nothing Of it. but as the dog later ran
away and the finger did not properly heal
he became alarmed. and sought the adj
vice OF Mr.. A D. Hadley, who possesses
a maidstone. Mr.. Hadiv applied the stone
TO the finger of Mr.. Close on Monday and
It adhered for 19 IL hours; and later the
other stone adhered for 10 hours. Jim

six weeks ago, he having been bitten by
a mad dog Mr. Hadley has applied the
stone I'm q different cases, and it has
never failed to do the work successfully
and he is n firm believer in its efficacy.
He found the stone in Missouri 1G years
ago and for convenience broke it into
two pieces. each being equally effective.
The many friends Of Mr.. Close viii hope
with him that the stone has done its
work thoroughly and that he viii es-

honor Of a venerable citizen Of that town
He concludes with the following burst.
as tender as an epitah:
Uncle johnny Means is a character
peculiar to this town He has been here
since the opening, and is strongly in love
Glencoe. He Is the steadfast friend of
the young men who have dr.fted here and
are away from the good influences of the
home They have learned to love Uncle
Johnny. and his white hairs, his good
face and kindly manner have proved
living example of worthy manhood to
these young men that are to follow after
him. A life Of sixty-fve years without
a stain a career not without sorrow,
but more JOYS than sorrows; the DroX-
nifty Of old age. and the fullness thereof,
with scores OF friends around him, is the
benedcient heritage Of Mr.. Means; ana
all that know him, and specially those
who met with him Thursday night hope
that the succeeding birthdays may be
many and thar they may bring no bar
riers to his health or happiness"
