One OF the most peculiar cases
ever known in the history of Hi
dois is that of Judge Stipp, IF
Princeton, who recently became de-
ranged from the effects of anxiety
and worry over the necessity for
passing the death sentence upon a
convicted murderer, although he
has been on the bench Tor twenty
years. But a relative of the Judge
was recently hanged and subse-
quently proven innocent, which so
preyed upon the judges mind that
he became averse to applying the
death penalty on circumstantial
evidence, but saw no way to avoid
it. Such an end CT long and dis
tinguished a career at the ripe age
of 70 years is truly deplorable.

SAYS the San Marcos Star: "a
town without newspaper would be
dead place and yet there are bus
ness men IN every town who refuse
to support their local paper beyond
subscription and perhaps a few
locals occasionally, and yet they
expect the paper to work for their
interest and are quick tie find fault
if it does not come up to their re-
quired standard. If a town wants a
first class, progressive, live, journal
that will reflect credit on the place,
it must do its duty toward support
ing that journal. A liberal, pro-
gressive policy pays in every enter
prise. Stinginess is togyism in a
very aggravated FORM"

locks aud quite good looking.
When she was sixteen years old
she married her first husband, j.

him.
Some time afterwards she mar.

A Sc. Louis man has tor several
years been annoyed by a curious
circumstance one side of his
mustache grows about twice as fast
as the other, and if it is neglected
for few weeks ne will suddenly
notice that it is from half an inch to
an inch longer on the left than on
right. He is obliged to keep cutting
it off from time to time to make
things even. He had not the faint
est idea what caused the greater
luxuriance on the left until some
days ago he asked a barber about it,
and the man asked him how his
desk stood in relation to the light.
tie replied that for years he had
occupied desk with window on
his left, which at once explained the
difficulty. Hair, like vegetables,
grows best in the light, and ascer-
tanning the fact my fri md at once
had his desk changed to the other
side of the window in order
to give the right side of his
mustachc a chance to develop. He
is awaiting the result with Interest,
and if the change in growth shifts
with the light, he is going to face
the window.

There are many men in a town
who are willing to reap the benefits
which a live and well conducted
newspaper gives to town, but are
unwilling to aid in the work to the
extent that they should by giving it
a substantial support in the way of
patronage. They acknowledge the
benefit of the paper, but when asked
to advertise in it reply that their
peculiar business does not need ad-
vertising, they are too well known,
etc. Yet these same people get a
fair portion of the trade which the
paper influences towards town OF
prevents from going elsewhere, and
are among the first to proffer advice
as to how the paper should be con.
Quoted.

! THE OLDEST MAN ON EARTH,

The oldest man in the world is a
citizen of Bogota, in the republic OF
San Salvador.
This new Methuselah declares
that he is one hundred and eighty
years old, and it would seem that
he flatters himself, for his neighbors
give the assurance that he is older
than he says he is.
He is half breed named Michael
Soils, whose existence was revealed
to DR.. Luis Hernandez by one of the
Oldest planters in that locality, who
as child knew Soils as a centena-
rian.
They have found in the year 1712
his signature among those of persons
who contributed to the building Of
franciscan convent, which existed
near Sebastian.
His skin is like parchment, his
long hair, of the whiteness of snow,
envelops his head like turban, and
his look is so keen that it made a
disagreeable impression on the doc
tor.
Interrogated by the doctor, he
answered complaisantly that his
great age was due to his regular
mode OF living, and to his never Civ
ing up to any excess of any sort
whatever.
81 never eat but once a day." said
he, "but | never use my but the
strongest and most nourishing foods.
My meals last half hour, for | be-
lieye it is impossible to eat more in
that time than the body can digest
in twenty-four hours. | fast tie
first and fifteenth day OF each month,
and on those days [ drink as much
water as | can bear. [ always let
my food become cold before | touch
it. It's to these things that l at
tribute my great age"

SUCCESS.

The great success which has attended
the introduction of DR.. Whites Pulmona>

due to the fact that they are reliable medi>
cines. DR.. White must certainly have
great confidence in his remedies, for he
sells them and authorizes druggists to sell
them on a guaranty such as is given on no
