A CRAZY MULE.
Chows Dog to Death and Severely Wounds
 Boy.

One of the most peculiar occurrences within our knowledge transpired at the home of Mir. Wilkerson, six miles north of Palestine, on Sunday morn. ing last. Mir. Wilkerson had noticed that one of his mules had been for three or four days rubbing one of his ears against the barn, fence, etc, shak- ing his head and showing other signs of distress, but as the animal ate and drank heartily he thought little of the matter. On Sunday morning dog which was in the lot was attacked by the mule and literally chewed to death, nearly every bone in its body being broken. MT. Wilkerson's little l4-year- old son ran to the relief of the dog and the infuriated mule turned upon blm. seizing him by the calf of the left leg and inflicting a terrible wound. The animals teeth pierced entirely through the bows leg, notwithstanding 1t was protected by stout boot. The little fellows screams brought his father to the scene, but his utmost endeavors failed to release his son from the dead ly grip of his aSsailant. Efforts to prY open the animals mouth failed, and not until MT. Wilkerson struck It a heavy blow on the head with an axe did it's mouth open sufficiently to per init it's victim to be extricated. MI. Wilkerson then secured his Winchester and killed the maddened beast. The boy way brought to Forrest City on the east-bound Little Rock and Memphis train and Gas. Pittman's maidstone applied.
 The theory is that a bug of some sort had entered the mules ear and worked his way toward the brain, crazing the animal with pain. This is the most reasonable explanation to be offered for it's strange behavior, Theshydro- phobia theory vii. hardly hold in this case. as the mule displayed none of the symptoms attending that awful mala- dy save the propensity to attack with it's teeth everything in sight.

 The young man mentioned last week as possessing such staying" qualities is in better luck than we expected.

S. D. Apperson is proud of the title of a ''one-mule farmer" and we'll he may be. The following figures will ex- plain his reasons for pride: Hogs killed, 40, aggregating 5000 pounds and sold for 9 cents per pound; tomatoes sold amounting to S313.65; corn sold, S225. This does not, of course, repre- sent what was reserved for home con- sumption. Mir. Apperson knows how to farm. and does his work thoroughly and we'll, hence the results. His ex- ample could be followed with profit by large number of people ill this sec tion.
 The announcement column of THE TIMES has received an addition this week in the person of our clever friend J. ID. Davenport, who aspires to the office of.MaIshal of the incorporated town of Forrest City. Dan says he don't make any promises except that he will do his duty, and If you don't want him to do that, why don't elect him. Such an expression means volumes and his candidacy should be well-con- sidered. He has been resident of Forrest City for long time and is known to possess many sterling char acteristics. He is a stranger to fear and has no friends when duty calls him.
 Stenography is most interesting study, and we are trying to master it, under the able instruction of Mrs. G. W. Miller. She has a class number Ing seven pupils as follows: Misses Velma EvaEs and Lady Sweet and Messrs. R. J. Izard, Joe Sanders, E. l.. Vadakin. Henry Rightor and Ike Cohn. Prof Miller has class of two in Book keeping composed of Miss Hattie l.. Moseley and J. D. Davenport. Prof. and Mrs. Miller are lately from Texarkana and come highly recom- mended. We are highly pleased with the advancement we have made and hope they will teach another term when this is finished.

Closing of silver Mines and Finding of

s. F. Examiner: Captain j. A. Mel
lon, the old-time steam boatman on the
Colorado river. who for over 80 cara has
been running from Yuma through the
Grand and up to the Black cafion, is in
the city. He says 10 silver and lead
mines have been closed on the river
within year past. Lshd has fallen in
price from 81. .15 100 pounds year ago
to So Of now, go there is not much ore to
be shipped that contains lead. As for
silver alone the old conditions continue
to exist. Travel has not been heavy
either. Just now, however, two large
excursions are being outftted at Yuma
for the mouth of the Colorado, l65 miles
distant, whore many wild hogs, geese
and deer are to be found at this time of
the year.
The captain says phenomenal gold
mine has lately been opened on the Coi-

How She Amuscs Her BOYS.

