Love, Cash and Strategy.

: Two young men of this neigh
borbhood were rivals for the hand
of pretty girl. One of them
was poor and handsome the other
was a slow witted fellow with
considerable money. The CAPT
talistic once conceived the idea
of buying off his rival. He Of
fered him 800 to go away and
stay for six months. The poor
boy said he would consider the
matter, and he did-in company
with the girl. They agreed to
take the money of the young man
get married and go away together.
The deal was completed and the
poor young man got his money
and started for Denver. But he
stopped at the first station where
he was joined by his lady love
and they were married by the
Justice of the Peace.
The rich young man consulted
a lawyer and was told that he
had no grounds for suit; that
the young man had kept his
agreement by going away ;
that it wasn't stipulated that
he should go alone, and the
local paper says the town is
laughing at the thought of that
honeymoon trip at the expence
of a riyal.-McCracken, Kan,

Some Stiff Storm Stories.

The house of James Bryant,
near Harrisonville, was picked
up few days ago by a tornado,
carried over a barbed-wire fence
and set down in a pasture about
70 yards distant. Mr.. Bryant
and his family were in the house
but none of them were hurt.
The tornado was followed by a
terrific hailstoam. A man who
was driving along the road saw
it coming and got out Of his
buggy and crawled under a
hedge fence, where he wrapped
his arms around a post. The
wind did not get him, but the
hail, which came after it, beat
him insensible. He was found
some time later and carried to a
nearby house, where it was
discovered that the hailstones
had made him a mass Of bruises
from head to foot. In some
places the hail was found bank
ed up 20 a depth Of four feet
along the roadside.-Ex.

Emmett himself always main

script of the song was stolen
from him while he was travelling
professionally in the south be-
fore the war began. Consider
ing how such things were cared

that he lost it by accident. No
one who heard it a few times
needed more than memory to
know it for ''good."

nection with neutrality-suspicious.

Damage-suit Industry.

From time to time the Manu-
facturer's Record as commented
upon the ills wrought upon the
State by the damage-suit indus
try, of which the railroads have
been the unwilling capitalists;
Attacking the industry upon
principle, it has cited instances
of railroads postponing improve
ments and extensions because of
the menace in the industry.
The extents of the ills is illus
trated by figures which the Aus
tin Statesman has derived from
the records of the Texas rail-
road commission. These show
that the amount of money paid
by Texas railroads on account of
real and alleged personal in
juries has increased from 1928
749 in 1901 to 81, $40, sol in 1903.
The Statesman points out the
well-known fact that the railway
mileage of the State has increas-
ed in the meantime and the SER
vice has been better, but it
correctly argues that $4,000, 900
a year would build many miles
of new line and would so far
toward betterment, and that the
menace of the damage-suit in
dustry has undoubtedly checked
the inclination of railway man
agements to give the State great
er faculties.
That argument ought to be a
corrective of the practice, which
injuries not only Texas, but other
States. 1t should lead to the
cultivation of a public sentiment
that will suppress the cause of
the industry, the shyster lawyer.

Brunette People.

81 happened across a pamph-
let several months ago publish
ed by Southern State, in which
were some interesting statistics
regarding the complexion of the
inmates of the State Insane Asy-
lum," Hobart Langdon said.
"Only 3 per cent. of the total
had light hair and only , per
cent. blue eyes.
at strnck me as a rather Gu
rious fact that dark haired and
dark-eyed people should pre-
dominate among the insane, but
as the matter of latitude might
play some part in this, | thought
naturally there were more dark
than light haired persons in that
section.
Just as a matter of curiosity,
however, | thought l would
write to asylum authorities in
other parts of the country to see
what the ratio of light haired
inmates was to those who were
dark. | expected to find the
percentage increase col commu-
mites where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this |
was mistaken, SO | am led to in
fer from the statistics that there
is a greater possibility for insan-
ity among dark haired than
among light-haired persons.
my figures were obtained
from 6S asylums, located in
nearly every state in the Union:

Nails Record Sickness.


