Eve's Tomb.

The Arabs claim that Eve's tomb is at Jiddah. the seaport of Mecca. The temple. with palm growing out or the solid stone roof ia curiosity which is Of itself < wonder of the Orientl IS sup posed to mark the last resting place of the first woman. According to Arab tradition, Eve measured over 200 feet in height, which strangely coincldes with an account of our first parents written by a member of the French Academy of Sciences few years ago, who also claimed height of over 200 feet for both of the tenants Of the Gar den of Eden. Eve's tomb, which is in a graveyard, surrouneed with high, white walls, and which has not been opened for a single interment for over x thousand years, is the shrine of thou sands of devoted Ishmaelites. who make a pilgrimage to the spot once every seven years. It is hemmed in on all sides by the tombs of departed sheiks and other worthies who have lived out their days in that region of scorching sun and burning sands. Once each year on June 3-which is, according to Arabian legends, the an- niversary of the death of Abel-the doors of the temple which form can Opy over this supposed tomb of our first mother. remain open all night, in spite of the keepers efforts to close them. Terrible cries of anguish are said to emit from them, as though the memory of the first known trage dy still haunted the remains which blind superstition believes to be deposited there.

In a Strange Predloament.

CHICAGO, November 5-Samuel Clinton Willets age 62, who married his sons widow two years ago, is in a strange predicament. According to statements to Lawyer Druid, to whom he today applied for legal advice, Will lets has probably welded his own child. She was his offspring by a runaway wife of fortytiye years ago. Willets' first wife was Miss NJ annie Evans. They were married at Erie, Pa., when both were under 20. After the birth of girl baby they quarreled and the wife and child disappeared.
 Six years later Willets married Caro- line Stevens in d town near Erie. A son was born. but the wife died. The boy George growing to manhood went on the road for Harding. Davis & Co.,, wholesale dealers in hardware, of Pitts burg, and.on Christmas, 1860, surprised bis father by returning from Cleveland with bride, Miss Helen Wright. The young couple lived happily for twenty eight years, but were childless. lD 1888 George Willets died. The father from the first had singular affection for his daughter in-law and in 1890 they were married In London, England Since then Mrs. Willets' "reminiscences of her childhood led to investigations which apparently disclose that Mir. Willets' first wife, seven years after deserting him, married John Wright at Cleveland and they in turn, de- serted by him, brought the girl up un- der the name of Wright, and dying shortly before George Willets arrived in Cleveland. A detective is now in the latter city endeavoring to ascer- tain the facts in the case.

The Horse Editor,

In the hurry of business the sporting e,litor was accidentally assigned by the city editor to attend a tony wedding and write it up In first-class style. This is the way the sporting man sent up his report:
 had been previously decorated with eyercreens, and the two tracks leading to the altar covered with flowers as bright as jockey colors. was filled with a large crowd of people who were anx- ions to see the great matrimonial race. Soon the minister ascended the stand, looked at his watch, and while he was doing SO the bell tapped and the bridal party WAS seen coming up for the start.
 The bride was beautiful lilly, with n broad. smooth forehead. on which rested a forelock of soft, flaxen hair, which indicated gentleness and mettle Her eyes showed spirit. and although she was coupled up sshort, her form. from her well-poised head down to her slender fetlocks, was simply perfect. By her side, as she came up the man track to the minister's stand, pranced an old bald headed stallion, slightly sway back and stiff in the joints, who was evidently her sire. He looked as 1T he had been on the turf great many years and had made a good record. The bridegroom was splendid locking fellow. and stood about 171 hands high, deep in the breast, broad across the hips and small around the Hanks. His halr was chestnut brown, and he had proud look. which clearly proved that his pedigree was fine. When inc cere- mnny was over, he spnrred up to his bride, and as he escorted her down the lowered track, he stepped high with his neck bowed, and the vast concourse of people expected every minute to hear him whinny with delight and to see him reach down and bite the bride back of the ear.n
 The city editor concluded that this description needed soma alteration, and hence the report of the great wedding Is necessarily omitted. .-Ex.

How to Sweep a Store Floor


 A boot and shoe trade journal says: As a good deal Of harm is often d one in sweeping out a store by dust soiling, we believe our plan is worthy of a1op- tion. Take shallow pan and partly fill it with kerosene oil. Then dip the the broom into the oil, turn the broom handle to the floor for moment or two, long enough to allow the oil te run into the broom. Use soft, light broom You may have to dip the broom three or four times. After sweeping few times you will have no dust and your floor will be white and clean. The smell of the oil soon passes of. This is the cleanest way on earth to sweep store. Jn sweeping after busi- ness hours it is benefit to the stock. as no moths will bother the goods. If you will try it for week it will al- ways be done. No oil will get on the floor lit will soon evaporate), if you are careful not to use the broom too suddenly after dipping"

 Capt. A. F. Montana diplayed a dish rag gourd last night which, on account of phenomenal groth. is vigorous protest against the iniquities of the Republican party and national li- dorsement of the great Democratic vic tory.

The captain regards the phenomenal growth of the gourd as a sort of Providential indIrse- ment of the great victory achieved by Democracy of the nation.

Able Tobacco Advice. Heed it,

The New York Tobacco Leaf is in it's
twenty ninth year and it is fair to presume
that it is most excellent authority on the
subject, you know very we'll that we have
advocated for two years One acre for the
new beginner. If you do not desire TO take
our advice, read what the Leaf has to say :
To the farmer who has not yet tried to-
bacco as a crop, our advice is for him to 20
slowly and not attempt too much. He
should experiment at first; ascertain If his
land is suitable for the growing Of tobacco !;
learn how to cultivate it before he depends
upon it as a means OF making money; and
he by all means should plant only q small
acreage, for the probabilities are that his
crop will not be much of success. We
have received samples of crops grown in
new sections upon Which the grower ex-
pected good returns financially, but which
could not be sold, owing to the very poor
quality of the tobacco, and which must
have proved grievously disappointing to
the grower when he learned the truth.
If the tobacco grower, both experienced
and novice, will heed our advice, he will
plant only small acreage try to make q
first.class crop, and not expect too much
money in return for it If he does, he will
most likely at the end of the next growing
season be happy man instead of q disap
pointed one.
