A Texas Dynamiter.
By United Press.

DALLAS, Tex, December p. A
villainous looking fellow played
Russell Sage's crank, Norcross,
successfully, and then, rather not so
much so to-day. He entered a tailor
shop and went back among the ar
lists OF shears and needles. He then
opened bundle of pencils and held
up black looking stick, half foot
long, which he said was enough
dynamite to blow up the shop. He
was willing to allow the knights to
liue if they would give him half a
dollar for pencils, when one respon-
ded with the money at once and
took the pencils, whereupon the
Texas hero walked out. The half
dollar was counterfeit. The police
now hold him as a bulldozer and
counterfeiter.

FAITHFUL TO EARLY LOVE.
Two Young Kentucky Lovers Who
Were Determined to Marry Their
Choice.

: quiet wedding was solemnized
at Liberty, Missouri, a few davs
ago, which is an exemplifcation of
the old saying that the course of
true love never runs smooth, and at
the same time shows a faithfulness
to early affection which is rarely
ever seen in this world. Forty.two
years ago Henry Carr and Mary
Wilson were lovers in little Ken
lucky village. There was a family
feud between the Carr and Wilson
families, but, like Romeo and juliet
these two forgot the enmiry and
swore to end the vendetta by ioin-
ing the two families.
The old folks objected so strenu-
ousiy and with such effect that the
two young people were separated.
Henry was sent te Europe in care
OF tutor, while Mary was sent to
a boarding school, and by the close
supervision of the respective families
they were kept apart until the
families drifted from the old home
and were lost to each other in the
world. They were true to each
other, however, and were firm in
their determination to marry their
choice or no one.
After young Carr got away from
the control of the fathers inflaence he
set about finding the idol of his heart.
but she had as fully disappeared as
IT she had gone from the face of the
earth. The Wilson family became
scattered and broken up and all trace
of them was lost to their old Kentucky
friends. About two months ago an
Old gentleman came to Liberty on
business connected with the William
Jewell College and while here saw a
sign in window which read MARY
Wilson, Dressmaker."
The name brought back the rush of
tender memories and he at once went
IN, and after few questions found
that his long lost love was before him
In the shape of an old lady of fifty
eight years. Mutual explanations
followed, and it was but a short time
until they determined to consummate
the intentions of their earlier years
and the wedding followed. Carr is
wealthy and took his wife back to
Virginia, where he now has his home.

A MODERN SOLOMON.
A Wisconsin Judge Decides Remark
able Paternity Case.

JANEsvILLE, Wis, Dec. 19. A
remarkable case, said to be without
a parallel, has been decided by
Judge Bennett in the circuit court.
The property Of a child worth $780,
900, was involved, and the question
raised was that of paternity. Leila
Hurd 1ngle was divorced from An
drew lng'e, of Fulton, this county,
on \ ovember 18th, 1889. She mar
ried Alex. Shuman on February
10th, 1890, and on July 8th,
1890, a daughter, Sarah, was born.
BY the death of Sarah's grandfather,
Silas Hurd, and the subsequent
death of her mother, the child be-
came heir to $4,000. and Shuman,
who insisted that she was his child,
took charge of the property. Not
for year did Ingle have an idea
that the girl was his daughter. He
was led to believe that she was
porn nearly year after the second
marriage instead Of FIVE months.
When Sarah's younger sister
died, however, the age that was
put on the coffin-plate showed that
Sarah, being just a year
older, was four months older
than was supposed. She would
thus be daughter of Ingle under the
law covering paternity of children
born soon after divorce, but under
another law, which declares all chill
dren born In lawful wedlock to be of
that union, she would be the daugh-
ter Of Shuman. After hearing the
evidence Judge Bennett took the case
in his own hands and ruled for the
plaintiff. He held Ingle to be father
of the child, thus putting the care of
her property into the hands of her
guardian, John Hurd. The remarka-
BILE resemblance of Sarah to Mr.. Ingle
is spoken OF as strong factor in the
case.

He Was Real Nice.

Bertha was very fond of play; in fact. she
was little inclined to be romp, and tho
more noise she made the better it suited her.
Bertha's mamma did not allow herltoplay
with some of the boys in the neighborhood
because they were rude, too; but there was
one gentle little boy who lived near, and he
and Bertha bad fine times together.
Once Bertha and her mamma were spend
ing the day at house where q Bishop WIS
visiting. The Bishop was a small. boyish.
looking man, and he was extremely fond Of
children, so he and Bertha were friendsdi-
rectly. And what merry time these Two
had. Bertha seemed to have found q play
fellow after her own heart, and the Bishop
appeared to enjoy their frolics as much as she
did -
When the time came for Bertha and her
mamma to leave, the little girl walked up to
the Bishop and said:
II wish you would come and play with me
some afternoon. Mamma lets me play with
nice boys"
Then she added to her mamma, in coax
ing tone:
Hes real nice, mamma, if he does make q
noise"
And Bertha wondered why everybody

Danger in Diphtheria.

The public needs to understand more fully
than as yet it seems to do that diphtheria
does not come, like influenza for instance ia
the air, but that every case is from previous
case, and that thorough isolation and dhin.
lection would in time stamp out the disax
as completely as q noxious weed weuldk
killed out by the destruction of all its sed.
In its early stage diphtheria is not really
distinguished from an ordinary sore thru.
For this reason every case of sore throat II
child, especially at time when diphtherii
prevalent, should be looked upon with
gree of suspicion, enough at least to prevt
the dreaded disease. It should be; kept
mind, also, that children with sore sthroa
and nasal catarrh are peculiarly susceptihi
to infection.
