay your money
and take your choice.-Salisbury

Kissed Her for the Clears,

"I'd give rs cents for permission
to kiss that girl" remarked an in
si%pid-looking youth on an Albany
bound train last night, says the
Albany Express, indicating with a
motion of his hand an unusually
handsome young woman asleep in a
seat near by. The young man was
one of a group standing in the rear
of a crowded car. Another young
man said:
"You have my permission, sir,
gratis"
"'Fraid she wouldn't regard it as
sufficient" laughed the first.
81 don't know" replied the other;
81 have a great influence with good
looking girls-I'll tell you what I'll
do; I'll bet you a good cigar /
can kiss her without waking her"
Ozone" cried the insipid youth.
"In give you a cigar if you dare do
it, anyway, and two more if she
don't wake up"
cts a CO."
The daring young man stepped up
to the seat where the pretty girl
slept, leaned over softly, and
kissed her squarely and audibly
upon her mouth. She stirred, smiled
a little, but did not wake. The group
OF men had watched the proceeding
in breathless suspense, and a long
and simultaneous sigh broke from
them as young Impudence straight
ened up after the operation and re-
joined the group, several passengers
who had seen the audacious perform
ance staring at HMM astonishment.
"By Jove! that was elegant" the tel-
low of insipid aspect exclaimed as he
handed the successful kisser three
cigars.
But there was another reckoning
to be made. The conductor came hur-
rying down the aisle and went for"
the daring passenger, metaphoric-
ally speaking, hammer and tongs,"
crying: "See here, young man, don't
you ever try that again! Are you a
gentleman, sir? Don't you know
that I can arrest you for such a per-
Torrance as that?"
The young man colored, but
laughed %nervously as he answered.:
mo, I don't much believe you can.
l guess there isn't any American law
against fellows kissing his own sis
ter-is there?"
It has not appeared yet whether or
not the young woman learned of her
brothers astonishing d~isrespect, or
whether, if she did, her displeasure
lessened the qualification derived
from the cigars won in such a ques-
tionable manner.

A Man Who Sleeps for Years.

A Man Who Sleeps for Years.
Twelve years ago Herman Harms
emigrated to Utica, Minn., from
southern Illinois, where he had long
suffered with fever and ague. S Shortly
afterward he found it impossible to
keep awake. He slept continuously
day and night for nearly nine years.
Three years ago he reused long
enough to work in the harvest field
part of the season, when the lethargy
returned. At the end of three more
years he again awoke for a few days,
and again relapsed. Each day he
returns to consciousness for a brief
season, but the spell of sleeplessness
at once exerts it's sway again, and
the man is as oblivious as though he
was dead. He has been treated with
tonics, quinine, and strychnine, but
without effect. Two years ago his
eldest son discouraged at the dark
prospect on tho farm, committed
suicide, and q little later the second
boy died.-Boston Budget.

FIR ON Harper's Monthly.
The country (Republic ofColumbid)
from Cucuta to Bogotai is rhickly set
tied with important towns; trade is
very active; provisions, principally
wheat and maize, bread, pork and
beef, potatoes. juca and many excel
lent grains, are abundant. The ia
vorite beverage in the hot valleys is
O s~our-sweet liquor made from mo-
lasses mixed with water, which re-
freshes, without being injurious to
health. On the table-lands the lower
classes literally degrade themselves
to the level Of the brute by the use of
q distasteful beverage called china,
made from Indian corn and the mo-
lasses first extracted from the sugar
cane. This beverage not only pro-
duces, by it's long continued orexces-
sive use, a s~tupefaction of the facul-
ties, but also gives rise in timeto the
disease known in Italy as pelambria.

With this horrible intrument an

such cases the executioner was fire.

pompously proclaimed it's abolition,
he was careful to retain the power of

knont itself was merciful. The knout
could compass the death of it's victim
with some half dozen strokes,
but, before the same end could
be attained by it's substitute,
the stick, it was impossible
so say how many blows might not
be required. An eye witness Of one
of these executions has described it
as being more hideous than anything
that could be conceived. The GRIMM
al having been convicted of the de-
liberate murder of one of the Emper-
or's Ministers, he we'll deserved to
die, and it was determined that die
he should; but capital punishment
and the knout had both been abol-
ished; so, in order to attain the end
in view, the wretched man was SEN
fenced to 5000 blows of the stick,
which no human being could receive
and live. The execution took place
in the public hay market; and when,
after bearing 1,4OO or 1900 blows,
the victim fell, an unconscious mass
of bleeding flesh, he was bundled in
to an ordinary PEASANTS hay cart,
and, with pieces of hay sticking into
his gaping wounds, covered over with
some rough sacks, he was jolted. off
to the hospital, and never heard Of
again. The surgeons were not likely
to be anxious to cure a man whose
death they knew to be intended, and
even a feeling Of humanity may have
prevented them from wishing to re-

Railroad Ties Of Mahoeany.

The next day we rode for miles
through magnificent forests of ma
hogany and ebony trees. 1t may
seem strange but it is the plain
truth-for miles and miles through
this country the Monterey & Gulf
railroad will use mahogany ties, and
the timber used in the construction
OF it's bridges will be of the same ma
terial, and often ebony will be used.
Vast forests OF these precious woods
stretch for miles on either side of the
roadbed, and the sound of the wood
mans ak has never yet disturbed tho
stiffness of the virgin spot.-Cor.
