He had between sixty and seventy blooded animals in his stable and more than a score of road wagons. He changed his clothes as often as he did his driving rigs. One hour he appeared in a yachting costume, the next In a bicycle rig and then in a frock coat.

A Woman Ilerm At Lookout Pass, on the Onoqui range, about 150 miles from Salt Lake City and thirty miles from the nearest ranch, where no one save a stray miner ever passes her cabin, lives Elizabeth Rockwell, widow of Horace Rockwell, a brother of Porter Rockwell, who achieved fame by leading Brigham Young's band of Destroying Angels, or Danites. Aunt Lib is the name by which she is known. Her only companions are a quintet of snarling cur dogs and a lonesome cow. For nearly fifteen years the old woman has lived there. She Is extremely averse to having anyone inside her deor, refusing to furnish travelers with food, and charging them with the water their cattle drink at the rate of 10 cents a drink, She says the Saginaw Courier-Heralis her husband having left her a comfortable property. One story told of her is that on one occasion, when one of the pups was ill, she managed to get a message to a physician living eighty miles away that he was wanted at once. He came post-hastthinking that it was herself who was ill, and was so disgusted when he Jearned that he had been called to prescribe for the dog that he charged her two hundred dollars. For this act he never received her forgiveness, although she paid the bill. About ten days ago Aunt Lib had an adventure which plainly demon strated her force to take care of her self, although seventy-fiv- e years of age The impression has prevailed that she has been hoarding money somewhere ban about hr cabin. Two would-b- e dits endeavored to force the .secret of her treasure from her about a week ago, and the result is that one Is so bad ly wounded that it is a ten to one shot that he is now dead. d. well-to-d- o, e, re tle MILLIONAIRE DROUIN. Atlantic City police have had to caution the reckless millionaire to stop his furious driving. He drives in a rubber-tire- d road cart. The other day he appeared porch attired In regulation on his cowboy fashion, with sombrero, flannel shirt, shottall boots, and a double-barrele- d gun In his lap. Passersby at once took the opposite side of the street, and a tragedy was momentarily expected. But the gun was only his newest method of amusing himself. The catalogue of his eccentricities since they began to be exhibited in March, 1894, when he took up a residence for the season on South Illinois avenue, opposite the fashionable Tray-coor- e hotel, would make a page. They cover a wider range of extraordinary conduct and carryings-o- n than was ever concocted by anyone outside of i lunatic asylum, and certainly no sane millionaire, jaded by the ordinary pleasurable diversions possible with an unlimited bank account and a daring disregard of the opinions of his neighbors, ever resorted to such Ingenious methods of amusement. Learn, then, st the amazing ways of the amazing mlllionaire-o- f Atlantic City. The first playful act was with" the newsboys. The lads who sold him papers received in payment banknotes, the denominations of which were as likely to be! fives as ones. Then the Atlantic City merchants who served him were paid double and treble the value of ther goods without asking. He developed George Francis Train's Interesting but expensive penchant for ending telegraph messenger boys on the most trivial errands and frequently had the entire force of both the "Western Union and the Postal Telegraph offices at his1 beck and calL It was his iaily habit t6 wire invitations to promi- nent Americans to pay him a visit. He used bank notes ranging from one to ten dollars in denomination with which to-light his cigars. Another favorite amusement was to Place a gold! coin or a bank note under the heel of :his boot and then give it to the first tjoy who succeeded in shoving his foot off the money. He fred quently purchased checks in iS stacks and gave them to the children . On March 3, 1894, because there was a flelay In the 'arrival of a livery xig that he had ordered, he called on the proprietor andj in fifteen minutes had bought him-ouand was running the establishment himself. On March" 4. 1834, he startled the town by announcing his intention to iuy out a newspaper. Later In the day he made arrangements through City Solicitor Endlcott and Prosecutor Per--- 7 to purchase the Atlantic City Jour. merry-go-roun- hotel guests on the board walk, and especially the women, created such an uproar that the police were finally forced to interfere. Drouin was not locked up, however, but was paroled upon giving his promise to appear in court when wanted. In a history of the industries and prominent men of Philadelphia, issued thirteen years ago, Drouin was classed with such men as Pattison, William McAleer, Clayton McMichael, George R. Pierre and John T. Bailey. The biographical notice said of him: "Few young men in business life have so rapidly risen to positions of prominence and Importance as has Mr. Edward Drouin, vice president of the Philadelphia Commercial exchange. He was born in the City of Brotherly Love in 1851, and his school days were spent at the Rittenhouse and Episcopal academies, leaving there when reach ing his fourteenth year and entering firm. In 1863 the employ of a he began the grain business, and In 1878 was elected a director of the Commercial exchange, an honor rarely held by men under thirty years of age. He was soon afterwards made vice presi dent, was chairman of the committees which received President Hayes and Gen. Grant upon the occasion of their visits to Philadelphia, and was one of the promoters and starters of the Mar itime exchange." ex-Go- dry-goo- v. ds A Physician's Wife Convicted, In the trial of the wife of Dr. Horace E.

When the cannon arrived the king had them mounted on the backs of elephants, for use in the field. With much difficulty this project w&j carried out, and at the next military review the king ordered that one of the cannon be fired immed lately In front of the royal position. He first took the precaution to place a couple of thousand prisoners where it was calculated the ball would strike, sq as to Judge the effectiveness of the shot. When all was ready one of the biggest of the elephants was backed round and sighted. Just as the lanyard was Jerked, however, the animal turned half around to reach for a peanut or something, and the shell took off the prime minister's head, and knocked a hole as big as a sewer right through the royal palace., His majesty wouldn't have cared so much if the matter had ended there as the minister wasn't very prime and the palace needed ventl lation but it didn't. On the contrary, the elephant, which had been stood on Its head by the recoil, picked itself dp in a fury and started in on the down grade ahead of its ticket.

An Odessa correspondent of the Lon don Times says: "An event has hap pened which has caused quite a con sternation among the students attached to the university here. Prince Touman-off- , 3-- . a member of an old and historical family in this country, has just re ceived an order expelling him from the university here and directing him to leave the town within forty-eighours. The extraordinary reason for this Draconian decree is that he declined to wear his hair short. He has been refused permission to go to St. Petersburg to present a petition, and now by his expulsion from this university he is not permitted to enter another in Russia; therefore his bright hopes and his aspirations to employ his talents for his country's benefit are wrecked and his career in Russia is ruine'd. The severity with which the university students in South Russia have latelybfeen treated is viewed with dismay. Their grievances are left unredressed and petitions are useless. In these circumstances fresh disorders may be expected to break out at any time." 13-1- 17-2- 4. 3. 6-- 8. f. The mother of the modern girl says fiei daughter is like a piece of cheap calico.

Mar tin Scott was a great rifle shot in his day and generation, and it is related that he invited a party of friends out hunting once upon a time. They were soon scattered through the woods, and one of the party came upon a raccoon that was sitting on one of the highest branches of a very tall tree. He fired at him and missed aim. One by one the other members of the party took aim and fired, but they failed to dislodge the animal. At length Capt. Scott arrived on the scene, and he was in the act of pulling the trigger when the coon looked down and said: "Who are you?" "I'm Scott." "What Scott?" "Capt. Scott." "Are you Capt. Martin Scott?"