A charming mother who believes that
her boys should be amused has invented
the following for her three restless little
ones: She had a carpenter make of hard
wood five dozen sticks half an inch square
and foot long. Then sho had him cut as
many cubes of various size. Sho had the
long sticks painted, one third red, another
third blue and tho remainder white. The
blocks were painted any color and some
not at all. Her boys amuso themselves
by the hour building rail fences, sheds,
barns and houses. dividing up according to
color and buying and selling to each other.

WHEN THE HAIR TURNS GRAY.
Some Hints as to Its Proper Care-Don't
Try to Color 1t.

sOmc AxlntS as 10 kt5 ETCpcT OuIo-AJohU y
Try to Color 1t.
Concerning gray hair says q writer In
tho Detroit Free Press, there seems to be
no rational theory for change in the color
of tho hair, except that of loss of pigment
color and presence of gaseous matter in the
hair shaft. This may be the result of nat
ural or artificial causes. Probably among
Americans the early age at which tho hair
blanches is due largely to nervous condi-
tions. Mental ard physical disturbances
undoubtedly often affect the secreting ap-
paratus of the hair, destroying coloring
matter, for history records instances Of the
change of hair from dark to whito in o
single night through tho cerebral excite.
ment of somo great loss, bodily or mental
anguish Neither can coloring matteH
once entirely destroyed, be restored.
Do not believe tho Quacks who pretend
to restore gray hair to tho youthful colo,
in any other way than by dyeing, for
science has not yet discovered q method by
which pigment, onco entirely exhausted,
can DO renewed. Dark hair may be bleach
cd, but no sano person could DO deceived
by tho dull, lustorless yellow Of hair SO
treated; neither does dyo deceive any one,
and woman who would look charming
with head Of white hair kept perfectly
clean and fluffy with legitimate treat
ment becomes disgusting when she re-
sorts to such 1agrantly artificial means
for keeping tho hair dark or blond.
When ones hair turns gray, attention
should be directed toward keeping it
scrupulously clean, toward keeping the
complexion delicate and flno with color,
tho eyes bright and tho expression ami
mated, for brilliant face, framed by
snowy hair, has q peculiar charm If the
hair be abundant and becomingly ar

IRON FROM AN ANCIENT SHIP.
WreckaGe From tho Long Lost Winfield

Wrsckage I'll ON tho Long-Lost Winfield
Scott.
San Francisco Examiner: The steamer
Bonita arrived from Santa Barbara yes
terday, and today she brought MP from
her hold some ponderous machinery
covered with rust and eaten deep in the
softer part OF the grain by the corrosive
action of salt water. The old iron came
from the almost forgotten wreck OF the
steamer Winfield Scott that went down
many year5 ago in little cove at the
east end of Anacapa island. The relics
from the lost snip were recovered from
the bottom OF the ocean by Captain Mac.
Guen, who ie off the coast of Senta
Barbara with the wrecking steamer san
Pedro.
The San Pedro started from San
Francisco about two months ago osten-
sibly for saving what che could from
the stranded British ship Gosiord.
which was run upon the beach and
scuttled q little over year ago, with
her cargo OF coal on fire. 1t was too
laie in the season for the wrecker to
work successfully in such an exposed
position as that in which the Gosiord
lies. and the wrecker went farther
south, where two good prizes awaited
her. One was the hull Of the ship
Golden Horn that went ashore at Santa
Rosa island years ago. and the other
was the Winfield Scott. The remains of
the latter were found by Captain Mac
Guen a few years ago. and when his
employers ordered him south with the
wrecker he headed direct for the re-.
mains of the historic old vessel.
The Winfield Scott was modern eide-
wheel steamer and was built on the At
lantic coast early in the tfties for the
San Francisco and Panama trade. In
1852 she arrived on the Pacific coast,
after successful voyage around the
Horn crowded with miners eager to get
started in the gold fields OF California.
She discharged her cargo and landed
her passengers and started south for
Panama with about 200 passengers who
we're returning to the east with tho
products OF their labors in the mines.
During a fog on the voyage down the
coaet the steamer ran On reef that
jnts out from Anscapa island. Most
of the passengers reached the ehore in
safety, but there was no shelter on the
ieland, and from the time the vessel
struck until they were rescued a storm
kept the shipwrecked people drenched to
the skin. Provisions we're scarce, and
they were about in the last stages of
starvation when the etsamer California
came along and took them on board.
The California was On her way up from
Panama, and the passengers who
escaped the wreck wers brought back.
When the San Pedro began her work
of recovery, Al years later. four fsthoms
OF water covered the wreck. The hull
was almost covered by sand, but there
was an open spaoe about the machinery,
so that the wreckera could get at the
more valuable parts of the ancient
steamer. Many large castings were
brought to the surface, end what was
recovered from the old wreck was
brought up on the steamer Bonita.

