mond, and after supper he amused us
with some 1eight-of-hand tricks. Fin
ally he turned to a North Georgia mer-
chant, who was in the crowd, and asked
him if he had ever seen an ome1et
made in hat. The merchant was a
portly, rather pompous individual, and
replied, after some thought, that he
had not. WELL said the tobacco man,
I'll bet the cigars for us two that can
silk hat without damaging 1t in the
slightest degree 7 knew what was
coming and began to giggle hysterical-
ly, but the Georgian remarked solemn
ly that he knew he would lose, but was
willing to pay 20 cents to see the trick.
with that he handed over his hat, which
was brand new, and the tobacco sales
man proceeded to send for some eggs
and broke several into the crown. He
stirred them up with a knife and then
held the hat over the gas. In about
three sections it was ghastly, hideous
ruin, dripping raw eggs through big
hole burnt in the top. The conjurer
looked surprised and panied. BY jove!''
he exclaimed, you've beat me out OF
the cigars. I've forgotten how to do
that trick!' AS the Georgian examined
his wrecked tile his face was study
for a painter. A few hours later L en-
countered him at the hotel, and he took
me aside. i won that fellows cigars
all right he said, but still 1 think it
was a kind of a foolish bet"

The Rev. Fri B. Hicks Almanac.

There is no comparison between
former editions. and this splendid
Almanac for 1900. now ready. Printed
in beautiful colors. on much finer paper,
its 100 pages are packed with lnvalu-
able information on storms, Astronomy
and meteorelogy. 1t is illustrated with
nearly zoo finest half tones and other
engravings. This superb book would
sell anywhere for fifty cents, but it
costs ONLY csc copy, and every snb-
scriber to Rev. Irl r. Hicks now
famous paper, WORD AND Works, at
SI.oo a year. receives this elegant
Almanac as a premium. WORD AND
WoKKs is a recognized leader among
the best family and scientific journals,
while nothing of its kind can compare
with the Hicks Almanac. One dollar a
year is nominal price for the jousnal

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Mrs. Mary seivert Falls From Ladder
While Washing Windows.

Mrs. Mary Seivert, who resides on
Grover street, was seriously injured
this morning while engaged in wash
ing windows at the residence of Mrs.
J. A. Swift, in Park place. She had
been working in an east room, where
the windows extended up distance of
ten feet. In order to reach the top of
the panes she had been standing on
the top of step ladder. Without any
warning the ladder broke and the lady
was thrown to the floor below, a dis
lance of eight feet. The people of the
house at once rushed to her assistance,
but it appeared evident that the woman
was seriously injured. She became
de1irious and DR.. Pugh was at once
called to attend her. twas impossible
to move her until the doctor admins
tered an antidote.
Later she was removed to her nome
and an examination revealed that no
bones had been broken, but her back
had been badly wrenched by the fall.

Mrs. Pauline Beherens Alleges That Her
Sister Attacked Her With Pike Pole.

From all reports the vicinity of the
home of Mrs. Pauline Beherens, on
North Water street, was the scene OF
very warm fight Friday afternoon and
had it not been for the assistance of
neighbors it seems probable that
tragedy would have been enacted.
Early this morning Mrs. Beherens
came to the police office and asked
that warrant be issued for the arrest
of her sister, Mrs. Carl Frederick.
Mrs. Beherens alleged that her sister
attempted to kill her Friday afternoon
with pike pole.
The story of the fight is long one.
It seems that the children of Mrs.
Beherens had started to school when
the son of Mrs. Frederick went up to
one of them and hit her. This was
seen by the mother of the girl, and she
at once went to the defense Of her
daughter. She took hold of the boy,
and in the scuff1e which followed a
button was torn off the boys coat.
The boy at once told the story to his
mother, and Mrs. Frederick went over
to the Beherens' house with trouble
in her eye. The two women were soon
engaged in a wordy war, and after a
few very complimentary remarks had
been passed, according to the story OF
Mrs. Beherens her sister took a pike
pole and attacked her. The end of the
pole pierced the arm of the complain
ant and she at once fed to the home of
neighbor for assistance. The other
woman returned home.
This afternoon Mrs. Frederick was
arrested and taken before Justice
Slater, where an examination of the
case is being held.
