COUNT lTo,s HEROIC WIFE.
Dragged by the Hair. She Would Not BE
tray Her Lover.

OF Count to- tho distinguished Japa-
nese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold gives
this interesting incident: 81 sat at table
with the ex-premier and his wife and
children. The countess, quiet, gentle,
mothorly and wearing spectacles, cary
ing the tai and the kamo with such
matronly serenity, had yet history of
romance and devotion which could
make tho widest fictionist's fortune.
Long ago in those dark and bloody
days when the minister was her lover
and fugitive from his enemies there
came a time when they had tracked
him to her house and had chosen band
of Soshis to assassinate him. The noise
OF their clogs and the rattling of their
scabbards were heard, and the count,
trapped like stag in his mountain
pleasance, drew his Bizen blade and
prepared to die as Japanese lord should
amid circle of dead foes. But while
he murmured 'Saganore' and knitted
his fingers around the shark skin hilt of
his sword that brave lady whose guest
was whispered: DO not die. There is
hope still. Upon which she removed
q the hibachi, or firebox, over which they
were sitting, and lifting up the mating
and planks beneath induced her lover to
conceal himself in the hollow space
which exists under the floor of all jap
anese homes. Tho murderers broke into
the room, n ferocious band, just as tho
firebox had been replaced, and the
countess had assumed position Of non
chalance.
"They demanded their victim, and
when she protested against their intru-
sion and bade them search If they
wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her
around the apartment by her long,
beautiful black hair, now touched with
silver, and grievously maltreated her,
but could not shake her resolute fid city.
Thanks to this, Count Ito, the hero Of
many another strange adventure, es-
capped from the chief peril Of his career
and has lived to give his country new
constitution and to be one of the fore
most and best respected statesmen Of
modern Japan"

THE MYSTERIOUS HAYsEED.
He Didn't Talk Much, but When He Did
lie Frightened the Crook.

IL was while Tom Byrnes was super
intendent Of police that one day mid
die aged man walked into popular
Greenwich street restaurant and called
for a broiled beefsteak. Men do that ev-
cry day, but this particular man wore
long hair, which was brushed behind
his ears, and had smooth face, save a
little tuft of chin whislSer He was
dressed in gray suit and carried car
pet satchel.
There was no question that the man
was from tho "rooral destrict," for ono
could almost see tho hayseed in his un-
shorn locks, and his pockets were appar-
emily bulging with corn hwks. Tho
stranger had no more than 'ci him
self when a well dressed, Gmutt looking
young man entered and took u scat ut
the same table. He also ordered- steak.
In due time they were served. Tho
countryman went to work industriously
and was soon enjoying his meal. Not so
his vis-a-vis. The young man COM
planned that his meat was tough--tough
as sole leather.
"How's yours, stranger?" he asked.
"Mine's all right, was the reply,
with a nasal twang.
But try as he would the young fellow
couldn't induce the other to talk with
him. Finally he said it was n shame to
serve such steak. He declared he be-
lioved the cook had wiped the floor with
it, it was so full of grit.
The stranger looked up, and fixing a
piercing gray eye on the young man
quietly but significantly remarked:
"If Byrnes knew you were down
here, you would be eating worse steak
than that"
The young fellow turned pale and
dropped his jaw, also his knife and fork.
His appetite seemed to have suddenly
left him. He called for his check, paid
it and left the restaurant in hurry.

afterward for swindling man with a

Ex-senator Henry l.. Dawes, the
chairman of tho Indian commission, says
that the town site question in the Indian
Territory has become one of great i'm
portance. There are now about 800, 900
white people in the Indian Territory.
They have built up towns, but are mere
tenants at sufferance, without particle
Of title to the lands ON which they built.
The Indian courts are closed against
them, as are the Indian schools to their
children, 10000 of whom have no other
opportunity for schooling, excepting
those whose parents are able to hire pri-
vate teachers. They have no voice in the
governments Of these five nations, nor a
police officer to protect them or their
property against violence.
1t will be the object of the commits
sion, first, to obtain such solution Of
the town site question that those who
have built up these towns and invested
large sums in costly buildings and ex-
pensive stores and trading places may
have some title to the ground upon
which the structures stand and some
voice in their government, and, secondly,
to see that the vast and valuable terri
tory shall be held either according to
the original title, for all Indians equal
", or shall be allotted in severalty to
them, so that each may hold his own
share in fee

HORSE BLOCKS.
Those Were Made Oat Of Safes That Had
Been Robbed.

