His real name was Hen- Bennett, and he rose froin the estate of a tattered mining prospector, worth less than |300 altogether, to thtf Possession of f150,000 In a few months. For seventeen years he had searched tor mines in Arizona and New Mexico. He had lived among the Navajo and Moki Indians, and had subsisted on the most primitive fare for weeks at a time. In the course of his wanderings ne located a ledge of sulphurets, that w, a combination of gold and silver ores mixed with base metal—that was In the summer of 1877. The Apaches were particularly hostile to white men that season, and Bennett got out of Cochise county before he had a chance to do much work on his claim. Later that season Ed Schoeffelln and Rich ard Gird located the famous gold and silver mines of Tombstone, about a mile away from where Bennett had built up the piles of stone to mark the corners of his mine. When the stem pede began to Tombstone, Bennett was one of the first ones on the scene. He set about developing his own mine, the Boston, and by pick and shovel he soon laid bare enough of his ledge to show that he had a fairly good mine. Tombstone was growing at the rate of 1,000 inhabitants a month, and the people were mine crazy. In a few "weeks he sold to George Hearst for 9160,000 cash down. It was practically the only money Bennett had ever had, and he was be side himself with Joy. He went to El Paso, Texas, and put his money in a bank. Then he began to wonder how he was going to have the fun he had planned during all his long years of prospecting and hardship. It was days Tallest of All Living /Wen. The biggest living man is Lewis Wil kins, who is now arousing great inter est in the scientific circles of Europe. Wilkins was born on a farm near St. Paul, Minn., in 1874. When he was but 10 years of age he measured 6 feet in height, and now has grown to the tre mendous height of 107% inches—just three-quarters of an inch less than 9 feet—^and weighs 364 pounds. There have been other tall men and women before Wilkins, and scientists have •striven in vain to account for these freaks of nature. Only lately a plaus ible story has been put forward by a French physician, Dr. Marie, who' says that gigantism is nothing more or less than a disease. This disease generally occurs in patients between the age of 18 and 35, and is first called "acro megaly" (from two Greek words meanT Ing "enlargement of the extremities.") If the patient, is not attacked until af ter he is 18 the ends of the boneB in the arms and legs are enlarged and prolonged slightly, but If this disease The Abyssinian is pretentious and domineering to his inferiors, yet cringing and obsequious to'his super iors.

He went into the bank a half dozen times the first week to make iftur«t that, his money was there and was awaiting his order. He knew a poor Mexican woman in Paso del Norte, Mexico, whom he had long ad mired, and he went across the Rio Grande and married her. $• Bennett Starts in to Spend* Some one told Bennett that he was a fool hot to hurry up and enjoy his money, and he started in to spend it Bennett and his bride went to Den ver and San Francisco and exchanged their, cheap old clothes for the finest that money could buy. They kept tail ors and dressmakers busy for weeks. He bought eleven hats and a trunkful of shoes for himself in San Francisco, and he told the dry goods merchants to give his wife two dozen of the finest dresses to be had. The couple had one room of the suite they lived in at the Baldwin Hotel filled with trunks and boxes of their newly bought finery. In one day Bennett bought some $8,000 worth of diamonds for himself and wife, and they gave tips -of $5 and $10 for the simplest service to the hotel servants. Tiring of San Francisco, Bennett and his wife went down to Tombstone, determined to show the population that they knew how to lead fashion in the mining camp. They went to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras celebration in 1881, and seven trunks of clothing went, too. The couple lived in the most costly suite at the St. Charles hotel. Gn that trip Mrs. Bennett saw opera glasses for the first time. When the couple returned to the mining camp each had an opera glass of solid gold, and they seldom drove out behind their well known team of white stallions that each did not carry a gold opera glass and occasionally survey the country through it. On that trip, also, Bennett and his wife learned that some rich people bathed in perfumed water. They, therefore, bought scores of bot tles of the finest Parisian perfumes, and neither ever bathed without pour ing a liberal quantity of perfume into the water. That was about the beginning of the end. When his last dollar was gone, Bennett ended his life with a bullet. European Scien tists Are Interested in a ?.

