WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
erusty Old bachelor Uncle Gives
Niece Advice That Brings
on Trouble.

After she had been married six
months, says the Detroit Free Press
she went to her old bachelor uncle, who
believes that a matrimonial alliance
is a voluntary acceptance of slavery.
Suffering from the conjugal yoke,
hey?" he replied to her presentation OF
Affections.
"No, uncle, from the conjugal joke"
for she would not humor his preju-
iices.
"Same thing" with hardening
voice, "but / require details before
giving advice"
"Well, he is a practical joker of the
worst sort He delights % slip salt

According 10 society gossip at Lon
don the Connaught household is the
Mecca of marriageable princes. In
addition to the report that the crown
prince of Germany is there to court
one Of the daughters of the duke and

and that the poorhouse stares us In
the face; swears that the house is
haunted; anything to scare me and
give him laugh"
"Of course. Marriage makes brute
of a man and fool of woman. But
don't you be a soft little silly. Go
right back at him with his own
weapons. Mix glue with his shaving
soap. Dust the inside of his under
clothing with red pepper. Put sand
paper in his shoes. Change his best
hat for one two sizes larger. Pretend

Keep him in hot water day and night.

She acted on this advice. The hus-
band thrashed the uncle. The wife
holds that he did just right, and now
there is a prospect that they will live
happily ever after.

Hurts from Fish Fins.

In handling fishes it requires a GER
tain amount of care to avoid being cut
by tbs fms, which in some species are
to some extent poisonous. The Key
West fisherman has an unbounded hor-
ror Of being bitten by almost any kind
of fish, as he fears blood poisoning
will set in, although according to
those who have studied the question
there seems to be very little founda-
ton for this fear.

HORSE ORIGINATED HERE.
what Scientific Investigation in Bris-
toll County, Texas, Has
Developed.

The Texas fossil expedition recent
ly sent out by the American Museum
of Natural History has made a val
liable and startling find by unearth-
ing the remains of n prehistoric horse.
This fossil animal is a remarkable dis
covery, as it proves the origin of the
horse to have been in America, says
the New York Herald.
1t was generally believed that the
horse originated in Europe, especially
as the aboriginal Indian tribes first en-
countered by the white men on this
continent had no horses.
The fossil horse now discovered has
been mounted and placed on exhibition
in the tertiary mammal hall of the
museum. The skeleton was found by
Mr.. j. w. Gidley in a bed of sand, about
100 feet in thickness, in Bristol coun-
ty, Tex.
1t is an entirely new species of pleis-
tocene horse, and the only one so far
found. A new name was necessary to
designate it from other types, so the
term Equus Scott was selected, in
honor of Prof. w. D. Scott, of Prince
ton, well known paleontologist. Sci
ence can hardly calculate the exact
time. when this fossil horse roamed the
marshes of primeval earth and was
smothered up and embedded by the
first great dust shower.
Comparing the ske Teton of the fossil
horse with that of an ordinary horse
of the present day, there are some
striking differences. Thus the skel-
eton of the fossil horse represents an
animal with a head about the size Of
that of large draught horse, but with
height of body and length of limb
of an ordinary western pony, and with
q length of body very similar to that
of the zebra.

NORMAL SCHOOLS NOT NEW.
They ORIGINATED More Than Two
Hundred Years Ago In Reims,
France.

The normal school, now such firmly
established feature of education in
the United States, is not product OF
this country, but of France. It's orig
inator was Jean Baptiste De La Sale,
who died in 1919, and was canonized in
May, 1900. La Sale was a priest and
dignitary in the cathedral at Reims,
in France. He enjoyed the best advan-
tages for an education, but his heart

STORY OF TOUGH LUCK.
Southern Brothers Who Have Twice
Missed Great Fortunes In
Boring for Oil.

There are two men in Texas who
are gritting their teeth, and swearing
between grits, nowadays, says a Gin
cinnati Enquirer correspondent.
The tWo men are brothers, and
they missed fortune. They owned
the land on which the famous Lucas
gusher was struck at Beaumont, Tex,
and gave it up only short time ber
fore the fortunate owner struck his
bonanza. They settled on the land
about a year ago and drilled for oil.
At a depth of about 700 feet they
struck a flow of ten or fifteen bar
rels a day, and then sat down to rest
and enjoy their income. Ten barrels
a day wasn't much, and they finally
got tired and went to Silver Lake to
see if they couldn't do better. They
gladly disposed of their Beaumont
land for a small sum, and were high
ly pleased with the change of terri
tory when they struck little larger
flow at Silver Lake. When they were
busy congratulating themselves on
their good luck the Lucas well was
sunk on the former property to a dis
lance of 1, 40Ofeet and the biggest gush-
erever known was struck. If those two
brothers had gone down 600 or 700
feet more they would have been
worth millions to-day, instead Of plug
ging along with little old 2o-barrel
well.
That isn't their first experience,
either. A few years ago they bought
some land in West Virginia and
cleared off the timber, making quite
a tidy sum. They sold the land for
few thousand dollars and went to
Texas to hunt for OIL, Iron was dis
covered on the West Virginia land
shortly after they disposed of 1t, and
81 100000 wouldn't buy it now. These
two men certainly have cause to be-
wall their luck.

