Thursday, Sep. 28,1905 Some Odd Matrimonial Combinations. About a year ago a man in Georgis named Black was married to a womai named Smith. They now have a littl< Blacksmith. They named him Anvil an( he bellows to beat the band. He i9 als< so bow-legged that the southern part o his anatomy resembles a horse shoe. Yoi may not believe this. "We can't help it i you don't. But the funniest thing w< have heard of lately was about a Mrs. Day She Uves up in Canada. Last month sh< gave birth to twins, one white and on< red and blue striped, and the doctors ar< puzzled to death. You just can't te) what a day will bring forth. Now, w< are reminded of a funny thing which hap pened up in Michigan. Miss Sadie Weei was married to Albert Day. Everybody was regretting the loss of time, but the editor of the local paper, who is somewhat of a poet, fixed things up as fol' ' A tTT .U _ 1^.4 *a w eea is J08i, V A Day is gained, But soon there'll be days enough To make the week again." In the good old State of Missouri lasl week a man named Strange married ? woman named Strange. Strange, isn't it! But the next thing will be a little stranger A farmer bearing the odd name Deesasture, living in Maine, has been marriec but three years, yet he is the father oi eight children. His wife gave birth tc triplets, then twins and again triplets How true Longfellow wrote when he penned, "So disasters come not singly.' After all, nothing beats the Kansas case where Miss Susana Cobb married Mr John Henry Shuck. It was out in the P country, a church wedding, and after the wpmnnv the organist struck ud. "What Shall the Harvest Be?" A fool kid in the audience, who realized the humor of the situation, yelled "Nubbins." Several years ago when we were living in little town out in Alabama a young lady named White married a fellow named Blue They have one child and it is red-headed, Now, to save our soul, we just couldn't pass that bunch without thinking of the fe * old flag of freedom.?Carolina Citizen. m si^ He Cured the Congregation. Grown people, as well as children, are Sometimes given to turning their heads to observe every late comer at church, a lec? ture, or any place of meeting. One should always remember, however, that this is bad manners, as bad as to be late and an} noy others. A good many years ago a, certain Methodist minister in Alabama was so disturbed by bad habits in his congregation that be cured both observers and observed in Uie IOUOWing maiiuci. One Sabbath, being especially disturbed at the beginning of his discourse bj the congregation turning to see the late arrivals, he said: "Brethren and sisters, don't bother to look around any more; I'll tell you who comes in." This he did, calling each name, much to the mortification of the tardy members, who thereupon mended their ways and removed the temptation that had assailed the early comers. Slightly Mixed. A young man went with his sister into a store last week and purchased a pair ol gloves for his sweetheart. The sister bought a pair of hose for herself. Of course, the packages got mixed. The explosion came when the sweetheart opened the package and found a pair of long, black stockings. She blushed. Then she opened the note and read the following tender lines: "I am sending you a little present. Oh, how I wish that no other hand would ever be permitted to touch them after von put them on. But, alas! a score of fellows may touch them when I'm not by your side, and other eyes may see them when you are on the streets or at parties. "I bought the longest pair I could find, and if they are too long, you can let them wrinkle down. A great many girls I know wear them slipped down a little. Always wear them at parties. I want to see how they fit when I call Tuesday night. You can clean them easily, dear, with benzine, if you leave them "on till they dry. I hope they are not too small. Blow in them before you put them on." The young man did call Tuesday night ' to see how they fitted but it is understood that he failed to win a home. ' ARE YOU ENGAGED? Engaged people should remember, that, after marriage, many quarrels can be avoided, by keeping their digestions in good condition with Electric Bitters. S, A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., says: "For years, my wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia, complicated with a torpid liver, until she lost her strength and vigor, and became a mere wreck of hei former self. Then she tried Electric Bitters, which helped her at once, and finally-made her entirely well. She is now strong and healthy."

