CHAMPION LAZY MAN
LAYS ABED 80 YEARS
ONLY GETS UP WHEN MOTHER
is TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND
THERE is NO ONE TO
WAIT ON HIM.

Belfast.-A man named Thompson,
who went to bed in 1877 and did not
leave it until fortnight ago, is be-
lieved to have established a worlds
record
Thompson, who lives with his moth
er at Glare, Lurgan, was a boy of II
when he went to bed. He was looked
after by his mother, and his pres
ence in the house was hardly known
to the villagers. In all probability he
would have remained in bed for the
rest of his life had not crisis oc-
Cured in his domestic affairs fort
night ago.
Mrs. Thompson was then taken i'll
and had to be taken to the infirmary.
Left helplessly alone, Thompson was
compelled to get up. A search was
commenced for the suit which he dis
carded 80 years ago, but he was IN
able to dress without assistance.
Two neighbors were called in, and
the work of squeezing him into the
suit occupied the three men whole
evening. When dressed he was too
tired to walk, and an ambulance had
to be brought to convey him to the
union.
He reposed there until his mother
was we'll enough to leave the inf1rm-
airy; then he followed her home. He
was compelled to walk this time, as
the guardians refused an ambulance.
The facts of the case came out
when the relieving officer applied to
the guardians for relief for Mrs.
Thompson, who has only occasional
help from some more energetic sons
who have emigrated to Australia. She
was allowed IS pence a week The re-
cital of the story convulsed the guard
ians.

pear every season in the too great
striving for novel millinery-there are
many charming hats being imported
and also created on this side of the
water. -. r. x:
The earlier hats of any season are
usually modes of the moment only.
Many. are; bought by women whose
winter millinery has either lost its
freshness or has become an cid story
to them, and they purchase several
hats merely to vary or freshen their
ensemble, and as they buy them for
few weeks wear only, they take
whatever is offered, without, as arule
sufficient attention to the style or its
becomingness. :
The Partisan with her marvelously
dressed hair may venture on many
hat that, perched above the toe
often careless coiffures of other WON
en-, would prove fatal to the slightest
degree of chic. The French woman
shows no tag ends of hair. Brilliant
inc and hair nets may be used, bu'
the effect is perfect. In Paris, fOrtu
nately, the even Marcel wave is out
and all waving is done in the loose
large, irregular fashion so much more
natural and SO much more pleasing tt
the eye that has not lost it's apprecia
ton of the really beautiful. OF course
comparatively few women look a:
well with their hair brushed smooth
and plain, and those few should make
the most of it.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1907-03-27

There is a distinct satisfaction in
knowing that the millinery for the
coming season is of such infinite va
riety of style and shape that while
following the latest fashions faith
fully, everyone can be we'll suited.
This happy state of affairs prevailed
last year, and was so much appre-
ciated that the powers that be in the
domain of fashion have evidently de.
termined on the same popular policy
once more-certainly a marked
amount of favor is allotted to the mush-
room brim, but then it's softly curved
shade is becoming to most faces, and
for the rest there are hats of almost
startling contrasted size and shape
Wonderful indeed are some Of the
new hats designed in Paris for spring
wear, and great will be the courage of
the wearers of some of them. No
design seems too grotesque for orig
inators of millinery to spring on a
gullible feminine public. Luckily the
majority of women realize the effect
OF too extraordinary chapeaus and re-
fuse to lend their services to the pro-
motors of the truly ridiculous. OF
course there are few women so beau.
tiful in form and feature and possess
ed of such grace and chic that no hat
could possibly spoil them, but there
are not so many of these, and then, too,
these women know very we'll, as a
rule, what they may and may not
wear to set off their abundant beauty

STRANGE BUT TRUE STORY.
Husband Suddenly Loses Memory ana
Wanders Far from Home.

Denver.-Six months ago a steady
and methodical clerk in the South
ern Pacific Offices here telephoned at
noon to his wife that he was just
about to take the street car for home
From that moment Nahum Wing dis
appeared as completely as if the
ground had swallowed him up He
left happy household, young wife
and child, his accounts were correct.
he did not gamble, drink or in any
manner dissipate
There was much excitement over
the case and the finally accepted the
DRY was that he had wandered, while
tains and had persisted. The state
took up the hunt and the mounted
men of the national guard were called
out to search the vicinity of the city.
Attempts to discover his whereabouts
were in vain. His wife sold their
home and went to her parents in Bos-
ton.
A day or two ago a clerk in New
Orleans railroad Office demanded of
his fellow workmen that they tell him
where Columbine street (the place Of
! Wings residence in Denver) was To-
| Gated. For long time he could not
! be persuaded that he was in New Or
leans. Gradually he realized that he
| was Nahum Wing, but insisted that
| all that had happened since he start
| ed to take car for home to lunch
con was a blank.
His companions could only tell him
f.! that he came in6 the Offices a few
weeks before and was given a place.
He had done his work we'll, but had
been strangely silent as to himself.
He telegraphed to Denver and receiv-
ing no answer wired Boston His wife
sent back an overjoyed welcome and
he is now on his way to join her. It
has developed that once before he
suffered two days from temporary
alteration of mind.
How curious are the vagaries of the
human mind, that the cord of mem
ory should suddenly snap-only to be
restored with the same abruptness.
This mans story sounds incredible.
but there have been any number Of
authentic cases equally strange.

a miniature road paved with rice and
outlined by clusters of pink roses,
the stems supporting them tied with
pink ribbons. At the end of the road

of human life:
A lady in Evanston was approached

The lady demurred, says the Chi

black on a gray ground; and the
stripes are sufficient trimming to the
plain skirt, except in front, where
there are two panels, cut so that the
stripes are horizontal, running from
waist to hem, narrow at the waist
and wide at the feet, and held here
and there by groups of three fiat sill
yer buttons. The charming little
coat is tight-fitting, with short
basques, which start at either side
from the pointed fronts, cut horizon
tally, which continue the panels of
the skirt, and are similarly adorned
with groups of three buttons. Tiny
white satin revers break the line, and
accentuate the contrast of color with
the "royal blue" velvet - waistcoat,
which is delicately braided with sill
yer cord at the edge. The coat-shaped
sleeves have band of the horizontal
stripes running from shoulder to waist
