SPANISH SPLEEN.
How Hatred of Americans Il Shown
I'm Madrid.

How Hatred of Americans Il shown
.. I'm Madrid.
A most interesting article Is written
by an American woman from Madrid,
which shows how America, or 'los
Estados Unidos," and her people are re-
garded in that part of the world. While
the Spanish masses view the Cuban war
with disfavor, yet their hatred of 'los
Yankees" is reported as inexpressible,
en- the ground that the latter are the
occasion Of that'war and the cause of
its continuance, through their SYM
patty and direct and indirect aid. The
writer tells also of something which,
while a wonderful revelation of the
state of mind prevailing throughout
the Spanish portion OF the Celtiberian
peninsula, is amusing because Of the
pathological interest that Is bound to
attach to il.
The Spaniards have taken to calling
their hogs Yankees" but they have
also added two other words which must
prove peculiarly dissonant to their
sonorous tongue. Two little incidents
bring this matter out. One of the
writer's neighbors is the owner of two
of the vilest, shabbiest ours that ever
barked, and they would have suffered
death long ago but for the very pc
culiar virtue that is lodged in their
names. He calls them Morgan" and
Sherman" and he finds relief in SO
calling and cursing them. Then, in q
village squabble between two urchins:
"He called me Sherman" said one, in
fearful rage. But he said was a
Morgan" was the sullen retort of tho
other. This Cuban war is represented
as terrible burden upon the common
people of Spain, but it is a war. never
theless, of the aristocracy, in which
they must succeed, for if they do not it
means also their own downfall and the
overthrow of the government, with
quite likely Spanish republic to take
its place.-N. Y. Independent.

SUSPECTED OF THEFT.

Detectives McCloskey and Shoaf this
morning arrested Juan Morales on the
west side of town and lodged him in
the city Jail on the charge of being a
suspicious character which may proba-
bly, be changed to that Of theft later
on.
He was attempting to dispose of a
set of harness to a secondhand dea-
Ter and as the officers suspected him
of getting them otherwise than honest
ly they made the arrest. The har-
ness is at the police station awaiting

TOO glad to accept'his offer. The boy
was a lanly young fellow about 16
years old, and we had hardly got into
bed when he called out to his father in
the next room:
dad, the strangers got all the bed
clothes!"
AS a matter of fact, L simply had my
share of them, but to quiet him gave
him some more. and was closing my
eyes when he shouted:
dad, the strangers pokin' his elbow
in my back!"
moved further away from him, but
q minute later he continued:
dad, the strangers maxim faces at
mel"
"Look-a-yere, stranger" said dad"
as he came to our door with lighted
candle in his hand: "DanT has allus bin
brought up as a pet and is kinder techy,
but If yo' don't worry him he's one o.
the incest boys in the hull kentry. Jest
give him his way and he won't find any
fault with yo'."
I gave him his way and all Of the
clothes and nearly the whole of the
bed, but the old man had hardly left us
when the migrate called out peevishly:
dad, the stranger says hen kill me
when yo' a. ma go to sleep!"
did yo' say that, stranger?- asked
the father. as he reappeared at the door
again.
"Why, of course mott" replied, an.
grily. 81 haven't said single word to
him since we came to bed!"
WALL" he continued, kindly. "jest
bar in mind that DanI has allus bin
brung up as pet and don't bother him.
He's a mighty nice boy, Dan1 is, and
YOU say so when yo' know him better"
was too tired to answer him again.
and for the third time was almost in the
land of dreams when that boy broke out
again:
dad, the strangers snorin' and won't
let me git to sleep!"
"DanT!" called the squatter in
voice Of thunder, land yo', too. stran-
ger, If yo' uns don't behave in thar and
let men the ole woman git to sleep I'll
cum in and wallop the both Of you'll"
said to myself that if he'd come in
and wallop Daniel for about two hours
he could have everything possessed
for his trouble, and I kept repeating
this over and over to myself and sink
ing OFF to sleep when that little villain
suddenly planted his two feet against
the small of my back and sent me out on
the floor with bang that shook the
house from cellar to rafter. Hay where
I fell, expecting dad" to rush in and
make good his threat, but as he didn't
appear I finally got up and dressed, and
passed the rest OF the night on two
chairs by the stove, while "Dan1." sat-
isfied at last, slept the sleep Of the just
and kept up snore the livelong night
which sounded like the growls of q
ferocious grizzly bear.-N. Y. World.

