The best plan Is to cast your vote squarely

A Man Who Undergoes Without Sign
Treatment That Would Kill Another.
Three reputable physicians of Mobile
recently made some experiments on the
person of a man named Lartado, ma
tive of Trinidad This man seemingly
is a wonder. He appears to be utterly
oblivious to the sensations Of heat and
cold, and, in fact, experiences no feel
ing of pain, even when undergoing
treatment that would cause an ordinary
man untold agony. He is "a years old,
is 5 feet z inches in height, weighs 100
pounds and is perfectly sound mentally
and physically.
His father was a Spaniard and his
mother an English woman. The man
ran through his neck down to and graz
ing the trachea a piece Of steel wire

which a most powerful galvanic battery
was attached and shifted from one cur
rent to another, without any perceptible
pain, but with considerable acceleration

wire into his mouth and through his
cheek in all directions, and no blood
flowed.

the lady is very proud of this nose, and
that's where all the trouble comes from
Like Mrs Mackay, she went to lead

The bargain was closed at a high figure

Do you mean to pretend for moment that it
Is pointed? The one that you put in this por-
trait would cut the canvas. refuse the pic

me to admit that nv nose is pointed. TRY TO
retouch this horror if you can. and above all
things don't give me fat nose now. am

After reading this effervescent piece

angry. Finally, however, he took page
from his album and sketched lot of
noses of all shapes and forms, including
Grecian noses, Roman noses, Roxelane
noses, Bourbon noses, parrot noses, red
noses, warty noses, thin noses, thick
noses, long and short noses, fiat noses

note:

A collection of "a pairs of antlers be-
longing to the German emperor has been
placed in the arsenal in Berlin. These
trophies were gained by the emperor
during a few days this year and last in
the woods of Buckeberg and other
places. The hunt on the 9TH and 9th of
last January at Buckeberg was very sue
cessful. The strength, endurance and
accuracy of aim of the emperor, which
enabled him to kill so many stays in a
comparatively short time, have been de-
scribed as admirable by Berlin CORE

to one of 16 points, are displayed on
tablets covered with green cloth and are
a pleasant sight to sportsmen.-London
