all this is in Chicago, In the year 1897;
within sight Of the worlds fair

One of the most interesting and
striking features of the worlds fair was
a reproduction of Washington's famous
home at Mount Vernon which the wom-
en- of Virginia constructed at an ex-
pense of something like $4,000. II
was a solidly built house, accurate in
every detail, measurements and plans
being made by architects who visited
the original at Mount Vernon for thi:
purpose. When the time came to de-

of the startling experience of w. A. Dav

dealers at St. Louis, and his beautiful
young wife, who before marriage was
Miss Otilia Hippel of Paducah. Davis
had taken his bride with him on bust

by the moonshiners who fill that place for
a revenue officer. The Illicit dlstlllers be-
sieged the couple in their room at the
little Hamburg hotel. They battered down
the door and, overpowering the husband
dragged Mrs. Davis downstairs. Some of
the reputable citizens of the town came
to his aid and recaptured the young wife.
The pair were hastily conducted to
store where they were barricaded, and 20
armed men stood guard over them. Four
or five citizens and several of the moon
sinners were seriously wounded. Davis

STILL IN DANGER.

"There is some doubt as to what part
the Nineteenth Maine played in the
war, though most of the boys think it
put down the rebellion" said Major
Parsons the other day. THE fact is,
the Nineteenth ate up the Southern
Confederacy. They stole pigs, robbed
hen roosEs, cleaned out orchards and
cellars and foraged the country so
thoroughly that the rebellion had moth
ing left to feed On and so lay down and
died."
Then Al Wells of the same regiment
took up the thread of the story:
I'VE yer sweeping along n day,
dining on the fat of the land, as usual.
Another troop was ahead, aDd between
them and us rode General Hancock,
As the general was passing n planta

stopped the generals party.
General said he, I want some
sort of safeguard. Those troops that
have just gone by stole my pigs, lifted
my hen roosts and emptied my cellar

N z sHE HAD NO CAT.

Passengers on q street car in Detroit
were treated the other day to a rather
unique form of amusement, which at
the same time caused them much mys-
LITIGATION. A woman was present who
carried a small hand basket which was
carefully Strapped and looked as if it
might be rather heavy. 1t would not
have attracted the attention of the pas.
sengers, however, if it had not been for
a long drawn, melancholy meow,
which every time the car stopped pro
ceeded from the depths of the basket.

prompous looking individual who sat
next to her.

marked a severe woman in al audible

There should be a special van for
moving cats, said another passenger
satirically, as a louder wall than usual
pierced the air.

said the woman with the basket de.
family, ''but that basket hasn't any
cat inside, as I'll show you"
She began to unfasten the straps. but
such a horrid eldritch yell came from
within that she dropped the whole
thing, amid q heartrending discord set
up by the imprisoned cat.
If that basket isn't bewitched I'm
going to open it." said the owner reso
lutely, and she tugged at the straps un-
til the lid was free, and with a smile
she offered the contents for inspection.
There was an assortment of domestic
articles, but nothing that in the least
resembled a cat.
But a light had dawned on the pas
sengers, and they smiled as they looked
at Prof. B who was ~innocently read

Now that the gripp is prevalent, or
something much like it, I think it is
wise for mothers and heads of families
to try remec les that r safe yet effec
tive. You usually commence to have
a sore throat. Some cough and have
acidity of the stomach, which is very
disegreeable. If you will prepare a
ssroUg solution of borax water and gar
gle it quite often through the day, and
for the sick stomach use a small pinch
of powdered boray, you will get along
much better. I never dreamed of the
power of borsx, except as a disinfec
tant, until I tried it for catarrh in tie
head by snufing a little powdered
borax up the nostrils at night and
gergling it for sore throat. l was re-
lieved in q short time, and from n
thing to another I tried it until its me
diclnal virtues were assured. 1t is
especially good in children's hurts and
burns. A young mother can rely upon
it better than linseed oil or kerosene,
which go many use on burns. Be care

CURE OF HEADACHE

Nothing is more harmful than to give
a sufferer from headache drugs to ease
the pain. The cause of the headache
instead should be treated.
An eminent physician says the best
treatment for headache is preventive,
and II we would all allot eight hours
for work, eight for play and eight for
sleep we rarely stuff ar from this cause.
The headache which comes from dis
tressed eyes Is most common and least
recognized. It's symptoms are pain in
the eyes, temples and over the brows.
Hot water is a very valuable stimuiant
for the eyes.
For nervous headache, a hot bath, a
stroll in the cool air or a nap in a cool,
quiet room will often be found success
full. A headache from fatigue may be
helped by pressing a sponge wet with
hot water on the nape of the neck and
IN the temples.
Bilious or sick headaches are com
mon to the first half of life, and some
times stop of their own accord when
one reaches middle age. They come
when a person has eaten food which
does not digest readily, and a careful
diet is imperative, sweetmeats and
pastry being especially dangerous.
Neuralgia is caused not only by cool
air, but by acidity of the stomach,
starved nerves or imperfect diet. Heat
is the best remedy, and mustard plas-
ters applied to the stomach and legs
will do more good than any medicine.
Cold water applied to the nerves in
front of the ear has been known to
work magic in chasing away neuralgia
pains.
Headaches may be caused by diseased
conditions of the blood, by nervous ir-
ritation and by Inflammation Of the
nerves of the head or adjacent tissues,
this last being intrequenG. Liver tor
pidity aid catarrhal troubles have
much to do with the headaches, as
they affect the blood. Nerve irritation
comes in many forms. The nerves
terminate throughout the body. In the
muscles and on mucou surfaces, in
delicate flaments and little, round
bodies. Continued irritation of these
terminals will cause headaches. Elk
