LIMA, O., Sept. o. Al mysterious
case is puzzling the physicians here.
Mark Irwin, young man living near.
here was found, on the streets In an
unconscious condition early Sunday
morning. He was taken 20 a hospi-
tai, and doctors summoned. He was
evidently suffering from a paralytic
stroke, aud no response was made TO
the treatment given. He was known
to be an inveterate cigarette smoker,
and at the suggestion Of some one d
cigarette was lighted and placed be-
tween the unconscious mans lips.
This had no sooner been done than
smile of satisfaction passed over
Twins face, and he began inhaling
the smoke through his nostrils and O.
mitting the smoke like locomotive
does smoke when the blower Is on.
The experiment was repeated several
times and astonished all who witness
ed 1t. Irwin was unconscious to pin
pricks, pinching and slapping, and
his eyes were unconscious Of the light.
He did not grow any better and yes
terday he was removed to his home,
where he is still in comatose condi-
ton

Advertise Conscientlously

Don't waste money advertising
something you don't believe in. Hon
est enthusiasm is the first requisite in
well written advertisement. Take
up some one meritorious thing In your
store and ring loud on that, following
with other good things from day to
day.
One of the chief benefits in adver-
Using is to familiarize the public with
your name and location. You might
as well, after having sign on your
store door for awhile, take it down,
as to take your sign out of the news
papers.

FIRST WEST VIRGINIA.
Delighted with their new Headquarters
at Knoxville.

The First West Virginia boys are
delighted with their new quarters at
Knoxville, Tenn, as will be seen by
the following letter received from
one of the boys.
"Too much cannot be said of this
place Knoxville proper is not very
fine, but we are camped in one of the
fashionable suburbs, about as far
distant from the town as Elm Grove
is from Wheeling and like Elm
Grove, motor line connects it with
the city We are close to Fountain
City Park where ice cold water, the
finest ever tasted, gushes out of the
sides of the mountains. We have
crowds of visitors from the city ev
cry evening and they treat US as hui
man beings It is a delightful
change from the treatment at Chick
amauga, where people acted as if we
were beasts. Don't believe all you
hear about the troops being starved
For example, to-day we had for din
ner pickles, sweet potatoes, corn,
chicken, brown and white bread and
iced tea. Do you think we could
starve on a bill of fare like that?
And as to treatment, why we are all
satisfied with it and have no com
plant on any subject.

Rough Winter.

The rag weed is unusually tall
in the fields this season. This is
considered an infallible sign of a
severe winter. The reason under
lying this theory is that the weed
furnishes the food for the birds in
the winter, and when it grows
abundantly tall, it means deep snow.
Thus does nature provide before
hand for what is coming.

A Tricky Butcher.

''The greatest business mind ever
ran up against was possessed by the
former proprietor of meat market out
in Germantown, said street car con-
ductor the other day as his car was
waiting on Front street. "This butcher
had fine, squeaky voice, which you
could hear block away. Tricky? Yes,
that's just what you would call it. I
used to watch him sometimes when
he was waiting on customers, and it
was positively amusing to see the ap-
parent ease with which he would make
a two pound steak weigh apparently
three or more pounds.
"He would take couple of pounds
Of meat and throw it ON the scales SO
that the pointer would show four pounds
and then take it off before the scales
could register the true weight There s
just four pounds exactly, he would say
to the customer in that squeaky voice
Of his, and then continue with the state
ment quickly made: Four times 10 is
58. Call it so, and unless the customer
was watching him closely he would al
ways get even change.
"He was in the meat business only a
few years and amassed competency.
Then he left it. What worries me is
how he is going to get along now. I'M
derstand he is in the real estate business,
and wonder how he works it when he
sells piece Of land. The scales won t
help him much there. "-Philadelphia

1t may not be generally known that
the Dutch Beers at the Cape, especially
those living in remote districts where
material is expensive and labor difficult
to obtain, frequently purchase at least
one coffin beforehand which is placed in
a conspicuous position in the ''voor-
kamer" or principal sitting room and
utilized as an article of furniture, for
ornament or as receptacle for clothing
and other oddments
One farmer well known to the writer
possesses a beautifully finished article
of this sort which he purchased about
80 years ago. During that period he has
buried three wives each of whom had
to be content with collins Of the COM
monest material and toughest work

possessor stands in all its luster of pol
ished teak and silver mountings.

uses it as couch for his midday nap in

grave humor that he may get aocustom-
ed to it.-Cape Times

HE souANDERED MILLIONS.
The Wildly Reckless Financial Career of
Baron Albert Grant.

