Latter Dar SapcrattllM. mysteriously murdered. She lived by herself, and wu sitting at a window when a shotgun charge en tered her body, killing her instantly. The mystery surro icding the murder, it U claimed, has been partially cleared away by the arrest of a man named Col trill, who ia now in the county jail on suspicion of having been implicated in tha murder. It brings to light a genuine ease of witchcraft superstition. Cottrlll is under the impression that he has suf fered from supernatural power exer cised by Mrs. Doggs. He claims that at times during the last three months ho haa been ridden by her all over Clay and Calhoun counties, in witch fashion. On one occasion tfie old lady's house appeared to him to be a blacksmith shop, and he was shoeing his horse there at night, when the witch appeared and told him that that would be th last night he would ever shoe the horse. Within a day or two the horse died. It is said that other neighbors of the old lady were affected with the same hallucination, and that threats were previously made to kill her. Cot I rill refused to taiK aooui tne murder, out talks tree- h' on the wrong he thinks he suf fered at the hands of the aged wom an. Many cases of sickness in the neighborhood were attributed to her supernatural influence, and on sev eral occasions it is claimed a lynching was threatened, but no one could be found with sufficient courage to lend those who fancied t ley had been wronged. The Boston Herald Chatterer and the lady in pursuit of a cook: "A fey days ago a liidy in pursuit of a cook was interviewing and being in terviewed at a certain employment bureau. '1 shall want you to go into the country with ma,' she remarked to the mighty personage, who was eyeing her from head to foot. 'Ycz, ma'am; and do yez have low-neek dinners, ma'am?' Mrs. Cook inquired. '"Low-neck dinners!" AVhat do you mean by that?" said the lady. 'Well, ma'am, do ycz eat yes dinner in low- neck dresses? I hev a frind who says she'll not take no place unless the fnmily eats in low-necks, an' 1 thought I wouldn't, cither.' So this is what we are all coming to! Not even our domestics will endure 'plain living,' and if one wants a sfx dollar cook she can't have her without promising to 'eat in low-necks!'" Among the talea of a traveler brought home by certain Buffalo tourists is one which, according to the Commercial, they declare true in every particular, of a conversation between two girla from Rochester. N. Y., ovarheard from neighboring deck chairs on tho steamer. "Let's see," said No. 1, "who is the poet-laureate now?" "Why, Tennyson," said No. 1, the well informed, who knew every thing. "And the one before him was let's see, what was his name?" No. 3 could not recall the name instant ly, but she got it at last. "Oh, yes; now I remember it was Whittier- John Oreenleaf Whittler! He was the poet-laureate before Tennyson." DYSPKPSIA CAN DB CURED BY USING Actor's Dyspepsia Tablets, One llttlo tablot will give lmmedlato relief or money rofunued.

"Prof." Jake Londella is tha man who makes a living by ttttooing. the faces of infatuated folks upon each other's backs. Londella's business brings him in contact with men, wom en and children. Women are his beat customers. Says he, regarding his pe culiar mission: "During the war I tattooed many a soldier's photo upon his sweetheart's, arm, and the soldier often had her picture or name written by herself re produced upon his breast. Many Brit ish soldiers have hadi the portraits of their wives or sweethearts tattooed OB the back before going to South Africa. It is a fail with the officers especially. I know one who has the portraits oC two girls tattooed upon his breast with their names beneath them. "You would be surprised to know how many women bare their neckaaad arms for the needles. It is becoming a fad here just aa it did in London yearn ago. Yes, a woman is usually scarad when. aha aeea the instrument and ink. bat ,he gj,,, me iess trouble than a man. when she discovers that tattooingdoaa not hurt much after all.
