A Man Under The Bed.
HOW WISH JOHNSON FOUND
HIM,
THE
AND
BBD-
BUMPED HIS HEAD AGARNST
STEAD.
One of the most striking characteris
tics of woman is her cheerful persever
ance in looking under the bed for a
man. No man in his senses ever looks
under the bed for a woman; but there
are millions of women in this country
who would find it quite impossible to
sleep in any bed under which they had
not previously looked for a concealed
man. Experience is lost upon them.
The average unmarried woman of forty
years of age has usually lSfcked under
the bed at least 7,500 times without ever
once finding the expected man, but she
is not in the least discouraged by so
long a course of failure; and it would
be easy to find women of ninety years
who still nightly search for the man
whom they have never found.
Miss Johnson, of Exanston, will here
after be famous as a woman whose long
perseverance has been signally reward
ed. It would be indelicate to inquire
into her precise age, had she not de
scribed herself in a recent affidavit aa
having been born in the year 1834, and
we may therefore take it for granted
that she is at least forty-three years old.
If wo assume that she began to look un
der the bed at the age of fifteen, it fol
lows that she has performed that cere
mony more than 10,000 times. Until last
Friday she never found the smallest
fragment of a man under her bed, but
on that eventful night her perseverance
was rewarded, and the loag-sought man
greeted her astonished gaze.
Miss Johnson being an unmarried
lady, not wholly unconnected with the
milliner's trade, and full of womanly
independence, resides entirely alone in
small house containing nut three
rooms a kitchen, shop and bed room.
Dogs she desjii.-jes and cats she mis
trusts, while as for men she regards
them as poor creatures who may possi
bly have their uses in time of drouth.
when water must be carted from the
creek, but who, as a rule, make more
trouble about a house than their necks
are worth. Molding these views, it
naturally follows that Miss Johnson
lives alone, and the cool bravery with
which she locks up her house at night
and seeks her solitary couch, no matter
if a hrst-class thunder-storm is in
progress, has for years been the admira
tion of the more timid of her sex.
It was about 11 o'clock last Friday
night when Miss Johnson stooped down
and looked under her bed for a possible
man, precisely as she had done on 10,000
previous nights. hether she was or
was not astonisheu at perceiving a large
sized man lying under the bed, with the
back of his head toward her, will never
be known; but at any rate she gave no
sign of astonishment, and did not oven
inform the man that she saw him. On
the contrary, she resumed with great
deliberation the nocturnal twisting of
her back hair, and even softly hummed
"Hold the Fort" with as much distinct
ness as could be expected of a woman
while holding a comb between her teeth.
Her back hair being finally finished, she
opened her window, turned down the
lamp until it gave forth a dim mod
est light, and then stepped gracefully
into bed, but not to sleep.
That sagacious woman was perfectly
well avare that the man under the bed,
not . suspecting that he had been dis
covered, would creep forth with a view
to plunder as soon as he found that she
was asleep. The bedstead stood in tho
corner of the room, and from the posi
tion of the man it was plain that he
would creep out at the side of tho bed.
Miss Johnson, therefore, changed her
usual manner of composing herself to
rest, and lay, as she subsequently ex
pressed it, "flat as a pancake," with her
head projecting over the side of the bed
at the precise locality where she ex
pected the man to appear. For at least
half an hour she lay perfectly still,
watching for the man with a stealthy
vigilance that would have done credit
to an astutte and experienced cat.
Not a muscle or a hair-pin of her frame
moved, and her breathing was as slow
and regular as that of a profound sleeper .
At length the man, confident that ehe
was asleep, softly begun to worm him
self from under the bed , moving after the
manner prescribed by way of penalty
to the original serpent of the Garden of
Eden. Little did he imagine that a
pair of pitiless grey eyes were waiting
for the appearance of his head, while
a pair of lithe and nervous hands
were ready to pounce upon his ears'. It
was not many minutes, however, before
each ear was suddenly caught in an in
exorable grasp, and his head began to
oscillate with remarkable speed between
the floor and edge of the bedstead.
