condition that he should never read
a newspaper. The will stated that
this nephew, who held a post in a

reading newspapers habit which

an Orchid Tragedy.

Perhaps Madagascar has claimed
more orchid hunters lives and been
the scene Of more revolving acts Of
cruelty than any other place. Some
years ago a German orchid fancier
while seeking some specimens in the
forests of this island was captured
by some of the native officials, who,
after covering him with oil, burned
him alive. Another collector who
was seized by some of the same Off
cials was allowed to choose between
being burned alive or himself set
ting fire to some fagots on which
lay another prisoner, also an orchid
collector, and thus saving his own
life. He chose the latter alternative
and died six months later lunatic.

Idleness.

1t is an undoubted truth that the
less one has to do the less one finds
time in which to do it. One yawns,
one procrastinates, one can do it
when one will, and therefore one
seldom does it at all, whereas those
who have a great deal of business
must buckle to it, and then they al
ways find time enough in which to
do it.

BLENNERHASSETT ISLAND.
And Its Owners Connection With the
Schemes Of Aaron Burr.

SCnSrTlSS OI AdTSt Sb'is
Fourteen miles below the mouth
of the Muskingum, in the Ohio riv-
er, lies an island comprising about
200 acres, which forms part Of
Wood county, W. Va, and is known
as Blennerhassett island.
Nearly hundred years ago it
was the scene of one of the most
dramatic events ever presented il
the west. To that island Harmon
Blennerhassett, son of wealthy
and noble family of Ireland, says
the Columbus Dispatch, brought his
equally cultivated and aristocratic
young wife in 1897, lured by de-
scriptions of the beauty and wealth
of the western America, to estab-
ish their home.
Aaron Burr, bent on the estab-
ishment Of a sovereign government
somewhere in the west, with him
self at the head Of it, met the Blen-
nerhassetts on a western tour and
drew them into his scheme. When
the government discovered the plot
Blennerhassett was arrested with
Burr, his princely home on the Ohio
river was wrecked and despoiled
and the real estate attached by a
creditor of Burr, who held notes
that Blennerhassett had indorsed.
In spite Of this Blennerhassett
stood by Burr even in his disgrace,
and it was not until he found that
Burr, having got from him all his
property or caused him to lose it in
one way or another, was willing to
cast him aside, that his eyes were
opened to the fact that he had been
duped. Blennerhassett never re-
couped his fortunes. The wreck
and ruin of his life and estate were
complete and permanent.
In the trial for treason both Burr
and Blennerhassett were acquitted,
but were later hailed before the
state court of Ohio at Chillicothe to
answer to a charge Of violation of
the laws Of that state. Those
charges never came to trial.
Blennerhassett was born shortly
after the middle of the eighteenth
century. He died in poverty on the
island of Guernsey in 1921. His
widow, returning broken hearted to
the United States, secured the in
PRODUCTION OF a bill IN congress Civ
ing her $40, 900 damages for the de-
structioL of the Blennerhassett
home by the militia of Virginia on
the occasion OF the discovery Of the
Burr plot. Henry Clay championed
her claim. but while it was pending
she died.
The Blennerhassetts had three
sons. The eldest became diadpated
and died in New Orleans debauch,
the second was an imbecile end died
in New York about 1854, and the
other one was killed while serving
as a soldier in the Confederate
army.

The Horse's Ears.

Whether you drive single horse
or a team the principles are the
same, but in driving a pair see to it
that each horse does his share of
the work and no more. A pair of
horses, moreover, unless well driven
are sure to get in the habit of wan
dering over the road. To drive well
you must keep your eye and your
mind on the horse. Watch his ears.
They will be pricked forward when
he is about to shy, droop when he
is tired, fly back just before he
"breaks" into gallop and before
he kicks. Before kicking, too, a
horse usually tucks in his tail and
lunches his back little. When
YOU observe any of these indications
speak to him sharply and pull up
his head.

Lawrence COUNTY
ACQUIRES RIVER bridge
C. & o. STRUCTURE AT THREE
MILE PASSES INTO HANDS
OF COUNTY.

Lawrence county has accepted as a
gift the abandoned G. & o. railroad
bridge at Three Mile and will floor II
and put on side guards and convert IL
into a county bridge. The offer came
through Laud Holt and Jay ii. Northup.
The county court has appointed re-
viewers To locate road leading from
the bridge, on the west side of the riv-
er, to a connection with the Lick creek
county road. Then the question Of
rights OF way viii have TO be settled,
and the route selected for the new road
will depend largely upon the results in
this important matter.
The bridge spans Levisa fork OF Big
Sandy river three miles south of Lou
lisa and has been superseded by new
railroad bridge built short distance
south Of the old one. The railroad
made a nominal price on the structure,
which originally cost $4,000 or more.
The ties are set on edge and when
turned down on the side will form a
solid floor about six inches thick 1t
will give much needed outlet for the
people In that vicinity and for miles up
on the east side OF the river. II is ex-
pected that this work will proceed
without Unnecessary delay.

Layne and d. J. Galloway.
