The Wise Lady OF Kalamazoo.

She had come down from Kalamazoo
and was seeking quarters in a Detroit
hotel. She was about fifty and the
years had taught her great conserva-
tisln and caution.
SIS this IL safe tavern to stop in?' she
inquired of the chivalrous clerk, who
was at that moment wearing his dia-
mond pin on his back, or rather the coat
for whose value the pin was collateral.
''ln what respect, madam" he asked.
Fire, of course" she said suspicious
ly. "Ain't anything else to be afeard
of, is there"
ooh, certainly not, madam: certainly
not" he FASTENED to assure her. "And
as to fire, our house is absolutely fire
proof. and even if it was not, we have
fire escapes everywhere"
Fire escapes!' she exclaimed. with a
gasp, reaching for her bundles. well,
if your drafted house is fireproof what
have you got escapes fer the fire for?
s'pose you've got burglar escapes too.

like this. Good evenin," and away she
went. leaving the clerk in a perfect halo

How Mines Are Sailed.

The gullibility of persons who buy
mines has passed into proverb. It is
said that such properties have actually
been sailed with half melted silver dol
lars and sold to investors, who did not
realize that the precious metal was not
found in nature with the stamp of the
mint upon it. Undoubtedly the most
scientific method of accomplishing this
sort of swindle is to apply the silver in
the shape of nitrate solution. When
it is ready for use some salt is put into
it and it is squirted over the rock, the
salt causing an immediate precipitation
of the metal in manner that is equally
conspicuous and deceptive to the eye

The Unreasoning Crowd.

Speaking Of the queer things to be seen
on the streets, it is really astonishing
how instinctively one person initiates an
other. A man with a passion for psy-
chical research has been proving this by
some experiments which are, to say the
least of it, original. Going along about
dusk the other night in advance of a
small party of folk, he suddenly turned
out into the muddy street, as if avoiding
something in front. Unquestioningly
every person behind did the same thing
in spite of the mire.
1t isn't likely that they felt the full
humorous force Of the incident in quite
the way he did, however, when they saw
him face about and walk calmly back in
the beaten path. The sheep went to all
the trouble of jumping over bar of
dust, to be sure, but it would really
seem worth while if human beings could
think little more independently and
for themselves. The truth of it is, it is
just this blind unreasoning herding to.

Theatrical Superstition.

Among country companies supersti-
tons are more varied and extended than
among metropolitan ones, and are OF
course more blindly and reaigiously ad-
hered to. If, on entering town where
the next ''stand" is to be made. a grave
yard is visible ON the right side of the
railway track, the country managers
heart swells with bright anticipations.
But if, on the contrary, the tombstones
loom up on the left of the road, he be-
comes depressed, as he takes the fact as a
warning that his Cuisines" will be small
during his engagement in that place.
Such manager will be apt to give some

The Results of Advertising for a
Wife.

Miss Minnie Babb, of Hawk
ms County, East Tennessee, spent
a part of this week in Bolivar under
very peculiar circumstance. Her
presence here is explained as fol-
lows; Some time ago, a man at
Seattle, Wash, advertised for a
wife. The paper containing the
advertisement accidentally fell into
Miss Babb's hands, and she corre-
sponded with the man. Matters
went on, and finally they agreed to
marry. Arrangements were made
for Miss Babb to 60 to Seattle, and
ticket was purchased and sent
her. She boarded the train, for the
first time In her life, and travelled
as far as Grand Junction, where
she got off. Fatigued by travel,
nervous, restless and without money
or friends, she became respondent
and decided to discontinue her
journey. Being entirely unused to
railroad travel, she seemed to think
that unless the ticket was destroyed
she would be forced to go to her
destination, consequently she de-
posted the ticket under a plank
beneath the hotel. Her presence
and strange story naturally created
suspicion IN the minds OF the people
of Grand junction. They supposed
her at once to be insane, and she
was sent to Bolivar. Upon her
arrival here. she related her expe-
renee to some of our kind hearted
people, who cared for her tenderly
and raised sufficient sum of money
to send her back to her home 10
the East Tennessee mountains.
Miss B4bb is about % years of
age, and comedy in appearance. She
is country girl, knows nothing of
the ways Of the world, and this Is
the first time she has ever been alb
sent from home and will perhaps
he the last.

both parties, and placed Rich
Wilmington III charge of Bynum to
await the hour of trial, which was
set at Z o'clock. Bynum asked for
the privilege of going to Willis
planning mill, at the outskirts of
town, for something. Wilmington
allowed him to go, accompanying
him. When they got to the mill
Bynum sauntered around and got
a shotgun, and the first intimation
that Wilmington had of his being
armed was the fact that he was
looking down the cleaning barrels
of the gun. 1t is needless to say
that Bynum had his own way. In
stead of leaving town he went to
the house of jim Coltharp, and at
the muzzle of his gun compelled
Coltharp to furnish him with am
munition. Then he went up in
town and got his supper, and sent
word to the authorities that he
would shoot the first man that came
in his way.
Mayor Blakeslee appointed

arrest Bynum, but he was not to be
taken in so easily. While the posse

Blakeslee had been shot through
the hand, arm and scalp with large
shot, and Walter Hardin, a boy OF
Is years, Was dangerously shot lii
the face. head, neck and breast,
while two or three other parties
were more or less hurt. 1t is
thought that Hardin may die from
his wounds, as some of the shot
went near his heart. Mayor Blakes-
