HISTORY ON MANS SKIN.
A Piece of Artistic TattoofnE Re-
veaIed by an Arrest Of the
Paris Police.

A remarkable life story is reported
from Lyons. In consequence of COM
plant lodged by local butcher, a
young man, of weak and miserable ap-
pearance, was arrested for theft. He
protested that he was innocent of the
charge, and that he had never before
been in the hands of the police, says a
Paris report to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. "To prove the truth of my
statement" he continued, barring his
breast, look at this, and see whether
it would not be easy to establish my
identity"
The young fellow having stripped to
the waist, it was found that his body
was entirely tattooed with historical
scenes, which included the murder of
the Due de Guise and the death of Pres
ident Carnot.
The mans life story was as remark
able as the rest. Son of the wife of a
superior officer in the French army,
and born out of wedlock at Marseilles.
he was placed by his mother with a
woman in that town, who received go
francs month for some years for his
keep. Afterward he served on several
coastlng vessels as cooks boy, where
he met former student of the Beaux-
Arts school, who was also in difficult
ties, and who tattooed his BODY in a
most artistic manner.

THEY TOOK NO SOUP.
In ahe Early Days of the Republic
1t Was Food for Invalids
Only.

Serving dinner in courses is COM
paratively modern fashion, first in
troduced in diplomatic circles in
Washington, D. c., and initiated from
France. Up to the date of President
Folks administration the course din
ner among Americans had made no
further progress than that of serv-
ing fish and soup separately. Soup
was considered such foreign "trip
perry that note written by Gen.
Winfield Scott. in which he explained
that he was ''just sitting down to a
hasty plate of SOUP" covered him
with such ridicule as to materially
contribute to his defeat as q candi-
date for the presidency, says Lippin-
colts. Soup in the early days of the
republic was considered as food for
invalids Or poor people only; later,
when the social splendors of the
court of Empress Eugene attracted
rich Americans in focks to Paris,
French table manners and custom
pushed the old English dinner fash
ions to the wall. It is doubtful, how
ever, if soup ever found place on
the dinner table of the wealthy
Maryland or Virginia planter, unless
green turtle, which was really a
stew, might be so called.

To Cross or Not te Cross-Fifth Avenue
A most ingenious and fascinating
idea is that of Mary Raymond Ship

in the August McClure's. The author
imagines her heroine walking slowly
up the east side of Fifth Avenue pom
dering the question "Shall | go to
Sixty fifth street to the Whitney's, or
shall I go across the street and buy
gloves?" The question may have
seemed trivial to the heroine; not SO

she is to marry hangs Oh her decision.
Then follow, as if both had happened,

The author leaves the reader to decide
for himself.

LUNACY ON THE INCREASE.
Swedish Professor Says That Edu-
Gated Women Are the Chief
Victims.

Hermann Lundborg, of the great
Swedish lunatic asylum at Upsala,
says that lunacy is increasing among
Swedish women and more especially
among the educated classes. In the
lower classes insanity is brought on
chiefly by the cares of life or intern
perance, but in the educated women
the main cause, he contends, is their
education.
DR.. Lundborg emphatically asserts
that the forced training to which this
class of women submit themselves is
most hurtful.
1T is monstrous," he says, Ito sub
ject women to this competition, and
if the competition does not cease eff
fects upon future generations will be
disastrous"
DR.. Lundborg states that the Swed-
ish who have been educated in acade-
mics have remarkably small families
when they have any and that i'm too
many cases their family relations are
unhappy owing to their inability to
discharge household duties.

KING EDWARDS HEIGHT.
From This Extract 1T May Be Draw
That His Majesty liz About
Fivc-FOot-Six.

