Two Heads, One Body.

Two heads with but single body
have made much trouble for Mile
Christine, the dime museum freak, at
Anderson, Ind, and for the keeper Of
a hotel in that city. The landlord Is
holding the baggage of the lady or la
dies until she or they pay or pays for
the food with which she or they fed
herself or themselves.
Many will remember Mile as an
attraction at the Hage gerstown Fair a
few years ago.
Mile Christine maintains that she
is but one person, even though COM
PEELED to look in the glass to see iftwo
hats are on straight. She says that
heretofore she has only paid single
board, and doeSen't care to stand a
double charge at this late stage in her
freak career.
No special arrangement for board
was made when the two-headed girl
engaged quarters at the hotel. But
the landlord possesses a keen business
head that led him to observe Mile
at her meals. For breakfast, he says,
one head ordered oatmeal and cream,
while the other demanded sliced peach
es or cantaloupe. This he construed
into two orders. Then came ham and
eggs for one head and beefsteak and
onions for the other, with two orders
offried potatoes, two cups Of coffee and
two napkins.
"Who ever saw one person use two
napkins at the same time, l would
like to know ?" said the hotel man to
Miles manager.
"How many beds does the lady oc-
cupy in the house ?" queried tho man
ager
Zone, said the landlord, after some
hesitation.
"There you are !" shouted the man
ager. Canyon legally charge guest

But the bed don't eat anything"
"Yes, and what Mile Christine eats
sustains but one body"
well, I don't care, retorted the
landlord. "She uses two plates at the
table and she keeps EN- busy at that.
III hold her baggage until she pays
the fine.
And this is how the case stands at
present. Mile refuses to desert her
baggage, and is still living at the
same hotel. She has consulted law
yer. So has the landlord, and they
threatened to fight the matter to a
finish.
In his complaint the landlord aV ers
that at times one head would develop
an appetite for something not on the
bill Of fare and he was thus put to e1-
ira expense to provide the article.
He says, too, that one head craved
onions, and was continually quarrel
ing with the other on that account.

Foul
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one Of the most obstinate
diseases. and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhAltng mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force 1t from the blood.

pirant for literary fame, but a man
Of meagre claims to recognition in
the literary world Poe scored him
in his criticisms as he did all pre-
tenders to genius. In retaliation
Griswold wrote venomous bi-
ography of Poe after the latter's
death. In 1843 Poe won prize OF
one hundred dollars from the dol
lar Magazine" committee, with his
story of the "Gold Bug. In 1915
the poem entitled "The Raven" APP
peared in "Colton s American Re-
view" This poem more than any
other of his works increased his
fame both at home and abroad.
On the I'd of October he left Rich
mond for Fordham, a small village
in the suburbs of New York. On
his way he passed through Balti-
more. 1t was election day and
liquor flowed freely. The day took
Poe at his weak point and he drank
heavily. With much ado he was
escorted from one polling-place to
another, until having served the
purpose of his Friends" he was
left to his dishonor in low gamb-
ling den of disreputable street.
Here he was found and at once con-
veyed TO Washington College Hos
pital, where he died on the 9TH of
October, 1919.
Poe was sensitive, high tempered,
eaprcious. He never overcame his
spoiled child ways and willfulness..
We have no biographer of Poe who
has treated him justly Some have
presented only the dark side of his
character, as Mr. Griswold has done,
and some have covered up all the
defects, showing us only what was
true and noble in his life Poe
might have produced far greater
works had he not contracted in his
youth a fatal habit. His genius was
blasted by drink. His works are
sombre and gloomy as his nature.
There is no moral to anything h
wrote. His own sad life is moral
lesson. Poor Peel Let us drop
the mantle Of charity over his sad
life; let us think kindly of his many
faults in the light of his great
genius.

IRON DISSOLVED BY WATER.
Fluid Containing More Cnrbonic Acid
Than Lime Does the Work.

Fluid Containing More Cnrbonic Acid
Than Lime Does the Work.
Some interesting experiments and re-
searches into the ability of water to ex-
ercise destructive influence on iron
pipe, which have recently been made
in Europe, have yielded results not gen.
orally expected, reports the Philadel-
phia Record. 1t has been ascertained
that waters containing little lime,
but an appreciable quantity Of dis
solved carbonic acid. were observed to
exercise solvent action upon the iron.
and the course of the action was traced.
A known quantity of iron filings was
placed in each of three vessels, which
were respectively filled with ordinary
river water. and the same water after
carbonic acid has passed through il for
few minutes, and after the addition
OF sufficient lime to just neutralize the
carbonic acid The vessels were sealed
by mercury from contact by the air,
and after the,lapse of certain time the
iron dissolved in each case was deter
mined. In the first case the water
had dissolved about 0.0003 per cent;
in the second. 0.02 per cent, while in
the third only traces of iron could be
discerned. The water in the second
case was clear, but on standing ex-
posed to the air ferric oxide separated.
IL was therefore inferred that waters
containing carbonic acid and very little
lime dissolved iron as ferrous carbon
ate. The latter is then decomposed by
the oxygen Of the r.end ferric oxide
is deposited and carbonic acid formed.
The latter can again attack the iron,
and thus water containing little car
bonic acid may have powerful ac-
ton upon iron pipes.

Her first shots went wild, but the little

The Texas finished the business, two OF
