THE “FILTHY WEED.
A FLORIDA PASTOR HUNG IN EFFI
GY BECAUSE HE SMOKED. :
Liguor Cannot Be Sold in the Place and
Lately There Has Been Mutter
ings About Tobacco. -
"An Avon Park, Florida, special says:
When the Rev. Mr. Robinson, pastor of
the Conzregational church at this place,
stepped out into the front yard this
morning he saw aneffigy of himself
hanging from the limb of a tree. It had
a placard bearing the inscription: “So
may all ministers be served who use to
bacco.”’
Avon Park was intended by its founder
to be a moral town., Liquor cannot be
sold in the place, and lately there have
been mutterings about the use of tobac
co. Suiday night the matter came to an
jssue in the church. Daring the debate
it developed that a mjority of the con
gregation were in favor of expelling every
man and woman whe used tobacco in
any form. Pastor Robinson confessed
that he himself used tobacco in his study.
The pastor hurried from the church
accompanied by such of the congregation
as agreed with him. During the night the
indignation of the anti-tobacco faction
increased o such a pitch that they hang
ed the offending pastor in effigy. The
tobacco users of the town propose to
build a chucch of thzir own, with Rev.
Mr. Robinson as pastor,

AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM.
A Matrimonial Mixture That Can’'t Be
Unraveled.
The two following cases would be diffi
cult to suspass, says the Philadelphia
Press. One was in England, the other
in Australia. Sometime ago a marriage
took plaze in Birmingham,which brought
about a very complicated state of family
relations. The woman had been married
three times before, and each time had
taken for her husband a widower with
children. Her fourth husband was a
widower, and as he had chilaren by his
first wife, who was herself a widow with
children when he married her, the newly
married couple started their matrimonial
companionship with a family composed
of the progency of eight previous mar
riages. Another curious case was that
of Dr. King, of Adelaide, a widower,
who married a Miss Norris. Shortly af
ter the doctor’s lioneymoon the doctor’s
son married a sister of the doctor’s wife,
Then a brother of the docto~'s wife mar
ried the doctor’s daughter. In other
words, the doctor’s son became his step
mother's brother-in-law, and the doctor’s
daughter became her stepmother’s sister
in-law. The doctor by the marriage of his
son to the sister of the doctor's wife, be
came father-in-law to his sisterin-law,
and the doctor's wife, by the marriage of
her sister to her stepson, hecame step
mother-in-law to-her own sister. By the
marriage of the brother of the doctor’s
wife to the doctor’s daughter the doctor
became father-in-law to his brother-in
law, and the doctor’s wife became step
mother-in-law to her own brother. It is
an unsolved problem as to what relation
ship the children of the contracting par
ties are to each other.
He Would Find “ut.
Uunder ordinary conditions he was a
man of prominence, but as he ascended
the steps of his residence, yery early in
the morning, it was evident that he de
sired to be as much otherwise as possible.
The cabby was lingering near to see that
his cha-ge was safely disposed of for the
night. The door opened b fore the man
on the steps could get the key to work,
and he was met with the question:
“John, where have you been?”’ :
Silence.
“John; where have you been?"’
He turned to descend the steps.
‘‘Are you going to answer my ques
tion?"
“Yes, m’ dear, I am. From my pers’-
nal knowledge I can’t give the desired
in'fmtion, ‘'nd 'm goin’ to ask the man
that drives the hack.”

The state commander writes us from
Lincoln, Neb., as follows: ““After trying
other medicines for what seemed to be a
very ostinatecough in our two children
we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery and
and at the end of two days the cough en
tirely left them. We will not be without
it hereafter. as our experience proves
that it cures where other remedies fail.””

