weeks old, and gives promise of being.
like his brothers and sisters, hale and
hearty.
Mrs Swartwood is remarkably WELL
preserved woman. She was married
when very young, and her first baby
was born fourteen months after her
marriage. There have been but five
years since during which the house
hold has failed TO be blessed with a
baby. These years were 1874, 1883.
1887, 1888, and 1896. But two Of them
were in succession, and in the succeed
ing years twins were born.
OF the entire twenty-five children
there were but the two sets of twins,
which were born In 1889 and 1893. One
of each set of twins is dead. Mrs.
Swartwood can recite the hour and day
each child was born.
Regarding her married life, Mrs.
Swartwood talked freely. 81 was mar
ried when l was IA years old. l loved
VIII when was girl and i wanted to
be married. Ever since we have been
very happy, and l would not change

these children! Amt they riches enough,
and every one living at home except
the two girls that got married. It's
nice for father and me to have them all
here although it does crowd us q bit

Mrs. Swartwood when | came out Of
the dining-room. Father makes about
$40 month. and the boys bring in
about 800 a month. and while we get
along nicely we have nothing to spare.
We've given all the children as good

wasn't it? Well. agree with him. 1t
has been to me. Every woman should
get married, l think. l don't know
much about the new woman, but If she
don't believe in married life | don't
want TO know anything about her.
WHAT'S as happy as having children to
love you and you loving them?
None of my children has been a
source Of grief. trouble. or anxiety to
me, and l think God has been especially
kind TO give me so many. Yes, sir, you

ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.
An Important Astronomical Event
in the Early Spring.
Astronomers Divided between Emotions
of Joy and Sorrow Over tho Coming
Event : Stations of Observation = Stu
dents Coming to Norfolk

Astronomers are divided between the
emotions of JOY and sorrow over the
coming eclipse OF the sun; JOY because
Of the fact that they will soon have
an opportunity OF observing this Won
derful phenomenon at home; sorrow
because it will deprive them and their
scientific friends OF the long, delightful
Journey TO India. which was tile fea-
ture of the last total eclipse of the
great shining orb of light.
Although the eclipse OF the sun is L
natural event which has inevitably
taken place periodically since the world
began and has been behcld by the
dweliers of the earths surface ever
SINCE Tie time when the earth began to
turn upon its axis ana 10 revulvc
around the sun, nevertheless it WAS
years before the eclipse was recognized
as an established phenomenon one that
could be predicted and depended upon
as occurring at certain place and
date.
AS late as 1873 this was doubted by
the astronomers OF northern countries,
ana very learned German work of
thirty years later declared that the
event Was IL purely local ana accidental
one, thing which might occur at any
time and yet which might never occur
again.
Even to this day the eclipse is ur-
known as an eclipse To the savagcs,a and
travellers III Central Africa have made
use of their knowledge of astronomy
ana nave awed the natives into submits
sion by predicting that which was 10
them Il pcrfeftly certain event.
There have been stories told with un-
doubted backgrounds OF facts of how
African travellers who have fnIlpu int an
the hands OF cannibals have secured re-
lease by bringing down the VENGEANCE
OF Heaven upon the heads of those who
were about To take their lives by in
vokinS the gods and calling upon the
sun To come To their aid. they have
managed by Il knowledge of astronomy

Sunday EYenin6

There WAS considerable excitment
Sunday evening at 7:3o cauaed by three
shots being fred in the Bank saloon
back of Albers' drug store. The crowd
were just leaving the park when their
attention was attracted in that direc-
tion by the shots.
Chas. Bergsland, the proprietor of
the saloon, had discharged his bar
keeper, Edward Walmsley, who was
drunk. There were no words, and
Mr.. Bergslapd went to waiting on his
trade while Walmsley sat dow at the
south eud of the bar. About half an
hour later Bergsland was standing at
the north end of the bar talking to
Dave Andrews and a man named Muir
ply when Walmsley rose and drawing
a sixshooter said "I'll kill you" and
fired two shots at Bergsland.
The thres men tcpped around the
bar and ran out OF doors and as they
did so Wslmsley fred the third shot
which took effect in the ceiling. The

to the wine case, while the second shot
hit the casing below the north door
and glanced across the alley.
Officer Pat Dwyer was on the scene

under arrest, and assisted by Officer
Cristley placed him in Jail.
Men who have known WalmsIey for
years say that he is usually OF very
quiet disposition. but when drinkirg e
he is inclined to be qu,rrelsome. Mr..
Bergsland says he does not know what
caused Walmsley to try to kill him for
they lad no trou BILE whatever.
