about 40 rods from u camp there
was a felled tree across the creek.
This was the only place that thesow

for the old SOW to take hold of the
pigs tail, and the pig would lead
her across Well, one day we were

Something unique in mor5uary
m alters occurred recently nea
Punxsutawney, Pa, Solomon Hines,
an dip citizen, who spent most of his
time in the woods with dog and gun,
became alarmed about two weeks ago
on account Of the prevalence OF
typhoid fever. One of his old
neighbors succumbed to the deseas<
and old Hines made uphis mind bis
turn wouldcome next. Heaccording
lytooka mattock andshovel, selected
Q spot on his farm which he thought
suitable for his final resting place,
and proceededt to dig hisgrave. After
this he talkedinanonchalant manner
about his obsequies, saying in his
drawing way he really would have
preferred to live a little longer, be-
cause, as he expressed it, "a man has
such a gol DANCED long time to be
dead" AS Hines was an exceedingly
robust man, his neighbors laughed
at his e~ccentricities and whispered
around that "Sol Hines was getting
q little out of his head" But in the
course OF n week Hines was down
with typhoidfever, and when the doc
tor came he said: "There amt no use
in running up n doctor bill when a
man knows he's goin' to die," and
not a morsel of medicine would he
permit to pass his lips. In a few
days more lie was dead, and his body

There are some good sized families

of Maine near the mouth of the Ken.
nebsc in 1861. His mother was left
a widow when he was a child, and is
said to have had all she could do to
provide for the wants OF her family.

for finding IL Spanish treasure ship
that had gone to the bottom half a
century before, he remembered his

tives last night arrested a man who is
strongly suspected of having perpe-

james Edwin Oleming, a young doctor.
He has been identified by the very per.
son who saw the robbery as that indi-
vidual. He can give no satisfactory &C.
count of his whereabouts on the day OF
the robbery, and his statements as to
what he did that day are at variance
with other positive testimony on the
subject.
Or. Oleming wore a brown beard
until Thursday night. He was seen
in the evening only on that day by 9
person who knew him, and that was be
tween z and 8 O'Clock in the evening
Then his whiskers were black, or at al
events. we're darker than he had beer
won't to wear them. THURSDAY
night he had his beard cut off, ane
shaved himself clean except for a small
mustache. In addition to these cir
cumstances the suspected man has
been in financial straits, and has beer
in hiding for about two weeks, pre-
tending to be out of town, though dur.
ing all, or at least a portion of the time,
he has been in Memphis.

They Ought to Get the Limit.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1G.-The Illinois Hu.
name Society has decided to prosecute
the parents of 2-year.old Leonard
Turner, the tobacco smoking baby. The
child's case was brought to public
notice but a day or two ago. Ever since
the baby was two months old, his
father, who is said to be q dissipated
man, has been teaching him to smoke.
The child has now become so accus
toned to the weed that he cries for his
pipe and tobacco. His mother has had
to work out to support the family, and
OF late has been leaving the little fellow
at the day nursery. The matrcn Of The
nu rsery refused to allow tie use of to.
bacco, and reported the case. The
society at once took up the matter, and
yesterday two doctors examined the
Child. He was found to be in
q very feeble condition, already suffer.
ing from acute nicotine poisoning and
having tobacco heart" His skin
dries, and the brain is also affected. He
displays but little intelligence now and
brightens up only when his pipe is
placed between his tet til. Acting on
the report of the doctors, the society
has sworn out warrants for the arrest Of
his parents. The penalty for the oifense
ls hot less than $40 nor more than $500
or n year in prison, or both. The
doctors express doubts as to whether
the child can be brought back to 8
healthy condition.

Bewitched Milk.

F. s. Bean, a former Oxford dean,
now residing in Cadott, Wis, com
municates Il strange tale of an old
Oxford county superstition to the
Norway Advertiser. He says that
when he was q lad the people of his
neighboorhood used to believe that
an old woman living there was q
witch. She became provoked with a
neighbor because the latter refused
to sell her Il COW, and thereafter no
butter could be made from that
cows milk. No matter how long
they churncd, the butter would not
come. AS the story goes, a girl in
the family had heard that Il witch
could be burned and dispossessed by
dropping a red hot horseshoe in the
churn with the cream. She tried the
experiment, whereupon she declared
that Il scream issued from the churnl
The butter soon came, and a scar in
the shape OF Il horseshoe was after
wards seen on the old wonlan's per-
son by some imaginative observer.
"When was boy, 1 believed the
story, but my faith is somewhat
shaken now" says Mr. Bean.

Tho Other Side.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE following
dispatch reached tho Associated Press
from San Salvador today: The reports
published recently in New York touch
ing a revolution in San Salvador were
altogether inaccurate. They were doubt
less based on the circumstances con-
nected with the passage of several
Salvadorian refugees from Nicaragua to
Guatemala, on board the Pacific Mail
steamer City of Panama.
Among these refugees was Lizandro
Litona, a man who had been guilty Of
common crimes, and against whom
criminal ohsrges had been preferred at
San Miguel The court demanded that
Litona be surrendered. The captain Of
the City of Panama, in direct violation
of law refused to surrender him, but
weighed anchor and sailed away without
previous permission from the captain Of
the port. By this act he rendered his
vessel liable under the treaty to confis
cation. Such was the origin Of the fal, 9
reports which have been published.
