vail of snow about his shoulders. His
tall, gaunt figure was straight as an ar

in their penetrating brilliancy. They
were eyes that seemed with one glance
TO search and know ones inmost soul.
His striking aquiline features were full
of wonderful expression as he talked.

livery Thing on which She Lays Her Hands
Coiiapses Completely.
There is remarkable young woman
living in Genesec County. New York,
according 10 Rochester paper--a Miss
Emily Hopper. who from heing n frail.
delicate girl, has suddenly developed
into female Hercules. Yet she is only
eighteen and weighs but one hundred
and ton pounds. Tho first indications
of this quality exhibited themselves in
tendency to break whatever dishes she
happcned to take hold of in the kitchen.
This, however. is not an unusual thing
among house servants of the most fceblo
constitution. Miss Harper would pick
up some household article and it would
immcdiately be broken in her grasp. a
coal scuttle would collapse as easily as a
lamp chimney, and washtub crush
like an egg-shcll.
One day her mother upbraided her for
breaking so many things about tho
house, and advised hcr to be more care
full in moving the woodboX or blacking
the stove. She didn't like to sec the
kitchen Uttered up with fragments OF
hese articlcs-sccmcd sort of shift
ess."
Emily began to weep, saying she
couldn't help it. She threw herself
upon hor mothers ncck-and nearly
broke it, of course. Then she embraced
her mother so tendcrly that when she
let go the old lady dropped on the floor
unconscious, with two of her best ribs
Broken. Overwhelmed with grief at
what she had done, Emily stopped TO
raise her. and nearly broke her back.
Then her father came in and wanted
to know what had been going on-what
had broken mother up so.
~ didn't do any thing to mother"
sobbed Emily; II only put my arms
around her so. and did like this" giving
her fatheran affectionate squeeze. The
old man collapsed, too, although he had
been lumberman in the Maine woods
and had been accustomed to wrestlo
bears for amusement. He said he never
got such hug as that before.
just then her lover dropped in, and
Emily was about to throw her arms
about him. when her father, who had re-
covered his breath, rushed between
them in time to save the young mans
ribs.
NO. no, Emily" cried the parent,
.''spare Jim (lim was spare young
NAM, and if you must hug some one hug

usc and not likely to live very long,
anyhow.
1t finally dawned upon the family that
Miss Emily had suddenly developed a
mysterious muscular power, and that
she was as dangerous as live electric
wire until she could learn to control it.
The doctors who have examined her are
puzzled. They think, however, that
this Samsonian strength may subdue
after awhile, but in the meantime they |
advise her to abstain from hugging. |
Jim is inconsolable. He says he would |
like to have her try The new clinch on
him just once, ribs or no ribs! At last
accounts Emily was heroically restrain
ing herself.-Toxas Siftings.

DEFENDED HER GOOD NAME.

A Michigan Woman Gives Her Traducer
Terrible Beating on the Street.
For some time the crowd of male gosspers
that nfests the town of Colon, Mich, has
dealt in anything but kindly manner with
the reputation of several women, more es-
pecially Mrs. Ida Adams. The leader of the
party was Fremont Hinkle, great, strap
ping fellow. Mrs. Adams heard of the man
ner in which her name had been used, and,
borrowing horsewhp from Fremont's
brother, she met the traducer On the street
last night and thrashed him until he yelled
for mercy. When she stopped, and she did
not stop until she was tired out, she said that
if anybody else wanted TO say anything
about her they could 90 light on, but the
next one she heard of doing so she would
give worse than she did Hinkle. Public SEN
timent is entirely with the lady.

AN ODD VISITOR.


His Story About the Birds in the Mem
docino Redwoods.
An individual who has an appearance con-
siderably like that of the lumberman from
Mcndocino, around whom Bret Harte throws
a mantle of rare attractiveness in his
"Sappho of Green Springs" strolled into
the Republican State Central Committee
rooms yesterday afternoon, and seated him
self quietly in chair near the desk occupied
by Hugh NJ. Burke.
After giving lengthy and apparently
satisfactory glance around tile room and
noting the busy clerks at the tables, he re-
marked pleasantly:
Eve been living in the redwood forests
of MendOein0 County ever since | was born,
and Eve grown tired lots of times hearing
strangers tell me that our birds can't sing
even if they have lovely plumage. L feel a
kind of happy since Markham came up our
way, fer do you know, pard, every one of
them blessed birds are now singing like to
split their thrOats, and L never heard them
sing before.
THE only blot upon my happiness" con-
tinued the old man, E" is that when Pond
comes up to see MS he may cause all the
frogs in the ponds to set up such chorus
that the birds may be scared into silence
again."
Then the odd visitor moved softly out OF
the room and rang for the elevator-boy.