No External
Symptoms

The blood may be in bad condition,
yet with no external signs, no skin
eruption or sores to indicate it. The
symptoms in such cases being a variable
appetite, poor digestion, an indescribable
weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh
and general rundown condition of the
system clearly showing the blood has
lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin
and watery. 1t is in just such cases that
S. S. S. has done some of its quickest and
most effective work by building up the
blood and supplying the elements lacking
to make it strong and vigorous

KeeIey's Old Motor.

A great ball, probably six feet in
diameter, that though of ordinary
cast-iron represents many thousands
of dollars, is located outside an indus
trial establishment in Twentieth
street in Philadelphia. 1t is painted
a homely yellow and bears in streaky
letters the advertisement Of manu-
featuring firm. Formerly this globu
lar piece of iron did duty as a portion
of the famous Kelley motor. 1t weighs
probably a ton, and its present value
is represented by the market rate OF
scrap-iron.

On the following morning the Sc
nior partner of Greenland g. Co.
showed some anxiety in his face as
he entered the Office.
"Where's Evans?" he demanded,
looking over at the unoccupied desk.
"Not here yet, sir" ehirped Ralph
Conner.
"Sick, 1 guess" growled the Office
manager.
"Wen, we'll, hope not" returned
the kindly old man. "Mr. Lawson has
not been here yet, Waldron, has hep"
"No, but he tefephoned that he
would be. in a few minutes. Here he
is, now"
Good morning, Mr.. Greenland"
cried a thin, under-slzed parsonage,
with bright red hair, entering at the
moment. 81 hope you've got that
charter all fixed for me-"
"My dear Mr.. lawson" commenced
the old broker, in an evidently apollo
getic manner, 81 trust you"
II am a man of my word" inter
rupted the newcomer. eff you
haven't that steamer for me I'll trans
fer my custom elsewhere. Grimshaw
has cut in ahead of me twice now,
and if you can't supply the vessel"
While Mr.. Lawson was delivering
this TRADE Jimmy Evans had come in,
looking very whl,e about the face,
but with excitement glistening in his
eyes. Hastily scribbling few words
upon a scrap of paper he stepped
forward and presented it to his en-
ployer. He returned to his desk i'm
mediately after doing so.
Mr.. Greenland glanced carelessly at
the little memorandum, started, read
It again, and then stared over at the
now busily-engaged junior, in open
mOuthed amazement.
"-I'll simply have to do as said"
continued the wouldbe charterer,
"and make new connection"
IT would remind you that I also
am a man of my word" replied the
head OF the firm, throwing back his
head, land I never promise unless l
can fulfill the obligation. l must
confess that 1 really did not think
that 1 could fill your last order, but.
by a lucky chance, here is just what
you wanted-the Cecilia, 2,1O0 tons,
is in my hands for charter at a lump
sum within your limit. This vessel
is just entering the harbor, light, and
will be ready to load at once"

of ignorance and earnesteness.

"But you have not answered my
question yet" put in Jimmy, fearing
that he was not making a good inn
preston. 81 don't mind telling you
that it is very important matter for
us. Unless we make this charter by
tomorrow morning, we shall lose our
biggest customer"
Dear me, dear me-" cried the
other; that's too bad!-after all

"Then you're not a 2,OOO-ton tramp
steamer?" queried the boy, with a
falling infection in his voice.
mo, only a 100000 steam yacht"
replied the portly individual, gravely;
"but l like your spirit, and I'll tell
you what we might do. We might
help you to find what you're looking
for"
Capt. Patterson" called the other,
reckoning a grizzled old sailor to his
side; "this young man is in search
of an incoming tramp steamer of
about 1000 tons, that may be open
for charter. See if you can help him
out. won't need the yacht again
till late tomorrow"
And away he went to waiting
cab, with an attendant valet and two
sailors loaded down with small lug
gage. After having followed the sug-
gestion of the thoughtful yacht own
er, Jimmy returned aboard, the gang
plank was taken in, hawsers cast off,
and the little steamship departed
upon her odd mission, steaming di-
rectly down the great New York bay,
and into the open sea.
