The idea of a man cold-bloodedly risk¬ ing his own wife for a L'own stone House. It is perfectly awful- Supposing he had lost! ’ ‘But lie didn’t lose,’ replied Mr. Loveydovey: “he won. And he got the brownstone house. “Well, of course,’ assented the young matron, somewhat more mildly ( ( that is very nice. But it would have been terrible if. he had lost, Still a brownstone house is lovely.’ ‘So it is, my dear. But not worth the chances of losing a nice little wife. ‘Oh, no, of course not,’ replied Mrs, Loveydovey, hastily. But tell rue, dear, how is the bet made?’ ‘That’s simple enough,’ re¬ plied her husband. ‘Sam Sin¬ gleton owns the brownstone house opposite, doesn’t he?’ ■Yes.’* Aud I own j ou?’ Yes.’ “Well, I put you up against the house, If I win I keep you and get the brownstone house. If Sam Singletou win lie keeps his house and gets you.’ ‘Then.’ said Mrs. Loveydovey, wrinkling her pretty brow, ‘I would go with the brownstone house, anyway?* ‘Naturally; returned her hus¬ band. ‘Dearie! 1 said Mrs- Loveydov¬ ey, after a few minutes silence. ‘What is it?• asked Mr. Lov¬ eydovey, looking up. ‘Didn't, 1 she asked ehiley, 'didn't Mr. Singleton, want to bet? 1 * New Georgia Magnet.

She weighs only 80 pounds, but in her first public exhibi¬ tion last Thursday night she would sling strong men around as if they were toys simply by placing her hand upon a walk¬ ing cane or any other object which the men would hold. A largo bed post would bej placed upon the floor, She would place her hand on lop of it and in spite of the best effortsj of men weighing 175 to 200 ! pounds it would go dancing over the stage as if alive. The combined strength of; five men failed to hold still a chair which she would move with only one hand. That the powers possessed by the little girl are wondrful ro ous who lias seen her in pri¬ vate or public exhibitions will doubt. Fannie Hester is a preco dousgirl. At school she was always studious and brilliant. She converses with a degree of intelligence that, would do cred¬ it to one of twice her age. The mysterious power of which she is possessed was only noticed a few weeks ago and then by mere accident. Since that time the people of the county have flocked to see her and to satisfy themselves that the exhibitions are not the result of mechanical effects or acquired trickery. Mr. Hester, the father, is one of the most prominent men in the county. Judgment on Kinship, Mr. Editor: It seems that my refusal to sign judgments on kinship got into the grand .jury room wrong end foremost. Squire J. W. Almand, his son-in-law and kin, were heard there, I presume. I propose to be heard outside before the peo¬ ple. That was mighty little — telling the public that I drank whiskey—that was no news— everybody knew it. Squire Almand has the right to issue a summons for his kin— there his legal right stops, He has no right to place the case on his docket and require me, as an automan. to sign the judgment'and fifa, he to collect all the cost, paying me nothing. This he has done and his docket will show that lie owes me from 10 to 20 dollars for this Kind of work. This is what I kicked against. right Squire Almand has the to issue the summons, turn the case over to me, I try it, issue the judgment and fifa from my docket, pay him his cost, 35cts, when collected. I never have refused to do this. That is all I will do. I intended to gjve up the pet¬ ty office but now I will see my time. j. J. W. Glenn . N. P. 476th Diet., G. M. Banner please copy.
