WHAT LOVE ONCE DID.
&c Drove This Man from the Footlights Il
o Woodchopper's Shanty.

ke OEOy0 Xn18 MAN from tuc HOotAtSASo ~
Woodchopper's Shanty.
Love made a recluse of a man who Is
now three-quarters of century old
and who has avoided his fellows fol
nearly thirty years. He calls hinseli
John Smith, aid his hermitage is IN the
mountaizs not far from Erving, Mass.
SAYS the Brandon Rumor.
- He was an actor and she was ar
actress. They were engaged, quarreled
and separated. The lovers mind be-
came unbalanced, and while yet in the
prime of life he abandoned his pro
fession and sought the semi-solitude
which has now grown to be habit
with him.
It may be remarked that no one
knows his real name. That Of John
Smith is an alias, and he frankly &C
knowledges that he has taken every
precaution to conceal his identity. Lie
visits nobody, but during the past few
years many people have been 10 see
him. He is sort of local fad and the
folks Whereabouts almost love him
The old mans hair and beard are white
as snow. He delights to chat with
visitors, and on pleasant Sundays Of
summer and autumn the grounds
around his little cottage are covered
with scores of teams and hundreds OF
visitors.
For the time being the grounds are
converted into a picnic grove, and the
old man shares the hospitality OF his
visitors, tells them quaint stories, and
in return they give him the remnants
of their feasts and little gratuities, and
purchase the photographs of himself
and his cats.
In the winter the old man is a genuine
hermit, SO far rs human beings are con
cerned, but in and around his cabin he
has no less than a dozen cats, to say
nothing of the wild cats that every lit
tie while are killed On the surrounding
hills, and he is as proud of ''Jim Fisk
and Lady Ann" IS ever Il fond mother
was Of her first born twins.
The house which he occupies was for
1nerly Il wocdclloppcr' shanty, and it is
little better now. The boards inside the
living room are covered with playbills
and pictorial printing.

TEMPTED, BUT TRUE.

We have advanced in one way at
any rate. Nobody argues with or
"chaffs" the young MAINLAND there
are great many of him-who says,
"No, thank you, / never drink wine
or spirits"
confess to feeling little glow of
pride and appreciation rise within me
when hear this, and 1 want to shake
hands with that young man. They
tell me that where six fellows cline
up" at bar these days, it is no un-
common thing for three of them to
take ginger, ale or vichy, and nobody
says word either.
At reception not long ago hand
some young man stood in the marble
hall and ladled out lemonade and
claret punch to a contingent of pretty
women, who appeared to dote upon
him.
One of them said: "But, Mr.. Morris,
amt you going to have some punch?"
"Pll drink Lemonade"
"Oh, pshaw! Drink glass of claret
punch with me-"
"Thank you, no."
She was the prettiest girl in the
house and the richest.
Her eyes flashed, and she said coax
ingly:
"As personal and especial favor to
me, please do. I'll give you every
dance you want if you WILL"
The young fellow redeemed and then
turned pale. "Thank you very much"
he said "but couldn't do it,"
And then from all those other
women went UP such round of APP
plause that, had he been an actor, he
would have started out starring" at

The leaders of the L. T. L. gave the
members social last Friday afternoon

The leaders of the L. T. L. gave the
members social last Friday afternoon
at the M. E. Church, where cake and
lemonade was served and all present
enjoyed themselves. The meetings of
the L. T. L. are very interesting.
1t is hoped that more interest will
be taken in this work in the future.
The meetings are discontinued for a
month on account of the warm wealth
er and the busy season, when the
children will be expected to be in their
places. They are doing nicely, and if
they keep on will get far ahead of the
older ones in parliamentary usage.
The sentence of death has long since
been passed upon the saloon. The
day Of execution may be delayed, but
it will not be forever.
If the majority Of the people of
every community want the saloon why
do the liquor men oppose local option?
If the majority OF the people of any
community do not want the saloon
why should they not be allowed to say
so?

RAISES RATS FOR A LIVING.
A Kansas City Man Who Furnishes Ro-
dents for "Sporting" Purposes.

Rat culture is something Of which
one-tenth of the world knows little and
the other nine-tcntnS knows nothing.
Yet right in the center of Kansas City
there flourishes q rat farm" Down in
a dingy basement of house on Twelfth
street there is a wooden box about
twelve feet square and four feet deep,
lined with zine. ,T.le floor of this box
is covered with straw. Leaves of bread
with the edges nibbled off and with
holes in the crust litter the straw, to-
gether with q pan of water and pieces
of cheese certainly old enough to be
ranked prime. There are rats in this
box, plenty Of them. The rodents had
nestled all close together when the
outer portal to their domain was noisily
unbolted the other night and the
proprietor of the rat farm cautiously
descended the steep stairway to the Gel
lar, conducting a Times reporter and
several friends. These visitors, too,
were cautious, very, for misstep would
have sent man headlong into the zinc
lined box to meet in close quarters two
hundred rats of various dispositions,
sizes and color. A light was struck and
in an instant the floor of straw was I'M
dulating in a manner to make the poet
ical angry sea" ashamed of itself. The
horde of rodents, in their hurry to get
the farthest they could from the light,
crowded over each other and squealed
and squirmcd themselves out from
under their covering to bare corner
Here was pyramid of nearly two hum
dred wriggling rats that gave one the
cold chills to look upon. There were
rodents of all classes, distinctions ana
descriptions. Gray rats, black rats,
dun rats, yellow rats, young rats and
old rats, fat rats and rats with trans.
parent hides. The pied piper never
saw a better collection.
It is not hard to maintain rat farm,
so the keeper said. First a few of the
despised animals are procured and put
in the pit. They attract others, who
crawl up the rough sides of the outside
walls of the pit and slide down to call
on their friends. They can't get out
Then they multiply quickly.

How to Cure Yourself While

For your Protection. - atarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. It starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, SO cents.
