No other store in Richmond or in the

A Startling Coincidence.

In the year 1864, on Dec 5, the Eng.
iish ship Menai was crossing the Eng.
lish channel when she was capsized by
gale. Of tie eighty-one passengers on
board but one was saved, and his name
was Hugh Williams. On the same day
of the month, in the year 1885, pleas
ure yacht was wrecked on the coast of
the Isle of Man There were sixty per
sons on the boat, among them one Hugh
Williams and his family. Of the three
score none but old Hugh Williams sur
vived the shock.
On the 5th day of August, 1920, a
picn:cking party on the Thames were
run down by coal barge, There were
tN.rlfs,5 nvo .. the picnickers, most o:
them being children under twelve years
of age. Little Hugh Williams, a visitor
from Liverpool, only five years old, was
the only cna of the merry party th;.t
lived to tell the tale of the disaster.
Now comes the most singular part Of
this singular story. On Aug. 10, 1889, a
Leeds coal barger with nine men foun-
dered off the coast of Scotland. Two of
these men, both Hugh Williamses, al
uncle and nephew, were rescued by some
fishermen, and were the only men of the
crew who survived the calamity. Every
fact recorded above can be substan5i-

Woman. Endurance of Pain.

"Women endure painful surgical op
erations much better than do men," said
DR.. L. n. Britton at the Southern yes
terday. "Men will receive frightful
wounds without fiinching, then act like
babies at the sight of the surgeons knife
and needle AS rule the most robust
nations bear pain with less fortitude
than those noted for effeminacy. A ma
tive of Bengal will look placidly on
while you saw off his leg, while your
bold Britisher must have an opiate be-
fore getting tooth pulled.
'sThe MeMcans and Cubans endure
pain much better than DO the Ameri-
cans, while a Turk will let a surgeon
saw him to pieces without raising half
the disturbance that a big German
soldier will over the setting of q broken
bone. But for a genuine stole in the
matter of patient long suffering, COM
mend me to an Indian who has not been
tainted with the white mans civiliza-
ton. There is no torture human in
genuity can devise that will break his
nerve. st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