Zone who makes a close stu
dy Of finger nails will find many
curious things about them to ex-
cite his wonder and interest"
says Mr.. F. De Donate, who is
an expert on such matters, "but
none more SO than the stories Of
physical condition told in their
growth. You know the nail of
person In good health grows at
the rate of about one-sixteenth
of an inch each week-slightly
more than many authorities be-
lieye-but during illness or after
an accident or during times OF
mental depression this growth is
not only affected and retarded so
far as length is concerned, but
also as regards its thickness.
The very slightest illness will
thus leave an indelible mark on
the nails which may be readily
detected as the nail grows out.
If one has sudden attack, such
as acute rheumatism, which
sends the temperature bounding
upward to 104 or 105 within the
space of two or three hours, it
will be found on the nails, indi-
eating the difference in thick
ness of growth between the time
when health was enjoyed and
the thin growth of the Ill period.
If the illness is one that comes
on gradually, like typhoid fever
for example, instead of a ridge
gentle incline will appear on the
nails. Should one have an arm
broken the thick ridge can be
seen only on the fingers of the
one hand, but in all cases of gem
era1 sickness the ridge or slope
appears on the fingers of both
hands. When one has passed
through d period of extreme ex-
element or mental depression,
the fact will be imprinted on the
nails either with an abrupt ridge
or a gentle slope, according to
the acuteness of the mental in
fiuence. In no instance can the
marks of illness, accident or
mental condition be clearly seen
on the nail until after the growth
has carried the line beyond the
white or half-moon portion of it,
| but week or two subsequent to
any Of these things the ridge or
slope may be found on the nails,
usually readily visible to the
eyes, but if not, the mark may
be found by running the tip of
the finger down any of the nails
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-09-01

The number of patients in these
institutions wat 1852, of which
703 had light hair and only .66
red or auburn locks. In other
words, 96 per cent. Of the in
mates were brunetts, with black
or brown hair, the latter in vary
ing shades. In one asylum in
New England there was not a
single inmate that was not a
brunette.
"Of course, | do not know how
to account for this, for lam not

of pure curiosity, but it certainly
looks is blondes were less liable
to insanity than those with dark
er hair or eyes.
Another peculiar feature |
obtained, however, was that the
percentage of those regarded as
incurable insane was much
greater amongst the blondes.
The totals show that among the
dark haired inmates only SO per

Medical use of Whiskey.

Whiskey as an alternative to
wine may undoubtly be employed
incidentally with advantage in
certain cases, both for men and
women. But that is different
from the constant recommend
alton which is suggested, as if,
indeed, doctors regard whiskey
as a sort Of panacea for every
disease under the sun and take a
perfect delight in urging it's con-
sumption on their patients. As
a matter of fact their was time
when medical men were more
slow to prescribe the use Of al
cohol in any form than they are
in the present day, nor a time
when so many refralned from adj
vising its use at alf.--Ex.

Bishop Potter Dsdicates Saloon.

Students of sociology through
out the country are taking deep
interest in the Subway Tavern
in the City of New York.
On the occasion of it's opening
several days ago, Bishop Henry
G. Potter, Of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, delivered a prayer
standing upon a case of beer. AT
the conclusion of the prayer the
doxology was sung by those pres
ent.
Bishop Potter then delivered
an address, in which he praised
the new saloon, declaring that
represented more progress toward
temperance than all the efforts of
temperance leaders for fifty years.
TO REFORM DRINKERS
The Subway Tavern has been
financed by certain members of
the City Club, who believe that,
the saloon will work reform
among drinkers. Any man or
woman can buy anything from a
glass of soda water to a rye high
ball in the place, so long as he or
she does not "treat."
To a crowd of members of the
club and few stray wanders from
the Bowery, who happened in,
Bishop Potter made his speech.
PLACE FOR THE POOR
eve have the great multitude
of people whose daily life is one
toll to consider" said the Bishop.
"When the days work is done
what is to become of them? |
belong to the Century, the Metro
polian and half dozen other
clubs, and | can 90 to one or all
of them for my enterment and
pleasure.
"But what is to become of my
friend who lives in two rooms
with his wife and five children?
It's all very we'll to 60 to your
club for lunch when the days
work is finished, but where is the
man going who does not belong
to these clubs? Inevitable ne
cessity drives him to the saloon.
"Gentleman, | hold the effort
to shut up the saloon as the most
! tragic and at the same time the
most comic failure in modern his
tory.
"The temperance question is
as far from solution today as it
was so years ago.
81 may add that the efforts to
settle it in a high-handed way
have led to an untold amount of
hypocrisy. Gentlemen, this
movement of ours today must be
taken into account by all if they
wish to save the republic. We
must make the home of the work
ingman cleaner and brighter, and
we must see that he gets his re-
creation"
