''there is more than coincidence between

and Pennsylvania. They are alike in point

WICKED WAGs.-One morning nice
young man got into car on the Daytor
Short Line Ralroad, and saw to his de
light the only vacant seat beside young
lady acquaintance. lie reached for thai
seat with joyful strides, and her eyes GOV.
cred his delighted look but just before
he got there, an elderly party from tho
oth6r end Of the car waltzed up the aisle
and dropped into the coveted scat. The
young man approached moro slowly and
accosted the young lady;
How is your brother 2" he asked, "is
he able to get out ?"
Oh, yes" she said.
viii he be very badly marked ?" he
continued, and the old gentleman grew
suddenly Interested.
"Oh, no." said the fair deceiver, "with
the exception OF n few small pits on the
forehead, you would not know he had
ever had it,"
" Were you not afraid of taking it ?"
tho young man went on, while the old
gentleman broke out in u cold perspira-
tion.
" Not at all you know l have been
vaccinatod," she replied.
The scat was vacated instantly, two
young hearts beat as half dozen, and
the prattlc of " nicc talk" filled that part
Of the car, while gray-haired old man
scowled upon them from the hard &C.
commodations Of the wood box.

SHE WANTED IT IN RED TYPE.-A
short time after noon yesterday a very fat
woman toiled up the four flights Of stairs,
rested for breath awhile and then wanted
to sec the "head reporter"
"I'm all alone in the world" she COM
menced as she sat down and pulled out
her handkerchief.
"a widow, oh ?" "queried the head re-

Yes, n poor, strivin' widder whose

years"
death is sad thing, madam. II

" He was such good man," she sob
bed, covering her face with her handker-
chief, "and such good provider. We
alters had taters and meat and wood and
preserves and do you know he never gave
mo an unkind word ?"
I" He must have been an excellent
man."
" He was-ho was. He'd git up nights
and cover up tho children, and shake
down the stove and il he found his meals
wasn't ready, or if he found button OIL
his shirt, he'd never open his head"
"And your grief is yet strong-your
sorrow just as deep?"
Jest NE same as the day he lay dyin'
and took my hand and whispered Cor
tilda, don't take on so.' Yes, I'm griev-
in jest the Same or | wouldn't care what
folks said. That's what brought me up
hcre-folks are talking about me-"
''They are, ch ?"
" Yes, they are. They said that was

that j was dead in love with half dozen
men,"
"And it is not true"
'True, young mani Look at me |!
Great heavens ! do look like one who
wanted to get married ?"
Well, no."
"How could get married again ?"
she exclaimed. " How could / forget

"And you want them denied ?"
"That's it. Here's ten cents, and I

THE HUNT FOR CHARLEY ROSS.

Many interesting incidents connected
with the search for Charley Ross have
been obtained from the detectives en-
ployed in the case by citizens of Phla-
delphia. The detectives began the search
in July, and since then have secured the
United States and Canada, and even
crossed the Atlantic in the hope of find
ing the kidnapped boy. The work has
cost over twenty thousand dollars. One
of the largest items has been tho expense
of circulars, cards and posters. Seven
hundred thousand circulars have been is
sued containing the particulars of the alb
duction, descriptions of the boy and his
kidnappers, and photographs of Charley.
These have been sent to every Sheriff,
police officer and constable, and posted in
every railroad station, police Office and
post Office in the country. Two men
were specially detailed to attend to their
distribution in Canada. The circulars
were also posted in the vessels in most of
our seaports. The printing, mailing and
photographing have cost g., 900. Several
thousand letters and kilograms have been
sent to the detectives in answer to the
circulars. Every communication has
been answered and all trails followed. -
The correspondence has been so oxtens-
i've as to require an extra corps Of clerks.
Between five and six hundred children
have been reported as Charley Ross. In
numerous instances where good clues
were thought to have beer obtained, Off
GERS have been sent on investigations TO
distant places, only to find that the chill
dren had been trained TO answer ques-
tions intended for tho identification OF the
missing boy, and that their keepers had
been moved to the deception in the hope
of having them ransomed. Twenty-Five
detectives were engaged at one time in
making as many Investigations.
The gypsies led the detectives on many
long and fruitless chases. Over 200 bands
were heard from as having children that
were thought to be Charley Ross. Most
of the children that were sought in the
gypsy camps turned out to be stolen, and
in several instances their parents were
found. One little boy whom the officers
came across in the tents of the gypsos
was restored to his father and mother in
Rockland county afler two separations
They never expected to see him again.
The detectives believe that, directly
and indirectly, halfa million persons have
been engaged in the Ross hunt. They
can only explain the failure to find him
on the ground that he is either dead or
that the kidnappers left him in nm OBJ
scure place with some recluse who has
never heard anything about the case.-

DANIEL WEBSTER.

Daniel Webster made his home at the
Astor House while he tarried on this lit
/ tie planet and in Now York, of which he
was very fond. The commodous room
on Vesey street, atterward converted into
the ladies breakfast room, was appropri-
ated to his use. His arrival was always
announced and was the signal for q gath
ering of the political lights, the choice
wits, the bon piUdats of the metropolis
There were bibulous and rolicking nights
in that spacious apartment, much of the
great statesman's conversation there, it is
said, was more eloquent than any of his
printed orations. He held high carnival
there dwelt, as in truth he always did in
an atmosphere of adulation. AS he al
ways opposed in practice the discharging
of his bills, / strongly suspect the liberal
Accommodations he enjoyed were never
paid for. The probability is that Colonel
Stetson, his intimate friend, never want
ed, would never have taken any compen-
sation for entertaining so royal an intel
lect, so princely good fellow.
1t appears singular now the great ex-
FOUNDER of the American Constitution
should have gone through life sublimely
reckless in regard to any of his debts
He made no account of money, particu-
larly when he happened to owe it. He
was gifted pensioner upon his constitu-
ents. For thirty years or more they sup
piled all his financial wants, and these
were by no means either few or small
1t is estimated that he received during his
public career, not far from 81 100000, not
given to him in roundabout manner but
blanlkly presented in the shape of gold,
notes, checks and drafts.
This mode of contribution began with
his election to Congress in 1912, when his
legal practice already having become lu-
crative to a high degree, it was deemed
proper for leading members of the FEEDER
al party, especially of Massachusetts and
Boston, to make up to him what he would
necessarily lose by accepting office. AT
ter that time there was no lack of wealthy
admirers to furnish him with material
means.
How are you off for money, Web
ster ?" was a common question with his
acquaintances on meeting him. He new
or knew, of course but he was always
willing to accept gratuities, however ex-
! tensivo, from his host of friends. In Bos-
ton it was wont to be regarded as social
distinction to contribute to Webster's
support, but after while the custom got
to be so wide spread that most of the dis
tinction was lost.
1t was Mt tho Astor House that Webster
wishing to buy newspaper one morning
put his hand into his pocket, only to find
it empty. lie declared he had not pen
ny, whereupon one of his satellites said
" You must be mistaken, Webster, l saw
you have 500 bill just before you went
to bed last, and as you have not boon up
half an hour, you could hardly have spent
it,"
" l rather think that's So" answe red
the god like Daniel rehectively. | did
have n 500 bill, I'm sure. / wonder
what | could have done with it? BY Ju-
piter, | must given it to the little boy who
blacked my boots about five minutes
ago"
And that was the fact.
