Facts About the American Indians

The American Indian. accustomed from

falling hair or badness.
The close atmosphere caused by ouA

breeding of infnitesimal germs which
dig into the scalp and thrive on the san

This true cause OF badness is Of recent
discovery and explains the non-success

UNKIssED AT AGE OF sEyENTy,


Unkissed at the age of seventy
years. Eli Richardson went to his
grave in Martin, Tenn, last week.
1t had been Richardson's boast
through life that he had never put
his lips to a woman's, although he
married for love and 'lived happily
ever afterward."
His disdain for OSCILLATION hung on
a pin. An incident at social held
in the South before the Civil War
led him to eschew the joys of wo-
mans lips for life. A game was
being played by the guests in which
the young women had to forfeit kiss
to her captor. Young Richardson s
timidity being known, a plot was
laid to get him to kiss girl. She
placed pin in her mouth, and when
Ellis bashful lips were to press hers
she was to prick his lips with the
pin.
The fateful moment came. Eli
demurred, but was prevailed upon to
yield to temptation. He started to
lmplant the kiss, but his eye caught
the CLEAN of the pin, and he refused.
From that day until his death, he
never kissed a woman.

Drink More Water.

Ii the span of human life is not
greatly increased in these passing
years it will not be from lack of
exact knowledge as to how it may
be done. Thus, we are told by an
old-time physician that the secret of
immortal youth lies in consuming
large quantities of distilled water
every day. He himself drinks about
a gallon day, or nearly thirty
barrels year, and is still hale and
hearty, though over so years of age.
While this recipe for longevity may
hardly be considered infallible, there
is undoubtedly much virtue in the
copious drinking of water, whether
distilled or not. The tendency is to
drink too little. to keep the bodily
functions in healthy state. More
water, more sleep, a careful diet and
less worry doubtless constitute about
as good a platform for attaining
health and long life as any that may
be put together.-Leslie's Magazine.

new contributors whose names stand for

The novelette,, "The Coming of the
King" by Frances Aymar Mathews, is a
most delicate mingling of light humor

the House of Bourbon should return to

France.
George Barr McCutcheon, whose
"Grsustark" swept him into prominence
on the wave of popular favor, has
written long short story for the January
Smart Set which will even more firmly
establish his reputation as writer OF
fiction. In "The Laurel Wreath" Gustav
Kobbe contributes story which will be
instant in its appeal, especially to those
who know the operate stage. "Claude
Fitz- Maurice, Bad Man." by William r.
Lightons is s. breezy tale of the West
whose humor and human nature win the
reader at the start. Other excellent
stories are contributed by eminent
writers. The essay. "Aloes and Am
brosia," by Edgar Saltus, and the French
story by Marcel Provost, are of quality
fully to merit their place with the
other contributors to this unusually ex-
ceilent number.

WANTS TO MARRY A NEGRO
White Girl Sues CoIored Man For
Breach Of Promise.

"Hite Uirl sues Col0red Man For
Breach OF Promise.
The novel spectacle of white
woman suing colored man for
breach of promise of marriage is
presented in Philadelphia in the
case OF Katherine McGroarty against
John W. Holland. jr. The latter al
80 reverses the usual order of things
by giving as his principal reason for
declining marriage; Difference in
race, religion aud social position"
The plaintiff, who is 25 years old,
declares that Holland on March 20
last promised to make her his wife
and fixed the time for the wedding
day as July 6. At that time Kath-
crime says she was ready and willing,
as she has been ever since, to become
Hollands wife, but that he disap-
pointed her and disregarded. his
promises. She accordingly wants
$4,000 damages.
Holland filed pleas of "not guilty"
and "non-assumpsit," accompanied
oy an explanatory affidavit. He
declares that the plaintiff showed
and expressed high regard and
liking for him, and made it plain
that she wanted him to marry her.
The subject of marriage was freely
discussed between them and Holland
says he endeavored to convince the
young woman that it was not advis-
able to form such union because of
their. difference in race. religion and
social position.
