WHAT MAIDSTONE LOOKS LIKE.

New York Mail and Express.
The maidstone is supposed to be taken
from the stomach of a white deer. IL is
about the size of an English walnut. and
slightly porous. When a person is bitten
by an animal afflicted with rabies the
stone is placed on the bite. 1t immedi-
ately sticks. sometimes for half an hour.
one OF the greatest fears of the cow
puncher is of being bitten by a skunk.
In the cattle country. when the puncher
is on the range and must sleep outdoors
of nights. he hardly ever lies down on the
ground without thinking of this danger.
When he Is bitten IL is almost always in
the face. Nine times out of ten hydro
phobia symptoms develop. II most cases
he is anywhere from 20 to 80 miles from a
doctor. and search is made among the
ranchers for a maidstone. The cow
puncher is simple In his faiths. and he
clings to this one. And, indeed, many
marvellous tales are told of the success
of this somewhat vague healer.
The writer knows of one remarkable
case. A man in a New Mexican cattle
town was bitten I'm the arm by a mad dog.
The nearest doctor gave his aid, but he
was not able to decrease the swelling. A
maidstone was sent for from a distance
and applied to the bite. The curative
properties Of the stone lie in it's power of

poison. AS the stone stuck this streak

~Me and Betsey Killed the Bear"

To the Editor of The Journal.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina. used
to tell this story When Buncombe coun-
tv was being settled. a weazenfaced old
man and his buxom wife made their home
on one Of the spurs of Black Mountain
In those days bears were numerous and
during the winter months daring and fe-
rociOus.
One Sunday morning in January, the
old man was up before the sun; he had
the back log on and the fire blazing. The
old woman who was also up on time. was
using with great effect a sharp butcher
knife slashing bacon for breakfast.
While thus engaged her attention was
drawn to the creaking door and on look
ing around she discovered a large bear
standing on his hind feet with out
stretched paws ready to give the fatal
hug. The old man at a glance took in the
situation and made for the loft with the
agility of a squirrel. But the old woman
stood her ground with butcher. knife in
hand. and when the crucial moment came
she thrust her left fist and arm into the
mouth and down the broad throat OF
Bruin. This caused the bear to throw
up his paws to dislodge the annoying grip
on his lizards" and as he did, the knife
with lightning speed went to the heart
of the monster who fell dead at the feet
of his intended victim.
AS the old woman stood gazing at her
handiwork, the old man dropped from
the loft. exclaiming: by granny, old
gal. we gave him HI, didn't we?''

1t is now up to the navy to show some

absolutely lay all prejudice aside in hts

hero is in being able TO keep silent under

golden kind, or he would have told some

JOHN c. CARL|SLE'S
COSTLY CAB RIDE
WIFE LOST sEALsKIN CAPE AND
ADRIVER GETS JUDGMENT FOR
$1,000 FOR FALSE ARREST.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Former Secretary
OF the Treasury John G. Carlisle's first
experience with New York cabman,
three years ago. upon his arrival from
Washington to take up his home in this
city. has proved not only troublesome, but
expensive. 1t may continue to cause him
trouble. 1t resulted in law suit and the
cabman, Richard F. Leake. Wednesday in
the city court before Judge O'Dwyer and
a jury, obtained a verdict for $1,000 DANA
ges in an action brought on claim for
false arrest and imprisonment. 1t Is said
an appeal viii be taken. and that Mr.. Car
isle will carry the case to the highest
court before he will pay the damages.
Mr.. Carlisle and his wife arrived in this
city on the night OF December Is, 1898.
from Washington. When they reached
the West Twenty-third street ferry he
hired a cab. and they were driven to their
home No. Washington Square North.
Mrs. Carlisle had several packages with
her at the time, and it was not until the
next morning that she missed her three
hundred dollar seal skin cape. Mr.. Car
lis.e made a report of the loss to police
headquarters, giving description Of the
cabman, and a few days later Leake was
arrested, but upon a trial he was dis
charged. A short time afterward he sued
Mr.. Carlisle for 5000 damages for false
arrest and imprisonment.
Leahe tOiu "a ms arrest anu IcLScsSs but
denied that he knew anything about the
seal skin cape. Mr.. Carlisle denied he had
caused the Arrest OF the cabman, but said
it was done by the police.
When they got into the cab his wife
wore another wrap and, as the night was
bitterly cold. she placed the sealskin cape
on her knees. They did not miss II until
after they reached home. 1t was found
some days later in a pawnshop. Mr.. Car
Isle went TO the ferry the day after the
loss. He could not identify Leake posi-
lively, but Mr.. Carlisle said the cabman
he had noticed particularly had aasorrel
horse with white feet.
Leake testified that while his horse was
a sorrel IL did not have white feet He de-
MED having driven Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle,
and said his passenger that night was

