THE HOME JOURNAL,
PERRY, GA.
Probably the most noticeable man j
in the G. A. R. parade in Washing- i
ton was Dan Bums of Westmore- j
land, Pa., who is 7 feet 2 inches j
high. Carrying a tattered battle ;
flag, he towered above every man
in the post like a veritable giant.
The story was told during the day
by some of Burns’ friends that
when he enlisted at the beginning
of the war he lined up in tne rear
rank. The commanding officer or
dered him to come off the stump on
which he was supposed to he stand
ing. When Dan declined to “come
down,” an irate officer rushed to the
rear to see that the first case of in
subordination was properly pun
ished. He was amazed beyond all
measure and could hardly believe
his eyes when he saw the towering'
“high private” was really standing
on the ground.—Cleveland Leader.
“Puck’s Girdle."
That which has been fancifully
called “Puck’s girdle” is at last
reality. For the first time a line
of telegraphic communication ex
tends entiroly around the world.
The groat work has been done with
little fuss or popular attention.
There is a striking contrast between
its quiet, matter of fact completion,
announced to the world in a few
lines of news, and tho tumultuous
jubilations which marked the estab
lishment of cable communication
across tho Atlantic ocean. For that
the reason is obvious. Wo have be
come so accustomed to submarine
cables that tho laying oft new one,
even though it ho by far the longest
in the world and though it be laid
across a sea never before thus span
ned, is a commonplace incident.—
New York Tribune.
The Oldest Newsboy.
A familiar figure rieen around the
Chicago and Alton depot at Joliet,
111., is the oldest newsboy in the
United States. Orsamus. Page has
been soiling newspapers in Joliet
since the World’s fair in 1893, nev
er missing a; single.day or failing to
meet tho early trains. Page was
horn in 1809, being ninoty-three
years^ of age, and retains his vigor
to such an extent that ho is able
,to rise every morning at 4 o’clock
and deliver thirty or forty papers
before the early train arrives. Mr.
Page comes from long lived stock,
his father dying at eighty-nine, his
mother at ninety-eight, while his
grandfnther lived to be 102 and his
grandmother 106.
Song of tho Drinking' Cups.
They hung us hers by the fountain's
spout,
Two Iron cups, where Its stream pours
out,
And hero the crowds of tho east side
street
Who are thirsty and faint from tho tene
ment’s heat
May come and take of our charity,
May come and drink of our waters free.
THIRSTY IiITTIiB ONBS.
[Fountain In front of Young People's as
sociation house In Sixty-third street,
New York.]
And many a story of joy and woe
Has mingled and Bunk In the fountain’s
flow,
Of hearts that beat high or that silently
bleed,
Of faith that stands Arm or that breaks
like a reed,
Of love that falters and sinks down
aghast,
Of the love that suffers and conquers at
last.
All classes and kinds and ages of life—
The toddlhig babe,, the pale faced wife,
The whistling boy, the workman grim—
All lift to their lips our dripping brim,
The noblest, the vilest, the worst, the best,
At the waters of life is a welcome guest.
—New York Tribune.
A Bulldog Smasher.
A bulldog attacked Julius Hager
near his. home in West Hew York,
FT. J., and the savage brute sank its
teeth in his arm. Hager grabbed
the do^ by the tail and dashed out
its brains against a telegraph pole.
This was the fourth dog that had
attacked him within a month, and
all of them ho served in the same
way.
pry electrocution.
A new apparatus has been in
vented for killing flies by electricity,
says the London Express. It looks
somewhat like a gridiron placed
vertically, with a horizontal shelf
hanging beneath. The gridiron is
composed of wires which are con
nected with an electric battery, and
the wires are so close together that
a ily alighting can hardly fail to'
stand upon At least two of them at
once. TO*4vires being alternately
negative ana positive, the insect by
the mere act of alighting upon the
machine completes a circuit and is
instantly killed. At intervals the
horizontal shelf may be removed
and the dead flics brushed off.
Vienna Cabmen.
The “cabbies” of Vienna are in a
sorry plight. Owing to the com
petition of the electric cars they
are left almost without a fare. A
meeting of the cabmen was held the
other day, and it was agreed to
petition the government for com
pensation by giving each cabman
$600, the value of tfyi license, and
issuing no more licenses in future.
The men then propose to sell their
vehicles and with the additional
grant of $600 start in a new busi
ness. Unfortunately for the oab-
men, the possibility is exceedingly
remote of the government meeting
their suggestion.
Modern Colossus.
Living in Dover, England, is a
man who is an amazing sight, and
for tho reason that he. weighs not
less than 733 pounds. Moreover,
his relatives say that his weight in
creases every year. He has not been
able to walk for the last eight years,
and he passes his days in an im
mense chair, which is on wheels,
an<1 therefore can be rolled from
place to place.
At night the giant is wheeled to
his bed, into which he hoists him
self by means of a trapeze.
A traveling showman recently of
fered this fat man $300 a day if he
•would exhibit himself, but the of
fer was declined. “I don’t need
money,” said the fat man, “and
I’m too fond of my family to leave
them.”
Thrifty Russell Sage.
A solicitor for a Wall street paper
had been trying for a long time to
secure the signature of Russell Sage
to an advertising contract at a cost
of $100 per year, hut to no purpose.
To show how diligently he had been
working, hoping thereby to induce
Mr. Sage to sign the contract, he
said:
“I think, Mr. Sage, you ought to
favor me with this order, for I have
been after you for three years.”
The old financier leaned hack in
his chair, thought a moment and
then asked, “How long have you
been trying to get this contract, did
you say?”
“Three years,” hopefully replied
the agent.
“Then, you see?*" continued Mr.
Sage, “I have saved just $300.”—
New York Times.
To Save Tin Cans.
When a can rusts through where
the sides join the bottom, it is not
necessary to throw it away, as the
holes may he effectually stopped by
covering them inside with a small
piece of linen dipped in copal var
nish, the tin being previously thor
oughly dried. When the varnish
hardens by drying, the can will be
perfectly water tight.
1 Ground Frozen 225 Feet.
William Boone, a miner, says the
Kansas City Journal, who has come
down from Dawson City, Klondike,
to spend the winter with relatives
at La Plata, says he has dug 225
feet deep in the ground of his
claim, but has never been able to
reach a point where the ground was
not frozen hard.
Dislocated Her Shoulder.
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of
Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dis
located her shoulder. She had a
surgeon get it back in place as
soon as possible, but it was quite
sore and pained her very much.
Her son mentioned that he tad
seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm ad
vertised for sprains and soreness,
and she asked him to buy her a
bottle of it, which he did. It
quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sleep which she had not
done for several days. The son
was so much pleased with the re
lief it gave his mother that he has
since recommended it to many
others. For sale by All druggists.