Creations OF a Novclist's Fancy Might Bo
Mistaken For Biography.

~
Mistaken For Biography.
Cadets Graham and Frazier, in Captain
Charles Kings Cadet Days, might read
lily be regarded as portraits Of real people.
although they arc probably fictitious char
hcters. There is q quality In Captain
Kings writings that encourages tho read
or to find himself or his friends in these
cadets, or in tho more mature soldiers,
who, in Captain Kings earlier work,
move and speak SO naturally and are CON-
cerned in such stirring occurrences. ID
does not seem possible that their sole uni
form should be tho blue and gold or gray
nnd gold of tho cloth binding
But two gentlemon who have recently
written to Captain King fancied that thoy
had still stronger grounds for recognizing
tho originals of characters in IA War
time Wooing'' and "Betwoen the Lines"
Ono of these correspondents, Major Abb
bott writes from Salisbury, VT, to say
that his family name, Abbott, and Incl
dents in his career as soldier during tho
war, his having becn wounded when q
lieutenant in Massachusetts regiment at
certain point on tho Potomac, and hav-
ing subsequently been in hospital near
Frederick, Md, his promotion and present
title, and even the description of his per-
sonal appearance, pedigree, etc., stand in
tho book as though tho author had simply
narrated facts drawn from tho most inter-
csting period in the real Major Abbott's
life. Tho second of tho correspondents rc-
ferrcd to writes from Fort Smith, Ark,
that Captain King s character of Falconer.
in "Betweon the Lines s'-Falconer being
dashing young southernor in tho cavalry
arm Of tho service, in love with Miss Armi-
stead of Fauquier county, Va.-was possi-
bly, suggested by tho correspondents ia
thor, who was Falconer, q dashing young
southerncr in the cavalry arm of tho serv-
ice, in love with Miss Armistcad of Fau-
quicr county, Va; that the resemblance
ceases at that point, however for there was
no want of bravery in the real Falconer's
nature, and he loved his Miss Arinistead to
some purpose.
In reply, Captain King has said that he
knew nothing of Major Abbott's career
and services when ho wrote "A Wartime
Wooing" and never dreamed there were
Falconers in Fauquier county when he
wrote "Bctween tho Lines" The coinci-
dences are very remarkable, but coirci-
dences they are, and nothing more. In "A
Wartime Wooing," by tho way, occurs
description of the forcing of tho passage Of
the RappGhannock ct fredericksburg,
and the hero of the story, Major Abbott,
Is referred to as 1.-The first mounted officer
to cross the bridge"-an affair of pontoons.
This led to letter from an officer, who
declared the description SO vivid and real
istic that it couldn't be intended for flc-
ton, and he felt compelled to say to t,SJ
author that he, and not Major Abbott,
was tho first mounted officer to cross the
bridge and thai he could prove it.-Phila-
