Exploit of q Missouri Lad In the
Ozark HiIis-stOnes His
Only Weapon.

John Vanschaick, Taney county,
lad. living near Dradleyvile. Mo-. has
made himself the hero of that locality
by killing a full-grown wildcat. The
boy was making a trip through the
White river hills a few days ago, when
his dog scented dangerous game. John
ny had left his gun at home. and re-
gretted that fact very much when he
saw a strange, furious beast of the cat
family give battle to the dog. He could
not run away and leave the dog to fight
the "varmint" alone, however, and,
arming himself with handful! of rocks.
the brave youth made an attack on the
wildcat. few well-aimed rocks drove
the animal into a small tree. but Johnny
kept up his fire till the enemy sprang
to the ground and took refuge under a
shelving cliff near little stream. The
dog could not get at the wildcat here
except by crawling under the rock. and
that he refused TO do.
The boy got long pole and punched
the savage beast out into the open field,
then the dog seized the cat and the fight
became furious. The combatants rolled
into the creek and made the water foam
with their struggles. Johnny was on
the edge of the stream throwing a rock
at the wildcat every time he could get
a good aim Sometimes the mad beast
stood up on its hind feet and struck
the dog savage blows with it's deadly
claws.
The boy became greatly alarmed for
fear the dog would be killed and pressed
his attack Finally, after stunning the
animal with another wel-directed rock,
the lad seized n club and closed in on
the beast. A few blows on the head
crushed the skull of the wildcat. The
dead animal measured nearly four feet,
and it's skin now decorates the wall of
Johnny's home, a trophy of which the
boy is very proud.

MANY THINGS WERE DIFFERENT NOVA
DAYS THE PUBLIC PROFIT BY EXPER-
IENCE.
When the striped pole or sign which
now indicates a barber shop was employ
ed to let the public know where cupping
or blood-letting was professionally per-
formed, close shaveS were of daily oc-
currence not the easy removal of the
hirsute or hairy adornment of the head

practice on his feet. Blood-letting was
used for everything from heartache to a
corn, and a pain in the loins was in
variably treated with two incisions, one
on each side of the spine. Like plasters
and liniments, these helped from the
counter irritation they created and we
may presume that had Mr.. Calvin Will
son, proprietor of the leading shaving
parlor of Niles, Mich, lived in the time
of George III of England, instead of
taking the course he did a short time
ago with his back, blood-letting would
have been resorted to. Read how he
treated his trouble:

HONEYMOON CHITCHAT.
M Oh -nooted Question OF Opening Her
Letters.


"A happy couple were honeymoon
Ing in the country when the first pack
ct OF letters from home arrived, ana
the husband proposed 10 open one adj
dressed to his wife," says a writer in
the Philadelphia Press.
Certainly not" she said firmly.
"But, Philippa." he demonstrated,
"surely you are not going to have any
secrets from me now that we are mar
riedr'
"I shall not have any secrets from
you. but Phyllis might" his wife said.
THAT letter is hers, not mine. l shall
probably let you read ft after l have,
but not till l am sure that Phyllis has
told me nothing but what she would
be willing for you to know"
"Still doesn't 1t imply lack OF con-
fidence when a wife won't show her
letters to her husbandT
"Not at ALL The lack Of confidence
Is shown by the husband when he de-
mands TO see his wife's letters"
This was unanswerable, and Mr..
Grant sank back in his chair with
amused delight In his wife's perfect
unconsciousness Of having said good
thing.
Presently she added:
al told you so! Here Is something
Phyllis wouldn't want you TO know.
Then why are you going TO tell
me?"
I'm not going to tell you what 1t Is.
You are only TO know there is some
thing you can't know-at present
phyllis is engaged" Mr.. Grant re-
marked.
"And what If she is? You are not
TO know TO whom"
