MITCHELL IMPROVED However, He Is Unable' to Leave Hosptal. The condition of Alonzo Mitchell, of New Paris, who has been for the past week In the Ileid Memorial hospital suffering from a severe stroke of paralysis. Is much improved. Mr. Mitchell is now able to sit up for a few hours each day. Mr. Mitchell is well known in this city and in fact throughout the state. He was for many years a creameryman of note and is regarded as one of the best buttermakers in this part of the country.

There was a queer bet, one that seemed somewhat foolhardy, made by a politician a teir weeks before the election in 190(5, when It was apparent that McKinley would sweep the country. He had been approached by a man who offered to make a "majority" wager. "I'll tell you what I'll do," the politician replied. "I'll bet you $50 that I can write down the names of thirty states that McKinley will carry." The man snapped up the bet eagerly, and the politician wrote the list of names and gave them to a friend to keep, sealed, until the day after election. "Now," he said, "Just to show you how big a cinch McKinley has, I will bet you $500 that I can name ten additional states that he will carry." The man who took the first bet Jumped at the second chance, feeling cerlain Liiai iui tj bwics wuuih a Republican. When the election was over and the votes counted the envelopes were Openerf Tn t.htt list of thirty states the politician had named all the solid south and the doubtful states. He lost $50. But in the list of ten he named states that did not go Democratic In twenty years until the election of 1912. Louisville Time. LAID THE SPECTER. The Story of a Ghoat With a Troubled Conscience. The following well authenticated ghostly happening la recorded in Jessie Adelaide Middleton's "The Grey Ghost Book:" ' A lady had taken a furnished bouse in Suffolk, England, from a widow who had lately lost her son. One day she was sitting in the drawing room when the figure of a boy of about thirteen walked across the room, halted opposite a table on which was some china and began to weep bitterly. When she got up and hastened toward the boy to comfort him he at once vanished. As the same thing occurred repeatedly, the lady wrote to the owner of the house, seeking for some explanation. This was her answer: "Will you kindly search the table with the china ornaments on It, and if you find sixpence in any of them put it Into the poor bag in church? I gave him sixpence to put in the bag the last Sunday he went to church, and Instead of putting It in be kept it to spend. He told me about it before be diedt but I did not know where he had hidden it." The tenant searched. and found the sixpence in a little china jug. She put It into the poor bag and was never igaln visited by the apparition. "Paying Through the Nose." "Paying through the nose" is to be Indirectly swindled In a transaction or to pay an exorbitant rr-iee for a thing in consideration of long credit. A variant is "to be bored through the nose," "bored'' here having the meaning of cheated, deceived: At this Instant he bores me with some trick. "Henry VIII.," I. 1, 128. On that hath culled you, that hath bored you, air. "Life of T. Cromwell," 1602, II. li. 108. And Howell in his "Instruction For Forren Travell" (1050), page 59, "had known divers Dutch gentlemen grosly guld by this cheat (the selling of forged manuscripts to young travelers In Italy), and som English bor'd also through the nose this way by paying excessive prices for them."

To Renew Complexion Without Cosmetics (From The Dermatologist.) If the excessive user of cosmetics only knew the impression her artificiality really makes upon others, she would quickly seek means of gaining a natural complexion. Let her acquire the mercolized wax habit. Discarding make-ups entirely, and she will soon have the kind of a complexion that women envy and men admire. It's so easy to get an ounce of mercolljsed wax at any drug store, use nightly like cold cream and wash it off mornings. And the results are so remakafcle. Gradually the lifeless cuticle peels off, in almost invisible flaky brand new complexion, clear, velvety, soft, of girlish color and texture. The treatment Is so simple, harmless and marvelously effective, the wonder is that every woman whose skin is rough, withered, discolored, chapped, freckled or pimpled, has not already adopted it. Let - wrinkled women quit pastes and masage creams which mar the skin, still more and try this more sensible treatment: Dissolve one ounce powdered saxolite in one-half pint of witch hazel; use as a face bath. Every line will quickly disaooear.

King Menelik, known to his subjects as the King of Kings, was born in August, 13, 1834. He was declared to have been a direct descendant of King Soloman. King Menelik was an able statesman, a great warrior and held the love of all his subjects.

A. minstrels which will be given at the Gennett Tuesday evening of next week is for the benefit of the boy's summer camp, which will be held in Covington, Ohio, the last week in June and the first In July. This is one of the most interesting activities of the association and one which has been a great success. A fund is needed to finance the affair. Many boys are given the benefit of an outing through this Y. M. C. A. camp who would not have the opportunity any other way and much good is accomplished for the boys in both pleasure, health and discipline, says Herbert Pettijohn, boys' secretary.

