more closely, 1t will be found thickly

though anomalous in form and habit,
has beauty united with its strange fea-

ODD PHASES of LIFE.
Nearly Killed by Bees.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.)

New Castle, July 7.-Scott White,
farmer who resides near Mt jackson,
will likely die from the effects of an en-
counter he had with hive Of bees yes
terday evening.
Mr.. White. was endeavoring. with the
usual beating Of tin pans, etc., to hive
the bees, when the entire hive turned on
him. He had covered his head and face
with heavy cloth before he undertook
to do his work. but one Of the bees stung
him on a portion of the face which the
cloth did not cover. Mr.. White, feeling
the pain of the sting, tore at the cloth.
and his face was soon exposed. The en-
tire hive lit upon him, and hi fell to the
ground yelling In his misery. As soon
as possible the family hurried to his as
slstance, and after sharp struggle,
during which several of the family were
stung, the bees were frightened away.
A physician was sent for at once. Mr..
White was In an unconscious condition.
While, he was screaming some Of the
bees got into his mouth and stung him so
badly that his throat was almost closed
After the doctor arrived he succeeded
in pulling no less than 100 stings from
Mr.. Whites face and head and neck.
1t is feared that his injuries will prove
fatal. The pain is intense. His face Is
swollen twice Its natural size. and he
breathes with the greatest difficulty.

SOMEBODY'S MOTHER.

The woman was old and ragged and
gray,
And bent with the chill Of the Winters
day,
The street was wet with recent snow.
And the woman's feet were aged and
slow.
She stood at the crossing, and waited
long,
Alone, uncared for, amid the throng
OF human beings who passed her by.
Nor needed the glance Of her anxious
eye.
Down the street, with laughter and
shout,
Glad in the freedom OF school let out,
Came the boys like flock of sheep,
Hailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the woman, so old and gray,
Hastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her,
So meek. SO timid, afraid to stir
Lest the carriage wheels or the horses
Should crowd her down in the slippery
street.
At last came one of the merry troop
The gayest laddie of all the group; lf
He paused beside her, and whispered
low,
'I'I help you across If you wish to go. u
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and so. without hurt OF

He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and

to the singular order known as Lopho-

other fishes in the peculiar structure
Of the gill arches. by which the gills
are arranged in little tufts on each side
of the head, under the cheek bones or
gill covers. The structure of the sea-
horses tail is unlike that Of any other

Crooked Township Line. Explained.
U.ewiston Evening Journal.)


There Is reason for most every
thing" said Cumberland County man,
when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such crooked line
between the two towns in his county:
there's reason for this crooked lire.
You see, some of our towns established
in pioneer times, when land was album
dant and people were few, had big
territory which was afterwards sliced on
to make new towns. 1t was so in the
case you mention, and when the cutoff
was made people along the line Of d.
vision were of different minds as to-
which town they wanted to be in. 50
the Legislature drew a straight line be-
tween the two parts, and then provided
that persons dwelling on lands adjoin-
ing either side Of this line might be in
one town or the other, as they should
decide, within ninety days after passing
the act. Some went one way and some
the other, and the line was all skewed
up to accommodate them"

MALONEY CHARGES FRAUD
The Turfman Sues Colonel Theo-
dore. C. Marceau, the
Photographer.
Says He Paid $223 Under Duress and
Through Fraudulent Repre-.
Sentations.

A suit was filed in the Justices Court
yesterday against Colonel Theodore G.
Marceau, the photographer in which the
ex-National Guardsman is charged with
fraudulently obtaining warrant for the
arrest of j. n. Maloney, the turfman.
Maloney ordered a quantity of photo
graphs from Marceau in March, 1895, and
refused to accept them when they were de-
hvered on the ground that they were a
strikingly poor likeness and badly finished.
On March 80, when he was about to leave
the Palace for the train on which he was
to depart for the East, he was arrested on
a warrant sworn out by Marceau' charging
him with the intention of leaving the
State to defraud his creditors.
While under arrest he says that the pho
tographer took advantage of the fact that
he had fully arranged to leave at once for
the East on important business and had no
time to delay and consult an attorney and
extorted 1928 from him as payment for the
pictures in spite of his violent protest.
He was gone six months. and now sues
for the return OF the 1928 alleged to have
been paid under duress. The complaint
filed yesterday was in part as follows:
That plaintiffs intention so to depart from
said City and County OF San Francisco was
well known and understood by said defendant
and that said defendant, taking advantage of
said plaintiffs intention to depart from San
Francisco as aforesaid. and fraudulently con-
triying to harass, oppress and annoy this plain
tiff aud by means of force and coercion to ex-
tort from plaintiff the sum of money herein
after mentioned, he, the said defendant, COM
menced an action in the Justices Court of the
City and County OF San Francisco against the
plaintiff herein, falsely charging that this
plaintiff was indebted to the defendant herein
in the sum OF 1928 in lawful money of the
United States.
That said defendant herein on said 3Oth day
OF March, 1895, fraudulently made and caused
10 be filed in said action an affidavit wherein
said defendant falsely charged that the plain
Tiff herein was indebted to said defendant
herein in the sum or 1923, and that
this plaintiff intended to leave the State
OF California for the purpose and with the in
tentfon to cheat and defraud him, the said de-
fendant, out OF the said sum of money and
thereupon and thereby the said defendant by
means of such false and fraudulent state
ments and representations, procured an order
for the arrest of this plaintiff to be issued out
OF the Justices Court.
The complaint also denies that the sum
of $223 is due Marceau, and demands the
return of the money. In his answer to
Marceau's suit, filed few days ago, he in
timated that he would sue the photog-
rapher for 5000 damages for the arrest.
