A xantinne out.rtrtea.

An Englishman of Lymington had
the misfortune to live in continuous
quarrel with his wife, who was mod
ern Xantippe and threatened in case
she survived him to dance over his
grave. 1t was her lot to outlive him,
but it was not so easy to carry out her
threat. The husband had the precau-
ton to make an injunction in his will
requiring his body to be buried in the
sea, near his residence, and without
ceremony. The injunction was complied
with.

Some firms have quite elaborate provi-
sions for the purifying of the atmos-

In the absence of these a simple plan
is 10 put Il spoonful of oil of turpentine
into liter bottle OF we'll water, shake
it well, and then blow it about the
room through an atomizer An i'm.
provement is to mix a few drops Of ace-

of Mrs. Anna Bowen that she. and not
Frank Morgan, did the shooting which
killed Donald ellis at Mrs. Bowen's
farm in Forest township on the night
of April % last. Morgan who was liv-
ing at the Bowen farm at the time of
the tragedy, confessed to doing the
shooting and was convicted at the sept.
term of the circuit court in Chcboy-
gan of murder in the second degree and
is still in the county Jail awaiting a de-
cision of the supreme court upon mo-
ton for new trial. 1t is believed that

woman he loved. Mrs. Bowen declares
that she had been without rest since
the crime was committed and was
haunted by the dead man, who has re-
peatedly appeared TO her, and she
claims has censured her for her injus-
tice to the innocent, hence her con-
fession.

The Farm Beats the Mortgage.

There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the
resources of a Nebraska farm: A farm
er up there from Missouri got discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the first
year. and as there was mortgage OF
$500 on his farm, was about ready TO
jump the whole business, but deter
mined to make one more effort and
sowed eighty acres in wheat. 1t hap
pened to be a poor year for wheat and
the stand was not very good. Conclud-
ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled up his stakes and moseyed back
to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight
the mortgage all by itself. The farm
was equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lus-
tily. Some of the neighbors were hon
est enough to write about it down 10
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got in
terested enough to come back and take
a look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold it for
enough to pay off the mortgage and
the rest of his debts and had a tidy lit
tie surplus over, with which he moved
his family back and now declares there
is no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln
