4 Bamed Parent.

There is baffied old man in Williams
port, Pa, and he is disguised. too. 1t
seems that he learned that his daughter
intended to elope upon certain even
ing with a lover upon whose suit he
frowned. So he locked his child up in
her room, and sat down stairs listening
for the sound of the lovers carriage
wheels
But that disgraceful young man tied
rags around the tires of his sulky, so as
to mutfle the noise, and he drove softly
up to the back gate. He then sent
boisterous, ricke;y hack around to the
front, and engaged the man to make as
much racket as he could for the money.
When the Infatuated father heard it
he rushed out with shot. gun, just in
time to see female figure jump into
the hack and drive of. He fred two
rounds of buckshot at the concern,
rushed ont and got his horse, and start
ed in pursuit.
Meanwhile the insidious outcast who
loved his daughter persuaded her to
slide down the hghtning-rod and then
fled away with her in an opposite di-
rection from that in which the enraged
parent had gone.
The bereaved old man had caught up
with the hack about eighteen miles out
of town, and he not only shot the driver,
bnt he burst the door open and dragged
forth-a man, dressed in waterproof
cloak.
The father was Immediately arrested
for highway robbery and assault and
battery with intent to kill, and the pros
ecutors say they will press the suit
unless he comes down with handsome
dover for his daughter, and then gives
the couple his paternal blessing.
There is no use of trying to explain
the mental condition of this old man.
The English is copious and vigorous,
and all that; but it fails utterly in these

Few persons who use steel pens on
which is stamped "Gillott" have any
idea of the story Of suffering, of indom-
liable pluck and persistence which be-
long to the placing of that name on
that article.
A long depression in trade in En-
gland threw thousands of Sheffield me-
chanics out of work. among them Jo-
seph elliott, then 81 years of age.
He left the city with but shilling in
hispocket. Reaching Birmingham, he
went into an old inn and sat down,
upon wooden settle in the tap-room.
His last penny was spent for roll. He
was weak, hungry, and i'll. He had not
friend In Birmingham; and there was
little chance that he would find work.
In his dependency he was tempted
to give up and turn beggar or tramp.
Then sudden fiery energy seized him.
He brought his fist down on the table,
declaring to himself that he would try
and trust in God, come what would.
He found work that day in making belt
buckles, which were then fashionable.
AS soon as he had saved pound or
two he hired garnet in Bread street,
and there carried on work for himself,
bringing his taste AMI his knowledge of
tools into constant use, even when work
ing at hand made goods. This was the
secret of Gillotts success. Other work
men trudged on passively in the old
ruts. He was wide-awake, eager to i'm
prove his work, or TO shorten the way of
working.
He fell in love with pretty and SEN
sible girl named Mitchell, who with her
brothers was making steel pens. Each
pen was then clipped, punched and pol
ished by hand, and pens were sold con-
sequently at enormously high prices.
elliott at once brought his skill in
tools to bear on the matter, and soon
invented machine which turned the
points out by thousands, in the time
that man would require to make one.
He married Miss Mitchell, and they car
ried on the manufacture together for
years.
On the morning of the marriage, the
industrious workman made a gross of
pens, and sold them for $50, to pay the
wedding fees. In his old age, having
reaped an immense fortune by his
shrewdness, honesty and industry, Mr..
elliott went again to the old inn, bought
the settle, and had the square on which
he sat that night sawed out and made
into u chair, which he left as an heir
loom to his family, to remind them of
the secret of bis success.

A Queer Bug.

A curious bug was brought to the
Chronicle Office this morning by Henry
Hunt, resident of North b street.
Mr.. Hunt found the bug in his back
yard. 1t is about the size of quarter
OF dollar, and its popularity is that
while it is shaped much like turtle, it
walks on only half of its legs at time.
1t has six legs, three on side. When
it walks it balances itself on its edge
and moves along at good pace on
three legs. After walking in this way
about a minute, it fops over and walks
on the other three legs. Sometimes it
walks on its two fore legs, like man in
a circus walking on his hands. Mr..
Hunt asserts that the bug can execute
handspring either backward or forward,
but, while it was in this office, it did not
essay feat so difficult. It's back is
deep blue, spotted with gold, and
its belly is striped with red. When
the bug walks on its fore legs it reminds
one OF circus acrobat in spangles of
many colors. While Mr.. Hunt was ex-
hibiting his bug, Capt. Sam, the Piute
chief, came in with Charley, of Silver
City. Sam remarked, with a smile of
superior knowledge: Circus bug, you
bet" The Piute stretched string be-
tween two tables, and the bug walked
the tight-rope on edge, and then hung
down from it by its hind feet. The
Piutes venerate the insect, and say that
when it appears in the fall with gold
marks on it's back it means plenty.
Black spots signify death, and white
spots famine. Aside from the absurd
superstitivns, the bug is certainly a
wonderful thing, and its antics vastly
amusing. Mr.. Hunt refused $40 for it
this morning, offered by Tom Buckner.

