C, Oct months past there have been rumors of a terrible apparition which has frightened all the women and chil dren in Clear Creek township. The women say that lor two weeks they have been subject to terrifying' visits, in the absence of their hus bands, fiom a creature like a shiny Dlack negress, .with long hair and gleaming eyes. She asks in hardly .distinguishable gibberish tor a baby to eat, and makes efforts to get hold ot the children. The men, getting tired of the fears of their wives, de termined to try to catch the creature, and for the last week crowds of far mers have been daily and nightly chasing her, without success. The first effort to catch her was made a week ago by; John Roberts, a black smith. Tne wiltl creature had ap peared several times at a fire which it was the habit of Cortey Moore, colored, of the neighborhood, to light after dark in the yard of. his house for the preperation of his meals. Roberts was put there to watch tor her and she appeared even before the flames were well kindled. She presented such a wild look in the halt light and asked tor ioou in such a wild fashion that Roberts was demoralized. lie recovered how ever, made an outcry and attempted to sieze the woman, but she slipped through his hands and disapparcd :n the dark shadows ot the woods. Tuesday morning Mannar Stephen Cawell caught sight ot the creature and chased her across an open field. He was badly hurt in his efforts to keep up with her, and reported that she outran a buck and cleared four corn rows at a leap. That same night she was again enticed from the gloom of the woods by the kindling of a fire and was chased by thirty men, without success. Capt. Marsh Allen later in the day met her in the neighborhood, with her face torn and bleeding and a long bloody knife in har hand. The creature was naked and so unearthly and terrible looking to him that he says he is not sure it is a human being. Her hair reached almost to her feet, but was kinky like that of the African. It is not mere fright that has caused the coun try nponle to organize in their at- "71 . 1 tempts to catch the creature wnicn has been living in the torests ana svvamos for a year or more. Some months ago, it is reported, an mianr. was soirited away from its parents yard while tney were m tnetunmciu and was never heard from, and the dis appearance was from that section ot the country in which the wild woman has been seen, and mothers, wnue and black, are in terror for fear their little ones may also become food for . i-.-. 1 the cannibal negress. xesieruiiy A Poker-Playing Millionair.e A millionaire in New York who dispenses princely hospitality, has a great liking tor Poker. One even ing while playing with a foreign Minister, the frame alonor at mia- , -, - a night all at once became exciting. The deal giving the millionaire the eight, nine and ten and jack of hearts. He discarded a spade and got the queen of hearts. The Min ister called for two card. He had already three kings, and in the draw got the fouith. Quietly the players began to bet. The pile amounted at last to $600,000, when the millionaire called his opponent. When the Minister laid down his four kings the banker put his straight flush beside them without a word. The Minister seemed a little sur prised, but merely said: "Very good the ; the money is youis." He had lost $300,000, but it did not sour him a bit. The game was not resumed, but he talked as pleasantly as it he had won a fortune instead of losing one. The banker seemed embarassed, and his friends who had dropped out ot the game, were uncomfortable. He decided on the spot that it would not do to hae any more poker-playing in his house. It might be said that he drew his friends there to fleece them. He still nlavs a little srame now and ' r ' then, but only at the Post- PA'.KLTS HAIR BUSID. 1 The Eest.

There were tour hundred men banded together tor the chase. At - first it was attempted to run her down with bloodhounds, bnt they re fused to chase her, which deepened the sunerstitious feeling with which the men as well as the women of the community began to regard her. The men then made the attempt to catch her, but without success. The excitement among the negroes and simple country folks is intense. By the more intelligent farmers from that section the theory is advanced that the creature is some half-witted woman, who has been so long hunted down that she lives in terror of all human beings, and therefore lives like an animal in the forest, her ne cessities having forced her to eat anything she can get, including even human rlesh. Here is an account ot an Ameri can invention, printed in the London Standard just the thing for girls who like dancing for dancing's sake The "irreproachable waltzer" is ; stmit frame of li?ht wood, ot about five feet in height, and remotely re sembling an old-fashioned kite frame. At the top of the frame is a padded "rest" for the lady's hand, and at about the middle 01 tne irame is a jointed arm, capable ot being placed around a young lady's waist and securely fastened in that position with a thumb screw. The frame has two feet, furnished with castors, each one of which has a universal joint, so that it can turn freely in any direction. The whole affair weighs only five pounds, and it is made to fold together, so that a lady can car ry it in her hand, either with or without a shawl strap.