Yon Moltke himself could not have
surpassed Miss Johnson's tactics. She
had the man completely at her mercy,
and he was as helpless as though his
head were in the stocks. At first his
captor maintained a grim silence, but,
after she had bumped him sufficiently to
ease her mind, she addressed him upon
the wickedness and folly of seeking to
rob her. In vain did tho man protest
Uiat his motives were innocent, that he
had mistaken the house, and had merely
intended to take a quiet nap under his
own bedstead, where the flies could not
find him. Miss Johnson sternly told
him that he could not make her believe
any such nonsense, and that she
would "let him know," and would
also "show him." These threats were
carried ouj by a renewal of the bump
ing process, until the man yelled for
mercy so loudly that the neighbors
were aroused and rushed to Miss John
son's house with the firm conviction
that a gang of burglars had murdered
that excellent woman and were quarrel
ling over the division of spoils. It was
not until a strong force, armed with
clubs and hatchets, had recklessly en
tered the room, that Miss Johnson sur
rendered the captive, with the remark
that the sooner they took themselves off
the better, and that if any other man
would like to lie under her bed she was
entirely ready to knock a little sense
into him.
Thus this intrepid woman not onlv
defended herself with the most signal
success, but she pointed out the true
way to deal with a man under the bed.
Most women would have tried to poke
the man out with a broom, at the same
time requesting him to "shoo." There
suit would have been to expose them
selves to an attack at a very great dis
advantage. Miss Johnson's plan, on the
cntrary, places a man under the bed
entirely at the mercy of a cool and cour
ageousvoman, and those women who
may at any time hereafter find a man
under their respective beds will do well
to imitate her example and share her
well-earned glory. .Vetc York T.mes

Dus His Grave and Died.
ONE Of THE MOST REMARKABLE CASES OF
SUICIDE ON RECORD.
The Carmi (Mo.) Times has the fol
lowing remarkable account of a suicide
near that place: Again it becomes our
duty to chronicle a death by suicide,
and in this case tho determination to
commit the deed seems to have been
stronger than in any case ever heard of
before. For a long time Mr. Elijah
Brown, aged about sixty-five years, liv
ing at Crooked Creek, has not been in
his right mind, and has not only
threatened suicide, but has made three at
tempts to take his life the last one of
which occurred last Sunday night and
terminated in his death. About a year
ago he attempted to shoot himself, but
was prevented by a bystander. Seven
months ago, when his son, James 11.
Brown, suicided, the old man said he
intended to do the same thing at the
first opportunity. On Saturday night
last Mr Brown's family sent word to Mr.
David Harris to come over, as Mr.
Brown intended killing himself. Mr.
Harris went over and found Brown dig
ging a grave by the side of that of his
first wife, while a lighted candle sat on
the side of the grave and a shot-gun
was laid near by. Harris asked him
what he intended doing, and he replied
that he was going to kill himself, that
he was digging his own grave and want
ed to be buried just as he was found in
the grave, without any coffin; asked
Harris to do the shoveling in of the dirt,
and to tell every one that he was in his
right mind, and that all the world could
not prevent his killing himself; that no
one was to blame for the act but his
own family. Harris stayed with him
until the candle burned out, when both
returned to the house. Brown at once
got another candle, put some fresh caps
on his gun, and started back to his dig
ging. Harris then went home, and Mrs.
Brown went out and watched the dig
ging. The grave was finished about
eleven o'clock that night. It is not
known whether he attempted to kill
himself -with the gun that night or not,
although that was his first intention, as
he returned to the house shortly after
the grave was finished. Here he fixed
a string to his rifle so as to discharge it
himself, but for some reason he gave
that idea up. Sunday he came to Carmi
and purchased a drachm bottle of
morphine, went home and carried some
boards out to his grave to cover his
body with, and then finished up all his
preparations for death. About ten
o'clock that night he handed his little
grandson a twenty-five cent piece, and
immediately swallowed two-thirds of
the bottle of morphine. He lived until
5:25 yesterday evening sleping all the
time. Brown was in comiortauie circum
stances and appeared sound on every oth
er subject. For the last year or so he has
quite frequently said that he intended
to kill himself.
