pers and letters she possessed relating
to Senator Plat, alleging that she did
so under duress and was compelled
to sign a receipt for $4,000 in settle,
ment OF all her claims against the

A picture OF the senator was shown,
upon the back of which was written,
ITO my little wife," Miss Wood said

another man in October, 1903, and
that she had never seen it since. Her
counsel showed the witness type

A Long Dance.

- Long BGUCos
The longest dance on record Is prob
ably that Of William Kemp, an actor
Of some celebrity in the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth. He was a comedian and
lanced all the way from London to
Norwich.
He was attended by a taborer, a
ervant and an oyerseer, and it was
'oubtless a good thing for him that
here were no Omnibuses Or police then,
Or they would probably have imposed
nore impediments in the way Of his
progress than did the country people.
He started with several presents Of
groats and crooked sixpences for luck,
end, laden with these, he danced to
Stratford with out rest.
Subsequently he went in for early
rising to avoid market people, and,
though suffering from a sprain Of the
hip which he received. he danced it
well again, to the delight of the crowd
which accompanied him, some 200 in
number.
When he reached Norwich he had to
dance in and out of the city twice,
for his oveFseer missed him in the
crowd and made him do the distance
over again to avoid any possibility Of
error.-London Graphic.
