CALL TO SEE ME.

Sandow Beat the Robbers.
A good story is told of how San-
dow’s strength stood him in good
stead among the bullies who have
lately been infesting the Bois de
Boulogne, in Paris, relates the
London M. A. P. Their method
of action is to have one of the
gang follow the proposed victim.
At a given signal several others
approach and close in on him, rob
him, sometimes seriously injuring
him. An additional 300 police
now ride about the Bois on bicyc¬
les and keep a sharp lookout. But,
despite this »xtra vigilance, the
outrages continue. One day San¬
dow, walking in a rather remote
avenue of the Bois, suddenly re¬
alize that he was being followed.
Ho grasped the situation and ap¬
parently took no notice. As he
had expected, a signal called two
or three fellows from the shrub¬
bery. As they first approached
Sandow stooped down as if to tie
his boot lace, grasped the robber
by his ankle and used him as a
sort ; of cat-o’-nine-tails, lashing
his confreres, first one and then
the other, before they had a chance
even to think of escaping, staving
in the ribs of one, smashing the
arm of another, and leaving the
whole gang maimed and strewn
upon the ground. Then Sandow
leisurely went on and remarked to
the next policeman he met: “You
will find two or three men up
there more dead than aiive. You’d
better go and have a look at
them.”

Mosquitoes to Beat the Band.
Jersey mosquitoes are mean and
selfish musicians. They will brook
no rivalry, at one of the resorts,
at least. A few days ago a band
of women musicians was compell¬
ed to break its concert short off
before the card was half finished.
The women tried bravely to play,
but it was no use to keep up the
effort when it was necessary two
or three times a minute to drop
the fiddle or cornet to slap a mos¬
quito savagely biting an ankle.
The musicians had worn low-quar¬
tered shoes. They declare that
the next time they go to Jersey to
make music for the summer hotel
guests they will put on high-top¬
ped rubber boots.
Married 5 Years; Has 10 Children.
The Dothan Home Journal tells
as follows of a very prolific family
in Alabama: The stork recently
left.four handsome baby boys at
the nome of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Burnett at Dunlap, near Scotts-
boro. Mr. Burnett was until re-
cently the head miller at the
Jackson County Mills. The last
time the stork passed that way he
left three, and before that he left
tw'o, and the first time he left one.
He and his wife have been mar¬
ried five years and the stork has
left them ten babies.
The Williams Wasp remarks
“that times have changed, for
when the business man of fifty
years ago took his pen in hand he
always mentioned it, but now they
take their typewriter in their arms
they never mention it.”
KANSANS SEE A GHOST.
Eyes Balls of Fire and Limbs Strung With
Electric Lights.
The following dispatch is from
Parsons, Kan., and is dated July
21. The town is evidently flooded
with saloons or blind tigers. Lis¬
ten :
People living in the vicinity of
Maple Glenn farm, in Elm Grove
township,were treated to a strange
and unusual sight the other night,
one they will remember some time
perhaps, from the hair-raising ef¬
fect it seemed to have on those
who were not too scared to see it.
Miss MaeLortz, an eyewitness un¬
til she could get into the house,
states that the apparition appear¬
ed in the form of the ruler of the
infernal regions. Its eyes seemed
to be two huge balls of fire, its
wings o’r arms seemed to be bor¬
dered with a string ot incandes¬
cent lights, as were also its feet,
giving a lurid appearance, and it
danced around in a strange mys¬
terious manner, making it seem
even more strange.
When the family were thorough¬
ly aroused it whisked away in the
darkness as suddenly as it came,
leaving no explanation of from
whence it came or where it went.
Getting Rich.
“The w r ay to get rich,” says an
editor whose mind soars beyond
the brink of eternity, “is to trust
nobody, befriend none, get all
you can and save all you get; to
stint yourself and everything that
belongs to you. and to be the
friend of no man and have no
man for your friend; to heap
interest, cent upon cent, to be
mean, miserable and despised for
some twenty or thirty years and
Niches will come as sure as dis¬
ease, disappointment and death.
And when nearly enough wealth
is collected by a disrepard of all
charities of the human heart, and
at the expense of every enjoy¬
ment, death will finish the work—
the body is buried, the heirs dance
and fight over what you have left
and the spirit will go where? By
all means get rich, it will pay—
the devil.
The Ignorance of Women.
The ignorance of women in some
things is nothing short of awe-in-
spiring says the Kansas City
Journal. At Beloit a man went
swimming in the river and took
his wife along. As he deported
himself in the water she sat on
the bank and watched him. Down
in the river at the point where the
man was swimming was a flume,
leading to a dam, and under this
flume the man dived repeatedly.
At last he dived and did not come
up. His wife sat and watched
as the minutes went by until half
an hour had elapsed. Then a
erman came along and she casual¬
ly asked him how long a man
could stay under water. The fish¬
erman responded, “No more than
three minutes,” and at once the
woman cried out that her husband
must have drowned, and ran
help. In a few minutes the
band was taken out, but he was
dead.
The piles that annoy you so will
be quickly and permanently
if you use DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salves. Beware of worthless
terfeits.

