Especial Correspondence

Brimfield, Nov. Tuesday morning
while Mrs. Mcconnell was preparing
breakfast, she was startled by a man
walking in with his throat horribly
gashed. She hurriedly summoned the
doctor, and upon investigation 1t was
found the man was from Akron. he

Prof. A. NJ. Douthilt attended
political meeting at Edinburg Wednes>
day night, and it is rumored that the
Prof. vows he will never attend an
other meeting on halloween. When
he got ready to return home he found
his horse quietly waiting for him, but
no carriage After a patient search,
he found his carriage with several
others hoisted upon large porch all
tied together with ropes. 1t is said
the Prof took the joke good naturedly,

can't others do likewise instead of
vowing vengeance upon the heads of
some of our fun-loving youths.

DAVIS on TI1e British.

Hon. Webster Davis, IN mis-
address on the Boer war, says
among other things
Talk Of brutality, cowardice,
villiaAy, but here's a case. II
saw British Iancers, ride over the
battlefield after o hard fought
battle, where the Beers had been
so greatly Outaumbered that they
were compelled to retreat, and do
some hellish work. L saw one
lordIy-looking scoundreI ap-
preaching an old gray-naired
Boer who had beck0ned for MIN
to come and had asked him for a
drink Of water, stick his lance
into the Old fellow and remark:
There 9 your drink, Another
thrust quickly followed, and Il
heard that old man pray him to
end his agony. A second lancer
came along just then and gave
the old man the third lick, and all
was over. Thus the brave, civ
ilizing British play Jheirrole with
the wounded and dying. There
vas another case of 0arbarous
warfare which came TO my notice
An old Boer soldier was shot
through the lungs, lying pros
trate upon his back; when taken
up by the Red Cross nurses he
was unconscious. Those Red
Cross people nurSed that man to
health and he is now well, in the
ranks fighting in earnest for VIC
tory Lying in a dying con-
dition upon the ground from a
ghasrly wound inflicted by a ter
rible dumdum bullet thrown by a
British soldier, those cowardly
lancers, instead of being human
in their dealings with the men,
threw their lauces into his side
eleven times. Heavens! Does
such action show the British
soldiers to be much Of a civil
izer?"

ACrs nF INSANE eARsER.

A barber has been on trial in
F0.Gsirs. France, charged with
cutting the rlroaIs of eight of mis-
customers. His plea was HsaH-
i5v that ne mad an irresistible
impulse to DO the act and could
not control himself. On the trial
a number OF BARRIERS were intro
duced, who testified that they
we're subject TO q sort Of fascina-
-ion while at work, .mpelling
them to cut the thIoats Of their
customers.
Insanity experts testified that
this impulse was precisely the
same appeal to the insanity lurk-
ing in all men, which causes peo-
pie to Jump from great heights,
and which impeis men working
on big mechanical knives to per-
nit an arm, a hand, or a niger to f.
be- cut. A number of scIenun-
oauy recorded cases were cited, 7
among them those Of several
who were compelled to
their profession because
The toucn Of the keen-cutting in
excited them to COM
NIT murder.
The barber was acquitted on
the criminal charge, adjudged in
sane and sent to an asylum.

His Mistake ms ia American Girls.

in the same house with her for two
months. studying German for his pro

the usual absurd ideas about the girls
Of this country. who. in the minds Of
the untraveled foreigner. are rather
hOyden creatures. who smoke and have
other masculine traits.
After dinner one day in the early &C
quaintanceship of the couple the Off
Ger offered the Louisville girl a ci9a-

"Why. | thought all the girls in The

never cigarettes. only pipes. If you will
get that pipe off the mantelpiece in the
next room | shall be charmed to sma..t

and filled it. and it was not until lie
saw the wry faces his friend made liz
attempting to carry ont the joke thai
he appreciated the situation. He was
