Discrcditiuc nm AstroIorer.

A certain king, says a tale from the
Persian, asked an astrologer, How
many years of life remain to me?" The
wise man replied, Ten" The king
became very Respondent and betook
himself, as one stricken with a sick
ness, to his bed. His viZier, who pos
sessed great wisdom, sent for the seer
and in the kings presence asked him,
"How many years have you to live|
He replied, Twenty" The vizier or
dered that he should that very hour be
executed in the kings presence. The
king was satisfied and commended the
sagacity of his minister, and no longer
attached any importance to the astrolo-

AN INGENIOUS BURGLAR.
How Tic Opened Safe without Tools

or Explosives.
An extraordinary account is given Of
COW safe was opened by a robber
who had at his disposal no instrument
of any kind, but operated merely with
his finger nail. The person who accom-
plished the feat revealed his intention
Of robbing the iron safe in hotel to
another young man, who happened to
be the cousin of the hotel proprietor.
AS a matter Of course the proposed
scheme to rob was revealed to the own.
er of the hotel, and little before mid.
night, when it was to be put into exc
cution, couple of detectives were con.
cealed behind the office counter.
A short time afterward the robber
entered the Office gently, without either
tools or explosives wherewith to open
the massive iron receptacle, the COM
bination Of which it was evident he did
not know. He had, however, resorted
to an ingenious plan Of his own.
He had pared the nail of his index
finger on the right hand until the blood
vessels were exposed. Then by placing
the sensitive wound on the combina-
ton lock he could distinguish the move
ments of the tumblers as they fell. For
more than an hour did he work, and at
last there came sharp click, and he
swung back the doors of the safe.
He was in the act of filling his peck.
cts with the valuable papers it con.
tanned when damper was thrown up
on his activity by the sudden grasp Of
the detectives, under whose escort he
was taken to prison.-London Tit-Bits.

Eugene V. pebs

One OF the most popular and power
full lecturers on the platform to day is
the great labor champion, Eugene V.
Debs. In his crusade against white
slavery he has been called the Wendell
Philips of the labor movement.
The Columbus Ohio Press says OF
his lecture: "Mr. Debs' lecture at
Columbus few weeks ago drew an
audience of four thousand people. 1t
was one of the most notable occasions
in the history of the capital city. Inc
vast audiedce was enchanted with the
magical grace of his speech and the
dignity and elevation OF his sentl-
ments. They had listened to one OF
the greatest discourses ever inspired
by courage, conviction and humanity
in any age of the world"
The people of Audubon have the rare
good fortune of having an opportun-
ity to hear this king of the platform

The Official Count.

The board met Monday and at noon
proceeded according to law to open
and count the election returns from
the several precincts of the county
Owing to the fact that the poll book
from Melville was sealed with the
ballots from there the judges of cleo
ton and clerks from that precinct
were asked to come in. They came
and in the presence of witnesses they
opened the Melville package, took out
the poll book and, leaving the ballots
therein, sealed it up again. The
count then proceeded, ending with
Cummins having 504, Mott III, Bren-
imam As. Northup -, Farquhar III,
Hamlin s, Wattles 1853 and Baker 242.
The official count appears in tabulated
form in this issue.

Danger In "Home Remedies.o

'"The trouble with poor persons who

Perhaps the most remarkable bridges
in the world are the kettle bridges in

of kettles and fastened by means OF
ropes to form raft. A sufficient num-

"From the color of 4 mans hair may
be learned good deal in regard to his
Intellectual ability" says a professor of
the University of Lille who has for
some months been closely studying the
subject. Schoolboys with chestnut hair,
he maintains, are likely to be more clev-
er than any other and will generally be
found at the head of the class, and in
like manner girls with fair hair are
likely 10 be far more studious and
bright than girls with dark hair. In
mathematics and recitation these boys
and girls, he claims, specially excel. On
the other hand, he says that boys and
girls with brown hair are most likely tc
attain distinction through their irdi.
viduality and style and that those with
red or auburn hair do not often excel

says: "My people came from the north
Of Ireland. My great grandfather al
ways stuck his knife through the bot
tom of his eggshells after he had eaten
breakfast. My grandfather and father
followed his example through force of
habit, and now have contracted it. If

The Best Remedy For Group.

(frOn Cne ACcnlsOn, hal., Daliy IlODeJ
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of
the children. The Group remedies are
almost as sure to be lost, in case of
Group, as revolver is sure to be lost
in case of BURGERS. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group,
known as hive-syrup and tolu, but
some modern mothers say that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better,
and does not cost SO much. 1t causes
the patient to ''throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and gives relief in shorter
time. Give this remedy as soon as a
croupy cough appears and it will pre-
vent the attack. 1t never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For sale

The Menu Card In Its First Form.

In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large OH cards Of
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end Of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid to selection must have
been an absolute necessity, for the
medieval dinner was a mine of sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses, as
are our own dainty meals, but whereas
nowadays the diner has a general idea
that fish will follow soup and that en-
tree is succeeded by relieve, and can
conceive generally the sort of demand
that each course will make upon his
appetite and digestion, there was no
possible arguing as to what was going
to happen at an early English dinner,
and close study fails to reveal the ex-
istence Of any principle Of arrange.
