whose blood was the patch. DO not
keep the patches near your bed or in your
sleeping loom. The spirits make d noise

ing the jailer at Mishawaka, Ind, was
aroused by the clang Of his door bell.
On coming to investigate he found
standing outside G. w Tompkins,
guarded on either side by a man with
a gun. The guards were e. IL. Wat
kins, a wealthy farmer, and his son,
who claim to have found their prisoner
in the act of stealing their grain a
couple of hours before. They captured
the alleged marauder and marched
him in front of leveled shotguns SIX
miles to the Jail.
Statistics lately issued show that the
Tramsvaal war must have drawn pretty
heavily on the equine resources of Ire
land. The number of horses and
mules in Ireland in 1899 is given at
10,415, while in 1900 it had gone down
to 597, Sal, a decrease of 12,774. The
falling eff was altogether in horses,
these being fewer by 1892 than in the
previous year. Mules, on the other
hand had increased by 548, which
seems an extraordinary thing, as the
demand for them for military purposes
was also very active.