He remained with us until morning.
We dressed his foot as best We could. The
wound disabled him from further SER

Morning came. and with its awakening,
a rumor that Jackson had fallen in the

news-all of us were anxious. He was
one of us. Later i'm the day staff offi-
Ger came along our lines and informed
US that he was only wounded.
This satisfied us. and his spirit still abid-

lows along the river. ! have already re-

The effect was just the opposite on the

confident of success. Jackson prayed for

something, which he intended doing. not
for the glory of himself, but for others.

TO THE BUSINESS PUBLIC.

Regarding the malicious article
against me in yesterdays Star, it is
sufficient for the present simply to
state the fact that the young man who
presented the petition in question re-
fused to make any statement whatever
to the Star reporter as to why sigma
ture was not made, although the re-
porter, sent for that purpose, endeavor-
ed by cross questioning, to have him
make the very statement which the
Star libellously published later in the
day. His reason for declining was that
his recollection of the incident was too
indefinite to warrant any statement
whatever.
My reason given at the time was that
1 wished to take no part at all in the
gubernatorial controversy.
The lying statement of the Star that
I did not believe Gov. Dole was an
honorable man" is on a par with their
other Hbellous charge of Sept. 9Th,
which the Fourth District Committee
unanimously branded as false in their
resolutions of Sept. 10th in the public
press.
1 am entirely willing that the honest
public should put their own valuation
on these personal attacks of the Star.
Very truly,

CASTLE AGAIN SUED
BY MRS. MONTANA
Accounting Asked of Moneys and
Property Held in His
Possession.

Mary j. Montana has brought suit in
the First Circuit Court against w r.
Castle for accounting of all moneys
now held by the defendant. The plain
tiff states that prior to December 80,
1899, she was seized and possessed of
all those certain premises in Manoa
Valley, at which time the defendant
was an attorney, and as such was her
to one W. C. Achi for $4,000, and the
plaintiff signed, sealed and delivered to
Aehi warranty deed therefor. The
plaintiff says she is informed and
alleges it to be the fact that as part
payment of the purchase price of said
premises Achi did make, execute and
deliver to the respondent Castle, a
promissory note for $4,000 payable three
years after date with interest at the
rate of per cent per annum, and as
security therefor, did attempt to con-
vey to respondent by way of mortgage,
certain dairy property, and thereafter
the plaintiff received on account of said
note $500.
The plaintiff says that the mortgage
so executed by Achi and accepted by
Castle is not good and sufficient evil
dence of the property sought to be con-
veyed by way of security, does not
properly describe the property, does not
provide that the lien shall attach to the
increase, of live stock, does not provide
that the herd of stock shall be kept
up and is Improperly and carelessly
drafted and unsafe, and not executed
with a view to protect your oratrix."
She further states that neither at the
time of the acceptance of the mortgage
by respondent, or when she received the
$500, nor at any time thereafter was she
aware of the character of the mortgage
until on or about August %, 1902, when
she was SO informed by her attorneys,
and was ignorant of the fact that it
did not properly describe said prop
erty" She states she has demanded an
accounting of Castle, but he has
fuse to account to your oratrix.'' She
asks the court to cause respondent to
pay to her all moneys belonging to her
now in his possession.
