Wife Insisted on Leaving Farm for
the City.

Arthur GLADDEN., 5S, a prosperous
farmer of Dimondale, Mich, is dead
of a broken heart. Owing to the am
bition of his wife to move to the city,
GLADDEN. had sold his farm for S.
600 and purchased a house in Ian
sing.
When the time came to give pos
session of the beautiful cottage and
broad acres which had been his home
so long, GLADDEN. wandered from field
to field, from stable to stable, taking
last looks at all of which he thought
so much. Climbing into the haymoW,
he covered himself in the fragrant
clover, the strings of his heart snap
ped and he died without a word or
cry.
When found his cheeks were still
wet with the tears which had coursed
steadily down his cheeks for the last
week. 1t was found that the day be-
fore his death Farmer GLADDEN. had
offered to buy back the farm for ST.
600 more than he had received, but
the offer was refused.

THE HEART THINKS.
Says The Brain Is Merely an Organ
For Heating.

That the brain is merely q. vital
organ for heating the body has been
asserted by D. Joseph Sims, the fam
Gus physician, who recently returned
to his home in New York after tour
around the world.
DR.. Sims says that years of obser-
vation and study have convinced him
that man does not think with his
brain, but with his heart; that the
brain is a vital organ maintained for
the purpose Of heating the body.
AS tending to strengthen his theory
he says he has found that great men,
as rule, have small brains and
large hearts, while those below nor
NAL and imbeciles have large brains
and small hearts.
AS bearing out his theory that the
brain heats the body he says that In
the frigid zones the people have large
brains, while in the torrid zones their
brains are small.

DIR. JEkYLL AND MR.. HYDE.
Doctor in the Day and Burglar at
Night

Having for more than a year led a
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde existence,
stealing by night and practicing as
an occulist by day, DR.. Benjamin
Holbrook, of West Brandywine town
ship, has confessed many small bur-
glaries and is now in Westchester
Jail.
AS the occulist is we'll connected
and seems to be truly penitent, and
as he has made a clean breast Of his
misdoings, the Pennsylvania railroad
detectives who succeeded in drawing
the mask from the man have decided
to ask for a light sentence. The doc
tor will appear before next quarter
sessions, admit his many faults and
his strange double life and throw
himself upon the mercy Of the court.
1t is said that Holbrook, while os-
tensibly living most respectable life
as struggling young practitioner,
is known to have committed at least
eight burglaries. It may be that he
has been guilty Of more ofenses
than this, but he says not, and has
convinced the arresting officers that
he tells the truth.
| Holbrook kept his own horse and
buggy in order to respond when call
ed in eye cases. At night he drove
long distances from home, tied his
rig in the woods and then went forth
as burglar. The particular thefts
that proved his undoing were al
Wyebrook, on the Downington anc
New Holland railroad, and at Buck
run, a small station on the Pomeroy
branch of the Pennsylvania.
In each Of these small places DR.
Holbrook broke into the railroad sta
ton in the dead of night, stealing
all the mileage and other railroad
tickets, the change out Of the cash
drawer and even such heavier article:
as typewriter and a copying press
DR.. Holbrook used one Of the stol
en- mileage tickets for two months
after it was missed by the railroad
1t was not taken up, but finally whe1
he tried to use second mileage tick

TILLMAN LIKES TAFT.
The Senator Says Bryan Gould Beat
Most Any Republican.

eff we must have another republi-
can president I am in favor OF Will
liam H. Taft" said Senator Benjamin
Ryan Tillman of South Carolina says
dispatch from Cincinnati Taft is
honest, capable, and is of large
enough mental calibre to administer
the job. I like him personally and
believe he would make an excellent
president for republican.
He has much stronger individu-
ality than has appeared SO far, and
should he occupy the chair he would
be sure enought president. My item
erary covers wide territory, and to
every place I 60 I find distinct,
sentiment favorable to his candidacy.
But William J. Bryan may be the
democratic nominee again, and the
fact that he is quite as honest, capa-
Bile and intellectual as Mr.. Taft
should not be lost sight of by the
country. Bryan will give any repub-
lican standard bearer fierce battle
and think he would beat several of
them; particularly if the republicans
named Fairbanks, / would look for
Bryan to go in with a sweep"

BUTCHERS ASSAULTED
BY Customers Because Price of Meat
Was Raised.

