Among the ste who arrived at Castle terday on the ste: amship Island fr m says the New York Press, was a Swede named Hans Hansen Vestergord, who weighs ouly Copenhag fifty-sevep poumds. He was accom panied by his wife a big woman weighing fully 190 pounds daughter who is also quite stout. When the trio appeared before the | registry clerk Mrs. Vestergord de- clared that she was accompanied by | her husband and daughter, who in- tended to go to Manistee where some of her relatives were living. “But I only see two of you; where is your husband?” queried the clerk. “O here he is,” said Mrs. Vester- gord, with a smile as she stooped down and picked up a bit of human- ity in the shape of Mr. Vestergord, whom she placed on the clerk’s desk. . “Is that—that—that little feller your husband?” asked the clerk,rather incredulously. “Yes, Iam,” replied the old but diminutive Vestergord, in a piping voice that resembled the toot of a calliope a long distance off. “Is that little boy of any trouble to you?” suggested Detective Gorden to Mrs. Vestergord, placing his fatherly hand on the head of the man who was old enough to be his father. Mrs. Vestergord appealed to the registery clerk for an interpre- tation, but the latter, for obvious reasons, did not translate the de- tective’s query into the Swedish tongue.

Tate Springs, Tenn., July 4, 1888. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.: During the spring of 1871, while working in the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga., I pulled off my shoes to give my feet a rest. Un- fortunately, I walked into a clump of poison oak, and in a few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and I could not put on a shoe because of the soreness and swelling. I was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every suc- ceeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis- ease, only each time it became more distressing, because I began to think it was a life-time trouble. Finally I was induced to try Swift's Specific. I took six bottles, and to-day am entirely well. My improvement was gradual from the first, and no evi- dence of the disease remains. I shall take pleasure in testifying as to its curative properties. est blood purifyer in existence. Yours truly, J. L. Moreay. Treatise on blood and’skin diseases mailed free.

The depth to the water was thirty. feet. An | old ash tree broke the rider’s fall, and, | according to some accounts, he clung | to one of the boughs in his descent—at any rate, he was unhurt; but the mare was killed, and an examination showed that every joint in her backbone was displaced by the shock. Mr. Lambert died in 1770, and in the next year a precisely similar accident occurred at the same place. This time the rider was a groom in the service of Sir John Hussey Delaval, whose horse, on the road to Newcastle from Seaton Delaval, took fright, and, running along Standi- ford lane, reached the above-mentioned bridge, where some foot people en- deavored to stophim. The attempt, however, was in vain, and the horse sprang over the battlement of the bridge. Unlike Mr. Lambert, the groom did not keep his seat; but. ac- to the account, came to the cording bottom first, and—this is the strangest part of the story—alighted between two large stones. The horse came down immediately afterward, but, being wedged in between the stones, did not crush the rider, who was able to ride another horse home. One is not surprised to learn that the jump- ing horse was ‘subsequently shot.” In these two instances the riders escaped and the horses died; but in 1827 matters were reversed; the horse escaped and the man was killed. Mr. Nicholson, a surgeon of Henzel, was riding over the bridge, when his horse suddenly shied and in jumping over the side knocked over the stone in- It is accidents same spot. scribed: *‘Lambert’s Leap.” tainly strange that three should have occurred at the About the year 1790 a somewhat similar leap was recorded to taken place near Whitehaven.

The horse ran and, on reaching the middle of Egremont bridge, on to the battlements, feet high, and appeared to have been, at any rate, wide enough to have af- forded momentary standing-room; for, says an account, ‘the rider, fearing that the horse might topple over side- ways, had the presence of mind to spur the horse and so cause him to jump, which he did down the substantial drop of twenty feet. alighting safe and sound in a foot of water.’ The horse was unhurt, and the only injury sus- tained by the rider was a sprained foot, which confined him to his room for three da jumped which were four s.—St. James’ Gazette. ——__+ +e ___ AND MRS.

We rushed in, the trunk came up with a whew, and the baggageman asked if it was to go to Chicago. When answered in the affirmative he replied: “Next train goes at eight o'clock this evening. Plenty of time to get your trunk checked."* “But there’s a train protested Mr. Bowse “Is that so? Well, I've never seen it go out.”” “Here’s the paper—look at this time table!’ shouted Mr. Bowser. “If you don’t run according to the time tables, you'd better advertise the fact!” “That is the time table of the D., H. & M. road,” answered the man, ‘‘while this is the Michigan Central. Our morning train left at seven o'clock.” Mr. Bowser couldn't speak for the next ten minutes. Once or twice he reached out for the baby, as if intend- ing to crush out its life, but I dodged him, and finally said: “We'll home, of course. We can’t wait here until eight o’clock to- night.”’ “We can’t, eh! Well, we just will, you know! We'd look pretty sneak- ing back home after starting for Chi- cago.” All I could say would not move him, and while he was in and out during the day I put in every blessed minute of the time in that depot. Neither of us got two winks of sleep during the night on the car, and Mr. Bowser rowly escaped coming into deadly con- flict with conductor and porter. We reached Chicago in a mussed up con- dition, and the first thing after break- fast Mr. Bowser said to me: I was noticing you at the table, and you looked awful dowdy. You'd bet- ter put on some decent duds.” “Certainly. Open the trunk and V'll see what I I looked into it, uttered a yell of de- spair, and sat down on the floor. Now what are you acting up about?” demanded Mr. Bowser. “Just see what you brought along!” There were two summer dresses, an old mother hubbard, three odd stock- ings, an old knot of ribbon belonging to the cook, his summer blouse, a pair of patched pants which he sometimes wore to work in, three boots, two tow- els, the cook's hair brush, and nearly all the soiled linen from the clothes basket. “I brought every thing I could find,” protested Mr. Bowser, as I sat and cried. Thad dinner and supper brought to the room, and after the last meal Mr. pwser said we would take the night in home. It was always the way. If there was a chance for him to take comfort I was sure to spoil it. We got back home in the morning, and as we left the cars I said to Mr. Bowser: “We'll tell the neighbors baby was sick and we had to come back.” “No, we won't!’ he promptly re- plied. “There’s going to be no lying about this. We'll tell the neighbors just how it was. You were in sucha rush to get away that you flung all the old duds in the house into the trunk."’ “What! I did?” “Mrs. Bowser. don’t elevate your eyebrows and show your tusks at me! If you ever travel another rod with me it will be when Iam crazy. You can go home alone.
