just what they are claimed to be, .

Mr.. Hiland's very positive statement
seems to settle all doubt as to whether
or not Rheumatism can be cured.

MIDGET WOULD BE ALDERMAN
City Of Boston May Have Four.Foot
Representative,


The smallest man in Boston wants
to represent Ward in the Common
Council. The boom began as
Joke. It may end by creating a four
foot city representative, Fred V. Nc
Donald, of Charlestown.
Young Frederick has seen exactly
twenty-five summer suns come and go
over the top of Bunker Hill. He
attended school, flew kites and spun
tops like the rest Of the boys In
Charlestown, but unlike them he re-
fused to grow.
Forty-eight inches was Frederick's
height when he appeared before the
registration commissioners and claim
ed the distinction Of being a voter.
He wore knee breeches and his chin
came to the top of the railing, but he
succeeded in convincing the officials
that he was twenty-one.
On election day boylike person ap-
peared in Precinct 4, smooth faced
rudy checked youngster, in the same
knee breeches that had startled the
registration officials. Mcdonald was
the smallest voter that had ever
marked ballot in Charlestown.
The little voter was a str light demo-
crat, but the dignity which he as
sumed was too much for the humor
of the big democrats of Precinct a.
Somebody said: We'll send Freddie
to city Hall, knee breeches and ALL"
The joke was forgotten by all save
the boy.
He thought about it, and the more
he thought the more City Hall seemed
a possibility. He began to cultivate
the democratic leaders.
When they dropped into his place
Of business on Chelsea street, he
listened gravely to funny stories; he
even told them himself; he talked
ward politics until the wise ones b.

Donkey Carries Off Seal.

There is a donkey on st. Mary's
Island of the Scilly group which, 1t
can be truly said, is no ordinary ass.
This animal, which belongs to Mr..
Woodcock, farmer, of Portloe, was
strolling along the beach near Banth-
earn, when it discovered a seal which
had indiscreetly fallen asleep on the
rocks.
The donkey seized the unexpected
prey in it's mouth and carried it dis
lance Of quarter OF mile inland.
Here some laborers rescued the seal
alive. 1t is As pounds in weight, feet
inches in length, and Mr.. Woodcock
has offered it to Mr.. T. A. Dorrien

Greatest Of All Truants.

Berlin lays claim to the distinction
of having the champion truant of the
world. He is boy of 10. Nothing
could make him attend school, and 1t
finally became necessary to send him
thither each day in charge of a police
man. This lasted for week or So,
and then he began to run away from
home at night so that the policeman
could not find him in the morning. To
stop this practice he was locked up.
One night he jumped from the win
dow in the room where he was con-
fined and landed in the street, thirty
feet below, with his skull and most OF
his ribs broken.

DIE BY THEIR OWN HAND.
Seven Aldermen Of Peszer, Hungary,
Avoid &C nvlctIon by Death.

NNSto SSuv'Shtou ~ SSoeHs
An amazing tragedy, and one, in all
probability, without precedent, has
taken place at Peszer, a small, muni-
cipality in southern Hungary.
The entire municipal council, con.
sisting of seven persons, all related to
each other, committed suicide.
The reason for this is as remarkable
as the act itself. 1t appears that an
opportunity arose 70 sell a forest
which was municipal property.
The council resolved itself on this
occasion into family council. and the
utmost care was taken by the seven
that no hint of the idea of purchase or
sale should transpire in the neighbor-
hood.
With the secrecy Of plotters they
held meetings to discuss the matter,
made their own terms and concluded
the sale without any of the other in
habitants being any the wiser. Deeds
were drawn up by themselves, and as
they were the only members Of the
council no outside signatures were
necessary.
The sum paid for the forest was
considerable, but, instead of passing
into the municipal exchequer, 1t was
divided into seven portions, and each
OF the related councillors appropriated
a share and kept it for his own use.
At last, however, the whole affair
was discovered IL dramatic manner.
when, rather than face the conse-
quences Of their action. the seven
councillors held hurried meeting and
there and then put an end to their
lives.-Paris Herald

One of the mos. remarkable OF
these freak wills was that scrawled
on the door of a miners shanty In
British Columbia. The accompanying
illustration gives the entire Will
which, with the signature, comprised
only fourteen words. Tim MerricK,
who willed his estate in this highly
original manner, was n miner living
near the town of Golden. Since his
coming to the district, in 1863, he had
worked steadily, and, it was supposed
with great success.
One day, in 1886. he was found by
one of the mounted police lying dead
in his little cabin. The place was
searched for papers but none OF any
special value were found. Merrick's
will was discovered, however, written
with chalk on the inside of the door OF
the cottage. 1t read: 1.-THE State may
have all they find. I've got no heirs" "
The authorities made hasty inves-
tigation of the premises, but without
discovering anything, and the search,
as far as they were concerned, was
abandoned.-New York Herald.