When you see a big man it is therefore a question whether he is unusually strong or whether he is suffering from acromegaly. All giants have not been acromegalic, ac cording to Dr. Marie. .He mentions two giants in the French army who did not belong to this blass.. One was ChArles Freuet, a cavalry soldier, who was 6 feet 11 inches, and another was Marnat, a drum major "in the Nhietieth regiment infantry, who measured 6 feet 9 inches. Perhaps the greatest giant who ever lived before Wilkins was Charles Byrne, an Irishman. He measured 9 feet 2 inches. His skeleton is still preserved, proving beyond ques tion his enormous size. He was prob ably acromegalic. Other giants are Constantine, born at Zurich, in Switz erland, 8 feet 1 inch Herold, born at Leipsic, 7 feet 5 inches, and Lady Em ma. 8 feet 1 inch. 4 like), but narrowing to a sharp point It is worn on the right side, and thus, when mounting a mule or horse, he always does so on the right, or off side.

HEALTHY WOMEN. Mary J. Kennedy, manager of Ar mour & Co.'s Exhibit at the Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha, Neb., writes the following of Peruna, as a cure for that common phase of bummer ca tarrh. known as indigestion. Miss Kennedy says: "I found the in a 1 change of diet incidental to eight years' traveling com pletely upset my digestive system. Iu con sulting several phvsieiansthey decided I suf fered with ca tarrh of the stomach. "Their pre scriptions did not seem to help me any, so, reading of the remarkable cureB effected by the use of Peruna I decid ed totry it and soon found my self well repaid. "I have now used Peruna for about three months and feel completely re luvenated. I believe 1 am permanent ly cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted praise to your great remedy, Peruna." The causes of summer catarrh are first, chronic catarrh second, derange ments of the stomach and liver third, impure blood. buch being the case anyone who knows, anything whatever about the operations of Peruna can understand why this remedy is a permanent cure for summer catarrh. It eradicates chronic catarrh from the system, invig orates the stomach and liver, cleanses the blood of all impurities, and there fore permanently cures by removing the cause—a host of maladies peculiar to hot weather. The cause being removed the symptoms disappear of themselves. "Summer Catarrh" sent free to any •ddress by The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio.

It was all about the im provement of a highway. The count ess got so an^ry that she cut down some beautiful trees which the towns people wanted preserved. While the contending forces of the castle and the town were refusing stubbornly to re treat, there came the news of tiie relief of Ladysmitli ,:uul the story of Dun donald's entrance into the beleaguered city. The town and the castle at once began to rejoice ,and to forgive each other. The town went wild with en thusiasm over Lord Dundonald, and the countess made a gift to the town of all the land the townspeople desired for the improvement of the highway. To Lord Dundonald was cabled the news of the ending of the Abergele war, and in return he requested that the improved highway be named Lady smith avenue. This was done, and now the castle and the town, which have been saying all manner of harrt things about each other for the last, few months, have called off their law yers and .are complimenting each oth er at a great rate. Thus was the relief of aLdysmith and Abergle effected at one and the same time by the valor of Lord Dundonald.—New York Press. UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME, Notre Dame, Ind.

Provoked at the interruption, Mark went to the tel ephone, and, after "helloing" for some time without an answer, he used some language not generally seen in print, but which was certainly picturesque. While thus, engaged he heard an an swer, in astonished tones, and recog nized the voice of an eminent divine whom he knew very well. "Is that you, doctor?" questioned Mr. Clemens.

Justice Laughlin, In Supreme Court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent Injunc tion, with costs, and a full accounting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declared, in the decision of the Court, an imitation and infringement of "Foot Ease," the powder to shake into your shoes for tired, aching feet, now so large ly advertised and sold all over the coun try. Allen S. Olmsted, of Le Roy, N. T., is the owner of the trade-mark "Foot Kase," and he is the first individual who ever advertised a foot powder extensively over the country. He will send a sam ple Free to any one who writes him for It. The decision in this case upholds his trade-mark and renders all parties liable who fraudulently attempt to prof it by the extensive "Foot-Ease" adver tising, in placing upon the market a spurious and similar appearing prepara tion, labeled and put up in envelopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade mark and common law rights. Information While You Walt. Mr. I. N.
