SHAVED HIS WHISPERS
When Aged Gentlcmnn's Wife Re-
turned Pathetic Scene Ensued
and Hubby Repentcd.

There is well known old gentleman
IN Detroit who might a few days ago
awe been easily distinguished in a crowd
by the length of the hirsute adornment
On his chin. His wife is a motherly
old body who hadn't seen her hubby
without those patriarchal whiskers for
more than 80 years. till one sad day last
week, that will long be remembered in
that particular household and by the
remainder of the party that were spend
Ing few weeks at the st. Clair flats.
The old gentleman rather prided him
self on his good looks. He was great
admirer of a pretty face. There were
a number of ladies in the party who be-
gan to rally the old man about his looks.
He would be much better looking, they
said. if only he would shave off those
old whiskers.
One day last week his wife went up the
river with friend. The old man disap-
peared for long time. When he finally
reappeared he was sight for the gods.
His whiskers, in which he had taken so
much pride, were in the waste basket,
and his chin was as smooth as baby's.
1t took about 10 seconds for everybody
in the house to get next, then such shouts
of laughter arose as never before had
been heard in that cottage. But, says

All Ihe customary questions asked by the
Judge the couple, through the interpre-
ter, made the proper answers.
During all this time the other couple
appeared to be too much engrossed with
each other to notice what was going on,
put as the judge handed the young man
the marriage certificate the elder wo-
man suddenly darteG forward and
snatched the paper from his hand. For
moment she stood comparing the pa
per with the one given her by the judge
little earlier. Then she began talking
rapidly to the young couple in her ma
tive tongue. For a moment they stood
as though stunned. Then all began talk
ing and gesticulating wildly with their
hands. The babel of voices grew deaf
ening and finally the judge. almost over
come by the din, shrieked into the ear of
the interpreter. Here, for heavens sake
stop that noise. What are they shouting
about?"

shouted, extending the paper to the

explained the interpreter.
After considerable difficulty the Judge
made the couple understand that this
was impossible and the marriage would
have to stand. The couple finally de-
cided to make the best Of it, however,
and left the Office. AS the four descended
the courthouse steps they were still talk

Waterford county, Ireland, three years
ago. AS his mother wanted to see him,
and she could not go to him, it was
necessary that Anthony should come to

After taking all possible precautions
his aunt put him aboard steamer at
Liverpool. He soon made the acquaint-
ance of a young Chicago woman. She
was very much interested in the child,
and also in the fact that Anthony had
an uncle in Chicago whom he prattled
about continuously. In fact, the little
fellow unwittingly sowed the seeds of
a romance. which is soon to find its Gull

traveller, Mrs. Cusack admitted that her
brother was engaged to Anthony's trav-
cling companion. AS for Anthony, he

STRANGE bat story Is repo

A STRANGE bat story Is reported
~ from Fort Plain, N. Y, to which
town Frank III. Fayant, George Cook
and Carl III. Greene have returned
alive from a visit of exploration to the
famed "bottomless" cave in the Big
Nose mountain near Speakers.
They took with them 200 feet of
rope, and after finding the hole in the
ground which gives entrance to the
cave they tied one end of the rope to
nearby tree and let themselves down
about 16 feet, where they found the
cave enlarged to a considerable extent.
They continued to descend into the
mountain until the end of the 200 feet
Of rope had been reached, when, after
an exciting experience, they were
forced to return.
Hundreds Of hungry bats assailed
them from all sides, and through the
blackness of the "bottomless' pit the
phoSphorescent CLEAN of their wicked
eyes showed that the cave was in
habited by thousands of the voracious
creatures. From the depths below
came sulphurous smell, which, with
the shrill shrieks of the bats. required
but little conjuring of the imagination
to transform the scene into one of the
under world over which his satanic
majesty is supposed to preside.
In the wet and oozy crevices OF the
walls of the cave brilliant-hued liz
ards and small but particularly lively
snakes were seen squirming to elude
the glare of the lighted torch carried
by the explorers. The ascent was
made with considerable difficulty, but
the men reached terra f1rma in safety.
Mr.. Fayant captured a lizard about
three inches long and will keep it as
a souvenir of the trip. The men ex-
press their determination to make an
other attempt to explore the cave and
will take a much longer rope.
Another good animal story comes
from New York city where, for three
hours, Mox, a polar bear, superseded
Capt Clark in command of a shin w.
Ing in the North river. The animal
was consigned to a menagerie, but
somehow or other managed to get
loose from its cage while the vessel
was moored to the pier. When the
bear got loose deck hand hurried to
the captain. 'Mox is loose" he cried
and he is chasing everyone out of the
fo'castle." Tell him to get back into
his cage" said the captain. We've
told him that, sir, but he won't" "You
