James Hatfield, Jr., better known vs
Devil Anse," was reco.nizeJ
throughout the mountains of West
Virginia and Kentucky as one of the
quickest and surest shots In the Hat
field faction, when he left West Vir-
ginia for the plains of Minnesota.
Devil Anse'' is highly respected in
the community in which he lives.
Few in that section know of his past
life or of the exploits of himself and
his kinsmen in their family war
fare.
He is on a visit to his father,
cap" Hatfield, leader of the Hat
field, leader of the Hatfield clan, who
is 80 years of age and very feeble.
After spending some time at his old
home 1t is the purpose of Devil
Anse" to return to the wheatfelds.
West Virginia is no longer Ike
home to me-" he says, many liv6S
we're lost during the war between
the two families. The Hatfield-Mo-
Coy fued, known throughout tbs
world for the ferocity with which Il
was waged, started in Floyd County
nearly forty years ago and extended
over a dozen counties in the two
States. Twenty years ago I grew
tired OF the eternal strife and blood
shed and went West"
John Mccoy was the head Of the

fifteen children. Only one survives.

eleven we're killed, the only two now

mountain romance concerns it
self with the Mccoy who survived

about the same age. One day they
met on a mountain trail. Later the
little community in the hills was
startled to learn that the two had
eloped and that they had been mar
ried by a mountain preacher. This
ended the feud. The couple are hap

surrounded by growing boys and
girls carrying in their veins the fused
blood of the two old fighting fami-
lies.
At times the feud of former days
reached such proportions that State
troops had to be called out. The
trouble affected even the cousins Of
the two sides. Innocent women and
children were shot like rabbits in
the fields. In one instance two men,
bers Of one of the clans, both mere
boys, were tied to trees and burned
to death.

GULLIBLEs VISIT CHICAGO.
Easily Victimized by Sharpers, Who
Don't Half Try.

ChicagO.-The gullibility of some
persona - past all comprehension.
A party Of visitors from the West
once made up a purse of $15 to see
the statue of Gen. U. s. Grant dis
mount from the stone horse at Lin
coin Park.
A Kansas farmer agreed to pur-
chase the Federal Building for SS,-
060, securing his option with a cash
payment Of $14T.
Another man from down State
paid a newly found friend $3.50 to
see the Masonic Temple turn half
way around.
But a new bunco game was discov-
cred this week when Harry Pickles

Terrors 70 Sill Hats.

Any one who has ever caught 3
glimpse into the recesses of the aver
age cloak room at a function where
there were many men present must
give a sigh for the days when it was
fashionable to wear a crush hat To
see one of the attendants making his
headlong way through one of the
aisles with a bundle of coats over his
shoulder, leaving a trail of silk hats
knocked of their pegs and lying on
the floor, is to wonder how any man
ever gets his own tile back and also
throws some light on why a silk hat
looks so badly after it is returned to
its owner from the tender care" Of
the cloakToon berserkers. Careful
ness seems TO be a thing entirely IN
own to one of those hobbleje-
hoys.

Animals Which are Constant Men,
ace to Submarine Lines.

The Vicissitudes oil a submarine
cable are many. says the Magazine
of Commerce. 1t may be torn by
an anchor, crushed by a roch or Sc
riously damaged by coral reef such
as abound in the tropics.
Some of the growths often found
on a cable tend gradually to decap
the iron sheathing wires.
Then again. a cable sometimes
sewers by seaquake. 1t may be
fatally attacked by the snout of a
sawtish or by the spike of a sword
fish. But perhaps the little animal
that makes itself most Objectionable
from the cable engineers standpoint
is the Insignificant little terado
navalis.
This little beast is intensely greedy
where gutta-peTcha Is concerned,
working its way there between the
iron wires and between the serving
yarns. The silica in the outer cable
compound tends to defeat the terra
oos efforts at making a meal of the
core, Ind this defeat is further ef-
fected by he core being envelODed
in thin taping of brass.
But where the bottom is known
to be badly iLIesteo with these little
monsters of the deep the insulator is
often composed of india rubber which
has no attraction for the ter6do and
possesses tOughness, moreover,
which is less suited for its boring tool
than the comparatively cheese-like
gutta-percha, which it perforates
with the greatest ease.

cial acts were passed by Congress, ac-
cording to a statement just compiled by
Senator McCumber. chairman of the Sem
ate committee on pensions. While many
Of these acts were to increase pensions

During the first session of Congress
$3.50 such acts were passed. and in the
second session just concluded there were
special acts In 3,0l8 cases.
Since 1881 there have been granted by
special acts 26.324 original pensions. and
1850 veterans were granted an increase
of pensions, all Of which have an annual
face value of about $5.o5U.OOO AS many
of these pensioners were formerly on the
rolls at a lower rate. this figure does not
represent the total Increase OF the PEN
sion rolls on account of special legisla-
ton.
