having been found since last July.
The young man left Port Gibson
for Pine Bluff, Ark, to work in
the railroad machine shops. For
several weeks he wrote home regu-
larly. Finally the letters ceased to
come, and after a silence of two or
three weeks, his parents began to
get uneasy and wrote TO the author
tiles at Pine Bluff. The only in
formation they could get was that
young man of that place stated
that he and Croniu had gone to
Memphis. The latter entered a
hospital there and he lost sight of
him. Friends in Memphis enquired
at every hospital and iufrmary III
Memphis. but found that no such
person had ever been an inmate of
any of them.
The parents are deeply grieved.
They fear that their son has been
foully dealt with, as ne is supposed
to have had a gold watch and fifty
or more dollars.
Will Cronin is small and rather
squarely built, dark complexion
and dark hair.
LATER. Since the above was
put in type, news comes that the
young man was found working on
dredge boat on the Mississippi
river.

Another Disappearance.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. I6.-In-
formation reaches here from Ray
mond,s fifteen miles south of this
city, to the effect that Ernest l..
Williams, a member of prominent
family in that section of the county,
left home on Sept. 2oth, was last
heard from at Tallulah, La.
through a letter dated Oct. 3rd,
and his family is growing very I'M
easy about him, in view of the nh
merous mysterious disappearances
that have occurred lately.
Williams left a wife and two
small children. one of which has
died since his disappearance, and
all efforts to reach the father with
the news proved futile.
The missing man has been of q
rowing disposition, having left
home when quite young and trav-
eled over a good portion of the
world, crossing the ocean several
times, and spending several months
In South Africa, where some of his
relatives fear he may have returned

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping Is Common.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have cen horses weep from thirst. a
mule has been see to cry from the
pain of All injured foot and camels,
IL is said, shed tears in streams, says
a writer in Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from vexa-
ton II Livingston didn't nurse 1t in
his arms when IL asked him to.
Wounded apes have ditI crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water jugs broke one and fell
a-crying. which proved sorrow, though
II wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rifle had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trucking down the face of a dy-
ing elephant. And even an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that It took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

the munificent sum of one dollar in

He is to-day president of rs banks. all

pretty well cornered her banking in
