A Venerable Turtle.

1t seems that in 1910 Henry Mogul,
father Of the present Treasurer of High.
land County, Ohio. caught a turtle on
his farm in Center Township, that
county, and cutinto its back the initials,
"H. NJ, 1910" He let tho turtle GO,
but related the circumstance to his son.
Recently the County Treasurer was out
walking over the old farm, when lie
accidentally came across the identical
old turtle upon which his father had
carved his initials seventy-eight years
before. The turtle was alive, and as
active as ,vcr. the inscription on his
back being almost as distinct rs when
first made. : Cincinnati Enquirer,

MRS. Reem,s Appeal.

Chicago, May 15-The following open
letter from Mrs. Martin BEEN, whose
husband, Gen. BEEN, suiclded at Stan
ton, Neb., some time ago, was received
and read last night at the session of the
Union Veteran club:
Gentlemen of the Union Veteran
Olub;--I write you to ask that you re-
ceiye and discuss the report of your COM
mittee, who were appointed to investi.
gate the death Of my husband in open
sessions for these reasons: A full know "
ledge OF the facts attendant to his death
is my complete vJudication. The worst
that have TO fear is that the facts will
not be known or will be distorted Either
murdered him or he committed snicide.
A report that does not affirm q belief
one way or the other cannot be frank
expression OF candid men, and is
unjust to the living and che dead.
Ii the committee believes that
l murdered him then I wish
the report and discussion to be public
one, in order that the press, which has SO
far been my chest friend, may have a

tion to the fact that rny husband, imme-
diately before leaving Chicago, emptied

ates the probable murderer, appoints o
committee to investigate the matter,
and finishes With statement that his
threat 10 commit snicide WAS meaning
less and made for effect only. He had
written for information es to needed
ammunition in order that his prospective
murderer might lack nothing. He
then rushed into the arms OF the
one thus appointed to do the bloody
deed and surprised her with the opper-
tunity. The fact that 1876 900 life in.
surance, payable to the sister, may de-
pend on his making it appear that he
was murdered, seems to have occurred
to few but the inventor of the scheme,
Nor does the fact that by his own acts
he had made it impossible for him to
return here and earn living, seem to
have entered into the probabilities of my
enilt. To be alike just to your comrade
and myself, would 1t not take greater
courage than many OF you have shown