ThierV Last Moments. Theirs hud
breakfasted heartily and was abouitobe
served with dessert, when ho suddenly
became motionless and stammered, "I
am ill I can't breathe I am suffocat

Madame Theirs. Ho said, in reply to a
question, "Oh, it is nothing, it will pass
away presently." He leaves two wills

his wife and Mile. Dosne, and the oth
er a purely p 1 : tical testament, which he
had entrusted to the care of Barthelemy
St. Hillaire. Meissonicr, the painter,
who passed the previous Snnday with
M. Thiers, with whom he had a lively
diseussion on the merits of Delacroix,
attempted theft to take a portrait of the
deceased statesman, which the artist
successfully completed after death. A
cast of the face was also taken by M.
Braun. M. Thiers keenly felt beauty
in the animal and vegetable worlds. lie
tended hisflowers as if they were living
things. Anxiety for his humming birds
Siricus'y preyed upon him at Torus and
Bordeaux. Tears of joy one day burst
from his eyes at Yersailles, when M.
Charles Blanc took out of his pocket
some tiny pots of fern which Fontain
allowed him to carry off from the place
St. Georges. Tho pair cf gazelles, sent
him by the Egyptian Pasha in 1840, lived
to an old age, and founded a dynasty. M.
Thiers used to be irresistibly drawn in
to the garden of his Ministerial resi
dence to caress t t.em. He taught the
doe to lie at his feet with her head
against him when he was working at
budgets and writing dispatches. His
love of horses amounted to a passion.
He had thought of writing a history of
tho horse, to obtain materials for which
ho overcame his aversion to the Due de
Morney, one of the leading turfmen of
the Empire. Ho used to speculate on
the eloquent things the horse would
uttenrf it could but speak.
The Aba its. The intensity of the sun
shine is reproduced in the Arab eye;
the simoon is a terrible symbol of those
guests of wrath which desolate the hu
man soul. Luxury and indolerfce are
their characteristics as well as fiery tem
pers, and we are at a loss to reconcile
one with the other. Our sky, bright as
it is, is not to be compared with that of
the East. After fifty days of desert travel
I left it fascinated by the variety of
its scenes. In its solitude it resembled
the ocean, but it is sweet and refresh
ing. Providence leaves none of the
dtsert-places of the earth without some
atoning quality. God has breathed up
on the desert this sweet and cleansing
breath. I could point out many traits
of resemblance between the sailor and
Bedouin. Both are free and roviog in
their tastes. Among either you will
rarely find a coward. I prefer here
speaking of the wandering Arab as
a type of the race. The Arab dialect,
in which the Koran is written, is still
spoken in its pristine purity in iEgirls,
around Mecca. The Arab is brave, and
his sense of honor irreproachable. He
is devoted to the muses. I have no
doubt that Christiain knights first learn
ed their sense of honor and chivalry
among the Saracens at the time of the
Crusades. The law of protection is held
in as much respect among the Aiabs as
is the Koran. The pride of the Arab is
his birthright, and dignity in his natu
ral manner. The Arab is generous, and
his hospitality is universal, the guest
confers an honor upon his host, and
the name of strangers is sacred. A
Traveler in the East.
"What i3 this sinecure that we hear

How to Oct an Appetite.
To a man or woman without an appetite, "the
best the market affords " presento little or no
attractions. The oooner such a hapless individ
ual puts the gastric organ in a condition to en
joy the edible comforts which a bountiful provi
dence has provided, the more reason there will
bo to feel grateful for the suggestion. To do
this, invigorate the stomach with Ilostetter's
Stomach liittrs, which will enable that organ
to digest properly, and, since good digestion is
the parent of appetite, give birth to a desire for
food at the intervals appointed by nature. With
chronio want of appetite are usually associated
nervousness, biliousness and constipation, three
evils which are speedily overcome by the Bit
ters. All persons of a dyHpeptic or bilious ten
dency should use this healthful tonic daily, or
at least three or four times a week. A pursu
ance of this course will soon insure ntul confirm
a radical change for the better in the condition
of tho stomach and associate organs.