The blossoms of this singular tree are the chief means of subsistence with the Bbils and other Indian hin tribes. An average tree yields from 200 to 350 pounds of pulpy, bell shaped flowers that, when they drop off during March and April, the hot months of the Indian year, are eagerly gathered by the natives. They have when fresh a peculiar and luscious taste, but the fragrance of them is not pleasant and is best and most briefly described as "mousy." Usuallf they are cured in the sun, shrivel to one-fourth of their size and then resemble nothing so much as raisins. The natives prepare them for food by boiling or using them in sweetmeats.

But the Spanish "batata," or sweet potato, from which the vegetable derives its name, was brought to Ireland many years before by Captain Hawkins from Santa Fe, in South America.

LOST BY AN EYELASrl. ii When James R. Keene Laid For Him a Big Bet on Besom. Although James R. Keene was known as the nerviest of Wall street operators, he was anything but a betting man on the race tracks. He dearly loved to win valuable stakes, and iie won nearly everything in this line except the classic English Derby. His horses rarely carried anything but an infinitesimal wager. Big wagers were few and far between with him. One day when his Ben Brush colt Besom was making his racing debut at Sbeepshead Mr. Keene visited the paddock in company with his trainer, Jimmy Rowe. and Inspected the colt minutely. Keene was very fond of Noonday, the colt's dam, ami he talked proudly of his expectations of Besom. The colt had worked exceptionally fast, and the race looked as sure as sure things can be regarded on a race track. The result of the conference with Rowe was that Mr. Keene decided to make one of his rare large bets on Besom to win. The news of the Keene wager created almost a sensation in the ring, and the price against the colt went tumbling. The race was run, and Besom lost by an eyelash. He went out with Berry Maid, and the two raced stride for stride like a team. When it was Besom's turn to stride his nose showed in front, ani when it was Berry Maid's turn she showed a scant advantage. So it was all the way. Mr. Keene wafchlng the contest through bis fieldglasses without a murmur. The crowd was on its toes. As they passed the judges it was Berry Maid's turn to stride. Then the apple of Mr. Keene's eye at the time lost the verdict, and the vice chairman of the Jockey club lost one of his few wagers on the turf. New York World. RKIATISM DR.

And Say, "I Don't Like You" As the Children Do and Play the Game Honestly and Not Hypocritically For Dislikes Are Strange and Inexplicable.

age where they find It policy to con ceal and evade, have none of this. And as unpleasant as it makes them at times, it constitutes their chief charm. There is no cruelty like the cruelty of children. They make the clean, bald, undraped expose. Put a mature person up before a roomful of children of a certain age, and they will divine in an instant the sham or the little pecadillo. Something the mature person thinks nobody knows .or sees. He is horrified by the Infantile acumen. And humiliated far beyond any humiliation which results from the action of those of his own contemporary ilk. Children have been known to actually run an Instructor out of his position. Their divination of some personal peculiarity and their accentuation of it through a series of ridiculing torj ments have been too much for the ma- ; ture individual. j It is a sort of Infantile second sight ; as curious as it Is unexplained, I it recedes and dies as years advance. But its presence is known and dreaded by all those who deal with children either singly or in the aggregate. Their likes and dislikes are frankly expressed. How nice It would be If the grownup could be as frank when he feels ' like it To say "I don't like you." To be able to turn down the bore, to shake off the parasite, kick the flunky, flout the toady, snub the impudent, give the smirking hypocrite the icy heart and hand out large cold ones to the uncou in general. It's an odd thing this liking or not liking. For your life you can't tell, sometimes, why you don't like an individual. You admit all their conspicious virtues. You acknowledge they are good cltl-

do not possess life that it passet through us is more obsessing as th years pass. Time and again this column has quoted Lafcadio Hearn "there is nothing so ghostly as ourselves. For one day we are here. The next day we are not. We vanish, disappear, are forever lost to the human ken. We literally go back to the elements from which we sprang. We become part of that stuff of the universe of which the earth, the sky, the water, the stars are a part. Nothing matters. It is strange that the world. Individuals, continue to conduct themselves as though it did. We bother about who Is who, what is what, whether we gain or lose, whether we possess or dispossess, rule or are ruled. It is all vanity, as we all know. When you stand by an open grave it overwhelms you. When you are haunted with memories you are crushed beneath its knowledge. Stand back and view the passing show.
