Ho says In his career ho has swallowed something like 1000 knifo blades, -While of tho tacks, scrows, nails and such sun dries ho has kept no cbunt. A few days ago he swallowed a horseshoe nail and, that Is what caused tho trouble. He neglected to bend the polrit clear under tho head as ho usually does.

A surgeon was summoned and1 an 'operation determined upon. PR GIVEN HKK'FACE ON THE DOLLAR? Claim of "Miss Williams Disputed By PoorhonSo Inmate. BINGHAMTON, July 25.

J IT IN DARK HOUSE Host, Hostess and 40 Guests, All Sightless, Enjoyed Themselves to tho Utmost. ST. LOUIS, July 2 G. With so lit tle light that It can bo said that tho hcjUBe was In darknesB, a reception was given to forty guests, not ono of whom was In tho least disconcerted by the absence of Illumination. There was music, and there were refreshments, and thero wore songs and Instrumental music, and a lot of laughter, talking, and story telling, and all tho North American Gas and Lighting Company gets out of It is one night's bill for cooking gas for a house in Cook avenue. Nobody at the reception could see n wink, but they can't see any time, so tho absenco of light was not no ticed except by tho neighbors, who could hear but could not peep. The occasion was the first anni versary of tho wedding of Charles Reavey and of tho birthday of his wife. Mrs. Reavey was married to her present husband last year after she was divorced fron another blind man. They have a nice little home and both are good musiclsans, and neither has the slightest feeling of dependence on "seeing" folk. The wife has a comfortable income. Before the guests came Mrs. Rea vey and her blind assistant went over the house carefully and put It in order. They swept every inch of the floors and hung sweet smelling flowers where they could do tho most good. "Swept?" ,, , How do blind women sweep? It's as easy as falling off a log, to hear one of them tell about it. They just take off their shoes'and feel the floor with their feet. If there Is any dirt they will find It assurely as a woll-tralned dog will find a bird. They don't havo to'see things. ss Poor Norwegian Halts Run away and Will Marry Daugh ter of Millionaire. LOS ANGELES, July 24. Charles Westrem, owner of tho "Poodle Dog" restaurant here, will marry in Den ver Miss Virginia McMillan, daughter of R. S. McMillan, a Colorado min ing millionaire. Westrem is a Nor wegian, thirty years old, and was ten years ago, dishwasher In tho restau rant of which ho Is now the prop rietor. It Is at tho "Poodle Dog" that tho submerged tenth gets four "sinkers" and a cup of coffee for a nlcklo. Tho love affair of tho young Nor wegian and tho daughter of tho min ing king is a real romance, in which tho girl, waiting for her hero, saw him for the first time as hor life was In great peril. Of course, Westrem saved her, and now they are to bo married, in the beautiful mansion of tho bride's father, and with tho heartiest of parental blessings. Westrem was on his way a year ago to visit his native land, when he stopped off for a day In Denver to see the city. As ho was walking along one of the principal business streets, a runaway horse came wildly toward him, dragging after It a vehicle in which sat Miss McMillan. The young woman held the reins, but was help less and transfixed with terror as her horso dashed around street cars, wagons and pedestrians. It seemed that the girl must in a moment more meet death or terrible Injury when Westrem sprang from the sidewalk, clutched the bridle of tho flying steed and clung to It until he had been dragged a block. Then the horse fell. Miss McMillan was pitched head foremost into the street, but escaped with a broken ankle. The episode changed the whole course of the young man's life. Instead of going to Norway he stayed a week in Den ver, and in that time Miss McMillan lost her heart to him. Miss McMillan will be heiress to at least $1,000,000. American Capital's Great Opportunity In IMexico. Cj By General HENRY IDE WILLEY. HE greatest opportunity ever presented to a nation for invad ing another fellow's country and reaping a harvest now con fronts the United States in tho form of the untouched wealth of Mexico. "When President Diaz took office years ago he was surrounded by Spanish influences which wore opposed to an American invasion of the territory. It was years before ho was able to change this senti ment, but tho time has now como when every native realizes that AMERICAN ENTERPRISE AND CAPITAL CAN WORK MTRAOLES in tho development of tho country. THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO 18 A STANCH SUPPORTER' OF ALL THAT 18 AMERICAN AND HAS CONVINCED HIS PEOPLE THAT THE FUTURE OF THEIR LAND RESTS LARGELY IN THE HAND8 OF UNCLE 8AM'8 COUNTRYMEN. Baron von Humboldt described Mexico as tho "treasuro houso of tho world.'' Cecil Rhodes called it a "veritable Now Jerusalem." Ndthihg could bo more fitting than theso descriptions. In its natural resources THE COUNTRY IS THE MOST RICHLY EN DOWED IN THE WORLD, and it is fast reaching tho zenith of its greatness. Every nation in the 'world except Mexico has had a boom at one time or another. HER TIME IS NOW AT HAND. Fear of revolutions and unfair methods, together with a lack of modern transportation facilities, havo deterred outsiders from enter ing Mexico for any years, but the more courageous long ago discov ered that that wonderful statesman, patriot and soldier, Porfirio Diaz, guaranteed a firm and stable government, and under his guidance wise and generous laws were created and enforced until now all who know Mexico agree that CAPITAL IS SAFE THERE. An Idea! 'Sitter. A Washington artist, while sketch ing tn North Carolina, was one day in search of a suitable background of dark pines for a picture ho had plan ned. At last he found tho precise sit nation he was seeking, and, best of all, thero1 chanced to bo a pretty detail in the figure of an old colored woman in the foreground. The artist asked the old woman to remain seated until he bad sketched her. She assented with the greatest good nature, but in a fow minutes asked how long the artist -would be. "Ob, only about a quarter of an hour," he answered. Three minutes or so later the old darky again inquired this time with manifest anxiety how long the opera tion of sketching would take. "Not long.' was the reassuring re ply. "But why do you ask so anxious lyr" "Oh. nuthln', sab." the old wo man hastened 'to respond, "only I'a slttln' on an ant hill, sah." Judge's Library.
