I "Walker Blaine born Augusta

At the head of the grave stands a
blasted tree which is in accord-
ance with the dead statesman's

I not a sign of neglect but was hist

I the then Secretary of State select-
ed a lot in Oak Hill cemetery one
down the hill from the little red '

Walker Blaine was buried and! 1
i when not long afterward Mr. I
| Blaine's daughter Mrs. Coppinger '
I died he bought the adjoing lot j
where she was interred. On this
lot there stood an old hickory tree.
It had been struck by lightning
some years before and had died at '
; rhe top but it was trimmed and
now bids fait to reach as green an
age. as any other tree in the ceme- '
very. Mr. Blaine requested when '
ihe nought the second lot that this
tree should never be destroyed and
that at his death be should be bul-
led beneath it.

SHE IS A DYNAMO.
Strange Phenomenon in the Form of a
Country Girl in Missouri.
A sensation of a rather peculiar
variety has been occasioned In Se
dalia Mo. by the discovery of an
illiterate country girl Jennie Mor-
gan who lives with her father and
mother on a little farm some eight
miles northeast of that city and
who possesses strange electrical
powers. Some six months ago the
first symptoms of the girl's wonder
ful capacities made themselves ap-
parentbut were given no attention.
Her parents are ignorant people
and not understanding the phenom
en.i at last became alarmed at
their daughter’s revelations and
thinking t hat she was possessed in-
fernally directed the attentions of
the minister and the good people of
the little Bethel Church the. place
where the family has worshipped
for years to their daughter's case
and appealed for their assistance
toward getting some Hevine inter-
positions.
One of the girl's many wonderful
powers in that of illuminating a
room by her presence. This she can
do or not just as she chaoses. The
most marvelous thing however
about the feat is that human eyes
have not yet. been able to see where
the light comes from.
On entering a dark room it is at
once as light as day it she wills but
when she goes out the light Is ex-
tinguished. When producing the
phenomena nobody dares touch het-
on penalty of death. She seems to
be charged with al) the electrical
boltsofa live wire. The personal
atmosphere that surrounds her at
such times repels and thus hassav
ed many from electrocution. A cat
was picked up by the girl while
charged and was instantly killed.
In fact she is admitted to bean ac-
tual living human dynamo.
Even during ordinary times when
she is as near the normal as she ev-
er gets terifle shocks are experi-
enced by those who take hold of her
hands.
One gentleman Henry J. Ash-
croft who was investigating the
cane endeavored to undergo the
torments of the girl's powers but
al Hie end of a few seconds was un-
conscious. After recovering be
found that his gold watch had turn-
ed black. The other day the girl
was brought to this city and exam
iued privately by several scientific
gentlemen. On approaching elec-
tric lights sparks of fire flew from
her hair shooting out toward the
lights.
The subject was considered too
dangerous to experiment with and
as the girl was disinclined to expore
her superhuman endowments Io
curious people or fer scientific pur
poses she was allowed to retire In
peace to her home on the farm
where she lives a very secluded life

I CHEAPER THAN GOLD CURE.
i
’ Tomatoes and Coarse Salt Said to
• Have Done It in Missouri.
"In Missouri we have a rnudh
I I more cheaper jag cure than your
| northern bichloride of injections'
’ I said Col. L. E. Prentiss. "It is
5 simply one of nature’s 'own reme-
-1 dies—merely a ripe tomato and salt.
' As to its efficacy I can refer to a
dozen people of my own personal
knowledge. The cure is fast be-
coming known all over the country
and soon every man will be his own .
jag physician. 1 don't know where-'
in the curative powers of a ripe to-1
mato and a sprinkling of coarse salt
lie but they have been too thor-J
onghly demonstrated to make me t
skeptical.
"One case in particular I know of I
clinches my faith in the cure. In a 1
little town in Southwestern Missou-'
ri’there lives today a man named > i
Jack Morrissey who was one of the j
worst sots I ever had the misfor-1
tune to meet. Morrissey owns a ;
small farm and in a patch of i
ground near his shanty raised i
enough garden truck to supply his !
table. To be truthful Morrissey !
didn't raise anything but hades his i
wife and daughters doing all the ;
work. The man Ind the jlm jams
fourteen times in one year and ;
when he didn't have th<-m all his |
energies'were brut on securing the I.'
sluff to bring them on. This tall |
the crops were i fothirc on the Mor- ■
ritisey farm and with the exception I
of the garden vegetables there was : i
absolutely nothing !..> eat about I he. |
place. Tomatoes however were.
plentiful. After a week's tomato I
eating the family noticed that the I;
head of the house bad remained o I
oer four days out of the. seven. !
-‘Mrs. Morrissey was a woman ot !
quick perception and Jack was ■ ;
dosed with the garden product.
When I saw him three weeks ago :
he was a changed man and he was
not posing as a horrible example in
a tomato jag school either He is
attending strictly to business now
and doing well." [Cincinnati En-
