she will admit, when she felt easier in
knowing there was Il chair or table close
by. but now that she has learned how lit
tie viciousness mouse really has, how
| childlike and ingenious is his nature, she
| insists that it is absurd to run away from
the dear little things. She even lets it be
| understood that the knowledge that a
mouse has got a firm foothold on ones
ankle doesn't Justify screaming. Scream
ing only frghtens the mouse, who has no
intention of biting.
Fortified with this ma gnificent courage
Mrs. POyer has succeeded in building up
the largest pet stock establishment in
the world. In addition TO her stock of
fancy mice she cultivates thousands of
rabbits, hares and comics, but the mice
are her favorites.
There is a good reason for this prefer
ence, Mrs. Poyer says. Mice are remark
ably responsive. They not only receive
attention gracefully, but appreciate it,
and if encouraged grow to depend upon
it. Moreover, they are easily taught and
trained. To illustrate this Mrs. Poyer
opens Il cage, calls out to the little crea-
lures who are running about inside, and
they Immediately run up her skirts TO her
head and shoulders, where they poise for
a few seconds with delicate grace, blink
ing sharply about to make sure that no
screaming feminine Phlistine is in the
neighborhood. Then Mrs. Poyer grace
fully adjusts her position so that it will
be easy for the mice to dance on her
shoulders.
Of course most people don't know that
mice can dance, because it is the COM
mon opinion that mice were made to be
caught in traps. But ef all diversions in
the world a genuine Japanese mouse
and there are other breeds who agree
with him-prefers a good waltz. A mouse
does not stand up on his hind feet to
dance. because that would be unnatural.
but he circles round and round on his
four little feet, pointing his sharp nose to
the ground. He keeps this up till he is
all tired out.
The aristocracy of Mrs. Poyer's mouse
collection is Egyptian in nationality.
Egyptian mice are almost unknown, and
these are the only specimens in America.
Their most distinguishing popularity is
the sharp little spines which cover the
whole body, porcupinelike. These spines,
together with their large, protruding
eyes, give them an aosurdly fierce ap-
pearance, but in reality they are amia-
bic. even timid.
Chinese mice are first cousins TO the
Japanese and may hardly be distinguish
ed from them except that they show a
greater variety of color and marking.
They are white. black, chocolate, fawn
and many intermediate shades.
Anybody who is induced by this TO
think that he would like to have some
fancy mice of his own must remember
that mice like other things besides cheese
and that to keep his pets healthyshe must
give them a hygienic diet A well reared
mouse is remarkably dainty and insists
that his food shall be not only whole
some. but clean. Grain should be their
principal food, as it keeps them in good
condition.

that rarely show themselves outside the
covers of yellow literature. and the fur
ther fact that the murdered one was the
brother of James Campbell only adds ten
fold to the tragic interest.
Down in Jasper county one day VIII
liam c. Campbell. the eldest son of the
Widow Campbell. was murdered. The
crime was clouded in mystery. and the
entire community was worked up to an
excitement that threatened the life of the
perpetrator of the deed had he been
caught Immediately after it was discov-
cred.
The circumstances surrounding the
murder We're of Il nature that batfied
those searching for the faintest clews.
The man had been murdered, and that
was about all that could be learned. But
the mothers heart never gave up the idea
that some time the one who robbed her
of one son and supporter would be
brought To pay the full penalty demanded
by the laws of man.
The thought of her son lying out there
in the cemetery unavenged preyed on her
mind until she was nearly Frustrated.
and then it was suggested by certain
ones that if 4 suitable reward were Of
fered the guilty one might be found. The
woman grasped at the idea like drown
ing man catching at straws. To her it
meant the solution of the hideous mys-
terry.
So a paper bearing all the earmarks of
law was prepared, and Mrs. Campbell
signed it, guaranteeing the payment of
a certain sum for the arrest and convic-
ton of the murderer of her firstborn. She
says now that it was her understanding
that n negro we'll known in the commu-
nifty was suspected, and it was upon this
statement that she consented to be re-
sponsible for the reward.
Had she known then that she was
signing the death warrant of her only re-
manning son, Il son upon whom she law
ished all the love of a lonely heart, she
would never have put pen to paper, but
this she could not know.
Fate plays queer pranks sometimes.
Scarcely had the ink dried on the paper
offering the reward than her other son
was arrested for the murder of his broth
er. The denouement came like a thun-
derbolt, and the shock nearly upset the
reason of the widow.
Her own son the slayer of his brotheri
The thought was sickening. Then those
who had arrested her son demanded the
blood money. To her it was like Shylock
seeking his pound of flesh. According to
her own statement. her soul revolted at
the idea that she. the one who had nursed
this remaining hoy from his birth and
given him all the jealous affection of Il
lonely mother, should pay to have him
hanged.
She refused to pay the amount of the
reward. and the claimants carried the
matter to the courts to force her to give
up the money agreed upon. But law is
not constructed ON sentiment. and the
court found for the plaintiffs.

