IEU MONARCHY OF MENDACITY.
Scoe cf tne ilast’rpiecss of the
World's Greatest Narrator.
From the Post-Express.
Five or six years ago the newspapers
published a remarkable story about a Ken
tuck" farmer who had imported a shipload
of monkeys from Africa and had trained
them to pick hemp.
The monkeys required little care in their
keeping, received no pay, and did their
work so well that the farmer discharged
ne;>riv every man in his employ, determined
to import a thousand more monkeys, and
locked forwaud with joy and confidence to
the time when, owing to the low cost of his
labor, he would obtain a practical monopoly
of the business of growing hemp, and would
bee .me one of the richest men in th < south.
Then the story went on to say that the
Knights of Labor of Kentucky had become
terribly excited over the affair, that they
had denounced the importation of monkey
lafcor from Africa as being worse than the
importation of pauper lab r from Europe,
Bri d that a strike would certainly oc-
Cli r, and there might be riots and bloodshed,
cnless the entile monkey business was
stopped.
This yarn was told in such an ingenious
way that many people believed it. But
the vary veterans among newspaper read
ers regarded it as the work of a colossal
liar. It was not long before Joe Mulhatton,
a commercial traveler, was known to be the
man who started the story on its rounds.
Then everybody knew that it was a lie.
This story is recalled to mind by the dis
patch from Chicago saying that Mulhatton
was found wandering about the streets in a
dazed condition, and is now locked up in
the Detention Hospital for the Insane.
Mulhatton was born in Allegheny City.
Pa, forty-three years ago, and has been on
the road as a commercial traveler for fifteen
or twenty years. In business affairs he has
been regarded as honest and conscientious.
His home is in Louisville, and he belongs to
the Baptist church. For many years nis
constant aim has boen to startle the world
with remarkable stories, or “fakes,” as such
productions are known in newspaper offices.
In telling lies of a plausible aud yet
remarkable character Mulhatton found al
most his sole enjoyment in life. Some men
devote their attention to billiards after
business hours, others to horses, others to
cards, to theatres, to literature, and so on;
but Mulhatton’s weakness was for the
strange and marvelous, and in the course of
time he became known as the champion
liar of America, the monarch of mendacity.
His name and his stories appeared in all the
newspapers, he became famous for out
landish inventions, and In 18S4 the com
mercial travelers, desiring to do him honor,
nominated him for President against Ben
Butler and Beiva Lockwood, and then for
got to vote for him.
Three years ago, in the Louisville Courier-
Journal, was printed a dispatch from At
lanta, Ga., telling about the remarkable ex
it* ience of a gentleman who had just re
turn and from a visit to the central part of
Alabama. On one occasion, while in the
country, he saw a man driviug ten or
t lve geese toward a cottou patch. Here
is ib story of what followed:
“ A Pat is that you have on the necks of
tbov* geese?” said 1.
“Those are gourds full of water. I drive
the goeso iuto that cotton patch and keep
them there all day w eeding out the cotton.
3 bore is no water in the cotton patch, and
I have to give them water, and tnis is ttie
way to keep then there. Those geese will
no and out more cotton in a day than two
. pie would. They will eat the grass and
n<* d.s, but they won’t touch the cotton.”
’’Hut how do they get water out of those
gourds under their necks?”
“They drink out of each other’s gourd.
Each gourd has an opening in the side, so
that another goose can put his bill into the
gourd and drink. If you will stop here long
enough you will see it for yourself."
I w aited there half a day to see that per
f TOianco, and finally I saw it. The geese
did just the same as the man said they
would. When a goose got thirsty he walked
up to his neighbor and coolly drauk out of
the gourd on his neck.
When asked if he had yet made a crop
with the help of the geese, he replied that
be had made a small crop last year, but
only had a limited number of geese, as ho
was only experimenting. This year he had
over KJO geese in harness, and they have
iuoceeded in keeping his crops cleaned out
so far. He has 100 acres under cultivation
and says he will make the best crop he has
ever made. \\ hen asked bow he came to
think of using the geese as farm hands, he
replied that two years ago he had a small
patch of cotton near his house. In this
patch the geese raised about his yard were
allowed to run. He noticed that the cotton
bad little or no grass and no weeds
at all, and he began to watch the geese. He
found that they ate eyery weed and every
blade of grass, but they did not touch the
cotton. Finding how valuable they were
for this purpose, he resolved to trv them on
a larger scale, and is delighted with his ex
periment. His neighbors have paid close
attention to the matter, and next year they
will start a number of geese in harness In
their cottou crops.
