HAVE NO USE FOR TEETH.



ANDERSON, IND, Aug. %. "A fam-
lily of freaks was unearthed near La
pei, west of this city, yesterday. 1t
consists of several people without a
tooth. James Leonard is the father.
He is past so years of age, and has
passed this much of his life sound and
healthy without the assistance of a
molar or even baby tooth None ev-
er grew.
Twenty years ago he married wo-
man who had as fine set of teeth as
could be found. She still possesses
them. They had four children, all Of
whom are full grown and perfect in
regard to health, but who, like their
father, never had a tooth In their
heads. Their gums, however, come
down much further than is ordinarily
the case and are hard and as firm as
bone.
Mr.. Leonard is allie TO crack nuts
in his jaws without pain and seems to
get along fully as well as though he
were possessed OF full set of teeth
The children's jaws are quite as firm
and strong. All are perfectly content
ed, have no use for dentists and no
aches or pains in their jaws. They
live on farm and seldom go away
from home. They are fairly well-to
do

One should not always Judge a
man by his house, but in the case OF
Eugene Field it seemed as if his
house were a part of him. 1t is an
old fashioned two story farmhouse
with wide porch, to which has been
added large circular wing with an
outside chimney such as the sonth
erners love. As you enter the hall
you notice an deliberately ornament
ed old English tall clock of the kind
usually known in this country
as 'sgrandfathers clock" 1t is
one of three such clocks in the
house; second stands on stair
landing, after the manner of Long
fellows "Old Clock on the Stair
and a third was in Eugene Fields
sleeping room. The last one has a
gong in it like country dinner bell
and clangs the hour with loud me
tallic ring.
In the same room he had ssfreak
clock made entirely of wood, that
ticks like hammer striking hard
wood. In the library there is quaint
little one made with seesaw IA
wee boy and girl sitting upon log
to regulate the pendulum. This is
very well behaved little piece of
mechanism. as it makes no noise
and is really pretty. Contrasted with
it, standing near Fields writing ia
BILE, is plain New England kitchen
clock such as our grandmothers used
in their light, airy kitchen. 1t is a
medium sized affair of mahogany
with glass door, on the lower half
of which are painted impossible red
roses and for get-me -nots. 1t is a
good old domestic clock, and went
on faithfully ticking away when the
others were cranky and would not
keep the time regularly.
As you enter the house the library
is on the left hand. All around the
walls of the room are bookcases.
Suppose we look at the case beyond
the window, which might be called
the fairy corner. Here are gather
ed books of fairy lore from all parts
of the world, for there was hardly
an old bookstore in London, Paris
or Berlin which Mr.. Field did not
know we'll. In this wonderful fairy
corner are Cossack fairy tales, east
ern fairy tales, lengends of the
French provinces, legends of Ireland,
Norway, Germany, Spain, New Eng
land and all the modern English
fairy stories Mary Reid ard Hen

The absolute honesty of citizen OF
North Carolina has saved the govern
ment about Sal 900. At the recent
session of congress a bill was passed
appropriating that sum to pay an old
claim that had its origin during the
war. X. H. Lewis of Raleigh was
one of the beneflciaries under this
claim. When draft was sent him
few days ago by the secretary of the
navy, he returned it. with the infor.
nation that his claim had been fully
paid many years ago.
An investigation was at once made
by the auditor for the navy depart
ment, and he found that the claim
had been paid 20 years ago. On &C,
count of the honesty of Mr.. Lewis the
government will save all but about
So, 500 of the money, but that sun
will probably be lost because it has
been paid to attorneys and heirs of the
original claimants and has already
been distributed among them.

zone poor fellow who was given

The man, however, disappointed the

the question, who was to pay for the
coffin? 1t was charged to the man,
but he refused to sign his accounts
with this charge against him, saying
he had not ordered the coffin and did
not want 1t. At last compromise was
arrived at. The man agreed to pay

