“Hard, bard. Indeed, It ibe contest
for freedom sod tits struggle for liber
ty.” “Ttiero la no reat for llie wick
ed.” TbU world la all a fleeting show
sod Jordan is a hard road lo travel,
I believe I There are oilier ejaaula
lioaa I might utter, for of late l lie re
has been trouble on Iba old man’s
roiod. You see, I was Invited over
here lo talk to these people In a hu
morous and philosophic way and my
wire said aa tne larder was gal ling tow
and tbe girls needed some mare winter
elotbee, and tbe tax man was bobbing
around and tbe grandchildren would
be expect tag something for Christmas,
she thought 1 had better go. 8u she
packed my valise with my li/al clothe*
and fortified roe with a llllla drug
•tore of camphorated oil nod flannel
and llyar medicine and paregoric and
cough drop* sod quinine and bead
ache powders, and so forth and to on.
We kissed good by all round nod 1 de
parted feeling like I wai being driven
off from home by sad nteeselty. I
took the Seaboard Air Line at Atlanta
bound for tiburloite, via Monro*, out
our engine broke down at (ireensborn
about dark and delayed ua threw long,
dreary hours, and when we reached
Monroe It wae away after midnight
and tbe Charlotte train bad gone.
TUora were three nloe ladies aboard
and several gentlemen, who were
grcutly disappointed, but the conduc
lor waa kind and sympathetic and said
there was a circus train nearby that
was going to Charlotte right away sod
if we didn’t mind rid log thirty mile*
in w nab, he would get ua tbe privilege.
Tbe ladles said yea, and we did, too,
and see climbed in. It was a* dark aa
Erebus. We felt our way to find scats
hut there was nothing but same long
tool boxes whose lids were hard and
Cold. There was no Ore and tbe wind
blew through a broken glass nn tbe
luck of my head. Tbe India* chatted
away merrily, fur they were going
home, but I wasn't and 1 couldn’t obat
lo save my life, for I waa very tired
and thought of that good, soft bed at
home. Ilf and by the conductor came
in with a lantern and took up our
tlcxeta and left ua Iu the dark again.
About that time llie animals got rest
less and the lion gave an aueartblf
lrowl. Yon see this wu a menagerie
tralo.
"Tbe animals went lo two by two,
Tb* elephant aod lb* kangaroo.”
and every time the car* careened about
or swung around a curve we oould
hear some devilish noise ahead of ua.
•■Oh, mercy,” mid tbe youngest girl,
"liippona they break out I” “ltrey will
will eat tbe sweeten and leodereat
first," said 1. “Lion* always do.” I
palled my elosk up uv*r tbe back of
my bead and rnmloated. For two
long hours we Jogged along, for tb*
train was running alow to salt tbe
wild beasts and w* were of no con
Mqueooe. It waa near 8 o’clock when
we got to Iba suburbs of Chariot to and
stopped. Nobody ysi looking for ua
- -nobody rushed forward to meet ut,
no Hackman—no omnibus or street car*
not even a wagon or an ox cart or a
darkey. Tbe moon bad hid herself to
keep from seeing our mltery, but w*
setred our gripe and wrap* aud satch
el* and mads a march for the electric
lights. My companions scoo separated
from me and I marohed In single die
with my big vallee full of elotbee and
iuo urog More, ana straggiea lor three
quarter* of a mile up tba long and hard
sidewalk. I am not naed to sro llghta,
and tba flickering shadow of every tree
and telegraph pots looked Ilk* a man
In amboeh who was Using to hold me
up. I bad forgotten where the hotel*
were, aod oooonsclonsly pa*aed them,
for tba doors were all shut, and there
waa no sign, lly and by I mat a pollae
mao and be oond acted me back to tba
hotel, and I was a* thankful as I was
tired and bn mUu. My pitiful tone of
volo* secured ate kind attention aod a
bed. Whan a mao Is far away from
home, bit warmest weloome la an l.m.
But I did not rest wall. A 10 o'eloek
supper, on fried tsusuge and scrambled
egg* aod stale oysters, disturbed my
corporeally uud 1 dreamed that tba
tiger got looea and came prowling and
bowling around the ear and aomebow
I got a hatchet out of tbe tool box und
lifted tbe youag lady through tbe port
bole upon the roof, and volunteered to
defend bar wltb my llfeacd tay scared
honor. The tiger mad* desperate leap*
to get np there, but every time be got
a paw on tho eve, I cut It off and let
him fall baok again, f don’t know
what became of lire other ladles, bat
Iblok that other wild beasts got la
aod at# them up. The men trad all
fled prematurely, but I saved the pret
ty girt Urn sweetest and tender ret, be

