HISTORY AT FAULT.
Robert Morris Did Not Die In a Debters'
| - Yrlaun. !.

Robert Morris Did Not Die In n Debtof1'
Prison.
1t is probable that American history,
80 far as it relates to Robert Morris, q
signer Of the declaration Of indepen-
dence, the companion financier OF HAM
ilton and Gallatin, whose management
of the finances of the country made the
success of the revolution possible and
enabled the young nation to get on its
feet and live, will have to be remode1ed.
Every schoolboy knows, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer, that the ceie-
brated Philadelphia patriot was born In
England, became wealthy man In
Philadelphia by his business ability,
sacrificed his wealth to his country,
died in debtors prison on account OF
unfortunate land speculations, and was
buried in Christ church-yard. 1t is
known that he furnished the ono mill
lion five hundred thousand dollars
which enabled Washington to carry out
his successful campaign against Corn
wallis. Several years ago congress ap-
propriated money to reimburse the
heirs of Mr.. Morris for this one million
five hundred thousand dollars with in
terest, the whole amounting to nearly
eight million dollars.
The search for heirs and their cre-
dentials has brought to light the i'm
portant fact that Mr.. Morris did not die
in 1906 in Philadelphia's debtors
prison, but lived in 1925 on farm
near Farlningdale, N. j., where he was
attended by Mary Hurley, his grand
daughter, who is herself alive at the
age of nirety-four and lives with her
granddaughter at Toms River, N. j.
Mrs. Hurley, despite her advanced age,
is in full possession of her faculties.
She remembers her grandfather per-
fectly. He was blind during the last
part of his life. He often spoke to her
of George Washington, of the great
struggle for liberty, and the part he
(Morris) took in it. He was, it is
thought, allowed to escape from debt
ors' prison by some sympathetic keeper
who remembered his great service to
his country and took this way Of show
ing his appreciation.
Mrs. Hurley had Bible which was
printed in Hartford, Conn, in 1910, in
which her grandfather wrote his name.
1t is almost an exact fac simile of that
attached to the declaration Of inde-
pendence. Experts who have examined
the two signatures say they were un-
doubtedly written by the same person.
He was buried in Leedsville, N. j. Mr..
Morris has many descendants in this
vicinity,

A Singular Freak of Nature.

A singular freak OF nature has man
ifested itself at Saratoga. Mrs. Mary
Francis originally had very black
eyes and beautiful head Of very black
hair. She is about seventy years old
now, in good health, and rich widow.
When she was about fifty her hair be-
gan to turn white, and in q few years
the whole of it was as white as snow,
and SO remained until about a year ago,
when it began to turn black again, and
has now, without the use of any arti-
fetal means and purely as freak of
nature, almost wholly returned to its
original color, and is as long and silky
as when she was young woman.

MONTIED THE PRINCE.

"A Detectives Story Of Wales and the
Thrce-Card Game.
= 'sThis baccarat business, said noted
detective the other day, reminds me
of something that occurred to the prince
some years ago. He was given what
we call the double turn. A large num-
Der of Scotland yard men were about
the castle during the visit of the shah
of Persia.
''One of the police inspectors who
was quite clever with the cards was
called in to give some exhibitions. He
threw the cards around in three-card
monte style to let the shah pick out a
certain card. Directly the prince got
to betting that the shah could pick the
card. Then the inspector got in his
work. Whenever there was no bet
made he threw the cards SO that the
shah could pick out the one he wanted
to, but when the prince had his money
up the shah found it impossible to pick
the desired card. Finally, the inspector
had taken in about thirty dollars. He
handed it back, saying he was not al
lowed to keep it.
"'Keep it, man. commanded the
prince.
"'The rules will not allow me- pro-
tested the inspector.
"I'n see that that part of it will be
all right said the prince. If you are
clever enough to work the game you
are entitled to the money"

A RANCHMAN's HAPPY FAMILY.
FAwns, wild Fowl and Bear Mingle
Amicably with His Tame Stock.

Fsvus, wild Fowl and Bear Mingle
Amicably with His Tame Stock.
There is a strange ranch just over
Puget sound, near Renton, half dozen
miles from here, on which wild animals
md ordinary domestic animals are being
successfully reared side by side, the
former not interfering in the least with
the others. This has been going on for
years, and wild and tame animals dwell
together in the greatest harmony.
The. ranch, says Seattle paper, is
owned by Peter Gallagher, who settled
in the woods there over twenty years
ago, and has managed to clear up over
one hundred acres. During all these
years Mr.. Gallagher has not been given
to hunting, although all kinds of ami
mails have constantly surrounded him.
Because of this they have grown tame,
and they often come right into the barn
yard and make themselves perfectly at
home.
One of these is black bear. He has
for nearly year visited Gallagher's
yard almost daily, eaten with the cattle
and lain down with the calves, display
ing neither fear nor ferocity. Gallagher
often goes among the stock at such
times, passing within two or three feet
of bruin, who weighs some three hun
drcd pounds, but as Gallagher has never
disturbed him he does not bother to
move away. On the contrary he appre-
ciates as favor various scraps of bacon
and other articles from the table which
the worthy rancher feeds to him. Gal
lagher thinks q great deal of his pet,
and would not have him molested for
anything. The bear seems to enjoy
being with the cattle and especially
with the calves.
A handsome pair of fawns also run
about the place, associating regularly
with the calves, and at times with the
shaggy black bear, and not in the least
fearing the other animals of the motley
collection, nor Mr.. Gallagher, who is
uniformly kind to the stock, wild and
tame. The fawns came from the vicin-
ity of Cedar Lake, where considerable
hunting is done, and from which Sec
Ition game is being driven. Some five
years ago another pair of fawns came
to Mr.. Gallagher's ranch and made
their home there for a couple of years,
even going into the barn during stormy
nights and being locked up with the
stock. Mr.. Gallagher at length gave
them to neighbor who had taken a
fancy to them, and he in turn presented
Nthem to friend on the Snohomish, who
yet has them.
! Numerous focks of wild ducks and
geese and other wild fowl alight in the
worthy rancher's yard, showing NO
fear at his presence. The advent of a
stranger, however, viii quickly put
them all to flight. Mr.. Gallagher says
the whole secret of it is in being kind
to wild animals. He does not hunt hun.
self nor will he permit others to do sc
ION his premises AS his ranch is some.
what secluded, being bounded on near
1y I'll sides by deep woods. the wild ami
mails and fowl are rarely disturbed.

Ansction Of Two belgian Horses.

Every one at Brussels, says o French
paper, will remember two superb white
horses, whose tails swept the ground,
running by the side of each other in the
Russian style. Whether driven or rid
den they always went together, and
were SO fond of each other they could
not be separated, even to go to the far
rier. For twenty years these two noble
animals had never been parted until
about three weeks ago, when one OF
them died. AS soon as his body was
lying dead in the stable his companion
became detected, and when it was
taken away he refused to cat. In vain
was the attempt made to deceive him
by putting another animal at his side
as this was all to no purpose. Tor he
would not touch his oats, and in o week
no died.
