Mr. J. F. Stone, travelling agent for the
MoBNING News, writes from Waycross to
the effect that "there is not one word of
truth in the widely-published story that
Mrs. D. NJ. Crosby killed a man, some
weeks ago. de says, also, that the re-
port that Lewis Wilcox, of Beach, shot
through the heart a colored man who was
trying to force an entrance into his daugh-
ters' room, is without foundation AS far
as Mr.. Stone can learn, there was no pro
vocation for either of the alleged occur
rences, which never occurred

A second Viking ship has recently been
found in Norway, having lines and
dimensions almost identical with those of
the craft recently sailed across the At
lantic by Capt. Magnus Andersen. This
latest discovery was made at Tiedling,
near Laurvig, in Southeast Norway, and
the craft was fully two miles from the
sea. Az yet no relics or treasures have
been discovered, though at last advices
the work of disinterment was not COM
plete. The find was made by farmers
digging 2-foot ditch through a level
farm.

A New York policeman stumbled across
something extraordinary the other night.

who says the "grand old man" is his

a lord instead of being only the cousin of
a statesman.

Under the schedule of the Southern
League, the series of games played by
each club on its home grounds is extraor-
dinarily long During former seasons,
with the series much shorter, it was
found that interest in and attendance at
the games waned as the end of the series
approached But, so far, nothing of the
kind has occurred this year Notwith-
standing the number of consecutive
games, the attendance has been excep-
tionally good. This indicates that the re-
vival of the popularity of the game is
genuine, and that successful conclusion
of the season is not only possible but
probable.

Harriet Prescott Spoford in Harpers Baza
Slowly dies the long June day,
Softly rolls the earth away -
Lovelier light at length divining,
All q dream of misty hloOm
Trembling stars, and golden gloom,
Larger heavens and sweeter shining
Which is dearer, dusk or day:
Where the glory dyed the dark,
Lost in light the ruby spark,
Violet CLEAN and saffron splendor,
Melt and Jingle into one
When the long June day is done.
All the depths throb close and tender
Is il day. or is il dark?
Love, the long June day had life,
Silver showers and sunny strife
Now its rosy wrath fades DER US!
Ed vast twilight fills our eyes,
Yet what freedom OF the skies
Parts the star-Sown path before US
Is il death or is II life?

THE WHISTLING GIRL.
Fascinating, Generous, Noble Hearted,
Woman's Analysis Runs.

Fascinating, Generous, Noble Hearted, So
Woman's Analysis Runs.
A woman who has made study of the
whistling girl tells the New York Sun
that. aside from her assumption of q
maculine prerogative, she is usually u
dainty and fastidious bit of femlninity,
who loses not one iota of her womanly
charm when she Fuckers her pretty
mouth and whistles merry tune.
Rather, the roguish twinkle in her eye
challenges censure To superficial
observer she is bright, jolly, orig
inal. Know her better and she is frank,
honest, highspirited, noble-hearted,
superior to the alleged pettiness of her
sex. and, should circumstances require,
sufficiently generous to make wonderful
sacrifices for those she loves, for, being
ardent and impulsive, she loves warmly.
She may hate, too, with corresponding
enthusiasm, but not for long, for, being
tender of heart and believing always
the best of humanity, this harsher
sentiment finds no permanent home with
her.
Contrary to the general opinion, she
is rarely If ever ''tomboy," and, If she
occasionally makes use of her ability to
attract the attention of some delinquent
y
ing home at dusk, and knows that the
friendly darkness will not reveal her
secret. AS she approaches the corner she
sees the coveted car leaving her perhaps
to long and weary wait upon the side
walk. She glances around to appeal to
some possible small boy, but this con-
venient commodity fails to appear.
Steadily the car is receding. Can she
be blamed If she for moment forgets
that utility should weigh lightly in her
vocal scale? And at last, when she
triumphantly enters the car, no one
would suppose that those demure lips
had uttered that shrill and effective sig
nal.
Altogether, although inclined to be
willful and rebellious at times land who
admires dull perfectlonO she is girl
fashioned after a free ideal. Is she to
have her vocal freedom restrained by a
cruel conventionality which forbids her
to enliven her own home with pretty,
birdlike music, while at the same time it
not only tolerates, but often pretends to
admire the vocalist next door who
seeks to entertain the entire neighbor-
hood at eventide by series of wailing
notes and soaring crescendos?. The
whistling girl abruptly unpuckers her
rosy lips to show her pretty teeth in a
dazzling smile as she flashes upon you a
newer version of her grandmother's re-
buke:
Girls that whistle and hens that crow
Make their way wherever they CO."

