CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Discarded Wife of "Atheno," the Alleged
Six-Day- Sleeper, Says He Is
a Fakir.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Mrs.
Carl Atheno, wife of the alleged hyp-
notist and slumberer, who spent six
days under ground at Kansas CITY
and was dug up after an interment of
two days in Omaha, AYERS that her
husband is a fakir. Mrs. Atheno de-
clared that air was admitted to Ath-
eno's grave through the shaft down
which the public looked, and that
food and drink were passed to him in
the same way. This was given to
him in small quantities, and at night,
when there were, of course, no specta-
tors present. Mrs. Atheno SAYS that
she herself lowered food to her hus-
band in this way. A desire for re-
venge prompted Mrs. Atheno to make
her exposure of her husbands alleged
methods. Atheno has deserted her,
and now the woman who watched be-
side his grave night and day while he
was buried here has become a Nemesis
and asserts that if possible she will
put him behind prison bars.

action seemed utterly ine1cLsa bic
now. He would be angry with hel
for supposipg him capa BILE of such a
heinous crime, and now that he had
| begun to treat her as she longed to
have him she could not endure the
idea of coldness from him. Now he
was gathering up his bundles and pre-
pairing to go up the stairs, and she
leaned her head on her hand and did
not say a word. She nodded good
night to him, and then looked down
into the fire. She knew he would
come down again. And he did, anx-
iously and hurriedly, peering into the
dark corners of the landing.
She watched him nervously until
she caught his eye.
"You are looking for your kittens ?"
she asked.
Eyes; why
you'll not find them here"
He questioned her with a surprised
glance.
Il took them," she answered.
"Away?'
Not very far; into my ROOM"
But 1 do not understand" Prof.
Eyer moved nearer to her.
Neither do 1 now. L thought you
wanted them for specimens. 'Scien-
tifc sacrifices,' you know. And they
looked so helpless, and-I love kit
tens"
She felt like a naughty girl con-
Tossing some mischief. She saw his
eyes darken.
ooh, L know it was wrong of me to
jump at such a hasty conclusion, but
some one told me how you once APP
piled electricity to a dog and made it
suffer horribly, and 1 was afraid
couldn't bear"
She stopped. His mouth was closed
in the straight line she dreaded.
81 will get them," she said, and
started impetuously up the stairs.
But she was very tired, and coming
from the cold outside to the warm
room had made her dizzy. She caught
at the bannister for assistance. Prof.
Eyer put his hand very gently under
her elbow, and in silence they walked
to her room.
''Wil you get. the basket?" she
suggested.
He brought it to her in her sitting
room and waited while she put the
kittens into it. Felicia felt very small
and mean. She almost wished that
she were blind like the kittens, that
she might not see how dark and
angry his eyes had grown.

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Cornstalk Disease killing stock.

DR.. W. c. Rayen in his report to
Live Stock Commissioner Dunn on the
nature of the disease which has been
killing cattle all over the State during
recent weeks, and concerning which
there have been numerous complaints
to the State bureau Of agriculture,
gives it as his opinion that the cattle
at Burford's, in Giles county, died from
the cOrnstalk disease, a malady which
has its origin from fungi which grow
on decayed cornstalks. The cattle in
question had been turned into a field
which had lately been denuded of its
corn, and by eating the stalks that
were left on the ground they contracted
the disease which ended their lives.
Capt. Dunn says there is no cure for
this disease, and the only preventive
is to keep the cattle off the stalk
fields. Horses are dying all over the
State from eating nodded and rotten
corn, and Capt. Dunn says the only
remedy for this is to stop feeding such
corn.

GOLD WAVE IN THE SOUTH.
After a Hard Grip, Lasting Thirty
Six Hours, the Frost King

IT RESULTED IN SUFFERING AND DEATH.
At Many Points All previous Decem-
Der Records for Low Temperature
were DrOken-Rising Tempera-
ture Noted From All Southwest

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 16.-1t is believed
that the cold wave which has held
the south tight in its grasp for the
past Sc hours has been broken. In
many cases the lowest temperature
recorded Sunday night broke all rec
ords for December. In Atlanta two
deaths attributed to the cold, both
of the victims negroes, were report
ed to the police. The police gave per-
mission, Sunday, for coal and wood
yards to open and serve the suffer-
ing public.
The temperature at a. M, Mon
day, was nine above zero, the coolest
recorded for December since 1882.
Freezing temperatures were report
ed Monday morning in Florida as far
south as Jacksonville, and from to
16 degrees below freezing in south
ern Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana.

