BALDWIN, L. l., June 16.-That a
wild man turks in the woods hard by
this village there can now be no pos
sihle doubt. Constable Stephen Petit
led posse into the haunts of the crea-
turc. but was able 70 find only few
deserted nests in the trees where the
unwelcome visitor had lodged. Resi-
dents are in a state bordering on ter
ror. They bar and bolt their doors at
night and two or three of the inhabi-
tants have set spring guns on their
front porches-
Because the creature has been seen
perched like a wild turkey the story
has gained circulation that he has

was on the overhangins bank of the
stream.
Laughs to Scorn Automobile
Miss Conway, who lives in Oak View

this village, declares that last Monday
afternoon she saw a tall man emerge
from the woods His clothing, which
was torn and threadbare. was black
His hair was intensely black. and he
also wore a Dlack muStache- His eyes
had a wild and restless expression and
she noted also that his feet which were
inCdSed in patent leather shoes, seemed
small and that he apparently had little
or no toes. The wild man looked about
him in every direction. and catching
sight OF an automobile. gave vent to
ribald laughter and receded into the un-

THE IRISH
Something About the Old Building

the Dundee Adyertiser.

From the Dundee Advertiser.
The old Irish parliament house, which,
according to rumor, may be occupied by a,
national council under a devolutionI
scheme ere long, is one OF the architectural
glories Of Dublin. In its exterior aspects
1t remains the same as 1t was when in the
possession of the lords and OF
Ireland, but internally It has been knocked
about TO meet the requirements of thel
Bank of Ireland. into whose hands I'll
passed after the act OF union. The legis-l
lative hall OF the commons, which once re-
sounded with the ~eloquence OF Grattan,
Curran, Plunket and Flood, has been prac-
tically destroyed, and the present publicl
banking chamber occupies part of Its site.
But the house of lords remains intact. just
as It was at the time OF, the union. and is,
the most interesting and attractive part
Of the building to visitors. Curran, who
was q determined opponent of the union.
was one day passing the old parliament
house in tho company OF a member who
had voted FOR 1t. That member displayed
signs Of irritation and expressed a wish to
sec the building removed. II am not sur

Of Lord Castlereagh TO. move the third
reading of the union bill, and he dis
charged the duty with the utmost appar-I
ent equanimity. Other members were not
so composed. and to conceal their emot.on|
hurriedly left the room. The speaker, who!
hated the measure. rose TO put the fateful,
question. He held up the bill for a mo-

a spectators account of the scene, stead
lily around on the last agony of the ex-
piring parliament. HE at legnth repeat

OF the opinion that his bill do pass say
aye; the contrary say no. The afirma-
tive was languid. brt indisputable. An
other m~omentary pause ensued. Again
his lips seemed to decline their office. AT
length, with an eye averted from the OBJ

from these endorsements, copied from

that the ingredients composing the "Gold-

fdiseaSes, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarSeness, sore throat, lingering, or

affections which, If not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
In consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis

WHITE GIRL MARRIES

She Is Second Caucasian to

Man.
NO. DIED LAST SAPiN6
Pretty Miss Mary Rice Met and ADJ
mired "FIiday' as She Gafloped
Over Hills and Dales on
Trusty Pony.

Custer, s. D., Dec. 22.-"Fhday," the
Chinese cattle king, is enjoying his
second honeymoon with a white wife.
The ceremony was performed by Judge
'Feay OF this city, and Friday and his
wife, formerly Miss May Rice, have
just left on their wedding tour.
The bride came to the Hills about
three years ago from Kansas and has
been living with her sister, Mrs. II. D.
Polk, on q ranch adjoining that OF the
Chinese cattleman. Miss Rice was an
attractive girl and a remarkably fne
lhorsewoman. 1t was during her many
rides through the country that she met
!Fliday, who was always securing the
hills and valleys on the lookout for
his cattle. They rode together often
and a great friendship sprung up be-
tween them.
Last spring Fliday's first wife died
after a long n painful illness, and as
Miss Rice watched the unceasing at
tention and the gentleness which the
Chinaman showed his sick wife, she
became still more interested in the
Americanized celestial. He was a model
husband.
Fliday has, in fact, an almost Yam
kee-like ability for driving a bargain,
and the latest victim of his clever
money making propensity was Alfred
DupOnl the Hllliolldile pONuSi Hidh
of Wilmington, Del, who recently got
a divorce at Sioux Falls, Mr.. Dupont
was here last summer with a party OF
friends and wished to drive TO Sylvan
lake. He was unable, however, to lind
a team.
Made Two Profits.
Then Fliday came into the game. He
bought a team of horses outright and
within fifteen minutes sold them at an
advance Of $50 and|pronfisedsto deliver
them the next day. In the morning he
took the horses and drove Dupont out
to the lake and received a large sum
in addition to the $50 which he. made
on the deal.
He is an old timer and is VOL known
throughout the country. Among cat
tie dealers he is recognized as being a
Zine judge of stock and a shrewd buy
er. The cattle company of which he is
manager is the, only organization Of
the kind in the country. A cheerful
looking little Chinaman who runs q
joss house in Deadwood, and who has
lust gone back to China TO visit his
f'father and mamma" is treasurer and
secretary, and during his absence his
duties will be performed by thee Chinese
boy who runs the lunch counter in the
Green Front, the most notorious dance
hall in the Black Hills.
Fliday is very proud of his new wife,
but says feelingly: MY first wife, she
was awful good woman. She was aw-
full good TO me. / hope this one viii
be as good" uu

A Grea, Outside Remedy.

Most pains are of local origin-a
"crick" in the back, a twinge OF rheuma-

cold-are all cured by outside applica-
lions. The quickest, safest and most GER
tain method is Allcock's Plaster, known
the world over as a universal remedy for

they are clean and cheap. You can go

has given them a great reputation.
