4 Partisan swell recently had a

he afterward pretended to find fault
with.

After the dandy had left the painter
added to the portrait a magnificent pair
of ass ears and exhibited it in the win
dow, thus altered, to the gaze of the
curious public.
1t hadn't been long exposed when the
dandy entered the artists studio in
towering rage, and, finding that threats
amounted to nothing, he at last offered
to huy it. even at considerable adj

Marriage by Halter.

Among ignorant people of English
birth it is fully believed that a wife
bought with money or goods is legally
married if the purchaser leads her all
the way home by halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian, tells of a village poet known
to him who bought wife for a half
crown and led her 12 miles to his cot
tage.
The squire and the rector protested
to the village poet that he was not
legally welded.
why. yes L be-" he replied. "I'n
take my Bible oath never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the door
sill and the door was shut.
The latest instances of such wife sales
occurred in 1865 and 1859, when wom-
en- were sold in Little Horton and in
Dudley. In these cases a blue ribbon
took the place of the straw halter.
But, gentle ladies, the symbolic idea
was the same.

Perfect weather marked the opening
of the womeu's championship tourna-
ment at the Arsenal Golf club yester-
day afternoon. All the contestants
were off shortly after ? o'clock, so
that, although it was the first 1S-hcle
match for women this season, there
was ample time before sunset for the
completion of the scores and an
nouncement of the result.
BY the conditions of the match, the
eight players making the best scores
would be eligible to play for the
championship cup, while the next
eight would qualify for the consola-
tion cups. The scores returned were
as follows:

CLAIM EA.SAU is A FAKE.
Said Reptiles Never Touch Snake Eaters
Mouth.

4
Mouth.
1t is claimed by the Moline Journal
| that Ea-Sau, the snake eater, who was
one of the leading attractions on the
street fair midway, is fake
The Journal says that the entire
feat is a fake of the smoothest kind,
and one which baffled the closest OBJ
server to detect while he performed
his act. Ea-Sau, whose real name is
j. w. LaPorte, is highly educated, and
| very intelligent man. To at least a
couple of Moline men he admitted his
act to be q joke, yet he challenged
| any one 10 duplicate it. His only COM
petitor died in ST. Louis while Ea-Sau
was performing in Moline, and today
the latter stands without rival, and
money pours into his hands.
The feat cannot be done without q
certain amount of nerve, and few men
would tackle the uncanny job for any
amount of money.
In discussing the matter he did not
90 into details. but admitted that a
snake never touches his mouth, other
than his lips, which cannot be avoided
and still carry on the deception. A
silver plate absolutely protects his
mouth, being hinged at the back. 1t
is similar in construction to the plate
of set of false teeth, but he holds
secret the manner in which he pro-
tects the sides of his mouth. The
plate has sharp edges which protrude
slightly above his teeth, and with the
vice-like plates in operation take off
the head of the snake slick and clean,
much to the astonishment of specta-
tors, who are not aware of the con-
trivance employed.
The snakes which dart at him and
apparently fasten their fangs in his
flesh are harmless. His main supply
of snakes he uses is supplied from his
farm in Phillip, Ark, where they are
fully treated and deprived of their
poison bags and teeth before being
sent to him. They are also carefully
tested upon guinea pigs and rabbits
before being sent TO him, and all
snakes from other places that are used
by him are also sent to his farm and
treated before he receives them. As
an extra precaution Ea-Sau fortifies
himself with cocaine and morphine
each day, and suffers no Inconvenience,
treating also the bites of the snakes
upon his hand, which are not so Sc
we're as they appear and from which
there are no after effects.
Beside owning the attraction of
which he him is the star, he is
proprietor of the SenSen dancers and
the Midway dancers. In the latter
show II charwoman and Il kitchen as
sistant from the Kimbtll house were
recognized as the real thing from the
worlds fair. -
Ea-Sau and his attractions cleaned
up cool thousand dollars profit for
the week.
