BETWEEN THE SHAFTS HIMSELF.
Man Who Drags the Carriage That
Conveys His Family.


From the Louisville Post.
1t is not necessary to go to Timbuctoo or
Chimborazo to see queer sights. They may
be seen right here in Louisville and two
IF them were seen this morning.
At about 8 o'clock people passing along
Jefferson street stopped and gazed at
spectacle that has not been seen in these
parts for some time, certainly. A small,
stout man, harnessed to a cart like
lowly beast of burden, passed down the
street. He was oblivious of the attention
he wsS attracting, and kept his eyes d.
rected to the ground that he might avoid
rough places.
In the cart sat a woman. She was also
unconscious of the attention of the passers
but II was the Inconsistencies of self
possession. At times she would look at
her husband, for such he was and then
at the crowd, with an air that said That's
the way to have 'em trained"
Scattered about the cart and perched in
all available places were six small chill
dren. They romped and enjoyed them
selves in the consistent style of happy
childhood. The family's household effects
were also hing in and onto the cart.
This was the Hawes family, from Ohio
| Harmon Halves, the head of the family
was the man in the shafts: Mrs. Hawes.
| the better half, was the woman who rode
and the six children were six little
| Haweses. They continued down jefferson
street to the city hall. Then Hawes drew
| around to central station and proceeded %
| unharness himself. Having done so, he
! stretched himself several times, while sope
| of the crowd that had collected listened
| closely to hear him bray. One fresh party
| offered him a handful Of hay. After he
| had drawn a few breaths, Hawes told his
| story to Stationkeeper Basler.
| He said that two months ago his home in
! Ohio was destroyed by fire. He had no
| place to stay and no way to get a fresh
| start. So he decided to make his way to
| Nashville, TO be there for the exposition
| and the revival it is expected to bring.
| Having no money for transportation and
no horse, he determined to act as horse
| himself.
| He has drawn this family of seven every
| bit of the way from Hurry county, travel
| ing at the rate of four miles day. Some
| one asked him how he made living for
, them. In answer Hawes took off his hat
| and passed it around. He collected Gj
cents.
The family have been sleeping at nights
| wherever they could. Sometimes they have
been compelled to sleep in the cart. When
| they reach Nashville they expect to get
an engagement with a side show.
| After good rest HaweS took his position
| in harness again, and proceeded en- his
| way SOUTH via the 1th street road.

You Can Have Your Eye Tnttooed.

You Can Have Your Eye Tnttooed.
From Answers.
The latest discovery of scientific medical
men is that the human eye may be tattooed
any color. 1t is now quite within the
bounds of possibility for doctors to tattoo
a mans eye bright scarlet or green. OF
course, eyes are only tattooed In cases
where one of them is blind. and has as
sumed in consequence peculiar dead and
CHASTITY appearance. An eye in this condi-
ton will entirely disfgure face; but
modern oculist may color one of these
dead" eyes. and restore 1t to its natural
appearance, SO that nothing but the dos-
est scrutiny can detect the difference be-
tween 1t and its fellow.
The operation of tattooing Is performed
by first treating the eye with cocaine, until
it becomes absolutely senseless to pain
When all is ready. the part to be operated
upon is covered thickly with India ink Of
the required color. The tattooing rs then
performed by means of little electrical
machine which operates specially made
needle.

broad, high forehead, the brown hair above

afraid 10 say what he thinks. He is en-
tlrely unass uming in his manner, and
don't believe there is a snobbish hair N
his head. One of the first questions
asked him was as to his ancestors. He re-
piled that his life had been zoo busy to pay
much attention to such things but he be-

Don't Worry.

o heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so,
What We've missed of calm We couldn't
Have, you know
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again,
II it blow,
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known.
When our tears fell With the shower,
All alcne,
Were not shire and shadow blent
AS the gracious Master meant?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, We k.ow, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Let us fold away our fears,
And pat by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just he glad.

where the Earth Is Dead.

How cheerless is the wind that sweeps
The hills of Galilee,
Where, murmurless, the Jordan creeps
Down to the deep Dead seal
Der barren rocks the dead vines trail
And by dead tendrils cling,
And ON the hill and in the vale
There Is no breath OF spring
The dying glance of Christ the King
Seems to have staid and stilled
The voice of every living thing
Where Christ the King was killed
The brooks, the birds that sing with them.
Have long since passed away,
And all about Jerusalem
The earth is dead today.

papers throughout the country this morn

police arrested him. At no time during

were heard nor was any attempt made
10 take the prisoner from the authorities.