The dispatch concluded with the predic
tion that “if the farmer's experiment is as
successful as he thinks it will be, it is only a
question of a few years until the whole cot
ton crop of Alabama will be weeded out by
the ordinary goose." This was another of
Joe Mulhatton’s stories, and it went the
rounds amusing the wise and deceiving the
credulous.
Mulhatton’s earliest attempt at “fakes”
dealt with wonderful caves in Kentucky,
full of bones of prehistoric men and ani
mals. Once he wrote how oil wells of ex
traordinary capacity had been drilled r.ear
Glasgow Junction, Ky. This lie was very
deceptive, and many prospectors aud sci
entists hurried off to Kentucky to make
investigations. Another of Mufhatton’s in
ventions was in regard to a meteor that fell
in Texas. It was big eneugh to cover an
aore of ground and bored a tremendous
hole in the earth.
This same versatile and picturesque liar
has been credited with the author-hip of
the remarkable stor y of the lake of hair dye
that was published in the summer of 18S8 in
the \ irgiuia City Enterprise. We quote
It in full:
Mono Lake contains one of the greatest
natural deposits of hair dye in the known
w orld. A white-haired old Bodie man who
went down to the lake this summer was so
pleased with the bathing to be had there
that he went in for a swim regularly every
evening after finishing his day’s work. He
was down at the lake two weeks, and when
he got to Bodie his friends hardly knew
bun. He left Bodie a white-haired old man,
arid be came back a golden bionde and ap
parently a man of only middle ago.
All who bathe in the waters of that lake
become blondes, and if the bathing be per
sisted in for any length of time they get
red headed. A man last spring rented tne
Levining ranch, on the north side of the
lake. He has three strapping daughters.
As soon as the water became warm enough
the girls daily went bathing in the lake,
taking for their mermaid gambols a time
when the "men folks” were all out on the
ranch at w ork. When they began taking
their dips in tbe lake the girls were brown
haired, but they soon found themselves
blondes. This so delighted them that they
l egan bathing twice a day, and between
times wasbed their beads in water from the
lake.
The old man had noticed the gradual
change in the color of the hair of his
daughters, aid was much astonished
thereat, but he had his suspicions, and said
nothing. He kept quiet until the hair of
the girls became fiery red, and then he went
after the old woman about it. When he got
*° bad that be talked about killing a red
headed man who hod once been his neighbor
?>ver m California, hi* old woman told him
that it was only the water of the lake; that
the '.riunf irritation wus canned by the girl*
••thing in the lake.
The old man wild it might be, but he was
tot satisfied, lie ordered the old lady to
•atae regularly every day with the giria,
avmg that if she became red beaded ho
*oubi thing there ■ something in it. I
but the hair of the old woman was as red j
es that of her daughters. The old man still
thought there was some trick about tho
buss: ess, so be tried the baths nimself. Now
the old man, the old woman, and all hands
are a family of golden blondes.
Mulhatton has beeu charged also with
preparing the dispatch from Chihuahua,
Mexico, dated April 22, ISSU. that was pub
lished iu the St. Louis Olobs-Democrat.
This was a story of a tree that devoured
birds. To begin with, there was a detailed
description of how the narrator studied
b tany, and used to make long trips into
the mountains looking fir specimens
Finally the tree in question was discovered.
It was something like the we -ping willow,
“but the long, drooping, whip-hke limbs
aro of a dark and apparently shiny appear
ance, and seemed possessed of a horribk,
life-liks power of coding and uncoiling.”
One day the observer saw a bird settle on
the top of the tree. “The branches imme
diately began to awaken and curl upward.
Thev twined and twisted like sn kts about
the bird, which began to scream, and drew
it down in their fearful embrace until I lost
sight of it.” Under the tree was a sort of
cave, which the explorer discovered by acci
dent. “I enlarged the hoie,” says the liar,
“and then pushed my way up through the
passage. When I bad nearly reached tire
top I looked out cautiously to see if I should
emerge within reach of that diabolical tree.
But I found it nowhere near the aper
ture, so I sprang out. I was just iu
time to see the flattened carcass of the
bird drop to the ground, which was
covered with bones and feathers.” The
next day the explorer got half a dozen
chickens and threw them into the tree.
“The moment I tossed iu the fowls,” he
says, “a voilent agitation shook its
branches, which swayed to and fro with a
siuuous, snaky motion. After devouring
the fowls, these branches, fully gorged,
drooped to their former position, aud the
trees, giving no sign of animation I dared
approach it and take the limbs iu my hand.
