But then it don't matrer much I am an old man." This was the comment of Joseph Kozkowski aged (»2, farmer, after being locked up here charged with killing George Roberts, a neighbor whose body was riddled with shot from a double barreled gun today as the result of a quarrel over line fence and cattle. The shooting was witnessed by Roberts son and a number of picnickers. Kozkowski was arrested by Erie detectives who overpowered him in his home where he had fortified himself. He hing ed when telling his story of the shooting to Police Chief Detzel. KEEPING THE LOOK OF VO'JTil Parlciennes Are. Probably the Most Successful in This, But Many May Achieve It. A Russian prlnoess who has attract ed much attention In Paris this winter, and who is considered one of the best dressed women In that city, declares that nothing ages a woman's appear ance so much as the old-fashioned method of pushing the flesh 1 up above the corset. How few women who have passed the "dangerous" age stop to think of this, yet Is It not true? The settled look that comes with middle age is enhanced by a stiff-corseted figure above Ihe waist. Put money Into a good corset, have it fitted sitting down, and in adjust ing it be sure to pull it far down ind gird it firmly round the hips. Many women find as they grow older they must have their evening gowns cut high. Thiß need not b< done if care is taken to get a corset that has a low bust. From Pails comes another hint about youthful looks. A famous dressmaker says that real lace ages women and should never be worn near the face. The Parislenns has learned to fight age more successfully than most women because she pays heed to de tails that to others seem trivial. She makes a study of line, angle and color, and who will say the results are not worth the trouble? It is every woman's duty to keep young looking. The worst way U> QO it is to feign youth through cosmetics or a kittenish manner! —Cleveland Leader. HUMAN NATURE NOT SO BAD New York Newspaper Man Observes With Pleasure the Aid Given the Blind. If you doubt that human nature is kind, watch the ordinary passerby in his attitude toward a blind man. The office window man was riding in a Broadway open car tho other day. The car was just barely moving, owing to some blockade or other, and kept about even pace with the pedestrian-- who crowded the pavements !n thel. usual dally hustle. The eye of the Office Window casu ally lit upon a blind man, walking alone, with that upright tilt of the head so common to the sightless. He tapped his stick incessantly before him and moved briskly until he neared the end of each block, with its hazard ous curb. The car kept pace with him for seven blocks, and upon every block some one took charge of that blind man as he came to the curb, saw him safely over and said a pleasant word in parting. One young man stayed near him for three blocks, steering him over ihe crossings each time. Probably the man with the tapping stick thought the friendly guide was a different man for every block. Or does his ear be some so delicately attuned to voices that he fairly sees through bearing? The Office Window man wondered if the smiles that so often light the faces of the blind come from the hab it of thanking people who lend them friendly aid so many times a day?— New York Evening Mall. Sleeping Sickness Discovery. Reports received from the commis sion on Sleeping Sickness working in Rhodesia state that It has been proved beyond doubt that the tsetse fly, known as Qlossina inorsitans, as a carrier oi the disease. The commission was dispatched to Africa in consequence of the appear ance of the disease In regions where Qlossina palpalls (the species of tse tse fly, which up to that time had alone been regarded as a carrier of sleeping sickness,) was non-existent. The guilt of Glosslna morsitans has been proved not only under laboratory conditions, but also in nature. Certain animals can act as the host of the virus without suffering thereby. While palpalls la to be found only in narrow limits, morsitans is met with throughout Africa in wide areas, and thfc methods of "llgration and iso lation hitherto employed will be prac tically Impossible. Consumption From a Monkey. A report conies from Russia that Mmo. Gvosdeska, prima donna at the Imperial theater, is ill from consump tion, having been Infected by her pet monkey. She fondled her pet when It suffered from bronchitis. Inasmuch as the monkey is suffering from tuberculosis, the Russian doctors de cided that the disease had been caught from the monkey. It is prob able that consumption would last con siderably longer In the woman than in the monkey, and the chances are that the poor monkey whtle out of sorts really caught the consumption from the prima donna, who may have been Infected long ago, the trouble, though, only recently showing to any serious extent.

Colber was preach ing in an old lop schoolhouse In John son county, Missouri, in 1852, his congregation was quite small. One Sunday all were sitting at the desks forward near the puncheon floor. The sermon was monotonous and the old log seats had no backs. Observ ing the sleepy, downcast look of the congregation, the minister woke them up by shouting: "Arouse, heaven Is not under the floor!"

An Inventor In America has earned, the thanks of all who have been seek ing after a really sanitary form of kissing In certain parts of that great country, when young ladies goto par ties and places where they kiss, they are provided with a sterilized ivory ring, mounted on a silver handle. This is interposed between fhe kisser and the klssee, and the resulting sensation is known as "pasteurized pleasure," or "germless Joy."—London Answers. Longevity In French Villages.

Made Up In Quantity. An old colored woman, who bad grown gray and bent In the service of the family who had raised her from childhood, was not gifted with an overabundance of gray matter, and her mistakes and queer Ideas fur nished much amusement to those about her. One day a Yorkshire pudding that she had made for dinner did not seem quite as It should be, and the mis tress called Eunice and said: "What is the matter with the pudding. Eunice; did you make It in the usual way?" "Yesm'm," said Eunloe. "How many eggs did you putin It?" "Six." "Six!" exclaimed the mistress; "why, the recipe only calls for four!" "Yesm'm, I know," said Eunice; "but they weren't very good, so I put In more of 'em." Things Flah Can Bee. It Is doubtful if fish can distinguish forms outside the water, but they un questionably can see moving objeots at considerable dlstanoe. Their In stinct teaches them to ffe from strange moving things and lium shad ows thrown on the water by peraona moving along the' waterside or by birds flying over. The proof that tbsy cannot see the outllnea of forms suf ficiently well to distinguish between animate and lnanlriate objects, la that they will show no more fear of an angler standing perfeotly still In the water, than they will of a tree or other harmless object. That their sight la keen In the water la evidenced by the fact that game fishes, that prey on their fellows, do muoh of their feeding at night, pursuing and capturing min nows and other small flah In deep, dark holes. Literary Tailors. One does not look for literary men among tailors, but none the less the profession can claim some Illustrious names. John Stow, the antiquary and author of the "Survey of London," for instance, began life at a tailor, and an other famous tailoring antiquary waa John Speed, one of our early map makers and member of the Society o. Antlquaries. And then there was Robert Hill, "the learned tailor" of Birmingham, who contrived to teach himself Greek and Habrew and became famous as a writer of theological treatlsea. And George Meredith waa born over the I tailor's shop. OUR PRINTING IS SURE TO PLEASE WORK A SPECIALTY^.