The Wildly Reckless Financial Career of
Baron Albert Grant.
One of the most dramatic if not ao-
tually one of the largest failures, so far
as the liabilities were concerned, was
that of Baron Albert Grant of Emma
mine" notoriety. Grant was the I'M
crowned king of the financial world Of
his day and generation. He made mil
lions almost as deftly as the late Mr..
Barney Barnato, and he spent them
right royalty. He bought Leicester
square and presented it, free gift, 30
the people of London. He gave din
ner to nearly a Thousand city magnates
at cost which was popularity reputed
at the time to have exceeded 100 guineas
a head, and which, in any event, I'M
doubtedly established a record in ex-
travagant dinner giving which has yet
to be beaten.
And he started out to build palace
in Kensington which should 'knook
spots off, all other private residences,
past, present or to come. Everything
was got up regardless Of expense. The
ballroom walls were inset with panels
Of pink Italian marble, costing 800
guineas each. In the entrance hall were
four pillars of porphyry, worth "a, 900.
The building was scarcely finished
when the crash came, and 1t remained
for long brick and mortar white ele-
plant on the hands of the trustees in
bankruptcy. Eventually most of the in
terror fittings and decorations were dis
posed of piecemeal. The grand staircase,
which had cost to build some e40, 900,

A German correspondent comes to the
rescue of his countrymen, concerning
whom we expressed surprise that they
should prefer to use word of four syl-
tables when another word expressing
the same thing in 40 syllables was
available. He sends us copy of The
Kolnische Volkszeitung, in which &C.
ours a sentence of COZ words, occupy
ing SO lines of the newspaper.
This word serpent occurs in legal
Judgment, and even the printers got to
hate it after setting up about 450 words
of it. So they put in full stop, which,
like a rife bullet in the spine of boa
constructor, killed the whole sentence.
But it must really be nice to have news
papers in which you can begin to read
a sentence at breakfast, continue it in
the train and triumphantly reach the
verb at Office London Globe.

Cats of other Days.

The lot of the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favorably
with that of its ancestors. Everybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring a
sacred animal was liable to severe pun
ishment Among the ancient laws of
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter of cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip of the tail,
with its nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had to give him, by way of COM
pensation, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out of sight.
The grain was'supposed to represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through the depredations of vermin by
being deprived Of the cat.
Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries alsoIhad laws enacted
for the protection Of cats, which were
regarded of economicwalue. Now, how
ever, pussy is simplya decorative do
mestio adjunct.

The essence of snobbery lies in a SD
perfcial view Of life which confounds O

humbly confess that it is snobbery
which causes in me slight feeling Of
amusement when see in a certain

vate capacity acting as asher, and with

berry pure and simple which has effect

Horses in war suffer more fatalities
than men. Out Of the many thousands
who perish in their duty toward their
masters only few return home to spend
their lives in the ease and honor they
deserve. One warhorse, however, which
made splendid record for himself and
now has his virtues, name and noble
deeds engraved on fitting tombstone
was Copenhagen, the horse the great
Duke of Wellington rode at the battle
Of Waterloo.
Nine years after the Emperor Ma
poleon died at st. Helena an old white
horse persisted of old age and pneumonia
in England. The skeleton of the animal
is set up in the Royal Service institu-
ton, and to all visitors it is pointed out
as Marengo the charger Napoleon rode
at the battle of Waterloo. Marengo
came originally from Egypt and was
left to wander on the dismal battlefield
when the emperor was forced to fly for
his life. An English officer found and
took him, and he was sold to a general
in the British army. In English pas
lures, cared for by kindly grooms, this
noble horse passed the latter years Of
his life far more peacefully and happily
than his great and unfortunate master