GEORGE BURNS CAREER.
Veteran Who Enjoys Life Minus
Ribs and Upper Skull
Metal Takes Place of Gaseous Tissue
for q Brain Covering and Heart
Pulsates on the Wrong Side
of the Body.

With a Uranium largely of silver,
minus five ribs on the left side, his heart
shifted to the right of his ananomy. and
with dozens of minor physical pecul-
iarities, attested by scars from wounds
and surgeons knives, yet full Of vitali-
ty and cheerfulness, George Burns, an
inmate Of the County hospital at Chi
cage, Is curiosity. His case has at
tracted widespread interest among
physicians and surgeons throughout
the country.
The man occupies ward No. and has
just recovered from an operation per-
formed by Drs, Fanger and Murphy
Q short time ago.
The last operation performed on
Burns was to extract mimic ball which
he had carried in his breast since the
battle of Antietam. The missile, which
weighed ~ ounces. was taken out, and
with it a piece Of Burns breast bone,
measuring two by four inches.
Burns was born in Massachusetts,, and
is 65 years old. He was the captain in
Massachusetts, regiment when
wounded at Antietam- When able to
get out again he was transferred to the
navy. His present home is Cincin-
natl, o.
Almost the entire vault of Burns
skull is missing and in place of the bone
he has silver plate four by six inches.
Over this plate the scalp has grown and
casual glance would fail to reveal any
lack of bony structure.
Besides this remarkable brain cover
ing Burns lacks, as stated, five ribs on
the left side and his heart is shifted to
the extreme right side of the body.
Another remarkable feature is that
Burns has carried his silver skull for

VENTURES IN REAL ESTATE.

One Way of Buying Houses ana the
Risks That Purchaser Has to Meet.
This comes in handy" said the me-
chanic, as he pocketed the SIS due him.
In need of money!" asked his en-
ployer.

house."
Another house?"
YES; it's the second I've bought.
OF course SIS don't go very far toward
paying for house, even the style i
buy; but seeing the money is like max
ing good start toward paying for it"
Belong to a building loan associa-
tion?"
"No; I'm doing this on my own ac-
had little money put by, and paid
it down for my first house. 1t was
a two-story house built for two fami-
lies, and the reason ! bought it was
that found a friend who was willing
to take the second floor. He paid me
s12 month rent, and paid out less
than $50 a month, and in six or seven
years / had paid for the house in full.
Now I've got q couple of other good
tenants, so I've bought another house
like it and they're going to pay for it
for me-"
Easy way to get rich. that" SAID
the employer
YES" replied the mechanic, with q
grin. But there is considerable risk
about it, too. The whole secret lies
in knowing how to get good tenants.
After you've bought the house and have
made some payments on 1t you're liable
to get the cold shivers any time. Sup
pose your tenant should suddenly learn
as much as you know? Why, he'd go
right off and buy a house of his own
and get somebody to help him pay for
his house, instead of continuing to help
you pay for yours. II you lose your
tenant, there's all that money extra for
you to pay. I've known more than one
Door fellow who has lost every cent he's
saved just by going into speculation
of this kind. That's why felt good
when 1 got my money. On the other
hand, there are lots of men like myself
who have accumulated quite hand
some little property in this way. Some
of them are policemen, and they are in
specially good position to do it, be-
cause they have steady employment
and good pay"
Houses of this character have been a
favorite venture of operators in low
priced real estate about New York in
recent times. 1t is estimated that along
the lines of our street railway system
more than 1000 of such houses have
been built within the last two years,
and whole blocks have been erected
here and there in other sections. Some
solid blocks may be found now stand
ing on ground where crops Of potatoes
were dug q couple of years ago. The
cheaper of these, houses are of frame
construction, but there are others OF
a more elaborate construction, with
fronts of brown stone and other decora-
tive effects. They are superior to fats
or tenements, while not costing much
more, and each improvement in rapid
transit makes them more accessible

