be cold early, there is not a bird left

here some twenty years since, was of
itself sufficient evidence of his relation-

ports his father as becoming rapidly

Mrs. Daniel O’Brien, of Westport,
was found early yesterday morning,_by
her husband, lying in a pool of blood
beside her bed. There was a large,
deep gash back of the ear from which
the blood was oozing. The husband
immediately called Dr. L. T‘ Day.
Dr. Day found that the woman, who
is 70 years old, was near death. Be-
sides the wound mentioned the phy-
sician found that Mrs. O’Brien’s tongue
had‘been nearly severed near the root.
Her face was battered almost out of
shape, and she showed other signs of
brutal treatment. She was unconscious
when Dr. Day saw her.
Deputy Sheriff Keinper was notified
by Dr. Day. The sheriff investigated
the matter immediately, but so far has
not found anything startling. The
husband expresses total ignorance of
the affair. He says that he did not
hear any noise during the night and
was unaware of the fact that his wife
was injured until he started to call her
this morning and foundher in that con-
dition.
The couple are noted in the town for
their many eccentricities. It is sup-
posed that they have amassed some lit-
tle money. This may supply a motive
for the crime, if there has been any on
the part of the intended robbers. The
story told by the husband seems to be
straightforward and to be relied upon.
The case is certainly mysterious.
As we go to press word is received
from VVestport that Mrs. O’Brien is
still unconscious and that no clues as
to how she came by her injuries have
been discovered.

Women in Maryland are permitted
to wear men’s apparel. In a test case
in Baltimore the authorities decided
that there is no law that forbids the
wearing of men’s garments by women,
provided no offense is committed
against public modesty. In one state,
therefore, women have the right of
free and unlimited trousers, cutaways
and bell-crowned hats without asking
the aid or consent of anybody.
When a child swallows a large arti-
cle in these times the X ray is called
in,, and if the object is located in the
stomach it is usually recovered without
difficulty or danger. A 3-year-old girl

mother’s chain bracelet, set with dia-
monds and rubies, and the X ray fol-
lowed its alimentary journey with
ease.
One of the women who married that
Chicago bigamist says he yawned and

the matters of wives there are others.
People generally are looking forward

it comes, will not take that romantic
form. While many ingenious minds

FLIRTING WITH THE FAN.
Spanish Girls Can Talk Effectively
This Bauble.
“It is really very amusing in this
matter-of—fact day and generation, to
see a Spanish woman flirt with her
fan,” a bright, chatty woman just
home after a winter in Spain is re-
ported by the New York Commercial
Advertiser to have said. “Spanish wo-
men are not very brilliant as far as
wit' or conversation goes, but give
senorita a fan and the use of her eyes
and she can capture and hold a lover
over whom the most brilliant repartee
and the most charming chatter could
have no influence at all. The young
Spanish girls of good society are of
course rigorously duennaed and guard-
ed, but balconies and opera boxes are
where their flirtatious are carried on.
I have seen at the theater a young
Spanish beauty seated between two
duennas openly coquet with her fan, in
response to the languishing glances of
a lover in some other part of the
house. For example, when the lady
draws it through her hand, Don Juan
may go home or repair to fresh pas-
tures, for he has been told as unmis-
takably as possible that he is cordially
detested, that an irrevocable ‘No’ will
meet all his proposals, and, what is
worse for his suit, there is no ‘Yes-
ness’ in the ‘No.’ When the lady
twirls her fan in the left hand Don
Juan may take courage, but for the
time being he had better go, to 're-
turn at a more convenient Opportunity,
for the signal means that he and his
inamorata are being watched. There
is only one other signal that need de-
tain him. When, after having told
him that they are being watched, the
Spanish girl opens her fan very osten-
tatiously and very wide, nothing must
induce Don Juan to leave the spot. He
must not follow her, for the signal
means,, ‘Wait for me‘ where you
stand.’ ” '
SOT $2,000 FOR DRIVING HIS WAGON
And “’11s Taught That Work Combined
\Vith Good Sense Brought Its Reward.
A few years ago a wellcto-do but ex-
travagant farmer living out on the
Russell Cave pike, went to Mr. Hart
Boswell, and asked him to see his
brother Dave of the Northern Bank
and tell him that he wanted to borrow
$2,000, and tell him that it would be
all 0. K., &c. Mr. B. told him that
he would not do it, but gave him the
following tip: “I see you or your wife
calling negroes out of the field two or
three times a day to hitch your rigs up
to go to Lexington,and I see you stop
hands from their field work to drive a
load of corn to market. You stop all
this foolishness and drive the wagon
of corn yourself, then go to the bank
and ask for what you want.” The
man went according to directions, and
after he had sold his corn he went to
the bank and asked for the $2,000. Mr.
R. T. Anderson, one of the directors
was present and without asking any
questions, said: “Any man who drives
his own wagon can borrow all the
money he wants at the Northern bank.”
‘i‘his little transaction changed this
man‘s condition in life, and he was no
longpr a money borrower.-—Lexington

