A Girls Essay on Teeth.

This is a genuine essay, written by
a p~essimistic schoolgirl of nine:
"There are many kinds of teeth, they
belong to the human races, animals
birds, fish and some insects. Most
humans have false teeth-half the
world is false-hair, eyes, teeth, noses,
and many other things. About noses.
I know a lady who has twelve false
noses; she has let me play with
them. Fish have sharp teeth; some
peoples teeth look very nice, they
want care. Human races have molar,
eye and wisdom teeth. l am sorry /
do not know much about teeth, but |
missed school yesterday afternoon"

Charge Consisted Of shllIings, Wadded
With Bible Leaves.

With Bible Leaves.
Nicholas Vadderman, a retired farm
er of Angora, has come into posses
sion of what he believes is a relic Of
the days when superstition and belief
in witchcraft was general. This is an
old flintlock musket which contained
a charge evidently prepared for the ex-
ecution of a witch. Yedderman, who
devotes his time to the collection Of
curios, purchased the musket at an
auction sale held in an old farmhouse
recently. From its appearance the
weapon antedated the revolutionary
war, and when found was in a deplor-
able state of rust. In cleaning 1t We'd
dermar discovered that there was .
charge in the gun, al this he care
fully withdrew. To his surprise, no

shillings, dated 1881, tightly waddsd
with leaves from a Bible of ancient
print. Beneath the shilling was I
small lock of hair and a piece Of paper
containing an illegible quotation. The
gunpowder was coarse and undoubted.

man, who has made a study Of such
things. says 1t was by firing such
charmed charges that the supersti
tious believed they could scare Of

LIGHTNING FREAK
MIR. ED WEATHERINGTON AND
FAMILY HAVE CLOSE CALL.
ThunderbOlt Went Through the
Room and Darted Out the Door
Mrs. Weatherington Hurt.

Mr.. Ed Weatheripgton. who re-
SIDES on the Buckner road about two
miles beyond Wallace park, came to
the city today and reported an unus-
ual lightning freak. as a result of
which he and his family came near
being killed.
During the hard rain late Thurs
day afternoon, bolt of lightning
struck his house, tore a hole in the
roof, knocked off the chimney, and
passing into the room In which they
were sitting. blazed out the screen
door. tearing a huge hole and filling
the room with splinters.
Mrs. Weatherlngton, his wife, was
standing about five feet from the
door and one of the splinters struck
her on the left leg near the knee
twisting her clothing as il pene-
trated the flesh, and leaving a pain
full but not serious wound, which
fortunately Is not deep on account OF
the protection afforded by her skirt
Her right limb was left as II some
one had struck Il a powerful blow
with club, and was perfectly numb
for quite awhile.
Mr.. Weatherington's mother and
brother were also in the room, and
were shocked by the lightning, but
soon recovered with no worse eff
fleets than a severe headache.
The family regard their escape as
miraculous, as they not only saw the
lightning come down the chimney
'nd dart out the door, but saw as
well the evidences of Il in the de-
bris and charred splinters after 4
had made its exit. A Strange part OF
the phenomenon was that although
The lightning went out the door, the
spllnters nearly al few inwards.

NO SETTLEMENT
OF THE QUESTION OF Fedora
TION BY PRESBYTERIANS.
The Discussion Was Long Drawn Out
The Merger Seemed To BE
Preferable.

Fort Worth, Tex, May 27.-The
forty-Gfth general assembly of the
Southern Presbyterian church has
adjourned. Moderator Plunkett de-
clared the body dissolved and Mt the
same time called the next session to
meet at Greenville. S. c.. at IL a.
m. on the third Tuesday in May,
| 1906.
The discussion of the question of
the federation was long drawn out
and when the end came was as far
from final settlement as at any
time during the debate which pre-
coded the vote. There is an irrec-
oncilable element in the church
which manifested itself in great
strength which is opposed TO fedora
ton, and there is an element of
slightly greater strength that fav-
ors il, but neither side could muster
the necessary strength to bring the
victory to their banner. In the end
the whole matter was merely re-
ferred back TO the same committee to
Wnlcn were auueu lnlee hoIe hcin-
bers to bring another plan of feder-
alton before the next assembly.
The amendment offered by Dr.
Eugene Daniel regarding discontinue
ing the idea of federation at all was
and his substitute regarding the re-
port of the committee whereby the
general assembly would say to the
world that II was unable 10 accept the
plan of federation outlined by the
Joint conference committee at Pitts
burg. Pa. last January was also lost.
The original report of the special
committee appointed by the general
assembly to consider this matter was
finally adopted by the body.
The vote on the question was a
close one and was taken for the
fourth time before decision was
reached, the last time being taken by
calling the roll, when the vote stood
SO to 81 in favor of the report of the
committee
