Caught In the Act.

A woman suspected that her has
band was in the habit Of kissing the
servant girl and resolved to detect him
in the act. On Saturday night she
saw him pass quietly into the kitchen.
The servant girl was out and the kitch-
en- was dark. The jealous wife took a
few matches in her hand and, hastily
placing a shawl over her head, as the
6 irl often did, entered the back door,
and Immediately she was seized and
kissed and embraced in an ardent man
ner. With heart almost bursting the
wife prepared to administer q terrible
rebuke to the faithless spouse, and,
tearing heraelf away from his fond en-
brace, she struck o match and stood

Ills Big Boots.

AS a sergeant vas bawling out his
orders il u barracks in Dublin and
watching the line OF feet az the new
recruits endeavored TO obey tho word
of command, he found 10 his astonish.
ment thas one pair Of feet, mere
noticeable on account Of their extra
large size, never turned.
Without taking his eyes off those
feet, tho Sergeant bawled out 4 second
order:
About face
He could see that all the feet except
those he watched turned in obedience.
Rushing up to the owner, q little
fellow, he seized him by the shoulder,
shouting;
"Why don'tyou turn with the ress?"
II did!'' replied the trembling re-
cruit.
"You did, eh? Well, I watched
your feet, and they never moved"
Its the boots they gave me, SIR"
said the poor fellow. They're 80

Cure for Smallpox.

In 1864 Col. G. R. Hanleiter, of At
lanta, furnished for publication the
following remedy for smallpox. This
remedy for smallpox was communi-
GATED to Liverpool, England, Mercury
by Hon. Edward Miner, who says:
II am willing to risk my reputation
as a public man if the worst case of
smallpox cannot be efectually cured
in three days simply by cream of tar

Ono ounce of cream of tartar dissol-
we'd i'll a pint Of boiling water, to be
drank when cold. ct short intervals.

have myself restored hundreds by this
means. II never leaves marAs, never
causes blindness, and always prevents
tedious lingering. IF the people would
ouly try it and report cures to you. you
would be required to use many COL

I'ohr hinutes Long.

Bet %ur,oni, Of Macon, won a law
suit in the Federal Court at Hannibal
a few days aeoin a way unusual among
lawycrs-by silence. Mrs. Martha Il.
Phipps, Of Macon, sued tho Atchison,
T%opcka.and Santa Fe Railway Compa-
ny for $4,000. She claimed that a
spark from one Of its engines caused
the burning Of her deceased husbands
business property at Ethel. The ties.
timony showed that the Santa Fc train
stopped at Ethel four minutes on the
night of the fire, but also that the fire
was well under way before the tram
pulled out and the roads attorneys
argued that it w6s ridiculous to main
tain that a fire could be started by a
spark and get we'll under way in such
a short time. Mr.. Nortoni devoted
practically his entire argument to this
point.
"He said,' says the Macon Rcpubli-
can, "if a young fellow was sitting on
a sofa playing hands with his girl
time travelled like an express train,
but if you dumped a lot of engine
sparks OF the pine roof Of a dry build
ing in summer time four minutes were
ample to settle the fate Of the struc-
turc in spite of all efforts to save it.
There were some incredulous smiles at
this. The attorney took out his watch
and handed it to Juryman l.. S. Har-
Ian, a banker, of Clifton Hill, Ran
dolph County, and requested him to
signal when four minutes had passed.
The jurymen leaned over and looked
dow at the watch. Then they got
tired and settled back in their seats.
Mr.. Harlan lowered his hand and rest
ed it on his knee. The attorney
shifted his feet a few times and sat
down in q chair. Judge Adams look
ed at the clock and then out Of the
window.
"a deputy marshal put his head in
at the door to see what was the matter
and waited the result of the curious
scene. Nearly every MAJ in the room
that had watch was studying it's face.
The speaker was sacrificing four min
utes of his allotted time, but he felt

Juror Harlan announced the four min

object lesson to the jury and was a
startling exposition Of what might
transpire in that time. The Jury

WOODEN LEGS COMPENSATE.
Court Holds That They Make up for Loss Of
Real Ones.
Rea1- Ones.

The Courts have decided that arti-
fetal limbs should be accepted as part
fecompense for the loss Of real ones,
The matter came up in the Appellate
Court in Chicago in the suit of Will
liam Hamilton. lie suffered the loss
of a leg on the Pittsburg. Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis Railroad and
secured a verdict for $4,000. Though
he possessed an artificial leg, he
thought the judgment WAS not adc-
quatc and he appealed his case.
During the hearing Hamilton objcc
ted seriously to the testimony of TWO
men who had artificial legs. One man
who had two wooden legs testified that
he could get around at out as lively as
a person with real legs and could
dance and ride o bicycle.
In voicing the opinion Of the Court
Judge Freeman said:
cart and invention have done much
to mitigate the Inconvenience occa-
stoned by the loss of limbs and to re-
store the power Of locomotion and the
earning capacity which otherwise
might be greatly lesscned OF lost and

LENGTH OF LIFE.
Longevity of Man Increasing, Says
an Austrian Physician.

