birthday anniversary of Mrs. Sarah

D. G. Palmer of Stella were with their
mother at the celebration. Willard
p. Grant of Spokane, Wash, and Sam
uel La Monte Grant of Oklahoma were
unable to attend.
Mrs. Grant sat at her spinning
wheel, which is more than a hun.
dred years old, and showed the young
er generations how she used to spin
years ago, when all the clothing was
home woven. The spinning wheel was
brought from New York to Wisconsin
in 1874 by Mrs. Grants father, and
when she was married in 1S47 it was
given to her. Her children say the
old wheel has hummed them to sleep
many nights.

Capture of Jefferson Davis.

Casper Knobel, of Philadelphia, who
is said to be the last survivor of the de-
tail of fourteen men from the Fourth
Michigan Cavalry which captured Presi'
dent jefferson Davis, of the Confederate
States, May 10, 1865, recently celebrated
the forty-eighth anniversary of the event.
Knobel's account of the incident is an
other refUtation of the false story circu-
lated so persistently for years that Mr..
Davis was disguised in the apparel OF
his wife when he was captured. Kno-
bells account is as follows:
"On May Z, 1862 left Macon, Ga,
with the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, Col.
Pritchard commanding. 10 encompass
the capture of JEFF Davis. Near Able
vile the force was divided into equal
numbers and commanded TO scour the
country. A detachment of fourteen, |
among the number, was sent straight
ahead. We were riding that night when
we saw the embers of a fire in the middle
of the road and had good reason to be-
lieve it to be in front of Davis 'stent.

Mrs. Davis followed her husband out
of the tent. On challenge TO tell who
he was, Davis replied: That is none of
your business, whereupon soldier rails

threw herself between the two and plead
with the soldier not to fire. The early
morning was damp and chilly, and Mrs.
Davis threw her shawl over the Shout

story was started that Davis tried to es-
cape in his wife's clothing. That wasn't
true, though | have heard it repeated
many times Exchange.

BABY IS A SMOKER
Connecticut Boy of Three a Sea-
soned User of Tobacco.
John lippke, Jr., of Waterbury, Con-
sumes Three Cigars Daily-Young-
ster Began Habit When He
Was Only One Year Old.

Waterbury, Corn.-Physicians are
puzzled over the case of John Lippke.
Jr.. son of Mr. and Mrs. John Lippke.
of No. 305 North Main street, who at
three years old smokes daily three
cigars. The child, according to his
parents, has been smoking since he
was a year old, and all attempts to
break him of the habit have failed.
The physicians declare they have new
er heard of a parallel case. Con-
sumption of more than 1000 cigars
year is not his only accomplishment.
for in addition this infant relishes a
pipe and cigarettes.
The boys father is a machinist in
one of the local factories and an in
veterate smoker. About two years
ago, according to Mrs. Lippke, her
baby found lighted cigar on table
and picked it up. He placed it be-
tween what few teeth he had and
pulled vigorously, as he had seen his
father do many times. His mother
took the weed away from him, but the
baby cried SO hard that she finally
gave it back to him. After that, &C
cording to the parents, the boy had
to have his smoke every day, in addi-
ton to an occasional cigarette and a
pull at pipe.
Even in the case of a boy fifteen
years old, physicians declare, the hab-
it would have a serious effect on his
health, yet this child Of three seems
to thrive on the weed. When a re-
porter called at the house Mrs.
Lippke had the boy perform" for the
benefit of the visitor. AS there were
no cigars In the house, she filled a
pipe with strong tobacco and gave II
to her son. He seized it eagerly and,
after applying match, stretched back
in chair and pulled away, apparently
well satisfied with the world in gen.
eral and himself in particular. Asked
to inhale the smoke, the child drew
deep breath and exhaled the fumes
from his lungs through his nostrils
with the manner and ease of q veter-
an smoker of ten times his age. He
seemed to delight in this, and one OF
his tricks was to block one nostril and
blow smoke out through the other.
The boy likes strong cigars and he
has his favorite brands. He seems to
have DEVELOPED into a connoisseur, for
he will smoke no other brands, and
one puff on a cigar is enough to tell
him If it is the desired kind. All this
apparently has not stunted his growth,
for he is well developed for his age,
and Is considered unusually bright
/, Mrs. Lippke says she dislikes to
take him in the street with her, for
he stops at every tobacco store win
dow and begs for cigars. DR.. M. ].
McDermot has been trying without
avail to break the child of the smok-
ing habit, and other physicians are
watching the case with unusual in
terest, for they cannot believe he will
not eventually be seriously affected by
the habit.

Mysterious Case of French Woman

Paris.-Mlle. Lecaux, who has for
fifty years been living in the environs

reason is unknown. Some say it is
hypochondria, others assign love az

may, in 1853 she made her decision.
A caller investigating the case was
shown into a white room, containing
bed in a wooden alcove closed by
white curtains, like sepulchre.
The family objected to the visit,
saying that she was in bad humor,
and her authoritative voice, strong

She then ordered dinner-radishes

He Wrote The Psalms.

1t seems that whether Bacon wrote
Shakespeare or not, Shakespeare must
have written the Psalms. This tremen-
dous discovery has been made by an an
onymous correspondent of a London
ewspaper and here is how he figures il
out: The word Shakespeare" he re-
marks, contains four vowels and six con-
sonants. Four and six placed together
form the number as. Very we'll. Now,
if The 10th Psalm is turned to, it will be
found, says the discoverer of the cryp.
togram, that the 10th word in it is
''shake. and that the 10th word from
the end is spear
OF course this constitutes proof posi-
tive that Shakespeare wrote the Psalms
AT least" affirms the man who made
the discovery. ut is about as conclusive
proof as the Baconites have"
