A dispatch from Florence says:
Florence '.vas treated to a rich and
novel sensation Wednesday, a young
woman dressed in man's clothes, Seeing
from a pursuing crowd of men
and children, jumping fences with the
agility of an acrobat, and finally run
down and sent to where offences apparently
began. Nobody knows the
woman, or if they do know her they
will not tell. She is about twenty
years of age and is supposed to be a
Mrs. Whitney of Whinney, as the telegram
read, said to be the wife of
an engineer in Wilmington, or byothers
who claim to know, a well
known woman of the demi-monde of
that town. She had been passing
worthless checks. Her plan was to
take a check to a furniture store, buyhalf
or two-thirds its value and get
the rest in cash. She got off the train
at Winona yesterday morning, got a
car to Florence, went in at the front
door of a leading boarding house and
out the back, got another car and
went to Lake City, giving the driver
the slip there, also it is said, and was
finally arrested by the chief of police
of that town on order from the
sheriff here. She was brought to
Florence and delivered to the jailer,
but as she w-as so ladylike in her appearance
Mr. and Mrs. Bryant gave up
one of their rooms in the jail to her.

night on the piazza of the jail watching
the exit to the room. At dawn
she &ot him to call Lake City for her
on the long distance phone, and talked
of breakfast and returning to Wilmington
without trouble, but when
Mr. Bryant went to answer the phone
from Lake City, she dressed in the
jailer's Sunday suit, hat and necktie
and slipped out of the door and jumped
the high fence in the back of the
jail and made her way to Palmetto
street, where she stopped some negro
cooks going to service and asked
for a car. While talking with these
Mr. J. E. Justice suspected something
wrong and saw that it was a
woman dressed in men's clothes, and
he arrested her, but she broke from
him and fled. He thought he had a
German spy and started in pursuit.
She leaped over a fence that was one
rail too high for Mr. Justice, but the
pursuit was taken up by others on the
other side, and after bogging through
recently drowned gardens and flying
lik? a bird over fences and around J
corners, she was taken, inglorious!}"
taken, and then, like men, everyone
who had caught her wanted to help
her run away some more and not
catch her, or. catching her, keep her
away from the hojrid sheriff, for she
was young and pretty, but the sheriff
was right there in the crowd, and he
is a mighty soft hearted sheriff, but
he does his duty, ana his duty was to
take her back to the jail and he did
so, where she was again properly attired
and sent to Wilmington on the
morning train.
Discovered!
The kindly old squire was giving a
little treat to the village school children.
After tea he stepped on to the
\ platform and announced, with a
beaming smile:
"Now I am going tc perform certain
actions and you must guess what
proverb they represent. The boy
or girl who succeeds first will receive
a quarter."
That did it. Instantly every eye
was fixed on him.
First of all, the old gentleman lavdown
on the platform. Then one
. man came forward and tried in vain
to lift him. Two others came to his
aid. and between them they raised
the squire, who was rather portly.
The actions were meant to represent
the motto "Union is strength."
When they had finished, the squire
stepped forward ana asked if any
child had solved the puzzle.
At once a grubby hand shot up and
an eager voice squeaked:

An old soldier who nad lost one of
his legs in the war once said to a
younger man; "Well, there is one
advantage in having a wooden leg."
"What is it?'' asked the other.

.Vy attention has been called to an
article in the issue of the Enquirer
of April 27th relative to the prophecy
of Isaiah 13:5. in which it is attempted
to show that he number "six
hundred three score and six" expressed
in this prophecy indicates the
name "kaiser."
I have solved this part of the problem
and find how the figures may be
made, by mathematical arrangement, '
to indicate any name one may desire.
Let us try the name "Edison." "Wilson"
would do just as well, but the

tion (two-thirds) and is not so suggestive.
It is a little hard to nnd
the name that will fit in with the use I
of only whole numbers, but ' Edison"
hits it well.
Here it is: A-ll, 3-21. C-31.
D-41, E-51, F-61, G-71, H-Sl. etc.
E 51
D 41
I 91

666
Here is the solution: First decide
on the name you want the number:1
"666" to spell, then proceed as fol-j
lows:
(1)?"Kaiser:" (Order of alpha-!
bet) |,
K 17 ^

E 5
R 18
63
But we want this total to be "666," [
so we divide 666 by 63, getting the;
quotient 10 and the remainder 36. j
Now, there are six letters in the word!
"kaiser," so we divide the remainder;
36 by 6 and we get 6. Now, multi-i
ply each letter number by 10 and add!
6: K-116, A-16, 1-96, and so on, mak-j
ing the sum 666. A becomes 16 and!
the common difference 10.
(2)?"Edison"?the regular letter- .
numbers are: 5, 4, 9, 19, 15, 14, and;
the sum of these niimoers is 66. Di-:
viding 666 by 66, we have 10 and the,
remainder 6. Dividing 6 by 6. the;
number of letters in "Edison," wej
get "1." Multiply eacn letter-number!
by 10 and adding one, we obtain the!
required values to make the total j
"666." A-l 1: C. D.-10.
(3) "Wilson."?Treated in the'
same way, we find the sum of the!
natural letter-numbers to be 92 and'1
by dividing we get 7 with the re-f
mainder 22, which divided by 6. gives!1
3 and two-thirds. Multiply by 7 and !'
add 3 and two-thirds. A?10 and:

WHAT IS
LAX-FOS
LAX-FOS IS AN IMPROVED CASCARA
A Digestive Laxative
CATHARTIC AND LIVER TONIC
Lax-Fos is not a Secret or Patent Med!- A
cine but, is composed of the following m
old-fashioned roots and herbs: ^
UASCAHA BAHK
BLUE FLAG ROOT
RHUBARB ROOT S
BLACK ROOT
WAY APPLE ROOT
SENNA LEAVES
AND PEPSIN ' ;
In Lax-Fos the Cascara is improved by
the addition of these digestive ingrecB*
ents making it better than ordinary GAScara
. and thus the combination acts not
only as a stimulating laxative and cathartic
but also as a digestive and liver tonic.
Syrup laxatives are weak, but Lax-Fos
combines strength with palatable, aromatic
taste and does not gripe or disturb
the stomach. One bottle will prove