Medical men are discussing a lee
ture by Prof. Pfuger of the Univer-
sity of Bonn, on longevity, in which
he asserts that the average length of
human life is steadily increasing. He
maintains, says the Indiana Medical
Journal, that one-third of all the
deaths registered in Munich are due
to heart disease, brought on by the
immoderate use Of beer, and that to-
bacco also claims a large percentage
of the victims, Among 40 centen-
narians who have come under his no
tice there was only one smoker, while
nearly all professed to a moderate use
of alcohol. What Prof. Pfuger most
seriously warns people against is the
thought and fear of death. The mind
must be occupied, he says, to secure
Longevity. Hard-working men who
retire rarely live much longer.
The German census statistics show
that in 1871 the centenarians num-
bered 147 men and 287 women, butt in
1900 only five men and thirty wom-
en-. The above press report is Of in
terest. As is well known, in Munich
the consumption of beer per capita
is greater than elsewhere in the world
and the percentage Of heart disease
is higher. Beer has a worse influence
on the heart than either wine or
whisky. Tobacco is better borne by
adults and the aged than by youth.
No child should be allowed to smoke
before the age of 81. Wine has been
said to be the milk Of old age; it
shouldnotbe used until past the noon
of life. That the German census
shows a reduction of old men since
the war with France is natural. The
age Of industrialism, of city life, Of
strain, Of alcohol and Of venereal dis
eases with increase of tables dorsalis
and general paresis is the present age
Of Germany as it is of the United
States. Only the sedate and the tenn
perate in all things can expect length
Of days.

EXTREMELY AWKWARD.
What Happened When a Young Lady
Got Into the Crowded Bus.
She stood at the corner ofFItha I

She stood at the corner ofFithaY-
enue and Thirty-fourth street just at
dusk peering timorously at the two
lines Of hansoms ~glittering in two
long rows up and down the avenue,
says the New York Post. Her fluffy
edged skirts were gathered tightly
about her and held clear Of the side
walk. On the top Of the hill she
deserted, after a few minutes Of wait
ing, a numbering bus being cleverly
Unanswered through the press of traf-
fc. She gave a happy little sigh and
stepped down from the sidewalk wav-
ing an ornate purse at the driver as
q signal to stop. She climbed in gay
" enough, though every seat was &C.
cupied. A tall man with a silk hat
arose precipitately and crushed his
hat against the roof.
II beg your pardon" murmured
the young woman.
The man smiled as pleasantly as he
could, as he extricated his ears from
the hat, and the other passengers
glared at her as if holding her &C.
countable for the mishap. Her dis
comfort grew with the insistence Of
the glance. Then she undertook tC
pay her fare. First the purse would
not open, then it opened with &
calamitous rush and there was a clat.
ter of coin on the floor of the bus
The man with the mashed hat sprang
once more into the breach of gal
lantry. He got down on the foo
and fairly groyeled after the coini
while the women in the conveyanc,
he was the only man aboard-helt
up their feet and made a pretense o
helping him.
At last nearly all the coins wer,
collected; the uncomfortable younl
woman assuring the red-faced mai
that he really need not look for an,
more. The man arose redder thai
ever, and smiling, %serenely smiling
extended his hand in a dumb offer t
put her fare in the box. The younI
woman had forgotten and closed tn
purse, so it was not until the bus ha,
gone two blocks that she succeede,
in getting the thing open. Another
as she extended the coin = sh
dropped it.

A MERRY, MERRY u
OLD KING IS He.

COPENHAGEN, Nov. ~. The
traordinary gathering of royalties.
who have assembled to celebrate the
fortieth anniversary of King Chris.
tian's accession to the throne. The
venerable and kindly ruler will OBJ
serve the anniversary tomorrow sur
rounded by his six children--Crown
Prince Christian and Queen Alexan-
dra of Britain, King George of Greece,
the dowager czarina of Russia the
duchess of Cumberland and Prince
Waldemar. and also many of the 80
grandchildren and 20 great -grand-
children.
Despite the fact that he has passed
the four-score milestone of life S
journey. King Christian is one. of the
busiest men in Europe. He invariably
begins the day at this time of year
at o'clock. He usually enjoys a
solitary breakfast in a little dining
room on the ground floor of the pal
ace. To those who may imagine that
royal tables groan under the weight
of game and foies gras, pasties and
dishes innumerable. IL will come as
revelation that his majesty of Den
mark breakfasts on coffee and a
wheaton cake. After breakfast the
king is accustomed to take a turn in
the grounds of the palace.
A sovereign usually receives an ex-
tensive post every day, and King