Not long ago a Star writer had occa-
sion to be in western Missouri. just
porth Of Kansas City about 12 miles
Is the little town of ParSville. It is built
up on the two sides of valley which
opens against the broad Missouri, and
the hamlet might contain perhaps so
houses. Among other matters, however,
Il shelters seminary of considerable
local fame which teaches both boys and
girls the higher branches OF an educa-
ton, but with which just now we have
nothing to do. The main street of the
village runs along the bottom Of the
valley at right angles with tho Missouri
river.
The Star writer was sitting In front
Of one of the stores smoking a very bad
cigar OF local origin and conversing with
the merchant who had sold it. 1t was
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
many of the country people were COM
ing into town. A country girl of the re-
gion came cantering up on bareback
horse and slid off on what, now that
The Star mans attention was called to
1t, he noticed was queer sort of horse
block.
1t was nothing more or less than an
old rusty safe Of considerable size 1t
had apparently lain there for years and
when examined disclosed suspicious
looking hole in one side, clearly the
work of explosives. AT this point the
attention of the investigator from the
east was called to two other safes, sim
ilarly exploded and also lying ON their
sides in the street and doing duty as
horse blocks.
''How about these safes?" asked The
Star man Of the Parkville merchant
"What story goes with them?"
"Nuthin much of q story" remarked
the Parkville merchant, helping him
self to thoughtful chew of tobacco.
"Them safes have laid right thar where
you all see 'em since '73. They wuz
dragged out there and busted by Guam
trell and Jess and Frank James and the
Younger brothers, along with the rest Of
Quantrell's gang. They come chargin
down the street one day in June and
TUX the town in about minute and
half and then went fur them safes,
Money wuz mighty popular with Guam
trell and the James boys, and they usu-
ally went arter all they heard Of \"
'How much did they get from the
safest"
''I dunno how much they got from
them on t'other side Of the street." said
the Parlkville man. "They hunted So,
500 out'n mine" and here he pointed
sadly at tho safe nearest to him, the one
on which the young rustic had just
alighted.
"Was that safe yours?" was asked
"Yes," he answered "I KEEP store
then right whar I do now and jest as
do now"
"Why haven't you removed the
safes?''
"What's the use?" observed the Park
vile man. "They amt in nobody's
way, and they do first rate fur hoss
blocks. Nuther thing, we amt got no
carts nor tackle strong enough to move
'em nohow. So we jest let 'em go as

ent writes ON the subject: "The word

may be derived from the Welsh it is
more probable that it is made from the
initial letters Of the words for day.
The word tip originated, it is said, in
that way. The story goes that in an old
time English tavern a receptacle for

place over which appeared the legend,

How to Make n New Face.

Skin removing for Identifying pur-
poses is having agreat vogue among the
women who can afford it. At present
the price for making over the face of q
woman under 90 is $50. An older sub
ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay
800. The operation confines one to her
room for five days and is somewhat
painful, but not unbearably SO, as the
skin removing paste contains cocaine to
numb tho surface it rests upon. An odd
thing is that il you have your wrinkles
removed before you are really an old
woman they will come again as you ad-
vance to the wrinkled age, but if you
have them removed after you are as
wrinlSled as you are ever likely to be
they do not return. And danger of
the operation, SO far as its complete
success goes, is that you will move your
face while the paste is getting in its
deadly work. If you do, wrinkle
forms and cannot be got rid of. Liter
ally you must bear the pain with an alb
solutely placid countenance. Even q
grin is detrimental. - Philadelphia

Carriages at Wholesale Prices.

Extract from letter Of T. B. Terry the
we'll known and popular writer and con-
tributor for the Practical Farmer, of
Philadelphia.
He says:-Some weeks ago | noticed
the advertisement IN P. F. of the Alii-
ance Carriage Co., of Cincinnati Ohio.
We want light spring wagon to run
around with, one that will carry 1000
pounds, if necessary, and that has two
seats. We want good one, the best
made. Our old one began to get weak
and we sold it for what it would bring.
So l wrote the Alliance Co. for cata-
logue and prices for cash. They sent
me a catalogue with pictures and full
descriptions of every kind of carriage
and wagon l ever heard of. And the
price of each was plainly put down.
Now, they claim, you notice, to sell to
us farmers at factory prices, that is as
cheap as they would to dealers. l did
not know that this was the case of
course, only as l took their word for it.
But happen to have proof of it now,
which may be interesting. A friend of
ours who deals in carriages said that be
thought he could get us a wagon and de-
lever it to us, paying the freight, at the
price they quoted, and make something
besides. So he tried it. was Interested
in the result and think some of my read
ers will be. He found he could not buy
the wagon for one cent less than their
regular printed price that they had sent
to me. This firm seems to be doing the
square thing with us farmers who pay
cash. We shall buy wagon from them
when we get around to 1t.

Better goods Can be put up, as more

| put up 2,700 three pound cans of
tomatoes last season, and sold every can
in Newberry county. and could not
supply the demand. The farm, think,
is the proper place for the cannery.
The time for canning is generally a
leisure one with the farmer. He can
work up his surplus fruits and vege-
ia bles with his own help, not only Civ
ing work to his laborers at time when
nothing can be done on his farm, but
saving the produce that would other
wise be wasted, and making profit for
himself, besides supplying his table
with fruits and vegetables during the
winter and early spring when he would
be unable to obtain them from his
garden and orchard"
