LIVED LONG ON FRUGAL DIET
EneIIshman Who Died in 1880 Proved
That II Was Possible to Exc

Thomas F. CURLY, the champion
eater of Massachusetts,, declared that
dyspepsia is the result Of eating too
little, and not too much. His Sunday
dinner consisted Of thirteen Holsters,
sixty eggs, and one hundred oysters.
At the other end Of the scale must be
placed old Roger Crab, the first vege-
tartan, who died September IL, 1850,
after proving that man could live
on IS cents a year. Originally a hab-
erdasher in big way Of business at
Chesham, England, free liver and
drinker Of strong ales, he got re-
1igion"-also dyspepsia--in middle life,
sold his stock, gave the proceeds to the
poor, and took to living in a hut on
three-farthings week. Instead Of
"strong drinks and vines" he says In
his autobiography, II give the old
mamie lived two centuries too soon
to call it Little Mary"-"a cup Of
water; and, instead Of roast mutton,
rabbit with bran, and pudding made
with bran and turnip-leaves chopped
together" And on this diet he lived TO
ripe old age, surviving repeated
cudgelings and imprisonment for
witchcraft.

FISH HAS TWO UGLY WEAPONS
Giant Ray Said to Use Mouth Like q

A so-called devilfish that is COM
mon on American coasts from 30 de-
grees north latitude to about the same
degrees south Of the line, Is the giant
ray. This fish looks very like skate,
but grows to an enormous size. 1t lies
ON the sea bottom, covering square
yards of coral sand, and If attacked
may prove not only nasty, but most
1t Is said to use its mouth
like a shark, but its most unpleasant
weapon Is the tOothed spear In its tail.
Fishermen say 1t is able to drive this
jagged lance through mans thigh.
Such a wound is extremely dangerous
and almost invariably proves fatal. In
the southern part Of the Gulf Of Mex
leo specimens Of the giant ray have
been killed up to 10 feet across. The
ray has two horns, one on each side
Of Its eyes, the latter being green,
hideOus and cruel beyond expression.
A curious habit Of this fish Is to break
water like q whale, falling with q
splash that Is heard for q
long distance.

GROESBECK PLEASES
FARM LEADERS
IN conference
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR
GOVERNOR APPROVES OF PLANS
TO AID PRODUCERS AND
CONSUMERS.

"The farmers of Michigan have
with the attitude CT Mr.. Groesbeck
with reference to the wishes Of the
farmers to have better representa-
ton In state affairs and as to the pur-
poses of farmers organizations. This
opinion was expressed by N. p. Hull,
one Of the best known representatives
Of Michigan farming activities and
farm organizations.
Following his nomination as the
Republican candidate for Governor,
Mr.. Groesbeck called a conference of
farmer representatives for the purpose
Of learning what could be done to as
sist in restoring production to the
abandoned farms OF Michigan ind to
add to assurance that provision for the
welfare of the farmer and the farm
consideration these subjects we'll de-
served. At this conference the mat
ter of production and distribution of
farm outputs was discussed at length.
1t was stated by the representatives
Of the agricultural interests that there
Is too wide breach between what
the farmer gets for his produce and
what the consumer pays for 1t, and 1t
was their opinion that legislative &C.
ton could be taken through which
this situation, hurtful alike to produc-
er and final consumer, could be bet
ter handled in Michigan.
The farmer representatives at the
conference stated that they had no
definite legislative program in mind
and would only ask for the adoption
of measures that would promise bene-
fetal results to the state as a whole
and to all its people.
Cordial approval was given by Mr..
Groesbeck to the plea for fair play
made by the agricultural leaders, and
he gave assurance that If elected gov.
ernor he would be glad to further con.
fer with the representatives OF the
Michigan farmer touching matters of
policy affecting their interest and to

He Had the General Idea.

Rousy Johnson had never attained
to any "book larnin'," but managed
to absorb considerable Of the general
idea during one winter when the dis
trict school teachers boarded with him.
During the winter the teacher often
corrected the Johnson children In their
grammar, and ROusy was proud of
his offsprings' education.
After the teacher left Rousy elected
to keep up the good work. At the sup
per table one evening he asked Ted,
the nine-year-old boy, a question, and
received the answer: "Uh-huh."
Rousy judged this was grammatical
error. "What do you mean by an
swering me that-a way?" he demand
ed. "Uh-huh amt no word. II you
mean yep, say yep, and don't grunt

FOR LARGER SERVICE

urged as to give a good indication of
the trend of sentiment in that region
of large Republican majority.
IF an honest, sincere and success
full endeavor in the public interest Is
entitled to reward, 1t is a certainty"
says the Powers-Spalding Tribune,
that Alex ]. Groesbeck should be
promoted from the Office of Attorney
General to that of Governor"
"He took legal action against many
concerns and individuals who owed
money to the state and collected
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
"He cleared up the Jackson prison
situation and recently won the regard
Of every ex-service man in the state
by his successful fight in behalf Of the
soldier preference law.
IF he is elected Governor, he will
give the same intelligent zeal to the
Office that he has exhibited in his
present position, and Michigan can be
assured of a careful and business.

the statement OF these opinions with
this urge to his fellow partisans:

LINKS WITH HISTORIC PAST
Interesting to Trace the Names Of
Streets and Lanes In City Of
Boston Today.

The names of the streets and lanes
OF Boston are closely linked with the
historic past. Others there are which
could be connected with Boston only,
such as fremont street, a corruption
Of "Tri-inOuntain," by which name
Boston was known to the early set
tiers on account of the three high hills
that serve as background to the pen
Ursula. This replaced the name
"Shawmut." given to 1t by the Indians.
Mary Harrod Northend writes in the
Century Magazine that the streets Of
this quaint city In the East were laid
out by straying cattle.
After the Revolution the names Of
many Boston streets were changed.
Queen street became Court street, and
King street the State street Of today.
School street took It's name from
school that was erected there. Dark
alleys, leading of the principal streets
on every side, were named after path
ways, usually depending on where they
led to. Creek lane originally led to the
old creek. 1t was In tavern days that
this was the center Of stage-coach
life. The old custom house once stood
on Flag alley. Corn court took Its
name from the fact that the corn mar.
ket was at one time situated there.
Summer street was once know as "Sey-
en- Star Lane" 1t is now one Of Bos-
tons busiest streets.

WILL THAT ALARMED WORLD
Eccentric Frenehman Planned to
Build Up Large Estate, But In
the End SIonaily Failed.

Mingled wonder, Indignation and
alarm were excited in the public mind
over will left by Peter Thelusson.
Frenchman, who died on July p, 1897.
1t appears that the testator had accu-
mulated large fortune as London
merchant, and by the provisions Of his
will he left to his wife and children
the sum of 100000, and the residue
of his property, amounting to
about 100000, he committed to
trustees, to accumulate during the
lives of his sons, and finally to revert
to his eldest great-grandson. Should
no heir exist, the accumulated prop
erty was to be conveyed to the sink
ing fund for the reduction of the ma
tional debt. According to the lowest
calculation It was estimated that tire
fortune would amount to f19.OOO,O00
The will was generally stigmatized as
absurd and illegal, and the family test
ed II In court, where 1t was sustained,
as ii was likewise In the house of lords.
In 1900 an act was passed making null
all requests for the purpose of ac-
emulation for longer than twenty
years after the testators death. The
last grandson died in 1856, and dis
pute arose as to whether the eldest
sons grandson should inherit or the
eldest great grandsOn. 1t was decided
In favor of the former. BY reason of
litigation and accidents of management
the fortune inherited was little more
than the original 100000.