At a variety entertainment given in

turns was ventriloquist. AS this
gentleman was recognized as one of the
cleverest members Of his profession, his
appearance was looked forward to with
much interest. At last it came The
stage attendants carried on to the stage
three dressed figures, seated in chairs, as
usual. The professor followed and then
went through an astonishing perform
ance. No one could detect muscle Of
his face move during the laughable dia-
logues, and the changes of voice seemed
marvellous.
On retiring the applause was deafen-
ing, and the ventriloquist had to return
again and again TO thank the audience
for their appreciation. A couple of min
utes or 80 after, when the audience were
talking among themselves as to how it
was done. they were thunderstruck to
sec the three figures get up from the
chairs and walk off the stage also, but
on realizing how completely they had
been sold the laughter was uproari-

friends to take the place Of his usual

The necessity that there shall be only
one man who "has the say in mill
tary command is thoroughly recognized
in the United States army. A story is
told of General Shafter which illus
trates the punctilio of the regulars in
this regard.
At certain frontier post at which
Shafter, who then held an inferior rank,
was commander many years ago, dis
cussion arose among several officers as
to the exact time of day A captain,
with his watch in his hand, said:
ut is now exactly o'clock.
"Oh. nor said lieutenant. "By
my time it's eight minutes past g..
A third young officer drew his watch
out of his pocket. 81 know my time IS
exactly right, he said, and my watch
says two minutes past g..
At this juncture Major Shafter looked
at his silver watch.
81 don't know what your watches
say" he remarked, "but wish you to
understand that in this command it is
five minutes past 8. !"
Then the young officers remembered
that the authority of the commanding
officer extended even to the time Of
day.-Youth s Companion.

HORSES, ACTIONS in BATTLE
Some Keep Their Heads In the Mad Rush;
Some Lose Them.

Some Lose Them.
A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil of battle. 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck by bullet, are out of their
saddles within minute. If hit in the
breast or shoulder, up go their hands
and they get heavy fall; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they fall forward and
roll off. But even with foot cut off
by jagged piece of shell horse will
not drop. 1t is only when shot through
the head or heart that he comes down.
He may be fatally wounded, but he
hobbies out of the fight to right or left
and stands with dropping head until
loss of blood brings him down. The
horse that loses his rider and is I'M
wounded himself will continue to run
ment throws him out Then he goes
galloping here and there, neighing with
fear and alarm, let will not leave the
field. In his racing about he may get
among the dead and wounded, but he
will dodge them, If possible, and In
any case leap over them. When he has
come upon three or four other riderless
steeds, they fall i'm and keep together,
as if for mutual protection, and the
"rally'' on the bugle may bring the
whole Of them into the ranks in a body.
A horse which has passed through a
battle unwounded is fretful, sulky and
nervous-the same as man-for the
next three or four days. His first battle
is also the making or unmaking of him
as warhorse. If the nervous tension
has been too great, he will become a
bolter in the face of danger, and there
by become danger in himself. If the
test has not been beyond him, he will
go into the next fight with head held
high and fiecks Of foam blowing from
his mouth as he thunders over the
earth. Washington Post.

A Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations.
"No Boxes Sold Here Is the sign

sign made it's appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time Of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always
The demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came from
the best establishment in the city. Sim
liar attempts are made at the we'll
known glass and china shops, at one of
the we'll known French confeotioners
and at all of the establishments which
have made a reputation In some par
ticular field.
Nearly all of these answer such ap-
plications with the words of the sign,
No Boxes Sold Here" but there are
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and are quite Indifferent to what be-
comes of them so long as they get their
rather high prices for the empty boxes
bearing the name of the firm. Similar
indifference is shown by we'll known
English pickle factory, which allows
its labels to be sold here and pasted
over any sort of stuff that the pur-
chaser of them happens to concoct. =
