Some one tells this story, for husbands,
we suppose:
Perhaps some fifteen or seventeen years
ago, in very good state, saw woman
with pleasant Quaker face, under a
simple Quaker bonnet-I rather liked it
and her Quaker husband sitting by
her with his broad brimmed hat on.
They had spent many long years togeth-
er, you could see by their faces. He was
just bidding her good-by as the train was
starting. / did not at all wish to hear
what they said, but / heard that he had
bought her a ticket, and l saw that he
had taken her satchel politely on his arm.
She hated to ask him for money good
many other women have hated to ask for
it too. She began to say, | wish / had
little"-she did not want to finish
thinking that she would think of it and
give it to her but he did not. So out il
came all at once. "May be I'll want a
little money while am gone" The good
honest Quaker turned his face to her with
surprise, and said, "What hast thou
done with the quarter gave the las
week ?"

A ROMANCE IN CHICAGo.-A portrait
painter living in Chicago, named She
deem, native of Germany, recently be-
came engaged to beautiful girl, the
daughter of German parents of moder-
ate means. The artist-lover, though not
rich, was in better circumstances pecuni-
arily, than his prospective father-in-law
The parents of the girl favored the match
at first, but subsequently, for some cause
not explained, sought to have the engag.
ment annulled. This the lovers refused
to do. Failing in their desires by the ex
ercise of commands and entreaties, the
parents resorted to less reputable meth
DDS. They separated the lovers, sought
to poison the mind of each against the
other by Misrepresentation and falsehood
and intercepted their letters. This moi
having the desired effect, the father as
sailed the artist with loaded cane
smashing his face almost to jelly ant
destroying the sight of one eye. IL
crown this cruel act, the infuriated faith
er procured the incarceration of the low
er in prison on a charge Of disorderl,
conduct. The daughter, not learning
the cause of her lovers absence, and fren
zied by the taunts of her parents, at
tempted selfdestruction. This led to tn
discovery of the fathers brutality, tn
release Of the imprisoned lover, and hi
marriage Immediately thereafter to tn
girl Of his heart and in whose behalf h
had become MANNED for life.

A TOUGH SroRY.-The following sto-
ry about tale in Williamstown, Massa-
chusetts, is told in the History of Berk-
shire county, and may be of interest to
entomologists
In 1866 strong and beautiful bug ate
out Of table made from an apple tree
which grew ON the farm of Major Gener-
al Putnam, in Brooklyn, Conn, and
which table was brought to Williams
town when his son, Mr.. L. S. Putnam,
moved to that town. The tree WAS cut
down in 1886, sixty five years after it
was transplanted and if the tree was
then fifty years old, it was eighty years
old when cut down. AS the cortical lay
ers of the leaf of the table are about six
ty, and extend within five of the heart,
as the inner ones are quite convex, about
the outside In 1918 third bug made
its way out. the second having appeared
two or three years before. The last bug
came forth from nearest the heart, and
forty-fve cor.ical layers distant from the
outside. The tree had now been cut
down twenty-eight years. OF course the
egg must have been deposited in the tree
seventy-three years before. The eating
of the insect was heard for weeks before
it made its appearance. 1t ate three
inches along the grain, before emerging
into the light. These facts were giver
by Mr.. Putnam, in whose possession thu
table still remains, and were first pub
iished in the Repertory, of Middlebury
Vermont, in 1916. One Of the bugs
preserved for some time by DIR. Fitch
first President of Williams College, wa
about one inch in diameter, its color ;
dark glittering brown with tints of vel
low.

A New Jersey Hermit.

A veritable hermit has been discovered
on the West Hoboken hills. He inhab-
its a small cave, around which he has
constructed stone wall covered with
boards, In early life he was a sailor,
running away from home in 1923. After
passing through numerous vicissitudes,
he settled down in California, where he
fell in love with the daughter of well
known banker, and was finally engaged
to be married to her, but her father
strongly opposed the match. The pair
determined to elope and marry, but ON
the very day they had determined to do
so, his affianced, who il seems had been
deceiving him all along, married another
and the same afternoon sailed in steam
er for New York. He determined to
follow and avenge himself He proceed
ed to New York by the next steamer,
but being without means to follow them
up, was finally compelled to go to work.
For five years he worked as stevedore !;
finally he came to Boston and sailed for
the West Indies. After making five
trips he returned to New York, and has
been lowly wanderer in the country
ever since. Besides all these misfortunes
he was at one time shot in the back by a
target company, at the foot of Versey
street and the ball still remains in his
back. He is about five foo: eleven,
wears white whiskers, and has rather an
intelligent look. He is clad in rags He
says he desires to end his days alone, and
unless driven off by the owner of the
property, he intends to die on the spot.
He is constantly making improvements
about the place, and his cabin will short
ly be we'll worth visiting, as he is con-
stantly receiving contributions.

sey, the Rhode Islander who has given
to his own and other states funds, the
annual income of which should be ex-
pended in roast turkey once year for
the inmates of the penitentiaries, is thus
described: He is painter by trade, and
conducts an extensive and lucrative busi-
ness. He keeps no books, but does ev-
erything strictly upon the cash principle.
He makes no return of income to the in
ternal revenue department. The follow

what was your income last year,"
"Can't say-keep no accounts-you see
by that card my terms are cash, and /
live up to them--never put down one
cent with pen." "Can you not give
me some idea of your receipts? "Not
the slightest have made bargain with
the Almighty that ! will never be rich

letter--am giving away all along through
through the year, and at the end of the
year have from $1,000 to $4,000 left to
spend in giving prisoners roast turkeys

satisfied, come again and take another
crack" l ventured to ask on what in
come he was assessed. 90" he replied,
con some $4,000 or s5O0O.' He in
formed me that he comprised society
by himself of which he was pr sident,
treasurer, secretary and board of direc-
tors, and that while the poor Of his own
town were his chief care, he had benefi-
Charles in many different states. He said
that he was formerly much annoyed by
applications for loans by persons in want,
many of whom he accompanied, but rare
" got any returns. He has therefore
posted this notice over the door Of his
shop, which ismore forcible than elegant.
and is certainly free from all tincturc Of
Puritanism:--
"sIGS PAINTING.
STOP!
No adn,ittanee here ercept on business
No more money lent!
l don't mind gieing to the ncedy-D--n

Mr. Dorsey apologized for the rough
ness of this notice by saying that it was
not meant for profanity, but only for
emphasis, and recalled our Savior's words
addressed 70 the scribes and pharisees
aye serpents. We generation of vipers
how can We escapethe damnation of hell!"
Last year Mr.. Dorsey offered to the head
of certain prison 5000 on condition
that he would give his prisoners roast
turkey dinner; the sum was accepted on
that condition. He afterward learned
that the birds were boiled instead of
roasted; and he has sued for recovery
Of the 5000, on the ground Of breach Of
contract. In relating the circumstance,
he remarked: "If the old gentleman, on
the return of his prodigal son, had said,
boys, now kill the fatted calf and roast
it for the feast of welcome, how would he
have felt if, on going into the kitchen,
he had found them boiling the calff'
He had himself once been in circumstan-
ces to know what exquisite pleasure q
roast dinner afforded to one who had
long been living on sodden food, and he
then and there resolved that, if he ever
had the means, he would provide roast
once year at least for class of men
who seldom gstanything but boiled food.
