A STORY FOR LITTLE BOYS.
Showing Them the Danger of Pooling
With a Cows Tail.

indianapolis journal: Willie Wild
dleton was bad, cruel boy. He pulled
his little sisters hair until she cried:
he tied tin cans to the tails Of all the
dogs in the neighborhood, and his cruel
Stoning of Mrs. Thompson's cat was a
matter of current history in his Sabbath
school class.
Willie was driving home the family
COW one evening and accelerating her
progress by fendishly twisting her TAIL
To his surprise the patient beast turned
toward him and spoke. What would
you do, ungrateful boy, for cream for
your coffee, for butter for your bread,
were it not for me, whom you torture
so cruelly?" said she.
If the COW had not said whom
perhaps little Willie might have been
converted then and there, as the wicked
boys used to be in the books of long
ago. But when a common brindle
COW excelled him in grammar, he be
came wrathful. So he gave her tai
another twist and jeeringly said: wy
we'd git another COW, Of course. Glong
there!' Then poor, suffering bOSsy
who found that kindness and expostu
lation were of no avail, kicked little
Willie Middleton half way across the
pasture, and into a bed of thistles
where he lay weeping bitterly.
Mora-Any COW with horse sense
would have kicked him first, and ar
gued with him afterward.

A "THRIFTY" POLICEMAN.
He Accumulates Il Fortune on $1,000
Year

New York, July 1.-The heirs of the
late ward detective, Thomas Moran,
who accumulated fortune of more
than 100000 while serving under the
late Police Captain Mcdonald, Of the
Prince street station, are suuabbling
over his property and the legal con-
test will soon come up before Surro-
gate Ransom for settlement
1t may seem strange to some that
Detective Moran could gather together
a handsome fortune like that during
twenty years service in the police de-
partment on Il SALARY of $1,000 Il year
His friends, however, say he was
very thrifty and made most of his
money in fortunate real estate specu-
lations.' There is an angel, some per-
sons say, who watches over the real
estate speculltions of members of the
police force, and they are always sure
winners.
Moran's only relatives in this city
were nephews and nieces-Ellcn, VIII
liam, Catherine, John, Sarah and
Theresa Brennan. They retained ex-
Assistant District Attorney John w.
Golf to look out for their interests.
1t was known Detective Moran had
a brother, sister and stcpbrother some
where i'll this country. 1t was aSccr-
tanned that the half brother, Edward
Moran, was serving in the United
States army land was stationed ut
Pensacola, Fla.
He came on here and Il claim was
filed for the estate on behalf of himself
and the other relatives of the deceased
here and in Ireland. Detective Moran's
father was married twice, and he left
q lot of relatives in county Lcitrim,
Ireland They all put in claims for 4
portion of the estate.
The sister of the detective, Mrs. Ellen
Garnhart, was found in Illinois, and
she got Lawyer Thomas G.. PearSall,
of Brooklyn, to file claim for the en-
tire estate. AS the full brother of the
deceased could not be found she dcclar-
ed that she, as his nearest living rela-
tive, was entitled to all his property.
Some interesting legal points will
have to be settled in the case, as Moran
died intestatc. The statutes provide
that the heirs of full blood shall be
given precedence, and that, the contest
ants being equal, priority shall be given
TO the man over the woman. The at
torncy of Edward Moran contends that
his client is a full blood relation Of the
detective, while the counsel for Mrs.
Garnhart denies this.

Leigh French, of Minneapolis, at the
parsonage of the Presbyterian church
in New Albany, Ind. They left over
the Monon for Chicago.
The marriage is the elimination of
singularly romantic love story, which
has attracted much public attention.
Miss Culbertson is the daughter of the
late w. w. Cu1bertSon, the New Albany
millionaire. French, the rather diSSo-
lutte son of Minneapolis physician,
had been her sutton before the death
of her father, who greatly objected to
the young man. After his death a
codicn to his will was found which
sought to prevent her marriage to
French by providing that if she married
him within 10 years she would forfeit
her share OF the estate, about $780,
900. Her share was left in the care of
trustees, who were the other heirs and
who We're also to pay her the income
for 10 years. If she married without
consent Of the trustees her share was
to revert to the other heirs. Miss
Culbertson and French ceased to meet
each other, and the affair was apparent
ly broken off. Miss Culbertson became
engaged, with the consent of the trus-
tees, to Capt. Donald Mckay, an Eng
lish army officer. In February, last
Miss Culbertson filed suit at New AL
bany to set aside the codicil affecting
her on the ground of undue influence
being exerted upon her father. 1t was
understood that no opposition was to
be made to this suit, which was set for
trial June 6. Meanwhile Miss gilbert
sou met French again at Chicago, and
the old love was revived. She broke
off her match with her British suitor
and announced her purpose to marry
French. Her family tried in vain to
,dissuade her. She went to New Albany
in June to be present when her suit re-
garding the will should come up.
French followed her, stopping at the
Louisville hotel. Her family, angered
by her course, determined to make
their opposition to the suit real, and the
case when called was continued until
fall. Meanwhile Miss Culbertson was
left absolutely without means. Moth
ing daunted by the opposition of her
people. she has now carried out her
purpose and put her fortune in jeop-
ardy by marrying the man she loved.
French is about 80 years old, and while
in France several years ago married
u woman of that city, from whom,
however, he was soon divorced.

