A fariat Wade of Whisker..

"Eat En- Up Blaisdell, who came to
Montana from the Texas Panhandle three
yeas ago, killed Il maa on Tongue River,
below Miles City, three weeks ago under
peculiar circumstances, Little is known
about EAT En- Ups early life. He
himself does not know where he was
born. He driftei to Texas in the early
'70s, then attached himself to a cattle
outfit, and finally found himself roping
steers in the Panhandle. While engaged
in this work he took il notion to make a
lariat from the whIskers of the men in
the outfit. He started with his own and
began piecing cut the coil with the vol
untary contributions of his comrades. A
hair lariat is the pride of the cowboy,
but a lariat made from the whiskers aud
locks OF friends is something novel even
an an outfit of cowboys, where the work
of eccentric minds Is always being dis
played in dress and equipment with
almost as much interest as parents dis
play in the growth of their children.
When the round up and drive were over
the rope was still too short to be of ser
vice. Then ''Eat En- Up got drunk,
broke away from the outfit ami travelled
to the north. He carried his rope along
with his sIicber, quirk and champs, in a
cheap trunk. Finally he hired out to
the 90 ranch in Montana. Here his
TOpe began to grow again. But it was
noticed that all the hair in the lariat was
either black or brown. Somebody asked
"Eat En- Up why he did not get some
red hair. "Eat En- Up" declared that
it was all his mistake, but afterward ex-
planned his seeming negligence by a
careful reminiscent reckoning which
convinced him that there had been no
fed-haired men associated with him in
his work on the range3 There was at
the time of this conversation a man with
q flaming beard living in a ranch near
one of the dry forks of the Tongue.
Nobody in EAT EN- Ups outfit knew
whether the fellow would part with what
was without doubt the only bright thing
in his life but Eat En- Up" determined
10 make the ride to the man rancl while
hunting a bunch Of steers and get those
whiskers by hook or crook. While on
the way "'Ett En- Up" drank heavily,
and wlen be reached the ranch he insol-
emily demanded the beard. The rancher,
frightened at the bell Ierent attitude of
his strange visitor, tried to close the door
of the cabin, but Eat EN- Up" burst 10
upon him. There was a fight in which
the raucher was shot. Then ''Elt En-
Up clipped the beard an returned rel

Twice in his experiences has John B,
O%bermeyer, of Chicago, owed his life to
the practice of carrying papers in his in
side pocket. The first time was on a
battlefield in the Civil War. Then the
muster roll of mis- company ofthe Eleventh
Pennsylvania Volunteers stopped a
musket ball fired at random from the
enemy's liues.
The second time was on Monday, when
a bullet from u thirty eight caIibre re-
%golser, fired only six feet distant, aad
aimed deliberately at his breast, failed
to penetrate an envelope filled with bank
ILLS aud a pass book in his inside breast
pocket. After this second event Mr..
Obermeyer, 1t is said, looked coolly at
the would be assassin and called him a
coward and invited him to shoot a
second time, but the latter stood for a
moment irresolute, then, with his hand
trembling, laid his revolver on the desk
and surrendered to the police. -Phila-

TO demand that whoever bears our banner

Death From Grief.

The well-known but little understood
phenomenon of severe mental distress or
fright sometimes producing physical dis
ease, and occasionally even death, has
recently been made a subject of close
study by DR.. G. Bassi, including
especially a number of observations GA
animals which apparently died in conse-
quence OF capture. The results of these
Investigations, as publi7hed in Galllard's
Medical Journal, refer to birds, moles,
and a dog which had succumbed to con
ditions believed by DR.. Blssi to resemble
those known among human beings as
acute nostalgia and a "broken heart"
The post-mortem examinations In these
cases lead DR.. Bassi to suggest the theory
that the nervous disturbance interfere
with the due nutrition of the tissue!
IN such a way as to give rise to the for.
nation of toxic substances-probably
ptomaines-which then set up acute de.
generation of the parenchymatous ele-
ments similar to that which occurs in
consequence of the action of certain
poisonous substances, such as ~phosphor-
rs, or to that met with in certain infec ,
tious diseases. New York Tribune.