and assert that John Vanderbilt is a lin
cal descendant of the old commodore.
Commodore Vanderbilt's descendants
in the male line are well known. The
commodore had four sons, of whom the
late William H. Vanderbilt was the old
est. The other sons were Cornelius j.,
spendthrift widower; Francis, who was
always an invalid and died unmarried at
the age of 40 years, and George, grad
uate of West Point, who served with
credit in the war for the Union. The
only grandsons were the sons of William
H anderbiIt-Cornelius, William x,
George W. and Frederick W. That he
had no descendants named John Wander
bilt is certain. The family, however, is
an old one. and it would be easy enough
perhaps by little genealogical research
to establish the kinship in one of the col
lateral lines. Among these John is a
family name. The original progenitor of
the family in this country was John Van
derbilt, and the late Judge John Wander
bilt was prominent citizen of Long Is
land at the time of his death.
There is also the family of Jacob FL.
Vanderbilt, brother of the old commo-
dore Jacob Vanderbilt was not as rich
as "Corneel," but he was rich enough,
and he had many of the traits of his
brother of many millions, including the
commodore's taste for fast horses. The
only person who can establish the exact
kinship of John Vanderbilt and the other
Vanderbilts is the hermit himself, and he
declines to enlighten his neighbors on the

The Mines and the Demons,

Mountain demons are widely distribut-
ed throughout the world. as far as China
and Japan. Miners used once to dread
meeting them III the bowels of the earth,
for in such Il case it was believed that
the face of the beholder was liable to be
twisted round so as to look behind him
all the rest of his life. Robert Burton,
however, in discussing subterranean dev-
lis, says that the metal men in many
places account it good luck, a sign of
treasure and rich ore, when they see
them"
These imps are, of course, the lineal
descendants of the dwarfs of Teutonic
mythology. but northern Europe has no
monopoly in such supernatural dwellers
underground, though their characters
tics vary with their localities. Gervase
of I'ilbury, an old chronicler of the
twelfth century. tells of a dark, unfath-
omabie lake on the almost inaccessible
summit of Mount Canigou, in the east
ern Pyrenees, where the demons have a
dwelling that is like Il palace for size,
but to most people both the palace and
the demons themselves are invisible. If
any one drops stone or other solid SUBJ
stance into the lake, a tempest immedi-
ately breaks out, as though the demons
were enraged at the insult.

John Vanderbilt grandnephew of the

hermit on the Hexenkopf, as the Penn
sylyania Dutch in that neighborhood call
the isolated -sloCntain peak east of the
- Lower Sancon postoffice, for - years. 1t
is a wild, secluded place that the recluse
has chosen for his home. He keeps to
his cabin all day and roams through the
fields and woods mt night.
Although Vanderbilt keeps himself in
communicate, says the Philadelphia
Times. his neighbors profess TO know
that he is very wealthy. He owns prop
erty, they say, at Bound Brook and New
Brunswick, \. j., and last April invested
a considerable sum of money in mort
cages on some new houses in the Bethle-
hems. He occasionally buys edibles from
his neighbors. paying them what they ask
in cash. He sends his letters from the
Lower Sancon p0stoffice, but receives his
return mail AT Iron ELL. Wassergass.
Every morning the hermit walks to the
Wassergass postoffice to receive his mail,
and every mail brings him three daily
newspapers. In going TO the postoffice
the recluse seldom takes the public high
way, preferring the fields and woods.

Crew Disabled by Lightning.

The American ship Sachem, which sail
ed from Philadelphia last fall laden with
kerosene oil, has arrived at Shanghai
after an eventful voyage. Before reach
ing HongkoDg. says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, her master died and was
buried at sea. In Formosa channel, after
leaving Hongkong, she had a most trying
experience. She only missed the tail end
of typhoon, and then a tremendous
thunderstorm came up. 1t gathered so
quickly and quietly that the officers and
crew bent their combined energies to-
ward taking in canvass. The seas rolled
so high and the ship pitched so fearfully
that it was feared she would sink. To
cap the climax her foremast was struck
by lightning. The immense stick was
splintered, and pieces of mast and rig
ging went flying over the ship. Over
half of her crew were knocked insensible
by the lightning. and for a number of
hours the ship drifted about at the mercy
of the storm. Her new mate, secured in
Hongkong, suffered the worst of all and
was believed to be dead for six hours.
Two members of the crew thought him
still alive and were determined to resus-
citate him. BY viborous rubbing and
pouring brandy down his throat he was
finally brought to.
