SILLY VOWS WELL KEPT.
Artist Whose Masterpiece Was Due ia
an Oath He Took.

The French artist, Gericauld was
determined to allow no distraction to
interfere with the painting of his great
picture, The Wreck of the Medusa."
He had his head shaved and vowed
that ne would never allow his hair to
grow until his work was done. This
VOW he religiously kept, in spite of
strong temptation to break it, and the
reward of his heroism was the most
perfect painting of his life. A story is
told of young man in E gland, a
great chess enthusiast, who was so
annoyed at his failure to solve an APP
parently simple problem that he vowed
he would neither sleep nor eat until
the solution was found. He shut HIM
self up in disused room and was
found four days later by his relatives
terribly emaciated and out of his mind.
He spent a year in the lunatic asylum
as the result of his rash VOW; and the
problem remains unsolyed. It was for
a very curious reason that an
condemned herself to more than
thirty years confinement to her house.
She had married Widower, as miserly
as he was unromantic, and he insisted
that his second wife should wear the
clothes left behind her by his first
wife The wife was as mutinous as
the husband was resolute, and she de-
termined that until she could have her
own clothes she would never leave the
house-a vow she kept until her death.
Woman appears to be at the root Of
many eccentric vows, for it was ha-
tired of the sex that once impelled
well-known lawyer to swear that he
would never speak to a woman again
as long as he lived. Nothing would
induce him to see lady client, and he
would never conduct case in which q
woman appeared IS witness. He
never employed female servant, and
deliberately cut all his lady acquain-
tanees. The inevitable result was that
the men deserted him, his practice
dwindled and he died, less than year
ago, alone in a squalid room.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

A Curious Lawsuit.

A curious lawsuit is in progress at
Kansas City, Kan, brought by S. K.
Howe against the Armour Packing
company, to recover fourteen acres of
river front occupied by the packing
houses. The old man tells a veritable
Robinson Crusoe story. Many years
ago he took up his abode on a little
island in the Missouri river, living in
a hut with a dog and a few fowls for
his only companions. He was lord OF
the domain, and no one questioned the
fact. Finally the stream changed its
course, and what was an island became
valuable river front, and the Armour
company forced him off.