over ten years and until a few months
ago was employed as an engineer.
In 1887 Burns was employed as en-
gineer on the steamship Savannah,
which piled between Boston and Flor
ida In January of that year the Savan-
nah was wrecked. Burns was in the
engine-room when the steamer struck
a rock.
When the shock came Burns was
thrown into the whirling machinery.
When he was rescued life was discov-
cred, however, and he was removed to
Philadelphia 1t was then learned that
both his legs were fractured, his right
arm broken, five ribs were crushed, one
of which penetrated his left lung. Last
but not least, the top of his skull was
crushed.
DIR. Bliss, the famous New York ply
stefan and surgeon, who attended Presi-
dent Garfield when he was shot, was
called to attend Burns, The surgeon
saw that desperate means were neces-
sary, and silver plate was cast for
Burns skull. An operation was then

his skull were trephined.
The silver plate was then fitted into
the injured mans skull, replacing the
upper part of the occipital bone, the
two parietal bones, and the upper por-
ton of both temporal bones and the up
per half of the frontal bone. In other
words, one-half of Burns skull is bone
and the other half is silver.
Five of Burns crushed ribs were
afterward cut out, In the operation his
heart was shifted to the extreme right
side of his body, where 1t has since re-
manned.
In addition TO all the other physical
peculiarities of Mr.. Burns, both his ell.
bow joints are gone, one knee cap is on
the back of his leg, and portion OF his
windpipe Is missing.
Burns is cheerful and converses free
1y regarding his war and other expert
ences.

A GREAT REMEDY.
Greatly Tested.
Greatly Recommended.

The loss Of the hair is one of the most
serious losses a woman can undergo.
Beautiful hair gives many woman a
claim to beauty which would be utterly
wanting if the locks were short and
scanty. 1t is almost serious a loss when
the natural hue of the hair begins to fade,
and the shining tresses of chestnut and
auburn are changed to gray or to a faded
shadow of their former brightness. Such
a loss is no longer necessity. There is
one remedy which may we'll be called a
great remedy by reason of its great sue
cess in stopping the falling of the hair,
cleansing the scalp of dandruff, and re-
storing the lost color to gray or faded
tresses.. DR.: Ayers Hair Vigor is stand
ard and reliable preparation. in use in
thousands of homes, and recommended by
everyone who has tested it and expert
enced the remarkable results that follow
its use. 1t makes hair grow. 1t restores
the original color to hair that has turned
gray or faded out. 1t stops hair from fall
ing, cleanses the scalp of dandruff. and
gives the hair thickness aud gloss that
no other preparation can produce.

reached the latter place after having
been lost for five days. He was sorry

shreds, his feet almost bare and cut
and bruised. On Friday morning, Nov.

route he had been told of, the steamer
on which he has carried the mail all
Summer having been forced to stop
running on account of the ice in the

with the country and got turned around
and bewildered. He tramped around
the country. which is entirely unset
tied, for five days and four nights,
without a bite to eat, with the excep-
ton OF a piece of bread which he found
on trail he was following. The
bread was widowed and gnawed by
animals, but seemed to sustain life in
the weary and well-nigh discouraged
traveller.

Misery by the Wholesale.

Is what chronic inactivity of the liver gives
rise to. Bile gets into the blood and imparts
a yellow tint, the tongue fouls, and so does
the breath, sick headaches, pain beneath the
right ribs and shoulder blades are felt, the
bowels become constipated and the stom-
ach disordered. The proven remedy for this
catalogue of evils is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, medicine long and professionally rec
commended, and sovereign also for chills and
fever, nervousness and rheumatism.
