KENTUCKY BELLIES eEvenoE

How German tssz.4 Was Made e..
Feel ETfsle.
This is story OF an International
marriage that didn't take place. It
failed twice, the first time for reasons
of the man in the a. air, or his family.
and the second tire for reasC 5 OF re-
venge on the part of the once young
woman, now three times married. 1t
is safe to say that the German baron
will not daily long again with Blue
Grass belle. It was half century ago
that Miss Marie Goodloe, one of the
most beautiful girls in that state world
famous for three beautiful products
girls, horses and whisky-went abroad
and formed the acquaintance of Baron
Won horde of Berlin. nephew of the
late Prince Bisi rex. They became
engaged, and everything seemed to be
going smoothly, when the parents of
the young man announced that it could
not be, and the affair was broken Off.
Miss Goodloe recovered, and in time
became successfully Mrs. Shreeve, Mrs.
Ransom, and Mrs. Cuthbert Bullitt. The
first TWO husbands died, and divorce
separated her from the last one. Per-
haps the old fame fingered in the heart
of the baron, and it certainly burned
with vengeance in the heart of the
lady. Last summer they met In Chi
cago, and again he asked her to be his.
The lnug-awaited hour had come. AT
last the proud Kentuckian had
chance to show the baron what sort
of woman the Blue Grass country pro-
duces. She told the baron that she
would consider the matter, and give
him an answer in person at her home
on Nov. l. He came in advance of tbs
date, and found Louisville society wide
open. She gave reception in his hon
or at Fountain Ferry park, and for
two weeks showed him every attention.
On the first of this month he knelt
with becoming baronical grace at the
feet Of the beauty, and offered to share
his castle on the Rhine with her. With
an arise-sir-knight air she babe him
regain his feet, and when he was SUI
ficiently braced she remarked that she
preferred cabin in Kentucky to cas-
tie in Germany. The baron quit Amer
lea, and Mrs. Bull;tt gave out the
story Thus was she avenged

= Animal. aud Their Toilet.

Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class of animals,
excepting some of the opossums. The
lions and tigers wash themselves in
exactly the same manner as the cat
wetting the dark, india-rubber-like ball
OF the forefoot and inner toe, and pass
ing it over the face and behind the
ears. The foot ISL ,thns at the same
time a face sponge and brush, and the
rough tongue combs the rest of the
body. Hares also use their feet to
wash their faces. and thehare's foot is
so suitable for brush that it is used
to apply "the paint" to the face for
the stage.

inds of wine more than 5000 years
so, in addition to beer called hega,
aade from barley. The ancient Assy-
-ians too loved their wine. The earli-
st mention OF wine in the Bible is q
eference to Noah planting vineyard
nd getting drunk with the wine. The
thinks Of antiquity were sometimes,
say the least, peculiar The Greeks
md Romans, whose customary drink
5as wine, often mixed it with sea
water. Other ancient beverages were
:oney and rain water; honey, salt wa
er and vinegar. and mixture of
loney and myrtle seed. Homer speaks
Il q wine to which twenty times as
much water could be added. The Ro-
nan lover, when drinking to his lady,

s1RDAR K1TcHENER's WOUND.
The Curious Way In Which a Bullet
Was Dislodged from
His Throat.

The London Chronicle notes that Gen.
Kitchener, who is now the idol of Eng
land, big and little, is said to be suf-
fering from serious affection of his
eyes, which threatens to impair his
sight. 1t also calls attention to the fact
that he has had very curious expert
ence in his earlier Egyptian campaigns,
he having swallowed bullet, with
which he had been wounded, and which
he now preserves as memento. Dur
ing the campaign of SO Maj Kitchener
was hit in the side of the face by bull
let during a sldrmish near suakim,
and was taken down the Nile, and
thence to the Citadel hospital at Cairo,
where, despite all the efforts of the sur
geons, the bullet could not be located,
the x rays being then unknown.
sergt. Billion, late Of the medical
staff corps, who is now in London and
who was then specially detailed to look
after the injured officer, states that
the wound was healthy one, and very
soon healed, and the medical officers
came to the conclusion that the bullet
had worked its way out without being
noticed, on the passage down the Nile.
Billion one day tempted his patients ap-
petite with tasty beefsteak, which
the major had no sooner attacked than
he put his hand to his throat exclaim-
ing: "Bilton, If there was no bone in
the steak, I've swallowed that bullet;
I felt 1t go down." This proved to be
the case, the bullet passing through
the elimentary canal without injury to
the distinguished officer.

The trouble lies in the fact that too few
Women enjoy perfect health and strength
OF the special womanly organism A wom-

Favorite Prescription cures all weakness

organs concerned in wifehood and mother
hood. 1t is the most perfect and scientific
remedy ever devised for the peculiar all
ments of women. 1t restores womanly
power, strength and virility. It tones and
builds UP the nerves which have been shat.
