that lie intended to saw one of his
wrists into poker chips.
It is not true, as some of the news-
pipers asserted at the time, that his
voice became ossified, nor was it borne
out by observation that he sneezed
splinters of bone, but it is true that
his only drink was boneset tea.

Several years ago, on Chicago's
north side, a widow who kept a fash-

of turning into some hard substance,
and one of the delinquents of the
household remarked to her:

the opinion of the physicians, his
heart had become a bowlder, lie was
more exacting in the collecting of
petty debts and slower to lend money,
even upon the best or security. When
stretched out upon what everyone re-
garded as his deat h slab he was visited
one day by a man in great press for
money.
"Well, but I shall have to think
over it." said Wood, "Times, as vou
must know, are exceedingly hard."
"And the fact that times are hard
forces me to tell you that I haven't
time to think," replied the visitor.
The granite man managed to shake
the solid block which still served him
as a head. "I should like to accom-

Peculiar Pranks of Nature.
From Ohio comes an account of a
girl who is slowly turning to marble.
It is deplorable to turn to anything
other than what nature intended,
whether it be marble or bronze, and
such things are usually accounted for
by recognizing the exaggeration of a
zealous newspaper correspondent.
But nature in her fanciful moods
cuts many odd capers. A few years
ago the dime museum world was in-
troduced to Jonathan Bass, who in
earlier life exhibited the physical
sprightiiness of an athlete. But one
day while rafting logs he was im-
mersed in the river, and after that he
began to turn to bone. Physicians
could advance no acceptable theory;
the water of the river at the exact
spot where John fell in was analyzed,
but gave no clew. It was thought
"Why, madam, you look as if you
were chiseled out of stone." And
with a sigh she replied:
"But I feel that I am chizzled out
of board.''
It is said upon good autliortv that
in Vermont a rural money lender
turned by degrees to a very tine qual-
ity of granite. And the correspond-
ent, to lend credence to his report,
put down the man's name lis Wood
rather than Stone. Thus has it ever
j been thought that artlessness sheds a
j soft and convincing light. It is as-
serted that as the disease progressed
Wood became keener as a shaver of
notes. He thought not of his ap-
proaching end, but in his affairs seem-
j ed take an increasing delight, and it
is related that one afternoon, after
his feet had become solid stone, he
j walked, with ringing step, out the
j turnpike to where, in his service, a
j constable was selling a widow's cow.
lie was pleased to reflect upon the
fact that his granite feet were reliev-
ed of the necessity of going shod, and
he laughed when in the evening his
heels struck tire in the street.
At night he employed his time with
cracking walnuts on his bare knees,
selling the product of his industry to
a vender on the corner. He had ever
been known as a man of executive
ability, and as the hardening ailment
neared his heart he devoted himself
to the organization of a tombstone
trust, and after a time succeeded in
precipitating a strike among quarry-
men.
After losing the ability to walk,
four strong men were employed to
carry him about on a slab, and it Is
affirmed that some of his shrewdest
transactions were effected when, in
