began a career which will reflect no

to trial for his Memphis crime.
The woman he was with, purportng
to be his wife, upon reaching Pine
Bluff, took up her abode in one of the
East Barraque street houses of i'll

Never Misses n Match when
He Can Get There,

BIND since he was four years old,

Farming his living by that accomplish
ment. Many blind people, however, are
musicians, and that is not the curious
thing about Mike, says Golden Penny.
His penchant is not only for music,
but for football. If you ask him on
a Saturday night where he has been
IN the afternoon, he will invaria bly, tell
you he has been to see" a football
match A blind man going TO see a
football match-NonsenSe! But it is
not nonsense. Mike is so fond of foot
baIl-especially of his own pet team,
the Blackburn Rovers-that he never
misses match if he can possibly help
1t IN the season, frequently travelling
with the team to matches out of town
not for the purpose of playing music
for copPerS. as some may suppose; no,
he goes purely and simply to see the
game"
True, he sees it by proxy. He stands
among the crowd. and as the shouts 60
up and the remarks and criticisms of
those about him are expressed. he can
follow the game as keenly as any man.
and when time is called he will tell
you more about the details of the
match than anyone else. Mike is
proud of the fact that he has scarcely
missed seeing a match On a Saturday
afternoon for the last 20 years-tO say
nothing of extra games on other days.

HOW ERMINES ARE CAPTURED
An Ingenious Method Is Employed
by the Trapper to Save the
Fur from Harm.

Perfect fur, of the delicate ermine at
least, would be marred by the ordinary
snare, so the trapper devises as cum
ming a death for the ermine as the
ermine devises when it darts up
through the snow with its spear teeth
clutched in the throat of poor ra bbit,
writes Agnes c. Laut, in Leslie's Month
Iy. Semaring his hunting knife with
grease, he lays it across the track. The
little ermine comes trOtting in dots and
dashes and gallops and dives to the
knife. That greasy smell of meat it
knows, but that frOst-silvered bit OF
steel is something new. The knife is
frosted like ice. Ice. the ermine has
licked, so he licks the knife. But alas
for the resemblance between ice aud
steel! Ice turns to water under the
warm tongue; steel turns to fire that
blisters and holds the foolish little
stOat by his inquisitive tongue. a hope
less prisoner till the trapper comes.
And, lest marauding wolverine or lynx
should come first aud gOhble up price
less ermine, the trapper comes soon.
And that is the end for the ermine.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America if the peo-
pie of this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. GOut is unknown among
Swedes and NOrwegians. and the rosy
cheeks and clear compilations of the
young people of those countries are
the result of the simple food the chill

Bergen, Norway, says. "Hot rolls and
white bread are rarely seen in Sweden.
Knackbrode or hard bread is the stand
ard article of food. 1t is made of
ground oats and rye. There is no yeast
in the bread, and it is rolled into thin
waters, which are baked and hung up
where they will keep perfectly dry.
Swedes eat this bread and drink milk
for two meals day and have one meal
at which they eat meat and potatoes.
Sweets are almost unknown. Children
are allowed to eat candy only on state
occasions"
