five or ten years or even less time, has
frequently met men who were too poor

The Man Under the Bed. .
the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The man under the bed seems to
exercise an irresistible fascination up
on the feminine mind. This fascina-
tiOn undoubtedly may be accounted
for largely upon traditional and
hereditary grounds. Scientists tell
us that persistent personal habits
tend to produce themselves from gen
Grafton to generation.
Then, again, women will continue
to look under the bed so long as the
world lasts, 1 suppose from sheer
ipgrained curiosity. Who was it
that said, "Life would not be worth
living for woman were it not
for the constant possibility of
finding out some secret? At all
events, this is plainly the rea-
son why women hide the pockets in
their dresses; why they organize
sewing circles; Wey they yearn to be
come pOstmistresses. Curiosity comes
as natural to a woman as singing
does to q cat. This looking under
the bed every night is one of those
innocent little eXcitements which
brighten the dull hue Of everyday
life and fringe 1T with romance and
poetry What if the anticipated
boots should some time appeari
There is excitement enough in that
thought to keep even a Woodworking
society woman in a pleasant futter
all day. Aye, blessings on those
suppOsititiOus bOotsl What a dull,
prOsaic life most women would lead
if it was not FOR theml
To 3OOkundar the bed is a WOman's
ancient and prescriptive right. Oc-
-casiOnally a WiticisIn is perpetrated
which hinges upon some wOman's
having forgotten to perform this
time -hOnered ceremony. But whoever
sets forth or banks upon such a witt
cism shows his gross ignorance of
woman nature 4 woman never
fOrgets to look under the bed. That
is duty and a principle which it is
psychOlOgically impossible for her to
omit. When a rooster fOrgets to
crow early in the morning or a
plumber fOrgets to make out a bill
in the glad spring time, we viii listen
to the amateur humOrist who inn
AGNES that a woman ever foroets to
look under the bed as a prelude to
peaceful slumber.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Before two months shall have
passed. said DR.. Seen Pancoast last
night. ''I propose to land in PhiIa-
delphia 100000 worth of gold
and silver bars and precious stones
now lying in the bottom of the At
lantic Ocean, the treasure Of the
sunken English sloop-ofwar De
Braak, which went down In 1888.
The main obstacle heretofore to 10
eating the wreck, the Doctor says,
has been the variation of the me
ridian, which has been accurately
solved by Lieutenant-CO Commander
Adams of the United States Navy,
who has been granted a leave of alb
sence by the secretary of the navy to
further prosecute the search for the
De Braak. He viii act as the chief of
the expedition, which is the second
one fitted out by DR.. PancOast to
search for this wreck. The steam
boat Long Branch CT New York has
been chartered for this expedition,
and after undergoing repairs she will
take on board a full complement OF
submarine divers, experts and Off
GERS in charge OF Lieutenant Adams.
Everything viii be under strict
navy discipline The spot
where the wreck is said to be
is about a half mile off the
point Of Cape HenIopen, and with
the powerful pumps from the steamer
it is expected that the mud viii first
be washed away, and then the divers
will land the bars of the precious
metal on the deck of the Long Branch.
A revenue cutter viii be asked for to
protect the treasure. The headquar-
tiers Of the expedition viii be at Cape
May point. The De Braak, in which
the treasure is supposed to be buried,
sailed from Falmouth, England, on
on June 3, 1897, for the British
West Indies. She was commanded
by Capt. James Drew, with a compile
