THE RGGs WERE BROKEN.
A Young Man Ruins His New Spring
suit.

All men and all OF the women who
don't use then. have wondered what
kind Of things are in those mysteri-
Gus small, black. silk bags that are
carried by many OF the ladies. No.
Not all OF the men wonder, for 3
young man found on SATURDAY
A welldressed lady was waiting
for train on the mems side of the
waiting room in Broad street station.
She had in her possession q newspa-
per and one Of the black silk bags re-
ferred to, which she handled very
daintily. TIE seats on both sides were
occupied
Suddenly she espied i friend at the
news stand and started toEard her,
carrying the bag. Then 1t suddenly
occurred to her that some one might
take her seat, so she went back and
laid the bag carefully down, put the
newspaper on top OF 1t, then went
over to her friend, and they became
engaged in conversation.
In about ten minutes a very nice
looking young man, with rather ab-
sent look on his face, entered the
waiting room. He wore spring suit
of very light shade of gray He
walked over and sat quietly down IN
the seat the lady had vacated and
commenced To read newspaper that
be took from his pocket
Five minutes later the owner of the
Of the bag finished her little chat, and
went to resume her seat.
She discovered the man sitting on
her property from afar, and rushed
frantically up to him and cried out
sect up from that seat, quick
You're sitting on my eggsi Oh! you
have broken them all, and see, they
are running down onto the floor"
The young man jumped up as
though he had had pin stuck into
him. His trousers were a horrible
mass Of yellow and watery slime, but
he did not know that, for it had not
yet soaked through.
"My dear madam" he exclaimed,
II am very sorry for what | have
done. did not notice the bag, and
il you will tell me how much they are
worth l will gladly pay for the eggs. =
As the gentleman turned to inspect
the damage done the lady caught
sight Of the seat of his trousers and
said hastily
''Neyer mind, sir, / have not time
TO wait l must hurry to catch my
train.
She scurried out through the doc
and disappeared lii the crowd before
the young man could make any fur
taer apologies, so he walked down the
steps toward the street When he hac
chance to inspect his trousers his
recording angel must have been KEEP
busy for some time.-Press.

Cows with Hollow Tail.

Owners of cows will do well to cut
this out and paste it up SO it may
be referred to. In a number of in
stances COWS in this locality have
become Frustrated, and once down
cannot get up, even with aid. Doc
toring with physic and other reme-
dies seems to do no good. Examine
the end of the cows tail and if a por-
ton of the tail bone is gone she has
the "hollow tail' which renders her
so weak in the back and loins that
it is an imp,ssibility for her to get
o n her feet. The remedy is simple:
Split the end of the tail 4 inches
and fill the cut thus made full of a
mixture of black pepper and salt ;
wrap a rag around the cut place and
tie on so it cannot come off; then
saturate the rag thoroughly with
turpentine and in two days or less
the cow will get up. This has been
thu experience of several persons in
this immediate vicinity.
1t may be well to add that the
hollow horn is nearly always con,
temporaneous with the hollow tail.
If the cows horns are cold bore
them with a small gimlet, and
through a straw OF a goose quill
blow in salt water, also apply a little
turpentine at base ofhorn. Always
bore the horn underneath and about
one inch from the cows head.

Mrs. A.. VI. Atkinson Dead,

Mrs. Anna May Atkinson, laugh
ter of Albert White, of this county,
and a sister of the editor of the LED
GER, died at the National Temper
ance Hospital in Chicago on May
%, 1898. Mrs. Atkinson had been
suffering for years, and a week ago
she underwent a dangerous surgical
operation. Saturday night when her
brother and his wife left her in Chi
cago she was thought to be out of dan
ger, but on Monday she began sink
ing and died from the effects of the
operation. Mrs. Atkinson was a
member of the Presbyterian church,
was 81 years old and leaves a daugh-
ter, Jane Catherine, aged II. Her
husband, DR.. Joseph Atkinson, died
about nine years ago. The deceased
had been i'll and suffered terribly for
years, but her physicians n faml-
ly had hoped she would survive the
operation and recover, but it was
not to be and she passed away with
an abiding faith in the Lord.
The funeral of Mrs. Anna May
Atkinson took place from the resi-
dence of her brother, R. M. White,
in this city yesterday morning. The
services were conducted by Rev. A.
E. Rogers, pastor of the Promenade
street Baptist church. The pail
bearers were J. G.. Trimble, Wood

WASHINGTON SCHOOL HOUSE, May
23.-Mrs. JohnCowan, who has been
on the sick list for a number of days,
is no better.
Garter Mallory and family visited
friends near Rowena last week.
Uncle Sammie Turner, of Mexico,
spent last Sunday in this neighbor-
hood. His health and ability to get
around r very good, indeed, for a
man of his age.
H. o. Craig will shortly leave for
Chicago with an extra lot of saddle
horses. They are good animals and
should bring at least fair prices.
Ike MCGOWAN also has a fine saddle
gelding that he would sell at reason
able figures.
Jas. Reynolds has a colt that is a
fine looking youngster. 1t was sired
by Lighthall.
John Cowan has several acres OF
corn up. 1t can be e clear across
the field. While he is ahead If the
rest yet nearly everyone has some
corn planted and all are at work.
Anyone who has observed the
wheat crop in this vicinity will be
forced to acknowledge the expedien.
cy of using some kind of a fertilizer.
The difference in the yield certainly
compensates for the extra cost. II
is only a matter of time until every
farmer will use some kind of a fer.
%tilizer.
Our Anti Horse Thief Society is 0
strong association. Its members say
they have several bad charac.

S.ma Hints for June Weddings.

If you want to be fashiOnably mar
ried choose Thursday at high noon or
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The bou-
quet must be white, either of orange
blossoms white orchids or white roses.
The wedding party, bridegroom and
best man excepted, assemblies in the
waiting room Of the church, the latter
two placing themselves at the clegy-
mans left. Upon the clergyman en-
tering the chancel the party moves up
the aisle in the following ordr: Ushers
two by two, bridesmaids two by two,
the maid of honor, the bride with
her father. Upon reaching the al
tar ushers file to the left, brides
maids to the right, the bridegroom
steps down and leads the bride to
her place. The best nan has charge
of the ring, whilst the maid of honor
takes charge of the BRIDES glove
and bouquet. The maid of honor ad.
iusts the brides veil. This should be
worn over the face before the ceremo-
nv and thrown back afterwards. This
is the only correct rule. The process
sion is reversed going back. The train
is from / "a to 2 IA yards long; it
should be perfectly plain. The veil
should be as long as the train.
Intending brfdegrooms would do
well to call at J. Bernhardt & Co.'s,
south side, and see their stock Of cloth
ing, furnishings and hats before going
elsewhere. They keep the nobbiest
goods and are up with the prevailing
STYLES, whilst their prices range to suit
any mans pocket. We solicit a call
from you and know we can please you
because we have the goods.

what to furnish, told his customer
he was just cut but would have them

of the wealthiest and most substan-
tial men in Audrain county and owns
large real estate interests in and

resign his position in the drug store

our most active and energetic young

his family from the business and So
cial circles of the city buttake pleas
ure in welcoming back from Tennes-
see his brother-in-law, Walter Orig
Ter. The Martinsburg coal is of the
very best grade and there is a great
demand for 1t. We predict splendid
financial success for this company
under the management of Mr.. Dun
can,
