Cursed Bible-A Horrible Pun
ishment.

Here's about the wierdest tale it
has been our fortune to pick up in
many day. and the strange part
of it is that the story is vouched
for by an apparently reputable
man with an earnestness that
leaves no doubt as to his convic-
ton of it's truth.
The most astounding information
came to Mrs. NJ. ]. Hennel, wife of
the well known farmer of Coshoc-
ton Rid No q. last week, in a let
ter from her son, who lives in
Little Rock. Ark.
1t tells of monstrosity born to
negro couple, and which he him
self had seen and SO speaks from
positive knowledge. That portion
of his letter explains itself as fol-
lows: You may not believe it,
but this is Gods truth. Just over
the river from us there was a
baby born in negro family. 1t
is called the devil, and it surely is
the devil. 1t has two horns, one
just above each ear, and has a
forked tail. The tail is about
three or four inches long and the
horns about one and half inches.
The thing could talk when it was
born-what do you think of that
And when it was born the father
and mother tried to kill it, but
they could not, and it cried out tc
them and said, IF you kill me
you will have seven more like ME, >

Without money, home or friends
dependent upon the county for

facing idiocy as the certain result
of a mental disease, William Har-
rison Cook, IS years old, decided
life was not worth living at the
county poor farm Saturday, and
so he ended it. Four times he
slashed a razor's edge across his

nerve and windpipe, but by re-
markable chance leaving the jugu-

razor fell from his hands did he
stop his frenzied hacking at his

which had escaped rupture from

alton and Cook died. as he desired

THE CABBAGE HAIR-WORM.
Fanciful Theory of Poisonous
Reptile in Vegetables Ex-
ploded by a Horti-
culturist.

The following account of the So
called Cabbage Snake" is given
out by the State Board of Horti-
culture, Columbia, Mo-, in view of
the fact that a good specimen was
recently sent in for identification
and to learn if it was poisonous:
Among the low organisms which
live most of their life in the earth
is a thread-like worm, whitish in
color and ranging in length from
two to nine inches. This organism
is not an insect and neither is it an
animal, but is closely related to
the common red earth-worm, with
which nearly everyone is familiar.
Like the earth worms the hair
worms often come out of the
ground in large numbers following
a warm rain in the summer, and
people seeing them for the first
time are apt to jump at the con-
clusion that they came down with
the rain. The American people
are dear lovers of mystery, and
when they do not understand any
thing they Immediately set about
weaving theories, and since most
people are very poor observers ant
overlook a number of facts, theil
theories are apt to be quite unreli,

Some Invention, All Right.

The editor of Dunklin county
paper who is hard working man,
is soon to retire from active work
and live at ease on the income de-
rived from an invention he has
just perfected, which is truly Won
derful. 1t consists of an electro mo-
tor fastened on the rump of a COW,
the electricity being generated by
an arm att ached to her tail, which
strains the milk and hangs up the
pail and strainer. A small phono-
graph accompanies the outfit and
yells so! every time the COW
moves. If she lifts her foot, a lit
tie dingus slips over condivus
and the monograph says Dam
metz If she continues to kick, a
hinged arm catches the rnilk-stool
and lams her on the back till it
looscns patch of hair as big as a
dust pan. A patent churn goes
with the outfit that works the
butter into one dish and the hair
into another.

able and absurd. The hair worm
is good example of this, as they
are often found after a rain in tiny
pools of water and while some say
they came down with the rain,
others just as vigorously contend
that they are horse hairs which
have turned to snakes.
About five years ago one of
these hair-worms was found in
head of cabbage and straightway
someone spun highly sensational
yarn to the effect that this was a
new kind of snake which was very
poisonous Sensational newspapers
took up the matter and ignorant
people seemed quite willing to be-
lieve all the wild stories that were
told. AS a matter of fact these
hair-wornns are quite harmless and
absolutely not poisonous. The
hair worms usually subsist on the
bodies of caterpillars and various
soft-bodied insects such as are
found under leaves and other litter
near the ground. In the few in
stances where they were found on
cabbage, they were probably there
seeking out the well-known cab
bage worms for food. The hair
worms have also been found in ap-
pies where they were attacking
the cooling moth worm which de-
stroys our fruit. 1t will thus be
seen that the hair worm is a friend
rather than an enemy, as it is par
asitic upon both the cabbage worm
and the codlipg moth.

Clara Leneve, was arrested here satur
day, when they arrived on the liner
Montrose, on charge of Staying his
wife, Belle Gilmore, that he had been
employed to defend the dentist in the

friends in the British metropolis had
raised funds with which to conduct the
defense.
The lawyer advised Crippen to keep
silent, as any statement he could make
might prejudice his case.
The attorney also advised Doctor
Crippen to return to England without
resisting extradition proceedings. Grip.
pen is being held a prisoner in the
local Jail pending his extradition. He
will be taken back to London on the
first steamer sailing from this port.
The prisoner has shown little emo
tiOn since his arrest. Clara Leneve
has been in the care of the jail physi-
clan ever since her arrest. She will
be taken back with Crippen if her
physical condition is good enough at

RICHARDSON Gets
BUT A SMALL FINE

A thirty.dollar fine was paid for the
supervisorial black eyes and one busted
supervisorial finger yesterday when
Judge Andrade assessed Everett Rich
ardson that much for beating up Jim
Quinn.
Richardson pleaded guilty and paid
his fine, Judge Andrade considering the
whole affair a huge joke and Quinn
shifting his anger from Sheriff Jarrett
to the judge whom he considers to have
let the man off too easy.
No consideration was given to the
fact he was also accused of seriously
beating a woman, as the complaint TO
which the man was answering only
charged the assault on Quinn.
1t is possible that this sentence does
not close the affair, but that other and
hitherto unreported features may be
brought up that will throw new light
on the disgraceful affair.

HUMANE SOCIETY WOULD

Considerable indignation is being ex-

the fact that a horse said to be seri-

a humane society officer yesterday had
had the case brought into court. The
horse in question is the property of
Captain Soule, the attention Of the
humane officer being called to its con-
dition on Monday afternoon. The
horse, according to this officer, was in
such condition that it could not be
forced out of walk while being driven
to the police station.
At the trial yesterday, Doctor Nor
gard, territorial veterinarian, was call
ed to the stand, his testimony being to
the effect that the horse was in good

Judge Andrade based his decision on
this evidence.
The humane officers are not satisfied,
however, and some members are recall.
ing the suspected hostility that the
territorial veterinarian bears towards
the society and its work. II is stated
that in revenge for a complaint MADE
by humane society officer that Nor
gaard treated his own horse inhuman.
ly, he (Norgaard) wanted to seize the
humane officer 8 pony to destroy 1t as IA
glandered animal. Other veterinarians
who were called in STAYED that the ami.
NAL had not the first sign Of the dis,
ease.
It is probable that the society win
carry the case of the Soule horse fur
ther, to make test whether animals
apparently as lame as this one is are
to be allowed to live and suffer for
the sake Of few years of whatever
work they may be able to do.