They were covered with suckers, resem
bling the tentacles of an octopus. The
blood of the fowls had been absorbed by
the suckers, leaving crimson stains on the
dark surface.”
The dispatch concluded with an account
of how the explorer wrote of his discovery
to Prof. Wordenhaupt of the University of
Heidelberg, who replied that the tree was
the Arbor aiaboli, only two specimens of
which had been kno * n to science, one grow
ing on a peak of the Himalayas and the
other on the island of Sumatra.
It is to be hoped that Joe Mulhatton may
be restored speedily to health. A liar so
remarkable would be missed by the little
liars.

A LOVES'B LOST LOCKET.
It Brings to Light an Extraordinary
Romance.
From the Hew York World.
Chicago, April 27. —The theft of a little
old gold looket with a small pearl in the
centre which was stolen from William
Watterson St. I -oonard, an aristoerstio
young Englishman, in the depot of the
Northwestern railroad last Saturday night,
brought to light one of the most romantic
and strangest of stories.
Nine years ago the families of John
Kirby St. Leonard and John Fornby lived
in adjoining mansions iu Kensington, West
London. Both families were a/istocratio
and moved in high society. The two men
were partners in a banking business, aud
the members of their families were on the
closest terms of intimacy.
Young St. Leonard declared his love for
Mr. Fornby’s daughter, Mabel, about ten
years ago, and tho two became engaged to
be married. The young lovers had two
little lookets made, each with a pearl in the
center. Each swore to keep the trinket
until death.
About six months before the wedding was
to take piece the Arm fail-d. Mr. St. Leon
ard, half wild with excitement, attributed
the failure to his partner’s bad speculati ons,
and, teking all th 9 money that remaihed,
about $70,000, disappoaroij, leaving his wife
and only son. The same day, Foruby, with
only a few dollars in his pocket, accompan
ied by his motherless daughter, also disap
peared. By a strange coincidence all three
engaged passage on a sailing vessel which
was Pound for New York.
The vessel was well under way before St.
Leonard discovered that his former partner
and daughter were his fellow passengers.
A stormy scene ensued. The next day it
was reported that old St. Leonard in some
mysterious way had fallen overboard. No
one suspected that a crime had been com
mitted.
Arrived in America Fornby commenced
to speculate, aud in a short time he found
himself penniless. He deserted his daugh
ter, who drifted from one city to another,
doing whatever she could to earn a living.
Foruby gradually sank lower and lower
until he became almost a beggar, and was
compelled to stek Bowery lodging houses
for shelter. It was in one of
these places that his life ended.
Watched bv a young Irishman named
Barnard O’Brien, who occupied an adjoin
ing cot, his life passed away. Before
he died he told the young Irishman the
story of his life and how lie murdered his
old partner and threw him into the sea. His
daughter was the only witness of the crime.
Shortly after the disappearance of the
elderly St. Leonard his wife died, and the
son,left alone, started for America to search
for his father and Mabel Fornby. He had
little money.but after two years lucky spec
ulations made him the possessor of a snug
fortune. One day he advertisad for a valet.
Among the aoplicants for the place was
Barnard O’Brien, and he was engaged.
A little over a year ago, whil : with his
master in Hamilton, Bermuda, the young
Irishman died. On his deathbed he related
to St. Leona id tbe strange story told to him
by the dying man in the B iwery lodging
house. This was the first information young
St. Leonard had learned of his father. He
had never ceased to search for Mabel Fornby,
and now he determined to find her. He ad
vertised far and wide, and a few days ago
tbe efforts of nine years were crowned with
success. He learned that she was lying very
ill iu a poverty-stricken abode in the town
of Elgin, 111. He hastened to Chicago, and
shortly before 9 o’clock last Saturday night,
while he was waiting for a train in the depot
of the Northwestern railroad, a thief
snatched his locket from his watch chain
and ran.
St. Leonard arrival in Elgin not a min
ute too soon, for whe l he reached the house
where Mabel Fornby lay she was near to
death. With much difficulty he obtained
permission to sea her. She did not recog
nize him, and when he told her who he was
she feebly asked to see the mate to her
locket. She refused to believe his story of
the theft, and died shortly afterward. The
loss of the little locket made his search of
nine long years fruitless.
St. Leonard returned to Chicago early la9t
evening and went to the Northwestern
depot to see if the employes had heard auv
thmg of his Btolen locket. He also inquired
at toe Ceutral station and the Harrison
street station, but the police had not cap
tured the thief or recovered the little gold
locket. He left Chicago for his home in
Now York city last night.