Saved. Her List of Books.
A Boston paper tells a story of a
Smith College girl who was awakened
in her summer home by the cry,
“Fire! Fire!” Cool and collected, she
donned her clothes, and then thought:
“Now, what do I value the most?” Af~
'ter mature reflection she took a list of
books from her writing desk and left
the house. “I am so glad I saved it,”
she said afterward to a. sympathizing
friend, “for n I had lost it I could not
tell what books I read last year.”
HOW A BOOK Is PUBLISHED.
2,000 Copies Begun Mbnday and Com-
pleted Wednesday.
A large book bindery may have a.
capacity of 10.000 books a day. The
resources of some of these binderies
are wonderful. There is an instance
on record where a publishing house
took an order on Monday for a cloth-
covered 12mo volume of 350 pages and
actually shipped 2,000 copies of the
book on the following Wednesday. The
type was set by machinery for the
entire 350 pages before work stOpped
Monday night. Electrotype plates were
made so— rapidly that on Tuesday
morning several printing presses were
set in motion. In the meantime cov-
ers were made in the bindery, and by
Wednesday morning the binders had
the book in hand. Two thousand vol-
umes were completed that day, and the
edition of 10,000 was entirely out of
the way before Saturday night. In
modern book-iinding machinery, as
in the production of printing presses,
America leads the world, and no other
nation can equal it" in the speed. and
general effectiveness with‘which all
branches of the industry are carried
out.—St. Louis Globe Democrat.
She Ably P’Srried'the ”Question.
A lady who is a city missionary be-
came much interested in a poor but
apparently respectable Irish family
named Curran. living on the top floor
of a great tenement house in the slum
district.
Every time she visited the Currans
the missionary was annoyed by the
.taring and the whispering of the other
women living in the building. One
day she said to Mrs. Curran:
“Your neighbors seem to be very
..r.rious to know who and what I am
3nd the nature of my business with
:ou.”
"They do.” acquiesced Mrs. Curran.
“Do they ask you about it?”
"Indade they do, ma’am.”
“And do you tell'them?”
“Faith, thin, an’ Oi do not."
"What do you tell them?”
“Oi just tell thim you are me dress- _
maker, a:.' let it go at that.”—Harper’s
Bazai‘.
Res'rletts on- ltildi'soff'avenue, New
York, complained last winter that
odors of gas and sewage leaked into .
the cellars of their houses, and an in-
spector of the Board, who was detailed
to investigate, has just reported. He
finds that the street is underlaid by
sewers, water pipes, an electric sub-
way, steam-heating pipes and three
lines of gas pipes; that some or all of
these conduits leak, and that the as-
phalt covering of the street prevents
the contents from making their way
to the surface; consequently they fol-
low along underground until they find
an exit in the cellars.
At the recent State Teachers" Con-
vention in New York the majority of
the addresses referred to the welfare
of children under modern conditions.
The drift of debate showed much
broader views than were formerly en-
tertained. President Hunter, of the
Normal College, declared that “Play is
the inalienable right of the child, and
whosoever deprives him of this right
commits an act of robbery, and all the
worse because perpetrated against the
weak and helpless." The sentiment
was received with decided approval,
though it would have been considered
quite radical or erratic a few years
