MARRIED HIS srEPnOrHE..
A Somewhat Unusual Matrimonial Aui-
ance in New Jersey Village

At the village of Manasquan, N. j.,
on the night OF the Goth, Washington
Parks, furniture manufactures of
Philadelphia, was married TO his step
mother, Mrs. Richard Parks. She is
young and pretty. She married the
elder Parks three years ago and at
his death received $125, 900 from
his estate on condition that if
she married again the legacy was
to be forfeited to the two chill
dren. Inasmuch as the widow has
married again, she forfeits her 1926
600, but in conformance with the
terms implied in the Will, the estate
goes TO her husband. Mr.. Parks, who
is 2e years OF age, always manifested
great fondness for his young STEP
mother, which eventually ripened into
love. Mrs. Parks was once q servant
girl in the house of Richard Parks,
then prominent citizen OF Camden,
and her MAJ riage to him created q
great deal of gossip at the time.

Dog Meat is Good.

from the chicago News
That dog meat is good to the taste
is known to nearly every army officer
who has served on the borders. To
the Sioux Indians dog meat is what
turkey is to other people. They con-
slider 1t a great deIicacy. The animals
to be eaten are kept carefully penned
up and great attentions paid to their
diet. They soon become very fat.
When they have accumulated so much
fat that their legs will no longer mold
them up they are ready for the table.
The Sioux Indian cook first skins the
animal carefully and then roasts him
on spit. The grease which falls from
the roasting animal he catches in a
wooden or bark trough, and alter.
wards uses for gravy. On all state oc.
Casions there Is a feast OF dog meat,
and to refuse to eat it Is to offend
mortally Sioux Indian.
Whenever q treaty has been made
or a pow-WOw held between army Off.
o5r5 and Sioux braves, dog meat has
been passed around. Army officers
who have been through the ordeal say
the flesh IS by no means unpalatable
1t is white and tender, and tastes very
much like the flesh OF nicely roasted
turkey, or perhaps more like a goose.

was the "single number" man, who
thought that his selection would GER

even money and never bets on any

has figured the percentage" down to
a fine point, and who sits around a
roulette wheel as often as he does a
Eoker-table, sat at the head OF the

not met him, and what gambler has
not blessed his lucky stars that such
a steady victim was ever born? He

Artificial Leather.

Some OF the new artificial leather
made IN Germany is being applied sue
cessfully TO industrial fabriCations.
The substance is prepared by mixing
with five to ten per cent. ofsinews and
pressed into sheets ike ordinary
leather card board. The materials
are made separately. Pieces OF leath-
er are washed, cut, boiled in alkaline
iye, torn, neutralized with hydrochlo-
nc acid, and finally carefully washed
once more, to remove all traces OF
acid. To this are added sinews, which
are treated similarly, but steamed in
an acid bath until they are ike glue.
After being thus prepared, the mate
rails are mixed, pressed into sheets,
moistened on both sides with a CON
centrated solution OF alum, and the
upper surface is at last given thin
coat OF caoutchouc in solution with
carboniC bisulphide.

James Gibson-Craig's Death.

From the London Truth
James GibsOn-Craig, who died at
Edinburgh last week in his S7th year,
was about the last survivor OF the
brilliant circles Of the golden age OF the
society OF that city, OF which Sir Wal.
ter Scott, Pro- Wilson, Lord Jeffrey
and Lord Cockburn were the stars.
He was a writer to the Signet, and was
for the most OF his life partner in the
eminenJ and influential firm of Gibson
Craig, Dalziell & Brodie, OF which his
father was for many years the head.
Mr.. Gibson was not only the friend OF
Sir Walter Scott, but also the trustee
of his estate alter the financial crash
of 1926. Mr.. Gibson-Craig's elder
brother was one of the leaders OF the
Wing party n Scotland, and he repre-
sented Edinburgh for eleven years and
Midlothian for four years. Tsey were
both on intimate terms with Lord
MacaUlay. Mr.. Gibson-Craig Travelled
in Italy Tor some years after leaving
college, and it was during his residence
in that country that ne acquired the
taste for rare books, old pictures, and
china, bronzes, and miniatures, for
which he was so eminently distin-
guished, and he there laid the founda-
tiOn OF the splendid collection ne has
lett OF these objects, which is certainly
one OF the finest iu Great Britain. He
was fond OF showing his possessions to
congenial visitors, and he was exceed
ingly hospitable and altogether a truly
charming gentleman OF tke old school.

He lie Released In Obedience of the Order
of the Chihuahua Supreme Court.

A dispatch from FL Paso, says: At
11:30 on the 23d Cutting was taken
once more before Judge Castenadas'
court, when the official minutes OF
the Chihuahua supreme court had
arrived which recited the decree
releasing him from further Gus
tody. The decision OF the court is
based entirely upon the fact that
Medina, the offended party, had waived
his right to civil suit for damages,
the court holding that this ended the
proceedinCs OF the state. When re-
leased by court, Cutting replied: "As
long as am not further detained as a
prisoner | accept my liberty, and re-
quest that copy OF the decree of the
supreme court be given me for my
futureuse." This the court consented
to do in Spanish. Judge Castenadas
sent copy of the decree to Mr.. Pro-
vencio, who sent back word that he
in person would give Cutting his liberty

Bad for Locomotive Engineers.

moonlight nights-they are the
bane OF railroad engineers" said q
head official of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad. Gan engineers dread moon
light nights. They try their nerves to
the utmost. Engineers like to run on
dark nights. On a moonlight night
the trouble with them Is no trouble at
all-shadows. An engineer, looking
out from his engine, sees before him all
manners OF shadows. He is sure that
the dark shadow across the track he
sees is man or a rock, or some kind
OF an obstruction. Going around
curves, along hillsides, many curious
shadows are outlined on the track,
and very often an engineer is so worked
up over a nights ride that heis scarce
" able to perform his duties"

Labor Notes.

The big strike at Brockton, Mass,
which has kept thirty y-nine factories
and 5000 hands idle four weeks IS
over, a peace committee having effect
ed settlement.
Shoenburger's nail mill, at Pitts
burg; which has been closed for several
weeks, IS about to resume work, the
employees having decided to follow the
example OF the Wheeling aud Mingo
men and 60 to work at the 17-cent
scale. 1t is quite probable that the
other Plttsburg factories will follow
suit a few days later.
A New York dispatch of the 9th
says: The strike on the surface roads
is now ended. The strikers on the
Belt line today decided to follow the
example set them by the employees oi
the Broadway road, and tomorrow
morning they will return to work.
The men will hereafter be paid by the
trip, and not by the day. Several
fights occurred during the day between
"scabs" and strikers, but no general
disturbance took place.

the union should be given work by The
manufacturers. On the 9th the
manufacturers resolved that after the
following Monday they would employ
no union cutters until the strike at
the two places named should have
been declared of. II the union holds
out, 500 cutters will be thrown out OF
work and 10000 other employees af-

last night having determined to tie up

run on any OF the Broadway com

for the old schedule and the company
for the new schedule, with an extra

no compromise and has notified the
