to Fort Taylor" as they then dubbe
Taylor's Hotel. Fisk himself looked
after her baggage.
Seized with one of her sudden i'm

wrote letter to Cornelius Vanderbilt
requesting him to appoint some tins
and place when she could have a strictly
private and confidential interview with
him, having matters of the utmost i'm

The letter was mislaid in transit and
was accidently found few years ago by
party who still holds it as a ''curiosity
of literature.
Josie was always opposed to Fisk hav-
ing any theatrical schemes on hand
She did not favor his having to do with
actresses or actors. But this was one of

EVERY INCH A SOLDIER.
An Officer Who Was Injured to the Hard
ships of War.

Sn1PS OF war
A good story is told on one of the
officers connected with a local militia
company. For number of days be
fore an inspection of the citizen sol
afternoon retire to the privacy of his
own bed-chamber, in the second story
of his residence, and after dressing him
self in full regimentals would put an
imaginary company through a lively
course of drilling. He would clasp his
sword at the hilt with one hand and at
the point with the other, and then walk
backward as if viewing the alignment
of his troops.
1t SO happened, says the Anaconda
(Mont.) Standard, that while going
through this maneuver one afternoon, he
walked backward into an open stairway
and tumbled into heap on the floor
of the room below, and presented any
thing but soldierly and dignifed ap-
pearance as he lay there rubbing his
bruises. His good wife was in the room
attending to some household duty, and
she rushed to the side Of the fallen hero,
and in anxious and tender voice asked
him if he were hurt.
With a quick bound her husband re-
gained his feet, and coming to an "at-
tention," in voice of thunder roared
out: Hurt? No, woman; what do you
know about WARP" and then ran back
upstairs and dismissed his soldiers

An Uncommon Name.

There is a man in Washington who
has a most uncommon name, and a
paper in that city tells how he came by
it. His mother was on the lookout for
something original, and one day before
his christening she noticed on the door
of building the word "Nosmo." This
struck her fancy. Now for middle
name. Later, coming along by the
same building, she saw on the door the
name king" All, this was what she
was after. "Nosmo King Jones he
shall be-" she said, and he was chris
tened SO. On the way home from the
church she passed the same building
again. The doors were all shut, and be-
hold! the DOORS with the names on them
she had selected were shut together,
and she read, not ''Nosmo King" but
mo Smoking" and her heart was
broken.

Valuable Thoroughbred Horses Killed or
Captured.
At the time of the outbreak of the
late war the south contained many Of
the best bred and best Individual thor
oughbreds and saddle horses on this
continent. Some of these horses, says
the st. Paul Globe, were taken by their
owners into active service and many Of
them killed and captured by the federal
army, most of those that were captured
being taken to unknown quarters,
where their identity was lost and breed
ing unknown. Many of the very best
ones were left at home when their own
ers entered the army, and so far as the
breeding interests are concerned, they
Jared no better than those that listened
to the bugle call and witnessed the ter
rible realities of war, as under the plea
of military necessity" these grand ami
mails were taken by the federal officers
and soldiers, and in most cases not for
the purpose of using in the army, but
for the private gain of the parties TAX
ing them, and were taken north to diff
ferent sections, where their breeding
and their history were entirely I'M
known.
When stables Of as fine and valuab BILE
thoroughbreds as could be found in
America were thus taken and con-
verted, and their after lives passed in
obscurity and amid people by whom
they were entirely unknown and I'M
appreciated, hence it is that in the
"Stud Book and other turf registers
we SO frequently find the sire or dam of
some distinguished turf performer put
down as breeding unknown. or "breed-

One of the wars of the roses, the

fought on field where, curiously
enough, a rose peculiar to the spot

don News. 1t is rare plant now, and
the reason is explained by Mr.. Leadman
in his account of Yorkshire battles.
After describing the terrible battle at
Towton on Palm Sunday, 1461, he says:
81 cannot conclude this story of Towton
Field without an allusion to the little
dwarf bushes peculiar to the Field of
the White Rose and the Red They are
said to have been plentiful at the com
mencement of this century, but visitors
have taken them away in such numbers
that they have become rare. Such van
dalism is simply shameful, for the
plants are said to be unique and unable
to exist in any other soil. The little
roses are white, with red spot on the
center Of each of their petals, and as
they grow old the under surface be-
comes dull red COLOR

QUEER BOOKKEEPING.
Tho Novel Scheme of Father With a
Theory.