Oakland, CaL, says a correspondent 1 writing from that place. The bravery > and woman's strategy shown by Mrs. f Lizzie Sieg, his stepsister, was mainly i responsible for the capture of the dee* f perate youth. After a parley Pollces man Oockerton, with drawn revolver, approached the man at bay and, rush HE WAS STANDING BEADY TO 8TBIKE WITH KNIFB DBAWN. - ing in upon him, overpowered him, . sent bis knife' clanging to the floor and effected one of the boldest captures recorded in police circles , this year. From me was booked at the police station and charged with burglary on a warrant sworn to by the woman he > ? had attacked. | Fromme, who is familiarly known as "Gussle," has a bad record, but Mrs. Sieg, with whom he had been staying, had no fear of the boy's vicious temper. Mrs. Sieg went out of her house to the garden. She locked the door after her. A neighbor called to her after she bad been in the garden at work ten minutes that a man had Just Jumped out the window, dashed through an alleyway and hidden in the basement of the boose. Mrs. Sleg 1 went to investigate, and In the basement, concealed beneath a wheel bari row which had been turned upside i down, she saw her stepbrother, August Fromme. As soon as the boy saw , that he had been discovered^ he drew a most murderous looking knife and cried: "If yorf take one step nearer I will kill you! Don't you dare to move toward mer And he made a step in advance, brandishing the knife to frighten her. ' Mrs. Sleg tried to reason with her ' stepbrother, but he would not listen. in the meantime she had given the ' alarm, and bravely standing her , ground when any minute might mean a horrible death she kept guard over the man cowering in the corner hke a | wolf at bay. Finally she quietly told ; a neighbor to run for a policeman. 1 She said loud' enough for Fromme to hear: "Oh, never mind! If you cannot find an officer let it go. I will wait nntil mv hnahnnd mmp* back, and i then we will have a talk t do not | want to see Gnssie arrested." This move threw Fromme off, and be thought he saw a loophole of es[ cape. By this time the news had spread throughout the neighborhood, and a mob had collected in the street 1 and around the house, but no one dared to approach the doorway lead ing to the cellar in which the brave little woman stood facing the temper of an angered man whose blood was ; boiling with murderous intent Policeman Cockerton had just reported on his afternoon beat He was found at the signal box and ran at once to the scene. He made straightway for ; the cellar and &led to Fromme to surrender. Fromme cried out: Til kill the whole lot of you, policeman or no policeman! Come on If yoa want to get yours!" Cockerton ^came on** and after trying strategy for over an boor gave It up and made a bold advance on the boy, who was very powerful and was standing ready to strike, wtth knife . drawn. The persuasion of a pistol lev, eled at bis bead* however, finally brought From me to Ids senses, and ..!?v. ' v. .s 9 after a" fierce sthiggie be was "finailj overpowered and handcuffed. Aftei Cockerton had effected the capture b< looked over the premises and -turned the youth over to two citixens, instruct ing them to guard the prisoner. N< sooner had Cockerton left the scen< than Fromnfe showed fight and agair made threats of murder. Cockertor came back, and Fromme, seeing thai all was up with him, calmly consented to being taken to the city prison. Mrs. Sieg said regarding the fracas "I was of coarse very much frighten ed, but I could not let Gassie escape as be had threatened to kill me.' H< has been an unruly boy from baby hood. When he was thirteen we hac him committed to the Whittier Reforn school. He escaped from there twice The last time I got him out on parole He had hardly been out a month be fore be robbed my father, Augusi Fromme, of money and a suit 01 ciotnes. we were uving in Ban rran ciseo at this time, and' when Gussi< was caugbthe had the clothes on him He was Bent back; to Whlttier and hai been out only a short tlmg.

He is a tailor. He never cam< back again until I found him in the cellar of my-bouse." From me, says Mrs. flieg, has severa times threatened the life of her fa ther and other members of the family and they are in constant dread of him The boy is remarkably good looking and has a very gentlemanly carriage He Is nineteen years of age. On his person were found $14.85, property o; Mrs. Sieg, a watch and chain belong ing to his stepfather and a purse con taining small change. Even when h? was placed In his cell he showed a sullen temper and reiterated his threats to kill as soon as he was free. GEJSE'RAL WAS / TOV.JV TO PIECES His Oitm Soldiers Fell X/por, Him When He 'Brutally Shot Dotvn a Corporal. A remarkable letter from a Russiar soldier In the Seventy-first (Bielavsky] regiment, stationed at Novo Alexan dria, province of Lublin, is reported tc havejbeen received ^at Odessa, says c correspondent from that place, relating how t^e eommander of the brigade Major General Remis, was literally torn to pieces by the regiment after he had brutally murdered a corporal. The general appeared before the regi ment and acknowledged that the Four teenth army corps, of which the regi ment is a part, had been ordered to the front. He added, however, that be could not accompany the corps to tin front . Then there were cries of "Scoun dreir and "CowardP' from the ranks "Approaching our company," dentin ues the writer, "where on the right flank stood the company commandei and a corporal, be pointed hisTevolvei at the latter and demanded, Tell mc immediately, yon reptile, who shouted among your men.' "The corporal replied that nobody Ii our company bad shouted. " 'You He, you dog!' "returned the gen eral, and fired. 'The corporal fell dead "Not satisfied with tills, the general >t,t. that remained op the general was shapeless flesh. aimed at him a second time and fired, but the bullet missed him, hitting, instead, the company commander, who also stumbled and fell on the spot It is impossible to comprehend what happened then. Like tigers the soldiers threw themselves upon him, and in less than a minute all that remained of the brilliant general was shapeless, mutilated flesh. "The commanders of the Seventyfirst and Seventy-second regiments called on the Cossacks, but when the latter fell upon the men die soldiers met them with a volley from nearly 1,000 rifles. When the dust had settled there were stretched on the ground about thirty Cossacks. The command or of the Seventy-second regiment was killed and our own commander was left wounded In the breast He was removed frog) tbe scene by an officer, as not a single soldier would stir from bis place." w ; 0833333338333333^ I Fire!
