A CURIOUS LOVE STORY.

| 1t All Began With a Punch In the
Nose and Ended Happily.
| From the Athens (Ga.) News.
Here's a curious story of love and court
| ship. About two years ago a young gen.
| tleman of this city. while in Savannah,
got into a street car with a heavy UNI
brella under his arm. Like a great many
other careless people he held it at dan
gerous angle, with the point sticking out
| behind him. and ere long the car gave a
| lurch and a lady just behind him emitted
an ear-splitting scream. Everybody jump
ed and looked, and to his horror the young
man found that the point of his umbrella
had come in contact with the nose of the
young lady seated just behind him. OF
course. he apologized, or tried, but it was
like apologizing for murder over the body
of the victim. for the lady's nose was
bleeding and she was almost In convul-
sions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next corner,
where there happened to be a drug store.
and the young man. aided and abetted by
one or two elderly ladies, who at once took
a lively interest in the case helped the
young lady Off and into the store and
posted off after doctor. One was found
ana the unlucky nose was soon put in
working order, and the owner, attended by
the married ladies, was sent home in a
carriage
The young man took her address and
hunted up a mutual acquaintance, with
whom he called the next day to see how
the nose was getting along. The nose did
well, so did the young man, for by the
time the nose was out of danger he had
got in the habit of calling, 80 that it be-
came natural for him to step around in
the evening! So in the course of time they
were married. and she is the only lady in
the United States whose courtship began
by punch in the nose from her future
husband.

How Proof of Dark Deeds May Be Es-
tnblfshed by Scientific Means.
From the Fittsburg Dispatch.
Photomicrographical pictures of mans
beard. hair, tip of woman's hair, tip of
mans hair, root of woman's hair, root of
mans hair" have also played deci isive
part in a murder trial. Two men had been
arrested for the murder of a certain per-
son. On the garments of one. which were
saturated with blood. a woman's hair had
been found, that is it's identity as such was
established only after it had been photo
graphed under a microscope and shown,
exhibiting tips and roots of woman's hair.
Upon the person of the second prisoner
was also a quantity of human hair found.
The microscopical camera showed that it
was mans hair, partly from the head and
partly from the beard.
The person murdered was woman, the
wife of the first prisoner, and the hair on
his clothes was identical with that on the
dead womans head. This settled his con-
nectiOn with the case.
The prosecution maintained that more
than one person had been concerned in the
murder. The second prisoner. however,
claimed an alibi which could not be dis
puted by direct evidence, as it turned out.
Finally the judicial expert hit upon tie
plan to compare the hair found on the
clothes of the second prisoner with those
Oh tne HrSt prisoner. specimens OF the la L
ter kind were procured. but ocular compari-
son failed to establish their similarity.
Then photomicrography was tried, and by
those means 1t was proved beyond doubt
that the hair came from the same head
and beard.
No expert Is needed to distinguish be-
tween the hair roots. Those of the female
are lank and thin; those from a mans
head are club shaped. The tips Of the wo-
mans hair show that they have not been
cut for a great many years. while hose of
the mans head clearly exhibit the marks
of the scissors. where the tips have been
cut from the shaft.
All this and more testimony. that in spite
of its technical character appealed direct
ly to the understanding of everybody con-
cerned, was brought out at the trial men,
toned and 1t was finally found that the
second prisoner stood guard at the house
where the murder was committed, and that
after the deed, the murderer, in a fit of
emotion, threw himself on his friends neck
and cried then and there. leaving the tell
tale hair from his head and beard upon
the mans shoulders.

From the indianapolis Sentinel.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hitchman have
launched a peculiar and new industry in
Muncie, Ind. 1t is a horse hide factory, or
that is what Mrs Hitchman desires that it
be referred to as being. Henry spends his
time buying old horses from all parts of
the county, sending them home, where his
wife shoots and skins them. She uses the
knife with great accuracy and is assisted
only by her two small sons. After the hide
is removed the fat is rendered into tallow
and the bones dressed and sold for fertiliz-
ing. The horses are purchased for mere
songs, and Hitchman seems to be making
a good thing out of the business. The wo-
man can remove a hide in less than ten
minutes

been on the way since a year ago last
May, and she will continue as long as life
lasts. unless she should have another
vision in the maantime. for she will not be
able to accomplish what she has set out
to do in her lifetime.
Her name is Mary Childs, and she is
sixty years old. She is bright and intelli-

many topics other than the mission she
has set out to perform. Her hair is white
and she looks older than she is, but she
