MRS. DAVIS BEING BOUNDED
by COwardIy Rumans, Who Are Hen
r,'s E.n1issnries.


Mrs. Eliza Davis, the lady who has
cause 10 remember Charles L. Henry as
being anything but the friend of the
''widow Of the old soldier" and who tod
the story of her treatment by Henry re-
Gently in The Sentinel. was seen again
Saturday by a representative OF The
Sentinel She hesitated about talking at
first, saying that there were reasons
other than her desire to keep out Of the
newspapers which prompted her 10 re-
main silent. she finally admitted that
the day after her interview was published
she received a call from man who de-
handed to see her proofs Of the payment
of the exOrbitsat fee TO Henry.
Mrs. Davis describes the man as of
less than the average stature, of heavy
build and Slightly gray. She convinced
him that the charge Of $50 as claimed in
the interview. had rea..y been made by
Henry. She did this by showing him the
administrator receipt and other papers
connected with the transaction. she has
also a letter from Mr.. Henry in which
he states plainly that $50 was the amount
Of his charge. This letter was written
by Henry in reply to a letter from Mrs.
Davis. She was visiting at Valparaiso
when she 4earlC1 that the estate was
sSoout ready to settle. and IL was here
That she received notice from the adj
mnistrat0r that the total cost of SET
fling up the estate amounted 10 $l35, Of
which Mr.. Henry charged $50. Mrs. Da-
Wis took the letter 10 the Office Of Judge
Crumpacker, VINO was persona, friend
of her. and was familiar with the cOndl-
ton OF the estate Neither could believe
that Henry had really charged such a
Zee. They did not consider the amount
Of work done by him in her behalf worth
haif the amount. and then MS oWn as
surance that the entire charge. including
his own fee. would amount to litt,e or no
more than he now charged for himself
led them TO believe that there was a
mistake. II was then that Mrs Davis
wrote 70 Mr. Henry, asking him If &c were
true that he had really made a charge Of
$50 against the estate. He had done
about two-hours' work, she said and she
could not believe the administrator But
Henry's rep-y came and verified me re-
port Of the administrator. He had in
deed charged her $50, after promising her
to attend 70 the business for her for a
mere nominal fee
Mrs. Davis answered the questions re-
Rarding the transaction which were asked
BY her caller and took pains 10 show him
every proof Of Henrys charge. When
she had done so she asked:

AN ACCOMMODATING DRIVER.
He Was Also superintendent, So He
Could Do rs He Pleased.

"They have a delightful way of being
accommodating in some parts OF the
South" said a gentleman who had trav-
eled considerably in that section. "Of
course it wouldn't do anywhere else in
the world. but the way those people for

a mile, and its equipment two ears, eacn
with a single mule attachment. The
official roster is condensed 10 the name OF
a single gentleman wearing a suit Of
confederate gray. who fills every posi-
ton on the line from superintendent to
driver with perfect satisfaction 10 his
patrons. and l must say with seeming
satisfaction to himself. In his capacity
of driver he was told that 1 would ike 20

him. and about ten minutes before the
appointed time the car stopped on the
corner designated. The driver set the
brake. but Il was the big-hearted super

man hailed the car from a house a little
farther on and we came to a stop. There
was a short conversation in loud tones;
then the driver carefully wound the lines
around the brake and went into the
house In about five minutes he reap
peared with a trunk on his shoulders,
having probably stopped 70 tie rope
around il inside the mouse. This trunk

we were again going as fast as the mule
could travel Arrived at the junction,
the driver was again transformed TO the
superintendent as he shook hands with
me and babe me gOOd-by. I tod him

he was the most accommodating man I
had ever met in the transportation serv-
ice He promised 10 call on me in Chi
cago this summer. and I'll be glad to see
him. too.'-ChicagO Post.

Al Around the Farm.

A writer claims that a thin coat Of
axle grease applied TO the apple trees in
the la.e fall, with a stiff brush, will keep
off mice and rabbits.

COW feed, except cOttOnseed meal, and
kept a strict account, came to the cOncu-
sion that his butter cost him 131s cents per
pound.

Liberty Center,s Heavy Loss.

TOLEDO. Oct. 16.-The business portion.
Of Liberty Center. a thriving town on the
Wabash railroad twenty-five miles from
here, was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The blaze started in the grocery
store Of Wheatley & Co., and, aided by
strong wind, spread rapidly. The local
fire department was unable TO cope with
the flames and aid that was sent by Napo-
leon arrived too late TO be Of any use.
The fire finally burned Itself out. In all
seventeen buildings were consumed, in
Guiding three dry goods houses and the
office Of the Liberty Press. The losses
viii aggregate $40, 600. with about one-third
insurance.

Novel understanding Device.

Some of the farmers of the Eifel, the
distric, that lies between the frontier Of
Belgium and the Rhine, adopt a novel
plan for soaring the birds from the wheat
\ number Of poles are set up in the corn
fields and a wire is conducted from one
10 the other just ike the telegraph posts
that are placed along our railways From
the top Of each pole there hangs a bell.
which is connected with a wire. Now in
the valley a brook runs along, with
current strong enough to turn a small
water wheel, to which the wire is fast
ened. AS the wheel goes around il jerks
the wire. and so the bells in the different
fields are set tinkling. The bells thus
mysteriOusiy rung frighten the birds from
the grain, and even excite the wonder
of men and women until they discover
the secret. This simple contrivance is
found TO serve its purpose very well.

Useful Hints for uousekeepers.

Milk, applied once a week with a soft
cloth. freshens and preserves boots and
shoes.
Canned sardines carefully Drowned on
a double-wire grdirOn, and served with
lemon. are appetizing.
The best way to discipline ones Leart
against scandal Is TO believe all stores
TO be false which ought not to be true.
The merest dash of cinnamon i'm a cup
of chocolate after ii is poured is said to
add a piquant and undistinguishable
flavor.
Canned tomatoes are more delicious
baked than stewed. About ten minutes
before removing from the oven spread
buttered crumbs over the top.
When you wish 10 use very dry bread
for any purpose, soak H. in cold milk or
water instead of having them hot. The
hot fluids seem 10 take the life out Of
dry bread and render It soggy; the cold
soaking leaves II flaslly.
To keep irons from rusting wrap them
In common brown paper and put away IN
a dry place. If they have become rusty
they may be made smooth and bright by
putting some white sand on a smooth
board and rubbing the iron over it several
times.
Children should have several hours Of
play every day i'm the open air, If posi-
be. Vigorous and spontaneous action OF
this sort is better than gymnastics; and IL
girls were allowed by social custom to
play as boys do they would cease TO be
subject to spinal deformitles.
New shoes can be worn with as much
ease as old ones II they are stuffed the
the shape Of the foot with cloth or paper
and patiently spOnged with hot water
Or If they pinch In some particular spot
a cloth wet with hot water and laid across
the place will cause immediate and lasting
relief.
Paint, however old and dry it may be,
can be removed from carpets or draper
les by a liberal use Of chloroform. Sat

for half an hour, then brush ous. The
liquid destroys the oil in the paint. leav-
