The bridge Is about twenty feet above the waters of Tus carora creek, which It spans, and, ac cording to the complaint, Is situated at an abrupt turn In the road, Is narrow and unprotected by guard rails, and was not, at the time of the accident, In proper repair. On the night men tioned, he came driving along with a companion, and there being no lights, he was'unable to see his course and was pitched livto the bed of the creek, iv celvitifr Injuries which, he alleges, he has not yet recovered from and which may be the Immediate cause of his death It Is Intimated that he fell off the approach instead of the bridge, Which, If true, would throw the suit onto Bralntrim township, as the coun ty has nothing to do with keeping the approaches In repair.

It was finally knocked down to him at what was con sidered a good price. Not coming around to fix up the papers nor settle for his purchase, the sheriff again ad vertised and resold the property, serv ing due notice upon Strickland that If it did not bring as much at the second sale as at the first the latter would be liable for the difference. The second sale fell short about a thousand dollars, and this action on the part of the sher iff is to recover, as stated. Charlie Little has become a law stu dent In the ollice of W. E. & C. A.

WIDTH AM) WISDOM BLEND. Tho IVillcrlun Axiom Proved In the His tory of Celebrated Women. A great many ladles labor under the Impression that flesh Is Inimical to beauty, and not a few of them put them selves to great trouble sometimes they seriously Injure their health trying to get rid of what they consider their superfluous flesh. The attention of such Is called to the conclusions of a recent writer In a society magazine, who, from a historical review of the prominent women of ancient, mediaeval and modern times, concludes that most of the female beauties and celebrities of the past and present were, or are, dis tinguished for their portliness. Thus, Agrippina, Nero's mother, was fat. Cleopatra, the serpent of the Nile, was small and stout. Laura, Petrarch's muse, was fat, fair, with blond hair. The Marie Flummetta, whom Boccac cio loved, was a brunette and stout. Elizabeth, the virgin queen, was tall and plumplsh, with thick red hair. Mar guerite of Navarre was fat. All Rouben:V women, except his wife, were fat. All Titian's women, except the Madonna, were portly. Catharine of HiiKsiu. after her portraits, was tall and fat. Louisa Strezzl, for whom Alessandro Dl Medici died, was given to embonpoint. Josephine Beauharnnls, the indolent Creole, afterward Empress of the French, was fat and perfumed. Marie Antoinette was tall of Etature, majestic and rather inclined to be stoutish. Mine. De. Stael was small, dark and fut, with a small head. George Sand had a beautiful head, but was fat and small. Heine said of her: "The build of her body has the appearance of being a little too fat, or, ut least, a little too short; the head alone only bears the cachet of the Ideal." Queen Isabella of Spain is fat; Queen Victoria the same; Queen Margherlta of Italy Is certainly going on the same way, and most of the great singers have always been noted for their embonpoint. (lot liven with the Court. From the New York Tribune. An Interesting story is told of Ephralm Flint, the veteran lawyer of Dover, Me., w ho died recently, lie was once fined by a county Justice of the peace for con tempt of court in telling the maglstrato too bluntly whut he thought of one of his decisions. Mr. Flint was not taken back by the justice's order to his clerk. "All right," he suld, "1 huve got a note in my pocket against you which I have been trying to collect for the last ten years, and I'll Indorse the line on it. I never expected to get that much," and, suiting the action to the words, he pulled out the note and made the indorsement. Only Nat urn I. From the Detroit Tribune. Once upon a time a traveler took a sleeping ear, and being greatly fatigued, presently retired. "Tliis pillow," he moaned, after a few restless hours, "feels almighty small." The pillow felt that a great injustice had been done It. "Anybody would feel small," It protest ed, "after being brought in such frequent contact with porters as I am." This fuble teaches that people some times get blamed when they don't really deserve It. - A n in Dlplomucy. From the Boston Courier. Bibsan Frocks This cake Is awful nice, mamma. (Silence).
