CUMBERLAND, Nd, July 10.-There
was a serious battle between a gang OF
tramps and a large number of South
Cumberland people this evening. The
tramps demanded money off B. & o.
Engineer Thomas Gray, and because
he would not give it to them gave him
a beating. A number of citizens then
went after the tramps and before the
chase ended at least five hundred had
joined. One of the hoboes. John Rey-
nolds, was found by officers later on
the railroad with his head crushed and
| unconscious. He has since revived,
but is il a critical condition. Two
more of the tramps were surrounded
and caught and officers are now after
the rest.

Dangers of Laughter.

1t is surprising to learn from the
highest medical authority in England
that laughter may be injurious.
Laughter in itself, says the British
Medical Journal, cannot very we'll kill,
but it may do harm. Hysterical girls
and boys with kindred nervous affec-
tions are often given to immoderate
laughter, which tends to increase nerv.
GUS exhaustion.
DR.. Feilctenfeld relates an instruc-
tive case in which little girl suffered
from very definite cardiac symptoms
after immederate laughter. The patient
was 13 years old and had previously
been free from any sign Of heart dis
ease. After laughing on and off for
nearly an hour with some companions
she suddenly felt stabbing pains in the
chest and was seized with fits of cough.
ing, followed by cardiac dyspnea, very
we'll marked. Feilchenfeld believes that
the cardiac disease directly resulted
from immoderate laughing.

7. your Name Heres

A contributor has been amusing him
self by trying to answer the question or
series of questions, What man in the
history of the world whose name began
with A-and after that every other let
ter of the alphabet in order-exerted the
greatest influence upon the thought and
conduct Of mankind?
Of course there are some letters which
are not very prolific in the names Of
great men, but we think most Of our
readers will be surprised to see how
many of the most illustrious names in
history are included and how few are
excluded.
In some cases the compiler seems to
have selected names quite as much with
view to comprehending in the list
men of many countries, as because the
name given was that Of the greatest
man of his time. The list follows:
Aristotle, Baco, Confucius, Darwin,
Ezra, Franklin, Goethe, Homer, Isaiah,
Justinian, Kant, Luther, Mohammed,
Newton, Oasian, Plato, QuiDtillian,
Rousseau, Shakespeare, Tasso, Uhiand,
Virgil, Washington, Xavier, Young,

He was brought to Charlotte and

on stretcher talking to physician,
the unfortunate man saw the lower
half of his body removed to anoth-
er part of the room and commented
upon it. he teld his name, and talk
ed nationally, and in few minutes
said to the doctor that he had only
few minutes to live and asked that
he be given something to stop the
pain. The doctor administered an
opiate and Parsons became quiet and
died in few minutes. The man was

BOILED IT DOWN
The Sign .s 1t Was Designed and a.
1t appeared.

A journeyman halter, companion
of DR.. Franklin, was about to set up in
business for himself and wished to have
an appropriate sign to put over his
door. He designed one that bore the fol
lowing inscription: "John Thompson,
Halter, Makes and Sells Hats for Ready
Money" Following this was picture
of hat. But he was not quite certain
of the suitability of his sign, and he de-
cided to submit it to his friends for
their criticism.
The first that he showed it to object
ed to the word chatter" because it
was followed by the words "makes
hats, which sufficiently explained that
he was a halter The word was struck
out.
The next said that the work '.makes''
was useless, because the customers
would not care who made the hats so
long as they were satisfactory and the
price was not too high. He struck that
out also.
The third man said that the words
..for ready money" might az well 60,
as it was not the custom to sell hats on
credit; every one who bought expected
to pay. These words taken out, and the
inscription read, "John Thompson Sells
Hats
His next friend said "sells'' might as
well come out, because nobody expected
him to give them away. What, then,
was the use of the word? "Sells'' was
accordingly struck out and chats" was
all that remained, following "John
Thompson. %
Even this, short as it was, was fur

stood, "Jobn Thompson, with the fig