ilrram t What carious things era
drena**, anyhow I The o**t trouble
on Urn aid man’s mind oame over bias
at Hallatojry, where I was balled to lec
tors that night. On my arrival I
found that sugoat body, the Presbyte
rian Hvuod In seas toe. Preachers aid
elder* lanumersble war* acreUtred
among tlw good people all over towt.
They arm* holding night are*Ions, sad
wouldn't bare adjourned for McKinley

of* Bat this was not all, tba
Bptaoopal bleliep waa U lecture sat tba
Holy Und. -where ha bad batn recent

seemed to tael very bad. and apologized
by saying that when be booked ass ha

••WeJI.'' said I. --saint* will all go to

So all It well that eode well. The
next evening round meet the live little
town o( Marion, in western North
Carolina, away up In the land of tbe

kuow, for they Oiled thn court house
that night and gave me an ovation.
The old told Ian are thick iu that

by the gifted Gruber family, who keep

heard much during my long life, but I
never heard any bailer anywhere.

On beptembar 22ud Mini Kllen Out
law waa Uia victim of a horrible acci
dent at the Manchester Mill, wberatqr,
her hair having caught in the ma
chinery, Uie greater part of her acalp
was torn loose from her head, the loner
lining destroyed, sad the ahull axpowd.
For several Marks site haa been rs
covering rapidly. In the majority nf
cases where the skull waa exposed, tba
flesh haa oot grown hack. On Novem
ber 7Ui, her pbysioiau, Dr. J. E. Mas
sey. assisted by Dr. \V. 0. Hteyei.a,
performed a very delicate operallou to
r os tore the acalp, aud, unless some
cotspllcalluoa arise, the operation will
be successful.
Small piece* of cuticle, not larger
than a pin bead, were clipped from her
arm and grafted on the dealt on tba
■pot where the lining of tbe scalp was
destroyed. This spot la seven Inches
lung, aud six Inches wide.
About thirty of these graft* were
placed on lh* exposed place, tu row*
half an lr.«h apart, being held in po
sition by stripe of rubber tissue.
The grafts war* allowed to remain
six days, when the bandage* war* re
moved. The phyaloian* at Oral exam
ination were not enoouraged, as only
three of the grafts seemed to be In a
healthy state. Tba next day, however
about flv* more grafts teemed to bar*
lakeo. On the third dav.allofthe
graft* teemed to be doing ' fleety. and
tbe phyaloian* think that ere long lb*
■kin will Itav* covered the place which
heretofore be* been unprotected. In
a few small places the flesh had oot
covered the skull, and while examin
ing on« of tliene a pole, Tuesday. Dr.
ilaaaey found that the bone exposed
waa loose, which proved to be merely a
small silver which had been toru away
from tin? skull. Between tbe silver
and tbe skull bone proper be found the
Oeah bad grown back. Ha removed
several of Hies* silvers of bone and
made new gmf la. Ibis time using tissue
from the back of her bead, hoping In
this way to get the balr started to
growing on tbe piece where Uia scalp
was torn off.