Why people should make bets on
matter about which they have no
information, and then ask me to de-
eide them without ascertaining
whether I know any more than they
do, Is one of the mysteries of edi-
torial life, says a writer in London
Truth. Here is the latest example Of
this singular practice:
"Sir: should esteem it favor if
you will kindly answer in your Truth
columns or privately, what the
height of King Edward VII. is, as two
papers have already been written to,
and they decidedly disagree, one stat
ing five feet five and one-half inches
and the other five feet four inches,
and I shall, therefore, take your
measurement as authentic, etc.
One might have supposed that his
previous experience would have
shaken this gentleman's confidence i'll
editorial infallibility. Why did he
not write to the kings tailor? I
have never had occasion to take his
majesty's measure. But if my guess
is to decide the knotty point, l
guess five feet seven inches. No
doubt plenty of people will be ready
to correct this off hand; but I do
not believe I can be more than half
an inch out either way. Certainly
both the figures given above are I'M
der the mark.

A Reliable Medicine. j. A Reporter of the Advertiser Inter- views Our Local Druggist,
 Mr. B. C.. Fowler. ,...5 ,....-.-.-- +.---.--- The Interview of Interest to Every
 Person in Montgomery.

So many patent medicines and adver- tised cures are now offered to the pub lie that our readers should be glad to know the opinion of man who has spent years in handling them. and profit by his advice.
 Said MT. Fowler: After having sold drugs and all kinds and makes of medi- cines for so many years, naturally we have learned something about them, their value, and power to cure.
 There is no one medicine that will cure everything. but this do know, that if the people of Montgomery only realized the wonderful curative and notwithstanding power of Vinol, would not have clerks enough in my store .o put up the orders for it.
 Continued MT. Fowler, You see, VinoI Is not patent medicine, and 1t actually does contain every one of the fifty odd medicinal curatives taken from fresh cods' flyers, with other vitalizing ingre- dents. It contains no poisoeous drugs or nauseating oil. and you know just what you are taking. vinol has wonder ful life-giving properties; 1t tones up and invigorates every organ of the body t9 do it's work, and we know 1t will make rich. red blood, build up the depleted sys- tenn and create strength.
 When tell you that we have never sold in our store such a valuable rem edy as VinoI for the following ailments, and that if 1t fails to accomplish what we say it will, We will refund your money, if will show our faith in its wonderful curative and vitalizing powers.
 "It will build up rundown. tired, de- bilitated people. It will make the weak and sickly strong and well. It will make flesh for thin people. It will increase the appetite. It will cure nervousness, irrl- tabiIIty and sleepiessnes. It will cure stomach troubles, dyspepsia and indi- gestion. It will make rich, red blood. IL will make weak, puny, ailing children strong and robust It Is the greatest strengthener and body builder in the world for old people. It Is great strengthener for weak women. It is a boon to nursing mothers. It will posi- lively cure chronic coughs and colds. IL cures bronchitis It makes weak lungs strong and is of untold value in con- sumption and all wasting diseases. For the convalescent 1t has no equal as a strength maker

Gamblers Will Return to
This City and Vote
SAID TO BE TWENTY IN ALL
Will Get Railroad and Living Expen-
ses and Something Besides
Machine Made Deal.

In dire need of their votes at the
coming city election the republican
machine. it is said, has made arrange
ments for the return Of 20 gamblers
who left the city when the law max
ing gambling a penitentiary offense
became effective. At the time the
gamblers left it is understood that a
deal was made that IL their votes
were needed they would return. Rail
way fares, board and something be-
sides will be paid each individual out
of the pot subscribed by machine can
didates. which will total a tidy sum,
as several of the gamblers have emf
grated to towns several hundred
miles from Walla Walla.
Before leaving the city every gamb-
Ter registered. AS a further promise
it is intimated that if the machine
succeeds in winning out in the coming
election gambling will be allowed to
reopen in a quiet way. 1t is not eX-
pected that games will be permitted
on the lower floors and in plain sight
as they had been running before the
new law became effective, but they
will be relegated to upstairs rooms
where l0Okouts may be stationed and
only those who are known to be all
right will be admitted.
