A minister's wife, . DOCTORS and Z
travelling mans wife met one day re-
Gently and were talking about the for
getfulness OF their husbands. The
minister's wife thought her husband
was the most iorgetful man living be-.
cause he would 60 to church and for.
get his notes aud no one could make
out what he was trying to preach
about. The doctors wife thought her
husband had : poorer memory still,
fer he would often Start out to see 4
patient and forget his medicine case,
and ,ravel nine to ten miles for moth.

According to q Gieowood paper,
the village OF Cyrus is threatened By
one j. Nd. Fitzgibbous with a $25, 000
damage suit for uni awful arrest. Mr.
Fitzgibbons Is at present sp ending hie

Jail by virtue Of hav ng used vile snC
abusive language to provoke an AZ.
sault. He claims, however, that tn.
papers by authority Of which he was
arrested, were faulty and it is for this
reason that he asks the above sum.
1t is very doubtful whether he will
have time to attend to his suit, how.
ever, for since his arrest it has de
veloped that he is wanted at Clinton
for burglary, so when his Glenwooo
Jail term Is DER it Is probable thai
he will have few more papers, more
carefully prepared, served on him.

about IS years of age. It is said tina
before coming here he figured in ,
love stfair with disastrous results
His sweetheart was to join him later
but when he had left his native LAM
she gave her hand and heart t,
another, and it was this, perhaps
which prompted him to adopt tn,
gloomy and desolate life of a hermit
