Marcus -Roberts, porter at the West-

icott barber shop, is probably about the maddest man In the city of Richmond. He has lost his lady lore and a good tehare of his savings. It is rare infdeed that Dan Cupid perpetrates as mean a trck as the one Roberts was fthe victim of. Pretty Nina Emerson, the belle of 'the local colored colony, was engaged to Roberts, so he says, and the wed,ding was to have been held a few days Vago. Nina had been visiting friends ln Kentucky. In anticipation of the 'happy event Roberts had given her a ring, several dresses and other gifts. He had also engaged living rooms, paying a month's rent in advance, and at a boarding house he had paid the cost jof a month's board for himself and intended bride. The day before the wedding Nina Returned to the city and all the patrons of the barber shop wondered iwhy "Mark" was in such a good humor. "I'm i going to be married tomorrow," he informed them, and everybody wished him good luck. However, a few hours after the arrival of the bride-to-be she came to her lover and asked him for some money. Bhe said 6he had just received a telegram from Richmond, Ky., announcing the death of her sister and it would be necessary for her to leave at once. "Then we will get married today," said Marcus. Nina demurred. "Wait until I come home," she told him, and Marcus accepted her ruling and provided her with enough money to make the trip to Kentucky and return. Vitna tktiYi ttPA Inirn lof w 4 Vi rve came a telegram, C. O. D., informing Marcus that his bride-to-be had been the bride of Floyd Davis for over a week. In fact she had been a bride four days when she made the "touch" . off her discarded lover to make the trip to Kentucky. Roberts flew Into a great wrath at this news and on making an Investigation he learned that Nina had married Davis in Cincinnati. ' Roberts went at once to Cincinnati to tell Nina what he thought of her and incidentally, to "get his presents back." However, his mission was fruitless. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were not to be found. Roberts cays the end has not come. Half a Lifetime. More than a quarter of a century ago the makers adopted the policy of returning money to every woman who will buy two cakes of Easy Task soap for 10c and use them in her weekly washing, if the work is not easier, the clothes whiter and smell sweeter.

A perfectly formed foot should, according to anatomists, be as long as that bone In the forearm which ex tends from the elbow to the Joint of the wrist. This semes to be abnormally long In a tall person, bat Is the measurement taken by artists. Of course arms are sometimes out of proportion, being far too short for the general height, bnt It is rare that an arm Is too long for the stature of the person.

HOVEL FLOWER URN Woman Well Known Locally Has Invented Odd But Useful Device. WAS PROMPTED BY LOVE. The following dispatch from Lawrenceburg, Ind., refers to a woman well known in this city, where she has visited a number of times. Miss Carrie D. Jackson, 13G1 Chapel street, Cincinnati, who was born and reared in Dearborn county, Ind., Prompted by her love for her late departed brother, George W. Jackson and other members of her family now resting in the family lot In Greendale cemetery, at Lawrenceburg, desired to erect something new and beautiful to their memory. A happy idea came to her. She would have a large vase constructed, containing pots of flowers and set it in the center of a flower bed; within the vase there should be a tank of water, which by its own automatic force each day would water the flowers in the bed planted around the foot of the vase. Accordingly she went to work, em ployed a mechanic, superintended the construction herself, and in a few weeks her ideals were realized. The original vase may be seen in Greendale cemetery. The tank has a capacity of about one halt barrel of water and must be filled every two weeks. During the heat of the day the water 6lowly drips from the large tank into a smaller one. By evening the small tank is filled, and by its weight it closes the valves of the large tank and opens the valves below, thus allowing the water to flow from it and refresh the flowers during the cool hours of night. By morning the small tank is empty and the weights lift it into position again, the lower valves close, the upper ones open and the tank fills as on the previous day. When Miss Jackson completes the ornamental design of her vase and perfects the mechanism as she has planned, it will be a thing of beauty. PRINTERS' BLUNDERS. Comic Effects Frequent In the Days When Bad Copy Was the Rule. Typographical errors that produced weird or comical effects are described by the St. Louis Republic in an article recalling the days when all of that newspaper's type was set by band, before the introduction of typesetting machines, when the copy, Instead of being typewritten, was turned over to the printer in an Infinite variety of good, bad and indifferent chirography. Comparatively few of the errors were allowed to contribute to the gayety of the subscribers, as the majority were squelched in the "bouse of correction," as the proofroom was facetiously termed. From a collection made by a proofreader the following Instances of ridiculous misreading of copy are taken: "His blushing bride" was transformed into "bis blustering bride." A captain was said to have "served with destruction In the Confederate army," but the writer thought he wrote "distinction." Two pictures entitled "The Galley Slave" and "Each In Their Turn" were referred to as "The Galley I Love" and "Enoch In Shin Town." Having In mind the influence of former citizens of the land of the shamrock upon the political destinies of the town, what more natural than that the printer man should set up an "Irish district court" where It had been the "first district court?" Professor Frank Geeks was mentioned as having rendered "violent selections" rather than "violin selections." Somebody was quoted as saying that "all the singing folks on the vaudeville stage have hundreds of wives," but the copy, when carefully examined, was found to read "husbands or wives," and a sensation In the theatrical world was averted. "They sailed for three days around the cape and finally slaughtered a small Italian" was corrected to read "sighted a small Island." On one occasion the reporter wrote of certain "dwarfed and hungered children." who were made to appear perhaps more pathetic when the compositor substituted the words "doorfed and hagsard." "He takes delight in talking on his family 6hame" was a shameful thing to say about him, for favorite theme was meant "Red Cross Society Will Fight Corbett" was the way the typesetter transformed the copy concerning a crusade

CRICKETS STOP

RUSHVILLE SHOW Moving Picture Machine Cov ered With Insects. Rushville, Ind., Aug. 22. For sever al years crickets have paid Rushville an annual visit, playing a one-night engagement in large numbers and with a full chorus, but never before, in the memory of the "oldest inhabit ant," was there such a number of the chirping, hopping black insects as re ported last night x The sidewalks were literally cover ed, and many of the stores were obliged to close an hour earlier on account of the pest. One of the moving picture shows had to turn a crowd out of the building, being unable to ex hibit because the crickets climbed all over the motion-picture machine, be ing attracted by the strong light. The effect of the film was completely de stroyed. A BOON TO ELDERLY PEOPLE. Most elderly people have some kid ney or bladder disorder that is both painful and dangerous.