What came near being terrible
calamity was averted by the presence
of mind of two brave men in New
York hot many days ago. We quote
from local paper: At an early hour
in the morning, shortly after the en-
ployes of Frank Leslie's publishing
house got to work, they were notified
that they must leave the building at
once. There are nearly 500 employees,
including many females, and all got out
in an orderly manner through the pres
ence of mind of Mr.. James l.. Finn,
foreman of the press-room, who ordered
the employees on each floor to Leave
Immediately, and no back talk; get out,
and Ill tell you all about it tomorrow"
1t seems there are two boilers under
the sidewalk, between which and the
press-room is brick wall. The wall,
owing to the pressure of coal, backed up
against one OF the boilers used for heat
ing the building, and the feed-pipe was
broken short Off up against the boiler,
filling the room with steam and smoke.
There was danger that the large boiler.
which runs the presses, would burst.
Mr.. Finn sent wet blankets to the roof
to cover the chimney-tops to stop the
draught. The steam had by this time
filed the press-room, and the foreman,
with James Riley, engineer, attempted
to enter the engine room for the pur-
pose OF turning of the steam. As they

The first railway in the United States

The greyhound is short lived. AT

at his 9th or 9th year he is worth little

himself out in three years.
VINO will dare complain that books
now a-days are high? In 1920 a Latin
Bible was valued at $3.50, and the wages
OF iaborer were so small that the earn
lngs OF fifteen years are said to have
been necessary to buy Bible, which,
being IN Latin, was, after all, practically
useless to the common people.
LOCOMOTIVES are used on canal
towpaths In France. They are of light
build, not weighing over four or five
tons, and are managed easily by one
man. Barges are thus drawn at speed
OF two miles an hour, about twice the
mean rate OF a horse on the towpath.
An empty vessel is drawn six miles an
hour, but greater speed would damage
the banks of the canal.
The principle upon which a balloon
rises IN the atmosphere is exactly the
srme as that which causes the ascent of
a cork from the bottom of a vessel
filled with water. The weight of the
volume of air which it displaces must
exceed the weight of the balloon and all
it carries. IL was not till 1776 that hy-
drogen was found to be lighter than
common air; and two brothers, Stephen
and Joseph Montgolfier, of Aunay,
France. have the honor of being the
first to prepare and send up a balloon
into the air. This was in 1888.

The unhappy boy poked around among

his eyes. He soon got his fingers on
the scorched pig, from which delight.
ful odor arose, and, after a habit that
boys have, put his fingers into his
mouth. From that moment roast pig
became famous.

The Death Of TOmpkins' Mother.

The gentleman of this city who was

He came home late the other evening

Made Board and Lodging OF II.

An English paper relates that in a
farmhouse at Kirkcaldy a tempting
ham hung from one of the rafters, and
rat with rare instinct gnawed a hole in
the woodwork directly over it, and. de-
scending, ate its way into the interior
OF the sweet morsel. One day the
housewife started to take the ham down.
when out bolted the depredator and into
the hole. The ham was perfect shell,
skin and bone only remaining to show
its form, while the rat had begun to
build nest in it.

A Hundred.DOllar Bill.

We have story with moral for our
numerous subscribers who are in the
habit OF carrying 800 in their pockets.
A Hartford gentleman had roll to that
amount when he went to his butchers
ON Saturday. Monday he called ON him
and said he must have dropped the roll
III his shop. Butcher said man he
knew by sight came in just after the
gentleman was gone Saturday night,
and, after paying for his meat, stopped
down, picked up a roll, said he had
dropped his money, and walked
of. On the following Saturday
this man returned and was told
about the other mans loss. He
at once sent him check for the amount.
ana said he was in neighboring town
the week before, and was paid 500 Just
as the train was leaving, so he thrust it.
as he supposed, into his vest pocket.
When he was at the market he missed
1t, and, looking down, saw the roll on
the floor, which he put into his pocket
again. A week after, while feeling in
his coat, which he had not worn during
the week. he found another roll in one
OF the pockets. He at once posted to
the butchers to find if any one had lost
the sum. He was to have been arrested
the following Monday, and would have
had hard work to prove his innocence
of the theft.
