A Joplin, Mo. paper says that a
women preacher at that place recently
stopped in the middle of discourse
and picking up a bible, said she was 60
ing to throw it at man who was un-
faithful to his wife. AS she swung her
arm forward every man in the church,
but one. ducked under his seat. After
giving the man who stood the threat
without flinching, good puff, as the
newspaper terms it the preacher
learned that he was a deaf mute. The
revelation was a little discouraging
until the dodgers explained that they
had seen a women throw a brick at
hen and knew mighty we'll she
wouldn't hit the fellow she was throw
ing at and lodged as a matter of
necessity, not of conscience.
Charlie Hobart says the only way to
cure a wart is to rub it with a
raw potato which has been planted
seven days by cross eyed negro in
the northeast corner of a grave yard
in the full of the moon. Our cotnempor-
airy might have added that the negro
should have been minus a leg and
carried rabbit foot in his left hand
hand pocket. Also that the said
potato had been wstered by the tears
of a Dakota widow who was inquest
of warmer climate.

JANE CAKEBREAD AGAIN"
CityHnIi Drug Store.

A Heading Which Disappears From
 London Papers-Death of the World s
 Awful Example"
 The notorious ane Cakebread, who oc- cording to the official records, had been convicted S1 times of drunkenness, died on Saturday morning in Claybury Lu- natic asylum, having been an inmate of that institution since February, lS96. For over fifteen years CakGb-ea was a most familiar figure at Worship street, 1 ClerkenWell, and subsequently, at North London police courts. She was always voluble, and seldom failed to be anus ing. Most magistrates treated her kind ly and leniently. She was heard to say on occasion that 'it was quite a pleas ure to appear before a metropolitan po- lice magistrate" Indeed, it was sus- pected that the old woman thoroughly enjoyed her periodical visits to the courts. She delighted in the fact that she was always reported" and evinch- ed a supreme contempt for the police man who did not know her.
 Jane Cakebread was the daughter of a respectable tradesman in a quiet vil- lage in Hertfordshire, and was born about seventy years ago. It was not un- til the age of fifty that she appeared to have given way to drink and to have I ifted to London. In 1895 Lady Henry Somerset took ane Cakebread to her home in Reigate--miles away from the temptations of the public house. but Jane objected to be buried alive" as she contemptuously described her life at the retreat. Truth to tell, Lady Hen ry found her protege very quarrel some and spiteful old lady to deal with and she had to send her back to Lon don. The woman returned to her old mode of ife-seeping in gardens on Stamford Hill and begging. She was soon in the hands of the police again. On January 2l, 1S96 Paul Taylor re- manded her to Holloway for the state of her mind to be inquired into, and this time the doctor certified that she was insane. She was furious on bear ing that she had to go to the work house, an institution which she dread ed ten times more than she did pris- oh; but there she was taken in the po- lice ambulance She was removed to Claybury asylum, and for the past six months she has been dying. The end came at 9 o'clock on Saturday morn ing. The funeral will take place at Chingford Mount cemetery on Thurs day.
 It Is an open secret that the case of Jane Cakebread was the origin of the Habitual Drunkards' act, passed dur ing the last session. This act, in ninety nine cases out of every hundred will affect women of Jane Cakebread's class of which there are several hundreds in London alone.--The London Telegraph.