rho Novel scheme OF q Father With a
Theory.
A scheme not often heard of, and not
destined to become popular, is that Of a
Boston man described in the Boston
Post. The man has large family of
children, boys and girls, and the eldest
is about eighteen. Whenever a child
has been born unto him he has bought q
blank book. He has written the child's
name upon the cover and he has en-
tered upon the pages in a firm, precise
handwriting all sums of money spent
upon the child from the day of its birth
He can tell at glance the cost of it's
food, its dress; what he paid for the
services of nurse and doctor; the price
of its schooling; the money value of its
amusements. And he proposes when
each child is twenty-one to give it a
birthday feast, and after the cake is cut
he will present the book to his offspring,
saying: Here you can see what you
have cost me-" The expenses of the
feast will be included in the sum total.
The gentleman is of Scotch descent. His
theory is that the child will thus learn
the value of money and that he will be
the more prudent and grateful in the
after years

This country beats the world for
tacl1s, and sends them by the billion
to housewives in every quarter of the
globe. The Matchmaking machinery,
too, is a wonder of semi-intelligent
mechanism. 1t would be even more won
derful but for a single difficulty that
has not yet been overcome. An intelli-
gent observer in a tack mill conceived
the idea of utilizing electricity in such
a manner as to increase the output Of
every tack machine tenfold. His idea
was to pick up the metallic blanks from
which the tacks are made, ten at a
time, by means of a series of magnets.
When he had his idea perfected he
showed it to the greatest of tack max
ers. The manufacturer looked it over
carefully and said: THAT is extremely
ingenious, but do you know that the
blow which cuts out the metallic blank
converts it into n magnet, and that your
magnet would not pick up the magnet
lied blank unless you could be sure Of
getting opposite poles together?"

Destruction and Death Attributed to Their
Agency.
A volume might be compiled concern
ing the malefic work ascribed to par
ticular comets, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Prior to the great earth
quake in Achaia in the year 373 b. c.
there appeared a comet of enormous
size, which was supposed to have oc-
casioned the destruction of the cities of
Bura and Helice. Aristotle mentions
a comet which appeared 341 B. c.,
which was supposed to have caused
terrific storm at Corinth. The brilliant
comet in the year 43 B. C. $50 bright as
to be visible to the naked eye in the
daytime), was thought by the Romans
to be the ghost of the murdered Caesar.
comet in the year 81 A. D. was sup
posed to have presaged the death of the
emperor, Claudius, which took place
soon after; another, in the year 63, was
thought to have caused earthquakes in
Achaia and Macedonia. The death of
Constantine is said to have been pre-
coded for several days by the appear
ance of a comet of extraordinary size;
and a comet in the year 400 was be-
lieved to have caused tempests and fire.
quent thunder, numerous eclipses of
the moon, and prodigious hailstorms and

held to have presaged the arrival of
Alaric, king of the Visioths, in Italy
an event which caused immense con-
sternation at Rome.
A comet which appeared Immediately
before the birth of Mohammed was sub
sequently supposed, by his followers, to
have announced his birth. A comet in
March, 1909, visible at midday, was
held to have foretold the death Of John
Galeas Visconti, IN italian prince.
Another, in 1882, created profound
sensation in Europe; in Italy it was
deemed to have foreshadowedt the death

when the police first heard of the
scheme. There were five men concerned
in the robbery, four of whom were ar
rested. Charles Engle and Wallace
Snow did the actual work.
H. N. HOLSTER first proposed the
scheme. Engle had been long in the en-
ploy of the Spencers and was familiar
with the premises. He informed Hollis
ter that about this time of the month
the Spencers usually had from $13, 900
to $14, 900 in their office Chief of Police
Simpson had prepared thoroughly for
the robbery, and everything was in read
mess to catch the robbers.
Charles Bowen was arrested in a barn
yard with Engle and Wallace as they
were dividing the little booty they had
obtain ed Hollister was arrested soon
after. The S13, 900 was so we'll concealed
that the robbers could not have found it

Indian Mounds In Delaware.

Great mounds of sand and oyster
shells found upon the seaside in lower
Delaware are said to be of Indian
origin. The Nanticokes, tribe that
has left its name up the geography of
Pennsylvania at various points, were
accustomed at the approach of winter
to move southwark into lower Della
ware, and there to feed all winter long
upon fish and oysters. The mounds
mark the great camping grounds of the
tribe. The Nanticobe, large river of
the peninsula, perpetuates the name Of
the tribe and strengthens the tradi-
ton