London , November 9a— One of the
moet dlssetrous flrve lu London’* his
tory elnos lbs great lire of 1006 broke
out In a large block of buildings lying
eastward of Aktorgate Street aad be
tween Uial thoroughfare and Redeross
street, lust after 1 o’olook last after
noon. The flames ware fanned by a
strong wind and were fsd by highly In
flammable stocks of Christmas fancy
goods and flimsy drees materials of all
descriptions, that Oiled every floor of
the»t* story building In the old street.
Consequently tbe conflearmUoo gained
headway with surprising rapidity, mod
was sooo far beyond tbe possibility of
belog checked by the lew engines
which were early on tb* spot. For
four hours aad a half the flames Usd
their oern way and It urns only after
mote then a hundred eoglot* had
worked an hour that tba chief of tbs
Are brigades rsoeived tbe signal that
the Are was under control.
At 11 o’clock tonight the Ore U still
tbe scene of great excitement. Fifty
engines Me playing upon the ruins,
wagons are hurrying up cost and loos
of water are pourlug Into the debris
The scene must occupy the fir* twt
gsde for several days, especially In
view of the grave danger of tbs col
lapaa of ebclls or betiding* which fall
uow and again with a loud report.
The latent accounts Indicate that
nearly 1(10 large warehouse* I rave been
destroyed; while tb* lorn will probably
exceed £9,000,000. The historic church
of St. Giles bee been badly damaged,
the principal damage being tn Die rout
the old windows, the Baptismal font
and Milton•* staloo.
Hsmlen street was tb* scan* of the
outbreak of lbs fire whleb was started
by so exptoiloo In oonneoUon with n
gas engiue on the premites of Walter
Brown A Co., mantel manufacturers
at No. 30 on lb* thoroughfare. Their
factory was crowded with girl* when
Ute Ore broke out. Tbe frightened
operative! rushed to thereof of tb*
building, thence crossing to other
buildings sad so effecting their escape
while Use flams* were pourios out of
tb* bessment. In lees than a quarter
of so hour the fl tunes bad enveloped
the adjolulog wsrebu-iae, and tbeuoe
they leaped serous the street to so
enormous paper warehouse wliioh was
fully alight lu less than lea minute*.'
By this time, it was evident to tbe
firemen that lIvey were face to faoe
with a great disaster and s general
alarm was sent out. Pol lee men also
patbered about the netgbborhod tn
great numbers. This display of
strength oo tbs part of ihe poll be was
required, as the crowd, swstliug In sis*
every moment, sooo amounted to lens
of thousands of people and the flrsmtn
required every possible freedom of ac
tion, as Umtr fight was oo* 0f the
greatest diflleally, Owing to Uis nar
rowness of tb* old crooked streets
which are lb* feature of that part of
London, ooqiblned with lit* height of
the warehouse* which out oil tbe fire
men from all fair chaooe of confining
the outbreak. The rxcitemeol among
tlie on-lookere who crowded every po*
title point of view, was very greet, as
mey be judged from the fact that fire
men had to be repeatedly rescued by
tbeir comrades, by tbe aid of the flra
escapes, from buildings which had
caught fire after the firemen hud
mounted u> their roofs to fight the
flame* in adjoining buildings.
Tire rescue of operatives tb* fire
men; Lhe hurrying of hosts of clerk*
wbo were trying to save hooka and
valoatile papers from the fire, and tlw
rush log her* and there of masy oio
ployeee wbo were attempting to carry
to places of safety ooetly merchandise
or other valuable*, added to tbe eonfo
eiou. Then again the heat was to In
tense that several Bremen were obliged
to direct their opsraliens under show
er* of water poured upon U-etn.
But In nplte of tbe sxsrtton* of tbe
firemen, tire flra crept on very steadily
until Nldholl square, which t* situated
ut the far end of Uamsell street, waa
rase lied.
AI a imte after 8 o'clock a down I
hose pip**, noli with a twelve foot
•pcead pouring water Into the bUas
from an opposite roof, from tbe straat
Mow and from tbe burning preio'aas
themselves did not ana to have any
effect. The water rushed out of the
window* and from Die ground floor
like a water tall while Um denes
leaped higher aad higher nod as tbe
floors fell In tbe plaoe still b(ated-a
gigantic display of Are and eaauke-tin
tha building wae completely guttad
aad tbe walls knocked oyer.
The confusion la the streets In
creas'd a* the lira spread. Suddenly
there waaaa explosion of gee meters,
eoundleg Ilka l be reports of field guns,
followed by a momentary hush. After
that Uie wild ranking here and there
was resumed with loeruaalng energy.
Men risked their lives In desperate
efforts to save daybooks, ledgers,
feathers, jewelry, valuable ehlnawure,
etc. One man actually risked hie life
In felab Me bat and unue, 900 rest of