A Unigue Prohibition Law.
A little German principality, Waldeck,
has promulgated a umque, and, we im
agine, quite effective prohibition law. A
decree has been proclaimed that a license
to marry will not be granted to any in
dividual who has the hab't of getting
drunk; and if one who has been a drunk
ard applies for such license he must
produce sufficient proof of reformation
to warrant his receiving it.
FROM THE MURDERER’S ROOM.
The Consternation Caused by a Hotel
Guest Who Wanted a Cocktail.
They sat in front of the steam radia‘or
in the hotel talking of the tragedy that
had occurred but a few days before in
room 49, where a man had killed his wife
and then fired a ballet into his own
brain, says the Philadelphia [nquirer. It
was naarly 2 o'clock in the morning, and
as the policeman on the beat started to
give his theory of the cause of the crime
he was interrupted by the ringing of the
call bell. The night cierk glanced at the
annunciator, and his face paled, for the
pointer indicated room 49. Since the
murder and suicide §orders had been
given not to use that room, aad, after
giving the button a push, he returned to
his seat. In a moment the bell rang
again, The call from room 49 had beun
repeated.
“Bur-r-r-r, bur-r-r-r,”’ again sounded
the bell.
Then the night clerk suggested that
some one zo up and see what was the
matter.
“It is tirae for me to make a pull,”’
said the policeman, ‘*‘but T'll be back
again,”’ and he went out, !
“I’ve just made a tour of the building
and found the fires and everything ali
right, and I don’t think it is my place to
go again now,” remarked the night
watchman,
“] can’t leave the office,”’ said the
night clerk, turning wo the c¢olored por
ter, so you had better see what is- want
ed. 9) £
“Well, I won’c go up dar,”’ restored
that worthy. All this time the bell kept
vs an incessant ringing, and it was final
ly decideded that they would all go. So
they started, heade '§by the watchman,
with a revolver in his hand. Back of him
was the porter, with a huge poker, and
the elerk brogulit up the rear,‘ with his
teeth chattering. Room 49 was on the
second fl or, and as the trio reached the
head of the stairs the door opened and
there stood a man dressed in white. The
watchman gave a yell, dropped his re
volver and fell back on the jporter, who
was thrown against the clerk, and all
three went tumbling down the stairs
together. They scrambled to their feet.
T'he porter rushed out the door, the
walchman sneaked down int) the cellar,
while the the clerk sank back in one of
the office chairs as he saw the occupant
of room 4% come in. '
“What's the matter? Why don’t you
answer the bell when Iring?”’ demanded
the stranger, as he stood in his night
clothes addressing the shivering and
shaking clerk.
Before the latter could reply the pro
prietor, who had bzen aroused by the
noise, came in and wanted to know what
was the troable.
*ls this a hotel or a lunatic asylnmf"'
angrily asked the occupant of No. 40 as
he glared from one to fe other. “[ came
here this afternoon tired out from trav
eling all night, and was assigned to room
49 by the day clerk. I slept uatil ab)ut
an hour ago, when I awoke wi.th a thirst
and wanted a cocktail. Irang the be'l
and kept it up for some time, but no one
responded. I want that drink and want
it quick.” P
The proprietor explained matters, and
lthe stranger received several cocktails
and stayed a week without cost.
A Clever Woman.
~ The director of a Chicago baak tells
about how his wife overdrew her ac
count at the bank last month. ‘‘l spoke
to her about it one evening,’’ says he,
‘‘and told her she ought to adjust it at
once. A day or two afterward I asked
bver if she had done what I suggested.
%oh, yes,’ she answered. ‘I attended to
¢hat matter the very next morning after
you spoke to me about it. I sent the
bank my check for the amount I had
everdrawn!”’

“Perhaps y»u would not think so, but
a very large proportion of diseases in
New York cormses from carelessness about
catching cold,”’ says Dr. Syrus Edson.
“It is such a simple thing and so common
that very few people, unless it 1s a case
of pneumoma, pay any attention to a
cold. New York is one of the healthiest
places on the Atlantic Coast, and yet
there are a great many cases of catarrh
and consumption which have theirorigin
in this neglect of the simplest precaution
cf every day life. The most sensible
adyice is, when youn have one get rid of
it as soon as poss ble. By all means do
not neglect it.’”’ Dr., Edson does not tell
you how to cure a cold, but we will.

A BOY BURNED TO DEATH.
Wandered From Home and Perished in
' a Forest Fire.
A special from Folkston, Ga., says that
a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison
Jacobs, who live near there in Charlton
county, was burned to death in a forest
fire one day last week. Mr. Jacobs was
away from home and a forest fire was
raging in the woods near the house, Mis.
Jacobs had left her liztle son in care of
an older son while she went' where the
fire was raging. She protected the fence
from the flames aud started to return
when she saw her oldesv child standing
near her, where he had been for some
time. Ihe boy had left his little brother
alope at the house and followed his
mother. The little chiid tried to find
his mocher and rambled off about 200
yards from the house. He was crying
and did not see the flames as they reach
ed out for him. Blinded by the smoke
and frightened by the noise of the flames
he was overcome. The flames leaped
forward and grasped him in their horri
ble embrace, and his screams were soon
hushed and his flesh was quickly con
sumed, His mother returned to the
house and began a search for him. She
was horrified to find her child dead and
the flames still feasting on his flesh. The
grief of the parents was heartrending.