THE HABIT or DREAMING
Scientists Say 1t Is an Indication Of In
sanity


The fullest examination into the ma
ture and origin of dreams has been
made by M. Moreau, the French scien-
fist. He divides dreams into the dreams
of health and the dreams that
are the result of the diseased
state Of the mind or body. In regard
to the latter 1t need only be remarked
that persistent dreaming is one of the
most invariable symptoms of insanity,
and it is a psychological fact If genius
is near allied to madness, genius must
be expected to dream more than ordin-
airy men. With regard to the dreams of
health, they are the result of an imper-
feet state of consciousness or an imper-
feet state Of sleep, according as we look
at it. 1t is obvious that the mind of
the clever man, that is constantly oc-
cupied with many schemes and
thoughts, is more liable to be awake
when his body is asleep than of the
dullard, whose mind is often asleep
when his body is awake. Thus the
sleep Of the plowboy has become pro-
verbal on account Of its undisturbed
nature. In most cases man Of lively
imagination and quick brain is I'M
doubtedly more liable to dream than
the dullard.

not gold and silver enough coined in
the whole world, to say nothing about
the United States alone, to pay the

that, therefore, the claim that the
bonds represent "coin" furnished by
certain patriotic money lenders is
based on sheerest impudence. 1t is a
matter of indisputable record that the
war expenses were paid by the green
backs; that the only bonds sold during
the war were for the purpose of estab-
fishing national banks; that every bond
sold by the government was paid for
with greenbacks; that at least three
fourths Of the entire amount sold were
disposed Of after the war terminated.
and that the patriotic (D gentlemen
who bought them paid for them with
greenbacks worth less than so cents on

reason why Uncle Sam is obliged in
honor to pay them in coin, especially

Mr.. Gustav H. Schwab, agent of the
North German Lloyd Steamship COM
pany, in his communication published
in The Chicago Record, takes great
pains to show that Germany, France
and England are not at all likely to
ever adopt bimetallism, and that any
hope or belief that they will ever do
so is bound to meet with disappoint-
ment. Then what are we to think of
the financial plank of the st. Louis
platform, which leads us to believe that
bimetallism would be good thing for
this country, but that we cannot have
it except by international agreement?
If the conclusions of Mr.. Schwab are
corerct, then all hopes of such interna-
tional agreement go glimmering, and
we have the alternative of "going 1t
alone" and declaring for the free coin
age independently of the rest of the
world, or of meekly submitting to the
gold standard yoke. The same CORE
spondent admits that there is a NOISY
agitation in the agricultural districts"
of Germany in favor of bimetallism,
thus showing that the farmers of that
country are rcstive under their burdens,
and chatting for better prices. 1t seems
to me that the whole article is an ex-
cellent argument in favor of this coun-

Here is a sentence from one of Mr..
McKinley's speeches.: "The republican
party stands for honest money and the
chance to earn it by honest toll" II
this is true everybody ought to vote
the republican ticket. Let us see.
What is honest money? Money is that
which can be used at any time to pur-
chase what Is wanted or to pay a debt.
Honest money is money whose intrin-
sic value or its equivalent comedies
with that expressed on It's face.
Gold and silver or their representa-
tive in credits are, and have been, the
recognized best mediums for money by
all civilized nations, and the coinage of
these metals into money has been free
and unlimited, except when interfered
with, not by the people at large but by
spectators and manipulators Of finance
to subserve their selfish interests at the
cost of honest toilers.
The law-making power has been Oft
en- used through bribery or specious
pleading to interfere with the natural
and honest use Of gold and silver as
money. to rob the public Of Its rightful
possessions to enrich the conjurors of
finance. The decentralization of silver
was one of these schemes. 1t was sell
fish and satanic in its inception, profit
able to money dealers and disastrous
to the people who are the toilers. The
so-called 50-cent dollar is fruit of
law-making in the interest Of money
manipulators. We had no 50-cent dol
lar prior to the ill-advised legislation
of 1873. If silver coinage is left free
and unlimited 16 to 1 will be found, as
it very generally has been, tie nearest
approximation to the true relative val
Tie of the two metals, and SO much Of
each will be coined into money as will
prove profitable and useful. The rest
will be used in the arts and for other
purposes, as the needs and wants of
man may require, so that their relative
value will be subject to fiuctuation
so slight that it will create no serious
Inconvenience. Let our lawmakers
honestly serve the people and bid mon
ey sharks and shylocks keep hands off
and we shall have an honest dollar
and encourage honest toll to earn IL