THEY RECEIVED NO BONDS ALTHOUGH THAT IS WHAT THE MONEY WAS ADVANCED FOR FRIENDS AMONG THOSE WHO SUFFERED MOST. Special Correspondence. Indianapolis, Aug. 22. The receivership action In the case of John R. Walsh's railroad properties in Indiana has unearthed a lot of victims of the one-time millionaire promoter. From all over the state have come announcements that this man or that man loaned money to Walsh during his troubles of two years ago, the agreement being that bonds were to be issued to them in return. These bonds were never received and the victims are getting together to take legal action thta will protect their interests. It seems that Walsh rushed to his friends when his financial difficulties engulfed him, and, as usual, he was able to make them believe that be would pull through all right. And it looked for a time as though he would. Their confidence In him kept them from pressing for the promised collateral, and matters ran along until now they find they are holding the bag. The filing of a suit by those creditors is expected soon. Faith In Oratory. "I suppose. Uncle. Jim. ywi remember a good.dteal about the politics of the -early da3s?" "Well.

VICTIMS

The state board of health bulletin for July says: Diarrhoea was reported as the most

prevalent disease followed by cholera morbus, dysentery, and cholera infantum. It was predicted in the bulletin of the preceding month that diarrhoea! diseases would lead the list in July. As soon as the people learn to take proper sanitary care of all foods including water, they will be much freer from diarrhoeal diseases. The other of disease prevalence in July was as follows: Diarrhoea, cholera morbus, dysentery, cholera infantum, tonsilitis, rheumatism, typhoid fever (enteric), bronchitis, intermittent and remittent fever, inflamation of bowels, whooping cough, scarlet fever, diptheria and membranous croup, measles, smallpox, typho-malaria fever, pleurltis, pneumonia, cerebro-spinal meningitis, influenza, erysipelas, puerperal fever and chickenpox. Smallpox 65 cases in 13 counties with no deaths. -In the corresponding month last year, 74 cases in 21 counties with no deaths. The disease existed unusually In Clark county, 10 cases; Marion, 28 and St. Joseph, 11. Tuberculosis This disease wrought its usual havoc, causing 339 deaths, 134 males and 205 females. Of the males, 26 were married in the age period of 18 to 40 and left 52 orphans under 12 years of age. Of the females 70 were married in the same age period and left 140 orphans under 12 years of age. This awful disease, therefore, put 96 young fathers and mothers in the grave and made 192 orphans. The monster, consumption, can be controlled when the health authorities are permitted to fight it Pneumonia caused 60 deaths, 35 males and 25 females. Twelve infants under one year of age died from pneumonia and one person over 90 years of age. In the corresponding month last year pneumonia caused 84 deaths. Typhoid fever 207 cases reported in 58 counties with 58 deaths. In the corresponding month last year, 312 cases in 64 counties with 53 deaths. The amount of typhoid fever a community has is a measure of its intelligence and cleanliness. Violence Violence caused 207 deaths, 159 males and 48 females. Of this numSer, 10 were murders, 7 males and 3 females. 26 were sui cides, 23 males and 3 females. 171 were accidents, 129 males and 42 females.

MONON IN FIGHT Believed This Road's Refusal To Place Danger Signs Is Forerunner. - ROADS DECIDE TO BALK. MAY MEAN ATTEMPT TO CARRY MATTERS INTO COURT AND COUNTERACT ALL POWER OF STATE COMMISSION. Special Correspondence. Indianapolis, Aug. 22. The action of the Monon railroad in flatly refusing to place danger signs at crossings on order of the state railroad commission is believed to be the beginning of a fight by railroads against the commission's orders when such orders are not backed up by law. There is no law compelling the railroads to place danger signals at crossings in this state, but the commission has always looked upon such precaution as a necessity and has tried to force the railroads to acL In some instances the order has been obeyed, but when it became apparent that the commission intended to compel the placing of danger signals generally throughout the state, the railroads decided to balk. The Monon is emphatic in Its refusal to obey the commission's order, and as it is backed by the other railroads it Is expected that there will be a sharp fight. Just how far the commission may go is not plain, as this particular order has no law behind it, but certain it is that Ihe legislature will be asked to -pass a law giving to the commission such powers as are necessary In cases of the kind. Mrs. Cralsie'a Habits' of Work. It had been Mrs. Craigle's habit for many years to begin her work at 8 o'clock in the morning, no matter how late she bad been up the night before. Off and on she wrote till 11:30, never being able to do more than half an hour's work at a time, a disability which makes the amount she produced the more amazing. Aftr luncheoneven after a luncheon at the Carlton she wrote again until it was time to pay calls and to talk at tea tables as idly as if she bad been idle all day, a feaf of unbending which few women and fewer men can perform. But after dinner she was always tired. "At night," she confessed, "I never by any chance do anything. I cannot even write a po3t card then." "August," the name of the month.
