A Child Born Alive With Three
Heads.

An unusual freak of nature was
born at Beechtree recently, says the
Dubois Eepress. The details are
authentic but the parents names are
omitted for obvious reasons. When
born the child, male, had three
heads, two growing out of each side
of the central one, Immediately be-
hind the ears. The central head
was nearly perfect, except that it
was fattened slightly on the top,
but the two heads growing out of
either side, while small, were almost
perfectly developed. The child
lived a few days. The parents were
offered a considerable sum to allow
the doctors to have possession of it
but they refused, and it was buried
in the Catholic cemetery.

A man by the name of Harry
Faux, who said he was from Waverly
n. Y, drove into town Sunday even
ing and put up at the Commercial
Hotel. He said that he was robbed
while on his way to Laporte and
near the Ring watering trough. His
story was to the effect that he met
two men while coming up the Ring
hill and that one Of the men request
ed Of him match. While he was
reaching in his vest pocket in COM
pliance with the request one of the
men took his horse by the reins and
the other drew revolver from his
pocket and demanded his money.
Faux says they took $40 in cash
from him and silver watch. This
man Faux claims to be a horse
jocky of Waverly and was on his
way to HughesviIle to purchase a
fast horse. Our people don't believe
a word of his robbery story. The
fact of the matter is, he did not have
a cent to pay his hotel bill and he
worked this "gag" on the landlord
for sympathy and it worked all right.
If the story of Faux is made of whole
cloth, and we have no reason to
doubt it., because he refused to issue
a warrant for the arrest of the rob-
bers, saying that he was a sportsman
and had often lost 2 and 3 hundred
dollars on horse racing and did not
feel the loss of $40; a term in the
Penitentiary would be too good for
him.

Tobacco Chewcr on Lake Steamer Gets

A distinguished lady from the. con-
tiEent, visiting Chicago during the
worlds fair, was asked to take a morn
ing stroll down one of Chicago's fash
ionable avenues.
"The Americans have such filthy hab-
IT'S" she said, turning up her eyes and
closing them, deprecatingiy, that it
is nauscating TO walk their streets. II
people must expectorate why do they
not do it ON the grass, or pavement,
and not on the sidewalk. Natiooalities
are judged by their cleanly. or unclean-
ly habits"
Last summer a party Of ladies took
passage on one of the steamers ply
ing between Chicago and st. Joseph
for pleasant sail on the lake. To
enjoy the full benefit of the breeze they
sought the PROV of the boat. Plump
in the center of the deck sat q we'll
dressed, middle-aged man engaged in
the solacing diversion of chewing to-
bacco. Before the steamer had made
the outer harbor the black liquid stood
in pools about his feet. The
ladies were rushing here and there
for stools. but all gave him wide berth.
When the space had been pretty well
flled the party aforesaid came upon the
scene hunting for seats. The foremost
lady suddenly halted, and with disgust
pictured upon her handsome face said:
:.'What pig did that?"
Looking up, unabashed, tho middle
aged man replied: 81 Iguess I'm the crit
ter, marm."

HOLY PILLAR OF ST. PETER.

Witches We're Bound to IL to Exercise

In 2 small chapel stands q strangely
wrought marble column inclosed in an
iron cage, says Marion Crawford in the
Century. The Romans now call it the
Colonna Santa (the holy pillar) and it
is said to be the one against which
Christ leaned when teaching in the
temple at Jerusalem. A great modern
authority believes it - be Of Roman
workmanship and Of the third century,
but those who have lived in the east
will see much that is oriental in the
fantastic, ognamented carving. 1tmat-
ters little. In actual fact, whatever be
its origin, this is the column known
in the middle ages as the Colonna degli
Spiritati, or column of those possessed
by evil spirits, and it was customary
to bind to it such unlucky individuals
as fell under suspicion Of possession"
in order to exercise the spirit with
prayers and holy water. Aretino has
made a witty scene about this in the
"Cortigiana," where one Of tho vatican
servants cheats q poor fisherman and
then hands him over to the sacristan
ofSt.Peter's to becured Of an imaginary
possession by jceremontous exorcism.
Such proceedings must have been COM
mon enough in those days when witch
craft and demonology were elements
with which rulers and lawgivers had to
count at every turn. -

CUTTING OFF coREANS' PIerAlL
Great Grief Over IN Edict Of the Japan

Great Grief Over an Edict Of the Japan
csc Conqucrors.
Rev. A. F. Moore, missionary of the
Presbyterian church for four years in
Seoul. Corea, arrived at San Francisco
on the steamer Rio en- route for home,
accompanied by his family.
Some months ago the Japanese, who
dictated the appointment of the Corean
cabinet, caused the japanese police to
cut off the hair, or topknot, so called, of
O great many Coreans. The topknots
are sign of distinction. They are worn
only by married men, and no man is
supposed to have properly asserted
himself until he is married and has a
topknot.
The cutting of Of these appendages
caused great grief. There were many
remonstrances and increased dissatis-
faction. However. things have SO far
improved now that an edict has gone
forth allowing the Coreans to wear
their topknots. The consequence is
that many whose hair was cut of
have collected it again and fastened it
on. so that their happiness has been re-
established.
The gentleman says that many Of the
Coreans are embracing Christianity.
He says there is great disquieti in Corea.
6nd that bands of dissatisfied natives
are going about the country robbing
and pillaging. Travellers are not safe.
The king, whose consort was mur-
dered over year ago, is still at the Rus
sian legation and largely under its con-
troll. There is much dissatisfaction be
cause of this. A new palace is being
built near the legation for the king.