The Caunibal Tree.

The cannibal tree of Australia grows
in the form of gigantic pineapple, sell
dom reaching height exceeding 10 or
II feet. Its height, however, is not
criterion to its diameter, as the reader
will imagine when told that one 8 feet
in height may be 5 feet Through at the
base. The ''leaves" resemble broad
planks and are frequently 10 feet long,
20 inches broad and II feet thick at the
base. These board like leaves all put
out at the top and hang down SO as to
form sort of an umbrella around the
stem. Upon the apex of the cone around
which these leaves concentrate are two
concave figures, resembling dinner
plates, one above the other. These are
constantly filled with an intoxicating
honey. A bird may light upon the edge
OF these or a man or an animal may
walk up the leaves to indulge in stolen
sweets, but death is the penalty for such
rashness. The instant the honey rccep-
tacles are touched the leaves close like
trap and squeeze the life out Of the
meddler. After while the leaves will
relax their vice like grasp, the horrld
tentacIes will slowly unfold and nature
has set her trap for another victim.

Physicians in New York are inter-
ested in the case of Miss Annie Richard
son Baldwin, who died on Friday from a
combination of two rare diseases,
syringomyela md acromegaly. Each
disease is rare, and it is said that the
combination was never before known.
Acromegaly is a weird disease for which
neither cause nor remedy has been dis
covered. One of Miss Baldwin's physi-
clans says of the disease: "It affects the
head, hands and feet in such measure
as to make them grow to gigantic size,
while the body itself retains its normal
conditions. Persons suffering from the
disease present grotesque appearance
Their bones, flesh, nails, ears, chins
noses, fingers and toes attain often twice
their ordinary size. Many people with
this ailment have found their way into
museums. There is no pain, and the dis
ease is not necessarily fatal" The other
disease affects the spinal cord in such a
way that the patient loses entirely the
sensation of pain and temperature,
though the sense of touch is not affected
That two such terrible yet grotesque
diseases should attack one person is GER
tainly remarkable enough to excite the
interest Of either physicians or laymen,

Colonel John Jacob Williams was born in
Rockingham county, Virginia, June IA,
17'9, the date of his birth bcng recorded in
an old family biole in his fathers hand
writing. He moved from Virginia to Ken
lucky in the year 1872, while General Jack

Orleans In his younger days Colonel
Williams knocked around the world a good
deal ilatboating steamboating and
plotting on the lower Mississippi
He also spent good many
years farming. He moved to Council BLUFFS
freightng from Omaha TO Denver, until his
teams were captured by the Indians. He
then moved to Harrison county, Iowa, pur-
chased a quarter section of land near Logan
and opened and improved a good farm, which
he still retains He lives in town, takes the
world easy and cnjoyes himself, daily engag
ing IN many harmless sports with the''boys."
He is as straight as an Indian, five feet

ease and agility of man of 40. The
colonel has never been married His
parents, brothers and sisters passed away

habits have always been regular; he retires

A Hard Rimes storY.

A man enteredm pawnbroker's shop in
the Bowery, says New York paper,
and laying down $50 bill asked if he
could be accommodated with 81 on it.
The pawnbroker was an excellent Judge
of money, and he saw at once that the
bill was genuine. So he turned and
said to the stranger, showing the bill
toward him as he spoke, that he was in
no mood for nonsense. But the stranger,
showing the bill back, rejoined in earn
est tones that he meant business; that
he couldn't get any conductor on horse
car To change the bill: that he had
already been put of three cars; that his
boots were awful tight, and that unless
he could get 81 on the bill he would be
compelled TO walk to the Battery. Well,
the pawnbroker couldn't but feel that
the stranger meant what he said. So he
took up the $50 bill, toyed with it few
moments, and then said to him: well,
my friend, I'd like TO accommodate you,
but owing to the financial stringency /
can only give you 10 cents.
