the pans were found.
Both these and many other cases are Mt

Mrs. Wade says she learned of her power

and he did.
Within the borders of Wyoming county
it would be possible to get records of a
hundred authentic instances in which the
Widow Wade has exercised her strange
ability in tInraveling mystery. Some years
ago there lived near her q well to do farm
er named Grover. He owned q farm of
several hundred acres, bounded on two
sides by parallel roads about mile and n
hall apart Becoming too old to manage
the farm alone, MIR. Grover divided it into
two parts. The one on which his house
stood he gave to his son, and he built an
other house for his married daughter on
the other road. The two houses were
therefore at opposite ends Of the original
farm, nearly two miles apart. Old Mr..
Grover used to divide his time between
the two, going back and forth across lots.
One winter afternoon he set out from his
sons house for his daughters, going
through strip Of woods that stood in the
middle OF the farm. A few days later his
son-in-law happened to drive over to the
Grover house, and casually inquired after
the old farmer.
Father" said the younger Grover, sis
at your house, isn't hep
NO." said the other. I'VE haven't seen
him."
TWAS at once surmised that the old man
had been injured or perhaps killed by q
falling limb in the woods. A search was
begun, but a snowstorm had covered up
the old mans footprints, and It was i'm
possible to follow his course. The search
was kept up for two or three days and ev-
cry corner Of the two farms was visited.
but no trace of the missing man was found.
Then Widow Wade was called in.
With glass in hand the old woman gazed
long and carefully. Then she told how the
old man took the path from his sons
house to the woods, how he picked his way
carefully among the trees to avoid the
deepest snow, how he came to the rail fence
which separated the two farms and walked
eiong IL ior some distance, looking for .
convenient spot to climb over.
He must have been very tira-3 - che
said, for he waited here at the fence fer
long time. On the other side of ft are
some deep drifts Of snow, and there Won
will find him."
And there they found him after follow
ing the course which tho woman had de-.
scribed, his body covered by the snow.
Another case in which the Widow Wade's
faculties were employed for a more trivial
matter is vouched for by B. J. Frank. a
farmer living near CASTLE Mr.. Frank
says that one day two young fellows drove
up to his house and said they had heard
that he had sugar cvaporator to sell.
MIR. Frank told them his price for the
eyaporator, and giving them the key to
his sugar house sent them down 20 the
maple grove to look at it. Presently they
came back
It's a good eyapurator," said one.
but we can't Fay what you ssk, for two
pans are gone.
The farmer felt certain that there were
no parts missing, for he had locked the
sugar house. But when be came to look,
sure enough two Ut the pans were miss-

few days, and meanwhile - viaitsd IL

REPRESENTATIVE FOSS OF MINNESOTA IN A
STERN MOOD.

Danger" The bill was meant for q Joke.
but when the measure was brought up it
came within a few votes of passing. But
the bin was lost, much to Senator Keller's
relief.
The most freal1ish piece of legislation
during the present session of the North
Dakota legislature is the bill to create
state board of examiners for BARRIERS, con-
sisting of three practical barbers, who shall
give bonds in the sum of $1,000 and ex-
anime all persons aspiring to practice the
art tonsorial. All BARRIERS must be regis
tered, and tho proposed law makes it
misdemcanor to serve as q barber with
out a certificate of registration from the
state board. The object Of the measure is
somewhat in doubt, but it is presumed it
Is to reduce the mutilation of patrons of
barber shops to the minimum, and that
the sufferer Mt the hands of the careless
wielder of the razor may follow up his
butcher through the state register of bar
bers and bring him to justice.
Aside from this, the one unusual feature
of the session is the bill to make the play
ing of football misdemeanor. This was
introduced by Representative Hawk, but
it was defeated in the house.
Nebraska also has an antifootball bill,
and its sponsor is no less a person than the
speaker Of the house, J. n. Gafiin. The
bill not only provides fines and imprison-
mcnt for actual participation in games,
but makes trainers, umpires, reporters,
and even spectators, subject to prosecu-
ton. Further than that, Law officers arc
empowered to arrest any person found
froi pin -.
Intention OF participating in a game. The
fate of the bill is in doubt. But when it
comes up for debate, an amendment is
ready to be tackled on making the wear
ing of long hair by a college student prima
facie evidence of a desire to engage in foot
ball and subjecting the wearer to impris-
onment.
The Indiana legislature has had whole
lot of fun during the present session, and
the greatest laugh thus far was created by
Representative Taylor 1. Record Posey
county farmer, who introduced the bill
establishing "a new mathematical truth"
This was the squaring of q circle, the
twin boy of perpetual motion. Speak
er Petit when. he heard it forgot his
dignity learned during his years at the
United States Naval academy and laughed
out. He sought to emphasize the joke by
referring the bill to the committee on
swamp lands. But the tables have been
turned The author of the new mathe-
NAUTICAL truth got it before the educational
committee, which reported it fayorably,
and the bill has since passed under a sus-
pension OF the rules.
The author of the bill is DR. Edwin
Goodwin, a physician of Solitude, Posey
county. He is confident that he has found
the solution Of tho problem of how to
square the circle. The basic principle of
the demonstration is that the established
ratio 3.1416 should be 3.2

tho going down of the same-and some
times holds night sessions. II he were
listened to ard given his way, certain
states would be burdened with more laws
than ever harassed old England in its most
thoroughly governed days. His one aim
and object in life IL to regulate, and regu-
late, and regulate.
As a result, the sessions of the state leg
islatures now in progress have witnessed a
remarkable food of queer and unusual
measures Good, bad and Indifferent, the
measures proposed have been of such q
under the head legislative "freaks.''
Kansas, through the maneuvers of sew
eral former legislatures and the gratuitous
assistance of q considerable portion of its
inhabitants, had already established a
name for itself as q stamping ground for
peculiar legislative measures, but Kansas
has now plenty of rivals.
Sober old New York, which has found
much pleasure in the past in jeering at
Kansas, takes its place in bound at the
head of the crank procession. Senator
Ellsworth OF Lockport, the president pro
TEN. Of the New York senate, has intro
duced n bill in that body which has at
tracted more widespread attention than all
the freak legislation Of the SO called
"woolly'' west.
Senator Ellsworth views with alarm the
liberties which the bright young artists of
tho metropolitan press are disposed to take
with the features OF public men, and pro-
poses to stop caricaturiEg and the publica-
ton of unauthorized portraits His bill
providcs that mo person, firm. partner