The Jewish quarter in Philadel.
phia was the scene of wild disorder
when women of the quarter made de-
monstrations against all of the Kosh-
er butchers as a protest against the
increase in the price Of beef.
Shops were invaded by angry wo-
men, prospective customers driven
out, windows broken and kerosene IN
number / instances poured over all
meat in sight.
A number Of arrests were made by
police. and reserves of three police
districts were kept busy dispensing

THE MOB WAS FURIOUS.
Sougth to Avenge Many Murders in
New York.

Following the repeated murders,
assassinations and fiendish attacks on
girls and children in New York mot
was crazy Friday night when a man
slashed the face of John Blackman, a
motorman, who was repairing car.
The crowd pursued slasher, who,
terrified at the cries of lynch him, >
Jumped off a pier of East river and
was drowned. Only the arrival OF
the police reserves prevented the
crowd from storming the jail on Sta
ten Island for the purpose OF Wreak-
ing Vengeance on Joseph Nopwyak,
ifty-four years old, charged With
assaulting a fve-year-old girl.

months at a time her husband would
not speak to her, scarcely stacks up
with the case of the poor husband
who, on the bridal trip from New
York watched his bride fall in love
with German fellow passenger.
"She sat on the mat seat with the
German, entwined in his arms and
kissing him. says the divorce peti-
ton. 'tThe plaintiff demonstrated,
but to no effect, the conduct Of the
wife causing the husband untold men
tai suffering
In another case a brutal husband
came home one night, and, with a
big knife in mis- hand, forced the wife
to sit up in bed until dawn, threat
ening to cut her heart out if she
moved from the position. But on the
other hand. an angered wife threw a
pot of scalding tea in hubby's face
binding him in one eye for life.
One husband, who chronically fail
ed to work on the six days recon-
mended by the Ten Commandments,
would put on his old clothes early
Sunday mornings, and work like a
beaver till the COWS came home. But
that other case Of the wife who re-
fused to cook for her husband, not
only for six days, but on Sunday, too,
seems to have been a greater provoc-
ton.
NOT ALLOWED TO RUN TO FIRE.
There is the story of the husband
who refused to let the children go to
church, at the same time the case is
on record where the wife absolutely
refused to let her husband get up at
night and run to a lovely fire down
the street. If he went she insisted
on staying awake the rest Of the
night quarreling about the little out
ing and rendering him unfit for work
the next day. This wife, too, never
had sown button on for him, and
he brought a witness to prove that
often the witness had seen the plain
tiff going around with only one but
ton on his waistcoat.
1t looked bad for a husband to
pinch his wife's nose until it becomes
so chronically red that neither face
bleach nor powder will serve to hide
her modification. But in one con-
trasting case a wife pulled her hub
by out of bed by his whiskers, while
in another case the poor husband pro-
duced as exhibit B. in proof Of his
allegations a large tuft Of hair which
the wife had abstructed from his
cranial roof.
There is the story Of the husband
who one night threw boot at his
better half, missing her by half a
hard. But surely Of greater signIt-
canoe are those other cases in which
the l90-pound wife struck the poor
man with a stove lid. breaking rib
and later knocking him down with a
chair; where ''in the last year the
plaintiff with pokers, iatirons, and
other hard substances, even that
case IN which the wife struck her
otherwise life partner with wire
bust form.

HUGE SNAKE AT LARGE.
This Incredible Story Comes From
Valley, Nebraska.

