Stonington, Conn, and who died re-

some Familiar Quotations.

Walpole, the prime minister of the
Georges. is misquoted in the expression,
..All men have their price. He never
said so, and entertained no such narrow
views of mankind. He was referring to
certain persons, and said. '.Afl these
men have their price" Money is
the root of all evil' is another lnisquoted
quotation, and wide deviation from
the truth. 'eThe love of money is the
root of all evif' is the correct quotation.
Love me little. love me long, is q
household phrase sometimes supposed to
have originated with Charles Reade, be-
cause he wrote novel by that name.
Those who are familiar with the poets
know that the expression originated
with Christopher Marlowe, and is found
in his jew of Malta It was after

Saved from Suicide by His Dog.

An Intelligent pet dog owned by Louis
Schmidt, of Camden, has prevented him
from committing suicide.
Schmidt is just recovering from seri-
ous attack of typhoid fever, which left
him very nervous and subject to fits of
melancholia. He was seized with one of
these spells Monday night, and while his
wife was asleep he stole to the kitchen.
Here he procured a rope and making
n moose tied one end to an iron hook in
the wall. Then procuring chair he
adjusted the rope, and kicking away the
chair swung himself off, as he thought,
into eternity. But, unknown to Schmidt
his faithful dog had followed him, and
instinctively knowing something was
wrong the intelligent animal went back
to the bedroom whining pitifully. Final
ly he awoke Mrs. Schmidt by tugging at
the bed clothing and rubbing his cold
nose in her face, and she followed the
dog down stairs as soon as she missed
her husband.
There she found him hanging from
the hook. She managed to cut him
down in time to save his ife.-Philadel-

P G. Coleman, of Colorado, Tex,
states that after a residence of five years
at Colorado he saw the first case of diph-
liberia. A child of four years, living
thirty miles distant in the country, and
with no neighbor within six miles, had
diphtheria, followed by paralysis. The
child was far away from any source of
human contagion and had rarely seen
other children The father stated that
two kittens mad recently die,i from what
seemed to be the same disease, and the
child had frequently kissed them. Dr.
Coleman does not doubt that the diph-
liberia was contracted from them.-Dr

Another of the Wars Strange Stories.
The suit of Joseph Troop brings out
most remarkable story. Thirty-one years
ago Troop was married to Miss Elizabeth
Carter in Ohio. Four weeks after the
wedding Joseph went to the front as
soldier He fought for four years, and
finally was hit by Confederate bullet
and was left for dead on the field. News
of his supposed death reached his Ohio
home
Nevertheless, he recovered after sew
eral months suffering in a hospital, and
In 1866 he returned to Ohio to claim his
bride. But she had left and could not
be found. He hunted for her for months
and years. and finally heard that she was
dead Meanwhile he had met another
charming young lady and the two were
finally married. For twenty-three years
they have lived together, and in addition
to accommodating a handsome fortune
they have been blessed with several sons
and daughters, one now of age.
A week ago, while at the state reunion
of soldiers at Grand island, Troop was
introduced to widow by the same
name. A few minutes conversatif- re
vealed the fact that the gray hair, y
was his bride of over thirty years $50.
The old soldier was dumfounded, and
hurried to his Lincoln home to bear the
tidings to the mother of his children.
He assured her that nothing but death
could part her from him, and sent word
to his long lost wife that he would have
to sue for divorce from her.-Cor, st.