I "You don't look much like a cheer

No; and the feeling is all gone,

Max Eger's face changed. Felicia
looked down quickly and laid her
hand caressingIy on one little crea-
ture in the basket.
Il might have known you could not
harm a thing so helpless and white
and little" she said.
Prof. Eyer suddenly placed his hand
over hers and gathered hand and kit
ten in a close grasp.
1T is little and white and-love-
able" he said, intensely, land if you
wish to prove that you do not think
me cruel and heartless you will give
it to me and let me care for it as ten
derly as 1 long to-"
Felicia tried to slip her hand away,
but he held it tightly in his. 1t rest

ten squirmed uneasily; he could not
understand his position in this mat
ter. No wonder; he was still blind.

| deserted lips and cheeks until they
| ressed. For Felicia was afraid of the
professor; afraid of his voice, wheth
er harsh or tender, afraid of the dark
gray eyes that could be both cold anG
commanding. When she finally had
to leave the kittens she slowed them
away in the depths of her laundry
basket, locked her door, and went away
feeling as if she had left behind her
some dark and terrible secret.
Christmas eve in a newspaper office
is like any other evening in the year,
except that there is twice as much
work on hand. 1t was past midnight
when Felicia went up the steps of her
clearinghouse. A mixture of rain
and snow was falling, and the wind
was sweeping around corners with a
velocity that wrapped Feicia's skirts
about her ankles Like a mummy-cloth,
and threatened to carry off her um-
brella. While she was struggling on
the doorstep a firm hand grasped the
refractory umbrella and a deep mas
culine voice at her elbow said:
Permit me, Mees Fay" Once in
awhile the Professors accept was de-
cided.
THANK you. Isn't this weather
beastly?"
''It is very bad weather"
Felicia always felt rebuked for her
slang by his measured words.
why, you look like Santa Claus!"
she exclaimed, when they got in The
hall where it was light. Prof. Eyer
threw back his head and laughed. Fe
licia had never noted before what a
boyish ring his laugh had.
81 do feel like old Kris Kringle to-
night" he said, laying down the bun
dies that had suggested the likeness
and approaching the open fireplace,
where Felicia stood warming her numb
fingers. ''AIl I need are the sleigh,
reindeer and the ability to get down
chimneys neatly to make me start out
on my rounds"
Felicia was amazed. Was this jolly,
animated boy really the petrified Pro-
fessor? Here was man who consid-
cred Christ a myth, and who cOnse-
quently could not logically believe in
celebrating Christmas, now loaded
down with packa ges that bore an un-
mistakable holiday air, and seemingly
entering into the spirit of Christmas
with the enthusiasm of boy. More
over, he had steadily avoided her for
the past two months-ever since-sincs

sure that this time he would be more
careful about expressing his disapprO-
val of journalism for women. AT any
rate. she would let sleeping dogs lie.
Then she remembered the cats.
"If you haven't the reindeer and
sleigh, at any rate you shall find slip
ping down chimneys much easier than
the real Santa she said, hurriedly,
sinking into a chair. you haven't his
horizontal development, you know"
That's so, 1 haven't" He glanced
down at his rather slender figure and
laughed again-a warm, happy laugh.
Then his eyes fell upon his bundles,
and he sobered.

there is only one lady, one grown-up
lady, in the world whom L would dare

licia felt uncomfortable-''an 1 have
some doubt of the propriety of this"
He began to unwrap the largest of
his bundles. Felicia watched him, mys-
titled. Why should he consult her?
The string was knotted, and dignifed
Prof. Eyer was soon on his knees at
his task. Now Felicia was distinctly
amused. He was beside her on the
rug before the fin, and as she looked
down she could see where the damp
ness had curleo his hair into soft rings
on his neck and on his temples. How
a mother would have loved to run her
fingers through the tumbied locks
Felicia conquered the temptation.

The question was abrupt. Felicia
started guiItily. Did he know?
Il adore them!" The tone was de-
fiant.
'Then you will understand why this
appealed to me-" And he held up his
purchase for inspection. 1t was a
wicker basket. thickly padded and
lined exquisitely with blue satin, ruff
f1es of white lace and dainty ribbon

For a cat! Then he did not mean

Pan Out Heavy.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Dec. 16.-A
gang of burglars entered Rhinebeck
post office and bank Sunday night,
blowing open the safes in both places.
In the post office they got money and
stamps to the value of $500, but in
the bank they secured nothing. The
robbers seized Harry Crandall, a
rural mail carrier, who was in the
post Office, gagged and bound him and
carried him to blacksmith shop.
Here they placed him in a chair,
threw a blanket over him and blew
up the forge fire so that he would
not freeze. A night watchman named
Tallerday was also captured and
placed in the blacksmith shop. Ac-
cOrding to Crandall, there were seven

Suit Against the State.

A sensational suit has been insti-
tuted by Mary H. Phelps against
Prison Commissioner w. T. Murray
and H. T. Cory, cashier at the State
coal mines at Petros. Tenn. The bill
seeks to prevent the purchase by the
State officials of certain coal lands,
on the ground that the effort to ac-
quire this land is to permanently hem
in and prevent the development of val
liable coal property adjoining State
mine No. 1, and which is the same
vein of coal as that worked by State
convicts. The owner of this property
which is threatened to be hemmed in,
as alleged, contemplates immediate
development, it is said, and now seeks
to prevent it being permanently cut
off from the outside world.

A Bitter Feud.

A feud in the Sixth and Seventh
school districts of Warren county
growing out of the attempt to con-
solidate those districts has reached
the point of incendiarism. One night
last week the school house at Cum
mings, in the Sixth district, was set
on fire by emptying a lamp Of coal oil
on it and setting fire to the sills, but
the incendiaries were foiled by the dis
covery of the fire before doing a great
deal of damage. There is no clew TO
the perpetrators of the deed. Intense
feeling exists on both sides.
