A Sad Accident.

John McMahan, of Hoisington. was
accidentally killed by the discharge of
gun. On last Friday evening the 18th
about 6:r5. while Mr.. Mem aim and
Mr.. Valerius were hunting on the
Cheyenne bottoms. death came to one
of them in a sudden and deplorable
manner.
They were driving through the fields;
Valerious had got out of the buggy
and opened a gate; McMahn drove
through and was driving across the
road to go through another gate. He
had the two shot guns alongside of
him or between his knees. and it is
supposed the jolting of the buggy as it
crossed the ruts in the road bumped
the guns together. One of them was
| discharged, the load striking McMahan
in the chest, and bis left lung was al
most entirely torn away. The wound
ed man was Immediately taken to- a
tentnear by. and medical aid summon
ed from Hoisington. He fingered dur
ng the night being conscious most o.
the time, and died about 10 O'Clock
Saturday morning.
| John McMahan was very popular
young business man conducting q
butcher business at HoIsington for the
last few years. He was about sc
years old, unmarried, and very popular.
Funeral services were held at a. m.
Monday the 10th, and the remains
followed to their last resting place by
a large concourse of friends.

COhWeh Pills.

In New England cobweb pills are
supposed to cure the ague, and in the
south a certain knuckle bone in pigs
foot is a sure cure for rheumatism If it
be carried in the pocket or worn sus-
pended from a string around the neck.
Tracing the spider web pill, it origi-
mated in China, where all species of in
sects have certain positive or negative
values in medicine. Tn Picking it is
customary to give two or three scor-
pions or spiders to patient ill of fever
In Ireland the peasantry swallow small
spiders alive to effect cures. From
these the cobweb pill of the New Eng
land native was easy. In Flanders the
live spider is fastened into the empty
shell of walnut and worn around the
neck of the patient. AS the creature
dies the fever decreases until it is gone
entirely.-Rochester Post-Express.

The Changed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having attacked
men, but nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human victims, as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers used to do. Neither does he
lie in wait and, bouncing upon a hunt
err, tear him into bloody shreds in de-
lighted fiendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzly's disposition is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change in the char
acter Of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar bear of the arctics. When
the stations for the Hudson Bay COM
pany were established. the diaries Of
the men there often referred to the
fright of attacks by polar bears. Many
a navigator in the arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly a century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays it is looked
upon as a cowardly beast. Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bears dispOsitiOn.-Ou

And so it goes with royalty. You
may be princess in love with brave

the prime minister marries you to a

there is nothing for you to do but

Here in this country it is a little
hard to comprehend the way in which

Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers from the great
typical group found in Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe-

the center of Abernethy, near the en-

graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1172, found
handsome bells within it's walls. These
were afterward removed and now hang
in a neighboring steeple. The origin Of
these towers is now somewhat doubt
full. but psychologists are generally
agreed that they were built in connec-
ton with churches "fOr defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They were afterward
used as belfries, the Brechin tower hav-

A Witty Reply.

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument Of
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
justice is apt to say to counsel for de-
PENDANT in error that the court does not
care to hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff in
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing in it, and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
tice Waite said, 1.-THE court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was little deaf and, al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke, did not hear what he had said
and, turning to Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him, asked what had been
said.
'Oh, hang itw replied Carpenter in
tones audible to the bench. ''The chief
justice said ne would rather give you
the case than hear you talk. Youths
