A London OcuIist Asserts That There

To speak of color blind artist sounds

One is the daughter of late famous

The other is a lady artist of some
celebrity, who has for years exhibited

Curved His Epitnph and Died.

"John Harmon died here from the
bite of rattlesnake.
This is an insert ption on beech tree
standing ON the knobs, in Monroe town
ship, back of Jacksonville. A date
once followed the words, but it is now
indistinct. There is strange story con-
nected with the inscription. An old
resident relates it.
"Years ago, when that section of In
diana was little explored and when
the heavy bush was the dwelling place
of the wild turkey, deer and rattlesnake,
John Harmon started to Charlestown
to attend court. He was armed with an
old fashioned rife. A RATHER bit Har-
mons leg. Harmon killed the reptile.
Then he began to prepare for death. 1t
was he who carved the words in lighter
lines on the tree, with the request be-
meath, long since obliterated by the
trees growth, to bury him on the spot.
A few days later Harmon's body was
found. A grave was dug by the tree and
there it can be seen today. "--Louisville

return to England. The summons of

Neurslgis, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes,

or burning sensation, sediment in il
after standing in bottle or common
glass for twenty-four hours, are signs
of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms are often at
tributed by the patient herself or by
her physician to female weakness or
womb trouble. Hence, 80 many fail
to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself, but q

is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as well az men are
made miserable with kidney and

The Widower, whose grief is inter

HE CLEANED OUT A CIRCUS.
Old Indian Fighter Thought the Indian
Act Was Real and Broke 1t Up.

Old Indian Fighter Thought the Indian
Act Was Real and Broke 1t Up.
Major Henry A. Newman broke
into another of his characters tic
stories the last time he was in town.
This is the way he told it, and there
were present a half dozen to vouch
for its truthfulness:
away back in 1858 or 1859 there
lived an old fellow by the name of
Sumpter, who was a neighbor of
mine
''He had been in the Creek war
under General jackson, and one of
his relatives had been killed in the
massacre at Fort Mimms He had
great and undying hatred of Indi-
ans and was very bitter in his de-
nunciation of them at all times. He
was tall, iron gray and well pre-
served for his age. He made tubs,
half bushel measures, ETC., and made
mere living at this occupation. I
gave the old man the title of gen
eral, of which he was very proud.
Frank Perrine, neighbor of
mine, who has since died, and my
self opened our hearts and hands
and agreed to take the general to
circus at my town, Huntsville, Mo-
We purchased the tickets and gave
him some odd change to buy lemon
ade. The general, Frank and myself
took a lower seat. Now, the circus
had a detachment of about 20 Indi-
ans, who came in with war paint
and feathers and danced the green
corn, the ghost dance and other In
dian performances, and then per-
formed a scalping scene.
1t was very realistic. A white
woman rode into the ring with an
Indian holding a tomahawk and
soalping knife in close pursuit.
Round and round the ring they flew,
the Indian gaining on the white
maiden, whose black hair hung in
glossy waves down her back. She
acted her part well and was appar-
emily much frightened.
"The Indian grabbed the woman
and dragged her from her horse,
threw her down and scalped her.
He held up the wig, all dripping
with blood-venetian red. A thrill
of horror penetrated the audience.
General Sumpter's blood was up,
and before Frank and myself could
restrain him he rushed into the ring
and with his hickory stick felled the
Indian to the ground. The remain
ing Indians closed around the gen
eral, but his 'dander' was up.
1.-THE Indians commenced falling
asleep under his repeated blows as
fast as they did at the Horseshoe.
Frank and myself rushed into the
ring to bring the general out. The
crowd was yelling with delight,
thinking it a part of the show
Above the yells of the combatants
could be heard the loud laugh Of
Forked Eyed Adams, we'll known
character from the Charlton divide,
who could laugh SO loud that it was
