TheTanglo Mad o by Two Fami
lies Strnigh toned Out by a Law
yer of Nashville.
Nashville has a lawyer who, be
sides being a good lawyer, has a
penchant for hunting up and sol
ving intricate problems of geneal
ogy, lie said to day that ho had
road most of those problems
which annually make the rounds
of the press, but some months
ago he accidentally ran upon one
of the most diflicult cases of this
class right here in Nashville, in
tho Valentino aud Stinnett fami
lies, cliouts of his. After many
hours of hard work the lawyer
solved, to his own satisfaction, the
family relationship, and he fur
bished a reporter with the solu
tion, as follows, says tho Nash
villo "Banner."
"Henry Valentine married
Martha Noble. They had five
children, one of whom, Cora, mar
ried James Stinnett, and they had
seven children. Ilenry Valen
tine's first wife died a number of
years ago, and he soon thereafter
married her sister, Fannie Noble,
aud they had six children born to
them.
"About three years ago Henry
Valentine died, leaving his sec
ond wife and two sets of children.
About one year ago Cora Stinnett
wife of James Stinnett and
daughter of Henry Valentine,
died, leaviug her husband and
seven children. Just one month
thereafter James Stinnett mar
ries Fannie Valentine. James
Stinnett and his wife still live to
gether with his seven children,
her six children by Valentine,
and her five stepchildren of Val
entino's. "They live on Marks street.and
ho works for the E. aud N. Manu
facturing company. Now, what
relation is James Stiunett to his
v ife's children ? What relation
is Mrs. Stiunett to her husband's
children ? What relation is Jas.
Stinnett to his wife's step-children-?
What relation is his chil
dren to her children and to her
step children 'i
"Stiunett is the step-father of
las wife's children; he is also a
brother-in-law to them because
they were half brothers and sis
ters of his wife; he is also a cous
in of theirs by marriage because
their mother and his wife's moth
er were sisters; Mrs. Stinnett is
the step mother of his children;
also a great-aunt, as she was a
sister to their grandmother. His
brothers and sisters to her chil
dreu because their parents are
husband and wife. His children
are stepchildren of hers; they
are also grandchildren because
she was the wife of their grand
father. She is likewise their
great-aunt because the sister of
their grandmotherjheis his wife's
husband, her step-son in-law, be'
cause he was the son-in-law ol
' her husband. She is his aunt by
marriage because she was the
sister of his wife's mother.
He is his father-in-law's broth
erin-law because his present
wife is the sister of his father-in-law's
first wife. He is his own
step-son-in-law because ho is the
husband of his step-mother-in-law
and for the same reason he is his
own step-father-in law. He i
likewise a brother-in-law to hi
dead mother-in-law and also n
step-souin-law of his present
wile.

TAKE CARE OF THE STOM
ACH.
The man or woman whose di
gestion is perfect and whose
stomach performs its every func
tion is never sick. Kodol cleanses,
purifies and sweetens the stom
ach and cures positively and per
manently all stomach troubles,in-
igestion and dyspepsia. It is the
wonderful reconstructive tonic
that is making so many sick peo
ple well and weak people strong
by conveying to their bodies all of
the nourishment in the food they
eat. Rev. J. H. Holladay. of Hol-
laday, Miss., writes: Kodol has
cured me. I consider it the best
remedy I ever used for dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. I was giv
en up by my physicians. Kodol
saved mylife. Takeitaftermeals.
OPIUM CURSE IN CHINA.
Ihe statement that a German
nrm has offered tho Chinese Gov
ornment $15,000,000 anuually for
mo exclusive rights to sell opium
uirounout the empire is signiti
cant for the evidence it affords of
the hold which the opium curse
iias upou tne Uhiuese people. II
is quite as cousistant for the Ger
mans to secure a monopoly of thi
miserable stuff in the future as it
was lor the English to force it un
on China in the first place, but lu
neuner case is the transaction
'mutable to a piofessedly chris
Man nation.'' The usnf Aifwmn
0 () worth of opium per year will
go far toward offsetting all the
good that all the missionary force
or otner nations can do lu China,
una mo iact timt a traffic In the
drujar of such dimensions can be
nirn&d on successfully is not
noperul augury for the future of
uio Celestial Empire. Leslie'

8 PHILIP F. BLACK,
O Manufacturer of
Little Russel Brown Could Do
with His Feet What Others Did
with Hands.
Russel Brown, 13 years old, of
Binghamptou, N. Y., and known
all over Central and Southern
New York as an "armless won
der," died in his mother's home
to-day, after a short illness from
diphtheria.
Russel was born without arms,
but had managed to pass through
his short life without serious in
convenience because of his won
derful dexterity in using his feet
and toes. He commenced to use
his feet as substitutes for hands
and arms when he was a baby.
Constant use of his toes made
them as pliable and controllable
as fingers, and there were few
things other boys could do that
Russel did not practice until he
could repeat them. He always
wore light kid shoes, covering his
feet as far forward as the ball,
leaving his toes exposed. With
these members he could handle a
knife and fork at the table, pick
up the smallest articles from the
floor, hold a book and write.
The boy's chief accomplish
ment was playing on a violin, in
which he was an adept. The vio
lin was placed on some object un
der his feet, and he played many
diflicult compositions with skill.
A bicycle fitted with a steering
gear against which his shoulders
rested gave him plenty of outdoor
recreation, and he could perform
tricks without number on the
wheel. Driving his mother's
horse was another of his favorite
pastimes. At school Russel was
very popular ana Tared just as
did the other scholars, except
that he had a seat aud desk which
allowed him to use his feet.
Although offered large sums
for the b6y for exhibition purj
dosos, his mother, Mrs. Eflie
Gardner, always refused to turn
the little fellow's accomplish
ments into a money-makiug
scheme. New York Herald.
