.wearing it when you left this morning,

Has Mustache and
Beard at Age of 4
Moscow.—Russia has discovered the
world's wonder child—- boy aged four
years and ten months, who has the
strength of a full-grc >vn man, but the
mental faculties of a child. He has a
deep bass voice and u fully-grown mus
tache and beard.
He was bora at ladivostbk, as a
normal baby of nor, sal parents, but
after his first year bi ran to mature at
an astounding rate.
The “subject." vis > stands about
j three feet high, toddles like a child,
j but has fully developed muscles.
Similar eases arc - . id by no means
to be rare. It is on record that a
brother of a Greek ring was so ab
normal in his develop rent that he svas
doing a man's work, had married and
was the father of a family when he died
at the age oi seven.
A boy bora in 1741 at a village near
Cambridge, England, developed so rap
idly that he was acting as a farm la
borer at the age of live years and was
; as muscular as the average man.
$7,500 for Luxury of
7 Ruby-Lipped Kisses
New York.—For the seven kisses
that Frederick J. Miaott. f>(5, wealthy
retired manufacturer, stole from the
ruby lips of Miss Belle Levy, in the re
ception room of her home, the jury
w hicb heard her breach of promise suit
assessed the elderly lover $7.GOO. or
something more than $1,000 a smack.
The odd $500 was awarded, it was
suggested, for the kiss he is said to
have offered Miss Helen Levy, the
plaintiff’s sister, which, being refused,
the jury may have considered a *'<lud,”
and consequently not worth the full
amount.
"Of course. I believed Mr. Minott
when he promised to make me his very
own. How could I doubt a man who
embraced meso ardently and kissed
me so passionately?” Miss Levy said in
her testimony.
The defense advanced by Minott that
he must have been insane when he
called on Miss Levy was disregarded
by the jury. Besides, it was not proved
that- there exists a difference in the
lovemaking of sane persons and luna
tics.

Hold Up 1 Messengers
and Get 522,900 in |
Cash and Checks.
Seattle. Aug. 11.—Firing two
shots into the air, four armed
bandits held up four messengers
with $22,900 in cash and checks,
late this afternoon. S. M. Tel
ler, assistant iinancial manager,
was carrying the satchel con
taining the money, and he was
taking it to the National Bank
of Commerce to be deposited as
the day’s receipts.
J. O’Neal, a former member of
the police force, was arrested in
the vicinity as a suspect in con
nection with the holdup. He
denied incommunicado.
A number of politicians are so griev
ously disappointed at the result of the
late primary election that they have
protested against Clerk of the Court
Dunn canvassing the vote of the Indian
villages of Southeastern Alaska. Elec
tion contests are generally unsatisfac
tory proceedings at best. By the time
they are settled the term of ollice is
usually over. If the Indians are en
titled to vote, there is no ground for a
contest. If they are not, a contest will
not settle tlie question. Nothing but a
court decision will put an end to the
controversy, and about now would be
as good a time to get it as any.—Valdez
Miner.
