From history we learn that the boys
in the time of George III. coasted on
sleds made of small board with beef
bones as runners, but these dropped
out of sight when an inventive genius
built one out of barrel staye, for his
invention was extensively copied.
The barrel slaves were called Jump
ers' and @skippers," and were made
of single barrel stave of moderate
width to which was nailed 12-inch
seat-post about midships. A piece Of
bari,el head constituted the seat. To
navigate this craft required no little
skin, the revolutions and convolutions
performed by the rider while "gettin'
the hang of the derned cA thing" be-
ing akin to the antics of tendefoot
on bucking broncho. A more stable
and docile jumper was made by 1as-
tening two or three slaves side by side,
but these were not considered as fast
travellers as the single staves.--Out-

OLD MEN AND YOUNG WIVES.


For. the Wellesley graduate, aged 22,
who has married the octogenai ian
marquis of Donegal there is the ex-
cuse, admittedly valid by even cap
tious members of her sex, that she has
married title. For the elderly bride
groom, apart from sentimental con-
siderations, there is the incentive of
longevity; the statistics prove that old
men live longer if married than if sim
gle, states the New York World.
DR.. Zilz's figures for Europe indicat-
ed that among men past 70 the death
rate is As per 1000 for the married. as
against II for the single. DR.. Schwa rts::.

rians examined by him, not one was
bachelor or spinster showed that OF
men who live to be 90 the ratio is nire
married to three single. Among indi-
. vidual examples of matrimonial lon
gevity that of James Nicholas Lam, of
Goshen, N. ", may be cited The doc
r-preacher-author married 13 wives
and lived to he 9s. To what extent did
each of his helpmates contribute to his
length Of years? Presumably an afnia-
BILE wife would add year where a
Xantippe might cut one off.
Itis normal act for a man to marry
woman younger than himself Sta
tistics collected in Germany show that
Of 1000 bridegrooms only 50 chose
women older than themselves. A diff
ference Of 60 years IS Of course wholly
abnormal. in New York city in one
year the number of couples married in
whose ages tb ere was disparity Of 20
years or more was Sis; but among
these there we're very Few among
whom the difference exceeded 40

Doubtless the controlling impulse
with women who marry men greatly

Doctors Failed.
DIR. Miles Neryine Cured
Him.

Weak, nervous, fretful, puny children re.
quire treatment such as only DR.. Miles
Nervine affords. When neglected these
symptoms lead to epileptic fits or spasms.
Every mother should strengthen her own and
babies nerves with DR.. Miles Nervine, a true
specific in all nervous disorders. Read the
following:
"When my little boy was I8 months old
be had cramps in his feet and hands. They
would be drawn out of shape for two or three
days. At first llniment seemed to help but
in about two weeks nothing did any good
the doctor gave him. We called another
doctor but his medicine did no good so we
changed to another who called it spinal dis
ease. BY this time the child's body was
drawn out of shape; his backbone was curved
to one side and his hands and feet out of
shape. His sufferings were terrible, and he
was having from two to six fits day. Twas
taking DR.. Miles Restorative Nervine for
nervous trouble and saw it was recommended
for fits, so | thought would see if it would
help him. All three doctors had given him
up. One-half bottle stopped the fits and his
limbs straightened, and another bottle cured
him. He is now strong, healthy boy going
to school, l have waited to see if the old
trouble returned, before writing you, but it

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.
Deaf Mother Was Ignorant of chiid's
Screams for Help.


Special to Times Republican
Reinbeck. Nov. 8. - The 2-year- old
son of Herman Willer was burned SO
severely Friday afternoon that it died
Saturday. The little fellow appears TO
have ignited his clothing in some man
ner and the mother, who is partially
deaf. failed to hear his screams from
a room adjoining, where she was a,
work. 1t was about o'clock when the
mothers attention was attracted by the
smell of burning cloth ard Fastening 10
Investigate she found the boys CLOTH
ing all burned off and his flesh CULVER
ing under the shock that the flames
had given. There was only part OF
the boys body that was not charred
by the flames and that was a small
place on one arm.
How the little fellow ignited his
clothing is shrouded in mystery. The
mother did not notice him near the
stove in the kitchen and it would seem
that he was too young to get hold OF
matches and strike them.
The accident occurred about 8 O'Clock
ir the afternoon. but the little sufferer
fingered until IL o'clock last Saturday
night, when death came to relieve HIM.
The grief-stricken parents, especiai-
ly the mother who was kept from rem
dering aid to her offspring by not hear
ing his cries, have the sympathy of all
their wide circle of friends.
