me and fell down. He stood there until he
was arrested. Joe Kilcline is my husbands
name, and he shot me without provocatlon.
Believing am about 10 die, herewith declare
this to be my last dying statement, and state
the same is the truth, and the whole truth, so
help me God.
While she was making her statement
Kilcline had been taken from the City
Prison by Policemen Farley and Flynn to
the hospital. When sire saw him she said ::
That's my husband, the man who shot
me-" KiIcline did not say word, but
burst into tears, and as the officers led him
away he attempted to get back to her,
saying he wanted to see her again.
Kilcline when asked to make state
ment was inclined to be surly. He at first
denied that he knew anything about the
shooting, but finally said: My wife's
name was Eliza Peterson when l married
her on Ritch stree. two years ago.
Last week she threatened to kill me.
She pulled gun on me but took it from
her. l went to her to-day and asked her
to come and live with me again, and she
said with an oath, Get out, or I'll shoot
YOU Then l shot her, and that's all there
is about 1t. l don't care if l swing for it.

Young Men, He said it had been author

Der of young men reached their majority
every four years to control com pletely
the Presidential election of the United

cent were Christians. DR.. Mackenzie and
others believed the percentage was much
larger than this.
Secretary Mccoy then stated that he be-
lieved the conversion of the young men OF
the country would be the solution of the
social and economic questions of the day.
He urged business men to do more for the
young men; mothers to open their parlors
to them, and all others to extend the hand
of sympathy. Only in this way did he be-
lieve the reforms could be accomplished.

raised for building and furnishing this

MRS, UPTODATE SPEAKS.

The most useful dress / ever had,
said Mrs. Uptodate refiectiyely, was
one of Lansdowne interlined with
Fibre Chamois. The man bought the
black Lansdowne from, said it was
draught RET isting and dust resisting,
but he did not claim that it was rain
resisting which it certainly is, to the
extent that rain does not injure it.
When the dress was perfectly new
got caught in an April shower. !
feared the dress was ruined, but when
not gone through the Fibre Chamois,
80 the inside lining was prefectly dry.
] hung it up SO that the skirt fell in
straight folds. When 1 took it down
the skirt was in perfect shape, rs if
entirely new, nothing was injured.
That dress has passed through two
other rain storms. Each time the water
fell from it in streamlets.
The last time the dress was hung
near the fire to dry, and it seemed to
draw up, hut the skirt while yet damp
was pressed with hot IRON on the in
side, and l!ning-Fibre Chamois inter-
Inning and Lansdowne, each and all
staid IN place in the skirts makeup,
while the NelutIna skirt binding was as
fresh as If newly put on.
Jewel uses Fibre Chamols in the
sleeves and skirts of all of her dresses,
also in capes aud jackets. Indeed. so
We all do. but Jewel represents the high
style of the Uptcdate family. l am
its practical member.
Yes. meditstively continued Mrs. Up
todate, first discovered the merits of
Fibre Chamois as table pad or under
cover.
When the General had his upset.
he bought me "A very handsome dining
table. One day | found out the not
dishes were running the polish, through
the pad, aud the under oil cloth mats

mats under the cloth where the dishes
were placed. and soon 1 discarded the
heavy cotton undercloth, and have
used one of FIBRE Chamois instead
with most satisfactory result.

and No. 20 for capes aud
jackets.
P. S.-M-s. Uptodste says that she
told me especially, that although her
dress was wet three times, the Fibre
Chamois interlining has never curled,
drawn up, sagged or torn, aud that it
still retains its outstanding qualitica-
tiOns.
Can any other interlining stuff stand
such test as Mrs. Uptodate has given
Fibre ChamoIs?

Four miles from Pineville, Mcdonald
County. on the grounds Of J. l.. Parish,
ts q freak of nature SO curious that If
q contributor to an exchange. l could
scracely have believed it possible. On
the bank of the Elk river rises a large
tree that towers high above the neigh
boring trees. At the ground n solid
buttressed trunk appears from eight
to ten feet in diameter. A little higher
than mans head this trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two smaller
Of which are in themselves fair-SiZed
trees, while the other two are far above
the average size. Here comes in the
queer part Of the story. OF these di-
lvergent trunks the two large ones are
respectively an elm and a sycamore,
while the two smaller ones are an oak
the common trunk each three In leae,
branch and bark Is normal to its type.
The trunk itself seems homogeneous
whole. l would not presume to say
| that close examination would not show
In the bark from different sections of
the trunk those peculiarities that dis
tinguish the bark of one tree from that
of the other, but certainly these char
, ncteristics do not appear on cursory eX-
animation, nor are there lines of join
ture visible where the four trunks Co
alesce.
l doubt II anyone can point to q
stranger growth than this-two syca-
mOres, an oak and an elm, all grow
ing from one common trunk. This
meeting together of four youthful tree
trunks as they thickened with age is
occasionally seen, but this is an un-
usually fine illustration. Each tree
must, however, form its own bark-that
Is to sky, no one of them has been
wholly enveloped by another. Hence
a careful investigation ought to dis
close q slighk line where the incurving
bark Of each original tree meets