LITTLE JOHN WAS DEAD.
And His Father Wanted to Get the
Fact in the Newspaper.
From tire Detroit Free Press.
It was almost midnight when he came
slowly up the three flights of stairs leading
to the editorial rooms and knocked timidly
at the door.
“Come in,” called out the city editor,
without looking up from his writing.
He came in slowly, a tall, middle-aged
man, too thinly elad for such a cold and
stormy night. His wrists and hard bony
hands showed red and bare Uvueath the
sleeve* <>f Id* thin and ragged old coat. He
hail nu honest but Ignorant face and an
awkward, enibarrassel air. He pulled off
bis oil hat aid held it mb Ah bis hands,
while he asktd:
* ‘ls it too late to git a little notion put
iuto the paper to-night, intstsrl"
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1891.
“No; guo*3 no*-,” replied the reporter.
“On* it writtenP
“No, I hain’t. I—”
“You’ll find a pad of paper and a pencil
on that table there. - ’
Ho pointed to a fable near lis own desk,
and the man sat down before it. He took
the pencil between bis stiffened fingers, b:t
at the end of it while in meditation, drew
the pad of paper toward him and began to
write.
But he mails slow and seemingly painful
work of it. He crossed out a word here aud
tnere ar.d his bund trembled strangely.
Ouce he furtively drew his ragged sleeve
across his eyes. Then |he turned to the
editor and said in a tone of troubled hesita
tion and appeal:
“I—l—don’t want to trouble you none,
sir, but I—l—ain’t used to wntin’ an’ I
never could spell good. If you—you—had
time to —to —write the notice for mu I’d try
to pay you what you think it’d be wuth.”
Something in the man’s tone and manner
touched the edit* r’s heart, and, busy as he
was, he said s**
“I’ll write it for you if there isn’t too
much of it.”
“Only throe or four linos, sir."
“Ob, a notice of a meeting, perhaps, or,
something of that sort.”
“No, sir; a notice of a—a— ’’ the man’s
voice died away to a whisper, his chin
dropped to his swelling chest, his wbolo
fra re trembled as he said, “a notice of a—
death!”
“I am very sorry,” said the editor kindly
and with genuine sympathy. "What is the
namei”
“ ‘Johnnie,’ we never called him anything
else. He was named‘John,’ after me, but
I’d rather have it printed ‘Johnuio.’”
“When did he die?”
“This evening, sir. It wa9 very suddan
and it comes harder on that account, though
God knows it would be hard enough if we’d
been expectin’ it. Such things never come
easy to them that loves their children, and
I—I—”
He held his faded old hat before his faoe
for a moment.
“How old was he?” asked the editor,
glanciug with misty eyes at a photograph
in a little red plush frame on his desk, the
photograph of a haudsome, bright-eyed
little boy with tbiok curls and a sinilling
face.
“Four years and six months to a day, sir,
and our only one. That makes it seem still
harder. His mother’* ’bout heart broken
and I—l—well, it’s turrible hard to sit and
watch a little life like that go out and to
think of what the home will be without it.
You got children, sir?’
The editor pointed toward the photograph
and said:
“This is my little boy.”
“ He’s a sweet lookin’ little feller. I hope
he’ll be spared to you. We’ve got a good
photograph of Johnnie. That’s one com
fort. I wouldn’t take a million dollars for
it now. Now, how much will it be for
writin’ and printin’ tho notice?”
“Nothing at all.”
“No? Well, I’m a thousand times obliged,
and I—l—hope nobody’ll ever have to write
such a notice for you ’bout that little boy
of yours.”
He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief
wet with his tears and went down the stairs
as slowly as he had come up and back to his
poor, little desolate home, to walk softly,
with bowed head, in the presence of death,
and to try to comfort his bruised heart with
the thought that the dear little boy had
gone to join the hosts of heaven.

THE POETS
Do not have the beautiful budding season to themselves. Melodi
ous as they are they do not attract as much attention as the tell-tale
symptoms that make their appearance when the blood is impure and
the system is in a state of disorder. The boils and eruptions that
take advantage of the season to tell their story are dumb, but elo
quent. Their meaning cannot be mistaken. Spring is not by any
means a beautiful season to those whose systems have been neglect
ed until the warning comes in the shape of boils and eruptions. It
is a season, however, that can be thoroughly enjoyed by those who
are thoughtful enough to take time by the forelock. A bottle or
two of the great tonic and blood purifier ia— mj- \w will ac
complish wonders. It drives out and de- stroys all
humors of the blood. James 1.. Boyle, of frk Atlanta,
