The Story of Sam and Eve.

It was thought that the last had been
heard Of the story Of Samuel Thornton
and Eva Jewell, the two Brooklyn people
who suddenly appeared IN Jacksonville
some time ago, alleging that they had been
put ashore on the Florida coast from a YES
sci bound to the West Indies, and had
walked from the place of landing to Jack
sonville, but it seems that there are those
who think their very remarkable story is
true, and that sufficient facts can be OBJ
tanned TO prove that it is.
The story they told was that they went to
Coney Island one afternoon late In August
for the purpose Of taking surf bath. They
got beyond their depth. and while being
carried out to sea came into contact with a
drifting log, to which they chung until
rescued by a passing vessel.
Their story was ridiculed at jacksonville,
and two persons declared they saw them on
a sleeping car coming from New Orleans
An investigation was made by the minister
Of the church in Brooklyn Of which Thorn
ton and Miss Jewell are members. He re-
ported that he found enough to Justify him
in believing their story. 1t appears, how
ever, that the members Of their church do
not accept it. The most Of them think, 1t
is said, that Thornton and Miss Jewell
eloped, and having finally concluded to re-
turn home concocted the remarkable story
Of their disappearance.
A New York paper. the Recorder, pre-
tends to have found evidence to sustain the
statement 1t has found out that a vessel
that answers to the description given by
Thornton and Miss Jewell of the one that
picked them up sailed from New York the
day that they say they drifted out to sea.
The vessels name is Eurydice, aud
she was bound for Chittagong. Brit
ish Burmah. Her captain also has
all the peculiarities of appearance and
speech which Thornton and Miss Jewell say
the captain of the vessel which rescued
them had. A letter has been sent the caps
tain of the Eurydice asking him IL he
picked up man and woman from log as
he was leaving the harbor of New York.
An affirmative answer will do much toward
reinstating Thornton and Miss Jewell In
the good opinion of their friends and neigh
bors.
1t is doubtful, however, II an answer will
be received that will help Thornton and
Miss Jewell out of their difficulty. But if
the English captain should furnish evidence
to support their story they will be looked
upon as having had an experience as ex-
traordinary as any had by the heroes Of the
most extravaganza romances.

A Santa Fe Incident.

From the Kansas City Journal.
1t was silent in the chair car, and the clanking
of the rails
Made frame to hang poem on of jingling joys
or walls;
The cattleman from Burlington was drumming
on the pane;
The state house clerk was whistling on a card
some low refrain;
The high browed girl from Lawrence was en-
gagged in her Bazaar"
Der krosry man Won Veechita was chewing a
seegar.
When the train stopped at Eudora with flzxle
And took soft-eyed siren on the Santa Fe
plug.
Her carriage, face and figure were perfection,
and her smile
Was shimmered, tangled day dream as she
drifted down the aisle
The cattleman's eyes watered aud the state
house clerk was dazed;
Der krosry man Won Veechita in dizzy rapture
gazed;
The frizless girl from Lawrence put. her glasses
on and saw
A particularly interesting view across the Kaw,
While the siren sat there ooyly as a kitten on
rug
The siren from Eudora on the Santa Fe plug.
And as the train neared Argentine, the cattle
men grew rash.
He cleared his throat and nervously pulled at
his roam mustache.
Der Veechita man lost his nerve, the state
house clerk grew gray,
And as she saw the cattleman he made bold
sashay
And when at last the train had stopped she
answered loud and clear;
'Ay hat yob av verk oop at des Coates house;
call oop dere.
Ay tauk Ay lax to sey you more bacourse Ay
Said the siren from Eudora on the Santa Fe
plug.

Arbor Day.

The law enacted at the last session Of the
legislature makes the first Friday in De-
cember "Arbor day" The superintendent
Of education has announced that the
next "Arbor day" will be O holi-
day IN the public schools He is pre-
pairing a plan for its observance. His
purpose is doubtless to call attention to the
Importance of the day in as emphatic way
as possible and 60 impress upon the children
the advantages and blessings which flow
from the planting Of trees.
Nowhere near as much attention is given
to tree planting in this state as there ought
to be. The people do not seem to realize
how many and varied the benefits are which
they owe to trees. If they should study the
subject carefully they would be willing to
devote very considerable time to the plant
ing of trees aboutaheir homes
A town where streets are shaded by hand
some trees is far more attractive than one
that is virtually treeless, and farm house
that has no trees or shrubbery about it does
not present a homelike appearance. And
trees are helpful in producing rain. With
out them there would be long periods OF
drought. Where the forests have been de-
stroyed droughts are much more frequent
than formerly and the land less productive
AS the forests are destroyed. therefore, tree
planting becomes necessity.
1t is difficult to make men and women
whose time is fully occupied with the duties
of life appreciate fully the good that may
be reasonably expected from the planting of

ciate it, and that is one of the reasons prob
ably why the superintendent of education
has ordered that the public schools shall
have holiday next Friday. The reason
for the holiday should be strongly impressed
upon the school children, and they should
be encouraged to assist in planting trees.

Innocent Devotional Innovet,on

How to Tell a Mans Are.

''Give me list of the names of the men in
any city or town in this country, and even with
out having seen or heard of them, / will tell
you half their ages" said prominent Penn
sylvania citizen yesterday to Punxsutawney
Spirit reporters
How can you do thatH" asked an incredu-
lous bystander.
Simply by the initials Of their names In the
first place you must remember that about half
of the male population of this country have
been named after Presidents Of the United
States or candidates for President, and all You
have to do is to know when these presidential
candidates were at the zenith Of their popular
ity. or course, exceptions must be made of
George Washington and Andrew jackson for
people have not quit naming their boys after
these illustious men TO this day
For instance, here is the name of w, H
Johnson-William Henry Harrison was elected
President in 1896, consequently Mr.. johnson is
about IS years old. Here il w. Scott Smith
Winfield Scott ran for President in 1852 Smith
is therefore about 81 years old. The next name
on the list is A. L. North-Abraham Lincoln was
elected President in 1860. Mr. North ia
therefore about % years of age. Now take the
next-M F. Smathers. Willard Fillmore was a
candidate for President in 1855. NJ F. Smathers
is, therefore, in all probability, about SO years
old. And so on. By studying the Christian
names of men you can figure out the ages of
many Of them very closely"

Judging by his own experience the new
president of Chile has concluded that
large army and navy are dangerous
menace to the civil administration of the
country. With the navy alone Admiral
Montt overthrow all the combined influences
securely intrenched against him and he is
practical and sensible enough to suspect that
there may be some one else in one of those
armed bodies who might turn its strength
against his administration Of the presi-
Dental Office with as much effect as did he
against Balmaceda. Consequently he has
concluded that 1t were better to abandon
war with the United States and reduce the
dangerous strength of the army and navy
than to take the risk of having to combat a
new revolution whenever those bodies may
choose to become discontented or irritable
through sheer idleness. Unless nation has
vigorous fighting to do it has no use for a
large army.
