ANOTHER KIND OF GIRL.
Statement of the Landiady Who
Entertained the Alton Woman.

The other side of the strange story pub

necessarily come out, furnished this time
gratuitously by one of the parties whose
toes were, fguratively, stepped upon.
Miss Carrie Anderson, proprietress of the
house No. 900 San Saba street, called and
made the following statement: The
woman you referred to is about As years
Of age, and ugly. She came with hack
man, and two men, one Mr.. s., living in
frontier town, the other his friend, OF
this city. The woman and Mr.. S. arrive d
at Q o'clock Saturday night and remained
until next day, and the woman insisted on
being treated as one of the inmates of the
house. She staid two days and then re-

in Alton, Ills. had come round and she
would get 81 900 by going. She only had

THE RELIGIOUS TRUTH.
Dished To An Investigating Public
At Twenty-Five Cents Head.

In these days of hippodrome prize fights,
wrestling contests, and walking matches,
it is truely refreshing to note that the
preachers are not in it. NOtwithstand-
ing this assertion, however, 1t has kept
large number of friends diligently deny
ing that the debate now in progress be-
tween Rev. Scott, Campbellite minister
of some notorietyin Northwest Texas, and
o. A. Phelps, a backwoOds lecturer of the
liberal stamp, as scarcely known to
is Just such a hippodrOme. The question
under discussion by the debaterS is the
divinity of the Bible, Rev. Scott affirm
ing, and A. o. Phelps, negating. All
light which both men, neither of whom
are remarkable for their logic, elOquence
or brilliancy, can shed upon this point, is
given to the hungry public at twenty five
cents a squint. 1t is to be hoped that the
denial of the friends of both questions
will be sustained.

A Diamond Stealing Hen.

Some time ago the household of a gen.
tleman well known in commercial circles
of Gravenhurst, Ont, was very much up
set by the loss of valuable diamond ring
belonging to guest, lady from New
York
Suspicion at once fell on a servant who
was employed as housemaid, but upon her
continued and earnest denial of the theft
she was retained, as the gentleman, from
a sense Of justice, did not wish to dis
charge her on mere suspicion. A few
days after the ring disappeared IL was
found under the lady's window, with the
solitaire stone, however, missing, having
been pried out Of the setting.
1t was supposed that the thief had re-
moved the diamond TO keep it from being
identified. The mystery was solved, how
ever, recently in most unexpected man
ner, for in cleaning a chicken for dinner
the cook discovered a small, round object
in its craw, which On being cleaned was
found to be the missing diamond.
The supposition now is that the ring fell
from the lady's hand while she was in bed,
and the clothes being shaken next morn
ing it fell from them into the yard, where
IT was found by the hen, which, pecking
the stone from the setting, swallowed it.

Our Grandfathers Died Too Young

Baron Delessert, the founder of the
Philanthropic society of Prais, found that
the annual death rate in that city during
the age of chivalry-the Fourteenth cent
ury-was one in sixteen; during the Sew
enteenth, one in twenty-six, and in 1924 one
in thirty-two. Taking all of France to-
gether the deaths during 1871 were one in
Twenty-Five, but in the five years proceed
ing 1929 they were one in thirty-nine. Thus
the value of life in France had nearly
doubled since ''the good old times.''
1t was next found that in the prisons of
England, which were already experiencing
the good effects of greater cleanliness, bet
ter food and other reforms, introduced
through the efforts of Howard and his CO.
adjutors, the health of the prisoners was
so much benefited and their lives SO much
prolonged that, as Mr.. Beecher said, "peo-
pie might sigh for a location in some good
salubrious prison." So great were the adj
vances on all sides that Sir Edwin Chad
wick, the father of sanitation, so far as it
can be defined, became persuaded that
there is potential longevity in men of one
hundred years, and that death at period
less than that should be counted prema-
ture.
He was born in 1900 and died July 5,
1870, and If 1t is true, as many statisticians
assert, that the period of human life has
heightened nine years since this century
began we can see that his belief was not
altogether the dream of an enthusiast; for.
in spite of the great advances made in the
science of sanitation and in the art of liv-
ing so as TO insure the highest health, he
felt that only beginning had been made
and that the coming century is to be the
one in which the seeds planted in this are
to attain their growth and bear their full
fruitage.-Mrs H. NJ. Plunkett in Popular
Science Monthly.