\ dispatch from Valley, Neb., says
a monster snake, forty feet long, and
with a head like bushel basket, is
causing terror to the farmers east Of
this town, where it has been seen
several tines, and where it picked up
Joseph Anderson, farmer, and
threw him twenty feet, breaking two
of Anderson S ribs in doing so.
The farmers have organized a
grand snake hunt for next week, and
every man for miles around will take
part in it.
For twenty-five years reports have
been circulated about a big snake
which made it's headquarters near
Ages Lake, and which occasionally
swallowed a pig or a calf. Twice this
year the snake has been seen.

Greece in the old days Of high art,
when they froliced in babbling foun-
tains, sounding fute-like a fagelot

concerned, they are doomed. The
authorities there have given orders
that the custom some men and wo-
men had Of bathing there without
even the scant bathing suits must be
broken up.

A Letter on Its Way Nearly Thirty.
Two Years.

A prosperous Norwegian citizen OF
Stanley, Wis, has just received a ler-
ter which was on it's way to him for
80 years. The letter was mailed

SHERIFF COMMITS SUICIDE.
Driven to Act BY Memory of Man He
Recently Hanged.

Because the hanging of negro IN
the line of his official duty preyed on
his nerves, Sheriff Joseph B. Bennett,
of Starke, county, Fla, blew out his
brains. The deed was committed at
his home in the presence Of his wife.
About two weeks ago the sheriff
adjusted the moose and sprung the
death trap for negro who had been
convicted of murder. Although a
brave man Sheriff Bennett could
never bear the sight of suffering and
he could not rid himself of the mem
ory OF the man dangling at the rope S
end. He became unable 70 go to sleep
and told friends he would never again
have peace of mind.
After a sleepless night, he arose.
secured his pistol, and shot himself
through the head while his wife was
still in bed. Mrs. Bennett awoke
Just as her husbands body fell across
the bed.

one-third as much liquor as Colum-

Column.

Mr.. w. B. West, dispensary audi
tor. has, after much tedious work,
compiled a table showing the gro,s
sales, net profits, breakage and net,
gain of the SO county dispensaries.
The table is an interesting one and
for purposes of comparison shows
exactly how each dispensary IS run.
We publish below as we hno II IN
The State:
For instance there is only one dis
pensary in Abbeville county and the
profits therefrom amounted to over
$4,000, while 1G dispensarles IN
Barnwell County brought not quite
$4,000. The II dispensaries IN Rlcn-'
land county brought in over S3S,0Do,
and II dispensaries in Charleston
made $1,000. Sumter shows the
largest percentage Of gain In pronts
and Florence next with Aiken third.
The statement has been compaied
from figures submitted and sworn to

boards, or their authorized CLERKS
However, it might be well to state IN
regard to the breakage account that
the comparisons: made are not ao-
solutely just insomuch as some
boards have returned railroad short
age as breakage, thus swelling the
=! breakage account.
This explains the blank for Lex
ington county. In many instances
claims were filed for the shortage
and have been paid which would
very materially lessen this account.
However, the account is in the main
correct.
The profit made by some OF the
counties is somewhat larger than has
been reported insomuch as they have
charged fixtures, bottling outfits, ETC.,
to the expense account, which we're
not taken in as assets in making up
statement.

PYTHON LOOSE IN SHIP.
Suspected of Having Swallowed Ape,
Chickens and Chinese Boy.

Chickens ana ChlneSe BOY.
A New York dispatch says the
British steamship Montrose, ground
ed off the Battery on Monday, has a
python loose in her hold, and the
longshoremen unloading her have
been warned to look out. The python,
according to rumor in South street,
is anywhere in length from twenty
two to forty-four feet. 1t recently
took aboard a flock of chickens.
A young orang-outang and a Chi
nest boy, originally on the manifest
of the ship, are missing, and it is
said that the eight-eight foot python
may have surrounded them. Early
morning gossip in South street hint
ed that the 174footer had been dis
covered cooled along the cardboard
strake, making an effort to digest the
boy and orang.
Still later there were doubts
whether the python was in the ship
or the ship in the python.
