WHY THE DWARF DISAPPEARED
Amusing Experience Of . Physician with
Ono Short Leg.

Amusing Experienes Of Phvstcisn with
One Short Leg.
From the Columbus Press-Post:
"Once in a while one runs across a
good story that is true, and one of the
best that l have heard recently was
told me at Pomery a couple of days
ago and vouched for as absolute truth"
said w. T. Thinner. Pittsburg COM
mercial tourist. at Smiths. 1T is saio
to have happened to well-known
Meigs county physician, who is jolly
good fellow and appreciated the story
too well to keep it a secret. 1t seems
that the medical man has a leg that
or more by an attack Of infammatory
rheumatism.
In walking he uses cane pecu-
liarly constructed. so that instead of
going completely to the ground with
the short foot he places it upon a sort
of rest built upon the cane, which is
steel supported. When standing he
frequently shifts from one foot to the
other, and when standing upon his
dwarfed limb he loses something more
than a foot in height. Beyond the az
flicted leg he is powerfully developed
in every particular. One day he got
on board a Ohio river steamer going
to Cincinnati. Later he took a no.
ton for a drink of whisky and went
back to the barroom. As he entered
the bartender was engaged in arrang-
ing the glasses on the sideboard and
paid no attention to him until he
called for the drink. At this time the
physician was resting serenely on the
short leg. his head barely showing
above the rather high bar. When the
bartender had mixed the drink and
turned about again the medical man
standing upon his game leg. to all ap-
pearances a decisively athletic fellow
The dispenser of good cheer looked
around a moment inquiringly, leaned
over the bar searchingly, and finally

blank questioning Where in the HI

paid for it, then cody drained the
first. while the barkeeper looked on
in establishment. As the medical man
walked toward the door without the
use of the cane in sort of hop-go-and-

Natural OuaStlQn.

A very long time ago the British
government ordered that English
should be taught in Welsh schools.
AS a result. in 1865 a colony Of perse-
cuted Welsh miners fed from the Brit
ish tyranny and settled in the deserts
Of Patagonia. These men were heroes.
and with most magnificent courage
they dared to live in q desert where
not a plant would grow. where the
water was brackish and the heat in
tolerable. They were surrounded by
wild tribes Of hostile savages, and
made them warm friends; they were
ruled by a foreign government. and
became loyal citizens. Through long
years of want and famine they never
despaired. They have turned the desert
into a beautiful fertile country. have
become rich, number 5000 people, have
extended their string OF settlements
right across South America, own a
paying railway. and ship large crops
of wheat. wool. ostrich feathers and
ouanaco skins. They left Wales to es-
cape the tyranny of the English Ian
euage. and now, rather than talk
welsh. they converse largely Of their
freedom in excellent Spanish.

PLEASANT PROSPECTS.
Astrononors Say Moon Is Getting Ready
to Fall.

AstrosoDsrs Say Moon Is Getting Ready
It is not likely TO happen just yet
awhile. but many astronomers are pre-
pared for the fall of the moon at dis
tant date. II is probable that even
tually the moon will be drawn we'll
within the sphere of attraction Of the
earth. AT present she is just far enough
of to be kept in tow. so to speak, and
to whirl round and round US as we'll
as spin herself. But when the inevita'
BILE time comes, and she is drawn far
into the attraction radius, she is likely
to be pulled right down and fall onto
the earth, for her attraction is. OF
course. much weaker than ours. She
is in more danger of this at one time
than another, and the danger is in
creasing gradually but surely. 1t may
be 10000 Or Il. 900 years yet, but when
she does fall there will certainly be a
terrific bump, and the whole system
Of the earth will be badly jolted. 1t Is
calculated that, taking the most dan
gerous epoch of the year into consid-
GRAFTON and her consequent position,
she is likely to fall on the northeastern
part Of Europe, and win entirely wipe
Russia and Germany from the map.
Tidal waves and all sorts Of horrors
will occur, and the fallen moon will
probably break up. The entire climate
of the world will be altered, and Eng
land will probably be more or less i'm
proved, according to the scientists.
