It would seem that the art of mak ing artificial legs had been handed down for many generations. But it is not so. “Peg” legs are quite old to be sure, but the jointed ar tificial log, made in imitation of the natural limb, was only patent ed in 1800, by B. D. Douglas of Springfield, Mass. A few days ago Mr. Douglas died, at the age of 75 years. He had accumulated quite a neat fortune from his in vention. Among his clients he numbered a member of the royal family of China, whose leg had been cut ofif by order of the Empe ror for some transgression of the law. STOPS PAIN Athens, Tenn., Jin. 27,1901.

WASHINGTON LETTER Chatty Gossip About the “Lady Scrap pers”--Wheeler’s Leap Into Noto riety-Gen. fliles Again Per sona Grata at the White House-President at a Banquet, Etc. From our regular correspondent. The “lady scrappers,” as the Daughters of the American Revo j lulion are frequently jocularly I called, on account of the scrappi j ness of their debates, the strenu ousness of which in past seasons would have made the Reed rules look sicker than a discarded lover, are again holding their annual congress in Washington. Mrs. Fairbanks, the president, has so far prevented any scrapping of as i serious a nature as that at last year’s session, but a number of | the daughters are going around 1 looking as though they believed themselves to be mothers of revo lutions and i itended to trot out their offspring. Consequently it would not be safe to bet that the calm would last another day. The daughters are having a royal good time socially, as they always do have in Washington, and as they deserve to have everywhere | for they are as lovable a lot of women as could be found any where, when they are not riding their hobbies. Representative Wheeler, of Kv., awoke the day after he made his “little Dutchman” speech and found himself notorious, if not famous. His mail, which was be fore confined to a few letters from his district, has grown to hundreds of letters a day from everywhere, and, he says, some of them are commendatory. About nine out of every ten strangers who have been in the House gallery since have asked to have Mr. Wheeler pointed out to them, and some of them have said things. One thing can be said to his credit; he stands by all he said and didn’t try to tone his language down in the Record. If there was any ill will between the President and Gen. Miles on account of the Schley reprimand episode it has passed away like a a summer cloud. The two men had a chummy private talk of half an hour at the White House this week and when they parted both looked as pleased as anew daddy. President Roosevelt has made it a rule to decline invitations to banquets given by organizations in Washington, but he made an exception in favor of the Depart ment of the Potomac, G. A. R., and was a guest at the banquet given tonight by the veterans in honor of Gen. Torrance, com mander-in-chief, and heard the “old boys” tell interesting remi niscences of the war that was fought when he was a kid. Quite a number of noses were put out of joint and possibly the exhibition of a few elongated ears was headed off by the decision,of the high muek-a-muck committee that the local authorities should have no part in the official recep tion of Prince Henry, which is to be distinctly a national affair. To let the three gentlemen who are joint-mayors of Washington under the title of commissioners, down easy, it has been arranged to allow them to call on Prince Henry at the German Embassy, after the President makes his cer emonial call. One of the commis sioners is an army officer, and if he should take a notion to wear his full dress uniform when the trio make their call on the Prince he will probably never be forgiven by his civilian colleagues for out shining them in the eyes of the royal visitor, but why imagine that he could be guilty of such cruelty. Perish the thought! Representative George B. Mc- Clellan of New York, enjoys the distinction of being the only man in congress born abroad who is eligible to the Presidency. He was born in Dresden. Germany, while his parents, Gen. George B. (“Little Mac”) and Mrs. McClel lan were making a tour of Europe, just after the civil war. He is very fond of the country of his nativity, although he left it before he was old enough to know any thing about it. He speaks German but lie acquired it in this country. Senator Tillman is probably responsible for more laughter in the Senate than any other one man. Consequently, if the theory that a good laugh is more benefi cial than a dose of medicine be correct, he is a public benefactor. All his colleagues like him person ally, whatever some of them may say to him in their frequent polit ical spats with him. The other day Senator Gallinger, who doesn’t love the civil service law, in a few remarks against the ex | tension of the civil service rules : said they had given protection to j clerks “who would no more pass the examination prepared by the : civil service commission than the ! Senator from South Carolina could manage M. Santos-Dumont’s dirigible balloon.” “Humph!” replied Mr. Tillman, “from the ; latest accounts M. Suntos-Dumont doesn’t appear to be able to man age the thing himself.” Senator Gal linger joined in the general laugh at the aptness of the retort. Senator Fairbanks thinks the popular idea of the life of a Con gressman is about as great an er ror as that of the iife of a news paper man. Speaking on the ; subject he said : “Newspaper men and Congressmen are the hardest worked people in the world. There is a popular impression that be cause the entire Senate is not always present at the debates we must be wasting the people’s time. J was for six hours today with the Committee on Imigration at an important hearing on the Chinese exclusion bill, and didn’t get into the Senate chamber until four o’clock. Senator Spooner said the other day, during the discus sion of the contingent fund of the Senate, that he usually takes up the study of important questions at an hour when people generally have gone to bed, and I imagine that the same is true with many of us.” The Negro and the Bull. A negro man with a rope tied to the left leg of a large bull created some excitement in the neighbor hood of the depot Monday morn ing. The bull became frightened and was unruly. He was a very large animal and the negro could not manage him. Sometimes the negro ran after the bull and then again the tallies were turned and the bull would chase the the negro. Quite a large crowd gathered to witness the performance and many suggestions, wise and otherwise, were made on the part of the by standers as to how the bull could be calmed, but all to no avail, and when last seen the bull was still leading the negro a chase down the railroad.

Miss Vira Waller received a bottle of buttermilk as tackiest dressed girl. Popcorn, candy and crackers were then served A parting game of “Old Virginia Reel” was play ed when the party dispersed de claring a most pleasant evening. Clerk's Wise Suggestion. “I have lately been much troubled with dyspepsia, belching and sour stom ach,” writes M. S. Mead, leading phar macist of Attleboro, Mass. “I could eat hardly anything without suffering several hours. My clerk suggested I try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did with most happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can go to eating mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts after such a time, their digestion must be pretty good. I endorse Kodol Dyspepsia Cure heartily.” You don’t have to diet. Eat all the good food you want but don’t overload the stom ach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests your food. Jno II Blackburn, L. Holmes. Barnesville, Milner, Ga. llclighUHl With Them. A gentleman in the city a few days ago from Fort Valiev stated to the News-Gazette that the people there were greatly delighted with Dr. and Mrs. J. M.