Il know from reading that Budhists

to speak aloud, and never mention it,
SC 1 was surprised a little later when

SOMETHING IN THE EYE.
Methods by Which Foreign Particles
Can Be Got Rid Of.

Hygiene Doctor: Never needlessly
but when necessary wear plain glasses
or goggles. When experimenting with
chemicals always turn the mouth of
the tube or bottle away from the face
and eyes. Whenever an eye is injured
severely place the patient Immediately
in a dark room and under the care of
a skilled physician, whose directions
must be implicitly followed. The for
eign bodies may be solids, as sand,
cinders, hair, dirt, ETC., lime, acids or
alkalies. Don't rub the eyes avoid sud
den glares Of light, never look directly
at the sun.
To remove the solid particles from
under the lids it is sufficient to pull
the lid away from the eye and to wipe
the body with a piece of moist paper
or the corner of a handkerchief; if it
is under the upper lid grasp the lid
firmly between the thumb and finger,
life it from the eyeball and draw it
down over the lower lid, and then al
low it to slide slowly back to its ma
tural position. The foreign body will
be scraped off on the lashes. The oper-
alton may be repeated several times.
Or lift the lid from the eyeball, allow
the tears to accumulate beneath the
lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or
place in the eye a few grains of flax
Are you insured? If not, now Is the
time to provide yourself and family with
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy as an in
surance against any serious result from
am attack of bowel complaint during
the summer months. 1t is almost GER
tain to be needed AMI should be procur-
ed at once No other remedy can take

MOORISH PALACE.
One of the Wonders of Midway Worth
All They Charge to See 1t.

All They Charge to See 1t.
In the Moorish palace, on Midway
plaisance. at the worlds fair, visitors
are required to keep their wits about
them. The place is filled with Illusions
which try the temper of the unwary.
In the building are corners in which
the mind is puzzled On the first floor
is the Alhambra palace. 1t does not
occupy more than forty square feet,
yet by an arrangement of mirrors it
looks many times as large. The visitor
who knows it all marches boldly into
the palace and usually comes slap up
against mirror before he finds out
that he has a few things yet to mas
ter.
The entrance is through a palm gar
den, where refreshments are served.
A narrow stairway leads out of the
palace garden to Il little room where,
with crowding, ten people can sand.
1t is walled by mirrors and the rehec-
tons are increased many times. When
half a dozen people egt in the place
the reflection produced gives the idea
that the room is very large and filled
with people.
On the second floor are the wax
works. They were all made in Paris
and brought here for exhibition. The
collection consists Of sixty groups. 1t
embraces all of the European rulers
and number of wellknown Ameri-
cans. In addition there are many fig
ures placed about which Oftentimcs
produce amusing mistakes.
Among the pulling things which are
shown is one called the illusion he
atre." 1t is in a separate room, which
during the performance, is made per-
fectly dark. The presiding genius is
Helene Kitzing. She first appears as
a bust of Galatea. The legend Of Pyg-
malion is taken up and she turns into
life, the cold stony gaze softening into
the lustrouS eyes of beautiful woman.
The illusion is SO perfect when she is
finally turned into stone again that q
visitor from the rural districts said
yesterday: cts a shame, b'gosh"' In
the next illusion Miss Hitting floats in
the air, apparently without any sup
port. She twists and turns around and
has her feet in the air one moment and
her head the next blow it is done is
the mystery, and the rural visitor de-
clared that he would rather be able to
do that than have he secret of fattening
hogs for he market Another pretty
illusion is he unfolding and blooming
of the lotus flower.

The glass manufacturers, like the iron
and steel men,, complain of dull trade
and many demand Il reduction. By the
time the conference Is held, however,
things may be changed and the old

not seem probable. The manufacturers
are making general wall on account
of the monetry stringency which will
be heard in the conference.

at Augusta Wiped Out.
Battle Greek, Mich, June 29.-The
village of Augusta, located in the north
western part of Calhoun county, and

efforts the flames could not be subdued.
The fire destroyed all the buildings on