HRS. KRUGER PASSES AWAY.
Wife of President of Boer Republic Died
Pneumonia at Pretoria.
Pretoria, July 21.—Mrs. Kruger,
wife of former President Kruger,
of the South African republic,
died yesterday of pneumonia after
an illness of three days. * She was
sixty-seven years old.
Mrs. Kruger’s long separation
from her husband, combined with
the death of her favorite daugh¬
ter, Mrs. Smith, last week, had
completely broken her spirit.
Mr. Eloff and many members
of the Kruger family were at her
bedside when she passed away.
London, July 22.—“Owing to
the Sunday telegraphic hours in
Holland,” says a dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Hilversum, “Mr.
Kruger was not informed of his
wife’s death until the evening.
The news was broken to him by
Dr. Heymans and Secretary Boes-
chof. Mr. Kruger, who had just
returned from Hilversum church,
burst into tears and asked to be
left alone.
“He exclaimed, ‘She was a good
wife. We quarreled only once,
and that was six months after we
were married.’ He prayed for a
long time and is now calmly
sleeping, his Bible beside his bed.
“The Transvaal and Orange
Free State flags flying above the
white villa were draped and half-
masted.”
Good Roads Question.
Many counties in the state are
waking up in this progressive era
by talking the good roads move¬
ment in the right spirit—inject¬
ing the issue into their campaigns-
Farmers have no idea how much
they pay for hauling their pro¬
duce. The railroads charge less
than half a cent per ton per mile
for hauling, and were they to
charge a cent a mile a protest
would go up from all parts of the
country against the robber rates;
yet many farmers pay fifty times
as much to have their products
hauled to the railroad because,
oftentimes, the roads are in bad
shape as in many parts of this
county. The average cost lias
been estimated at 25 cents per ton
per mile. With these figures it
can be seen that with a nominal
taxation the much dreaded mar¬
keting times with many fanners
can be remedied and roads new
almost impassable in wet seasons
can be put in fine shape.—Lump¬
kin Independent.
Hakes a Publisher Tired.
It is very apt to make the pub¬
lisher of a newspaper tired after
carrying a subscriber for two or
three years without seeing the col¬
or of his money to have him final¬
ly send along his cash, accompa¬
nied by a letter ordering his
name off the list simply because
he was asked to pay up. Instead
of appreciating the extension of
his credit for so long a period, he
is only too apt to consider himself
a much injured individual when
payment is suggested. What he
should do after holding back for
so long a time is not only to set¬
tle up, but, by way of returning
past favors, pay for a few years’
subscription in advance. That’s
what he should do, but does he do
it? Well, a man of good breeding
does.—Fourth Estate.

WOHAN TO SWin RAPIDS.
A Buffalo Dame Will Defy Death at Niagara
September 25.
A special from Niagara Fall,
dated July 21, says:
Cora Beckwith, a single woman
of Buffalo, declares in apparent
sincerity that she intends swim¬
ming the Whirlpool Rapids on
Wednesday, September 25.
“I expect to go through on my
back,” said she. “That is the
way I swam the rapids at Egg
Rock lighthouse in the harbor of
Lynn, Mass.”
She says that she is the only
woman who has swam across the
English channel. She made the
trip in company with the late
Capt. Webb, starting from Dover,
England, and landing at Calasis,
France, the distance being twenty-
one miles. Three nations are
said to have recognized her bravery
in rescuing people from drowning.
She is of fine physique and re¬
cently remained under water three
minutes and fifty-four seconds.
The current will carry a person
through the rapids to the whirl¬
pool in three minutes.
Had Hade an Assignment.
Every editor receives them.
The postmaster sends them to the
editor, but the postmaster is not
to blame. For instance tnere
was a man named Tim Shorty
who sent us three notices to stop
his paper, he did not want it any
longer. We wondered what was
the matter. Upon investigating
our subscription list we found
that Tim was short $2.50. He
had never paid a cent and yet as a
matter of economy to us he stop¬
ped his paper. A few evenings
ago we stepped into a church and
Tim’s melodious voice rang out
clear in that soul-stirring song
“Jesus Paid it All. »> He might
have been mistaken but his
earnestness impressed us. The
next day we sent him a receipt in
full, begging his pardon for not
knowing that he had made an as¬
signment of his liabilities to the
Lord.—Daytona News.
Prohibition Election in Clay.
Clay county will have a prohi¬
bition election on August 15, and
Editor Josh Jones, of the Senti¬
nel, explains his position on the
subject, in part: “We simply
desire the right to be guided by
our own convictions, and will be
so guided, feeling perfectly satis¬
fied that we are just as consistent,
just as honorable and just as good
as any man who sees fit to differ
with us, and presume that his po¬
sition only is necessarily right
just because it is his position.”
Though nearly half the claims
filed with the pension bureau on
account of disabilities incurred in
the Spanish-American war have
been rejected, there has been a
net increase of 4,805 names on the
pension roll in the past fiscal
year, and the expenditures have
increased to $188,581,494. Verily,
most any old sort of war is hell—
on the tax payer, say the Macon
Telegraph.
